Two Hearts’ Rendezvous (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 20) by Tamara Ferguson is her latest iteration of this wonderfully sweet and romantic series. Zane, Lex, and little six-year-old Caleb have been on the run since they escaped from the sex traffickers who kidnapped them years earlier. Raiding a wine-storage facility on the vineyard of Gabe Giordano and his family, the trio is spotted by twelve-year-old Izzy Giordano. With a brother and younger sister who were also trafficked as part of the family, Izzy knows what the trio is going through and introduces them to her father and Jake Loughlin, both semi-retired FBI agents. Zane and Izzy’s instant connection and friendship will be rekindled later in life as friendship turns to romance but given Zane’s horrific past can he truly open up and let Izzy into every part of his life?
Two Hearts’ Rendezvous is a typically soulful and romantic tale that we have come to expect from this author. I have been an immense fan of author Tamara Ferguson for some years now and her latest offering is as enjoyable as her previous ones. What I particularly like so much about her work is that many of the characters are flawed in some way, either emotionally, spiritually, or physically. Using the idea of ex-military personnel who have been wounded in combat provides readers with insight into the difficulties many combat veterans find fitting back into the society they have been so bravely protecting. The trauma experienced by those children who are taken and trafficked for sex is deeply ingrained and, like Zane and Lex, many will struggle to open up to the ones they love for fear of rejection. This is adult romance. Although there are loving sexual scenes, these are always written beautifully and sensually without crossing the line. Because of her conversational, flowing writing style plus engaging characters, it is easy to read this book in one satisfying session, as I did. I am fascinated by Lex and his history so I was excited to read that he will be the principal character in the next work. Ferguson is truly a master in this genre and I highly recommend this book.
