Two Hearts’ Subversion is the story of Marc and Desiree, childhood friends thanks to his friendship with her brother Rafe, and a shared tragedy that bonds them in a way few people can understand. Tamara Ferguson tells a tale of blended families and all the drama and difficulties that go along with it. This isn’t just your average love story but a mystery woven into the lifelong bond between Marc and Desiree. The mystery comes through Desiree’s father’s company, with connections at every level of government, which is the first tentacle of intrigue, but the other comes from Marc’s large family, where someone is trying to wrest control over it for his or her own purposes.

I am a sucker for a romance book with a big family, particularly a lot of siblings who we get to know over the course of several books and Tamara Ferguson has given us that in Two Hearts’ Subversion. The Broussard clan is big, which also happens to make up an important part of Marc’s history, a particularly intriguing element of this story. The author does a good job of introducing the characters and giving the reader just enough information to make them real characters and not just a red herring. I really enjoyed that we experienced the course of Desiree and Marc’s friendship from kids to adults, showing their genuine friendship and trust in each other, as that becomes important later in the plot. Overall, this is an engaging story that held my attention until the end.

I really enjoyed Two Hearts’ Subversion. The emotional layers felt genuine and never overdone, and the pacing kept me fully engaged throughout the story.

The writing is smooth and expressive, with vivid scenes and heartfelt dialogue. The suspense element tied to the terrorism plot adds intrigue without overpowering the story's emotional core. What first drew me to the book was its cover.
