A Steel Heart by Amie Knight

Publishing Date: November 9th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance


Five seconds.
A deafening blast. Pain. Silence.
That was all it took for an IED to end my life as I knew it. The man I was shattered in a hard wave of sound and debris that rained down on me like death itself.
And six months later, after waking up to an inescapable hell, I found myself wishing that death had found me.
Until her.
Miranda Jacobs swept into my life like a cool breeze on a smoldering day.
With her smart mouth and her ridiculous jokes, she brought me back to life one minute at a time.
Turned out time wasn’t on our side.
Five seconds.
Screams. Twisted metal. Silence.
And I’d lost it all again—only this time, I had no one to blame but myself.

Excerpt:



“What are you doing today?” my friend Ainsley asked through the cell phone that was pressed to my ear with my shoulder. My hands were busy holding open a piece of the blinds so I could look out the front window.

I gave her a distracted answer. “You know, the usual. Edits and whatnot.” I tilted my head to the side to get a better view out the window and almost dropped the phone. Holy hotness.

“Why do you sound like that?”

“Like what?”

“Distracted.” Ainsley sucked in a breath. “Oh my God. It’s nine a.m. Are you neighbor stalking again?”

I snapped the blinds closed and backed away from the window. “No. Of course not. Why would I do that?”

“You told me you weren’t going to do that anymore.”

I thought we’d already established I was a liar.

I stepped back toward the window because I couldn’t help myself, obviously a glutton for freaking punishment. But this was the only time of day I saw him besides when he left in his big, black truck at three in the afternoon on the dot, and I didn’t want to miss a thing. I cradled the phone with my shoulder again, pushed the blinds apart with my hands, and pressed my face to the windowpane like the creepy stalker I was. And there he was. Every gorgeous inch of him.

He walked toward my building from across the busy downtown street like a tall glass of water on a hot day. All swagger and supreme male beauty. The kind of beauty that made a girl’s breath catch and heart pitter-patter. He pushed his dark hair off his tan forehead and the big muscles in his arms bunched.

Goosebumps broke out on my skin and I may have whispered, “Christ on a cracker.” I didn’t know his name, but I knew his schedule like the back of my hand. That wasn’t weird at all.

“You’re a terrible liar.” She giggled. “What’s he wearing today?”

I barely heard Ainsley. Every morning when I watched this man walk down the street and toward our building, it was like just he and I existed. Slow motion. Our own sexy theme music. Nameless, ridiculously hot man and Miranda. He didn’t know it, but there was a world of our own and it was the absolute best part of my day.

“Sunglasses. White, tight, sleeveless T-shirt. Black running pants with three white stripes down the sides. Black tennis shoes,” I said breathlessly into the phone. I left out all the good bits. Like the scowl he was wearing. It was perpetual. I’d never seen the man smile in the month he’d been living next door to me and for some reason that made me all the hotter for him. He owned that scowl. He freaking rocked it. His jaw was square and clean-shaven. His mouth flat. He was a giant of a man. Well over six feet. His chest was wide, his arms thick and imposing. Dog tags jangled from a silver necklace around his neck, letting me know he was military of some sort. I’d never seen his eyes, but I knew they were going to be stunning. Everything about him was. Not even the slight limp in his gait as he made his way across the street took away from his godlike beauty. I could’ve eaten him with a spoon.

Final Score - 5 Stars!

In A Steel Heart, we meet Miranda - the best friend of the characters from See Through Heart. She's lives her life just the way she wants it - even if that includes a bit of being a peeping Tom to the dreamy neighbor next door. 

And that dreamy neighbor is Holden Steel - an ex-Army Ranger who is struggling, both physically and emotionally, to come to terms with the tragic losses he experience on his last deployment. He's also desperately trying to adjust to civilian life. 

I love the dueling dynamic personalities between these two. Holden is angry, frustrated, and tormented by grief. Miranda is perky, cheerful, optimistic and can hold her own when put up against Holden's gruffness. Miranda sort of forces her way into Holden's life as she senses that Holden needs to be healed and brought back to life - and she's just the person to do so. 

Filled with snark, laughter, tears, and some of the most fantastic banter, A Steel Heart is sure to STEAL YOUR HEART - see what I did there? *wink* Their mutual attraction sizzles on every page and every moment they are in each other's presence, you can't help but wonder - is it going to go down? And when?! They flirt, fight and tease, and bicker and all the while, their emotional connection to each other grows. It's a beautiful thing to see and read.

This is a beautifully unfolding love story. This book is a follow up from See Through Heart, though it can easily be a standalone piece. It's realistic, charming, comical and I felt each characters emotion on every page I read. This is definitely not one to be missed! I loved this book and was completely enthralled from the very beginning – to it's inevitable end. I just couldn’t put the book down.
