Jaded Hearts

5 Star review of Jaded Hearts (Loaded Replay #1) by Harper Sloan Where do I start? Harper Sloan had me engrossed from the first to the last page. I loved this book and what a great way to start off a new series. Since I heard about this book I have been looking forward to reading it. I was intrigued by Chance when he was first introduced in the Hope Town series as Cohen’s roommate and I was excited to see what story Ms. Sloan had in store for him; I wasn’t disappointed. Wrenlee (Wren) Davenport is the lead singer of one of the biggest bands around, Loaded Replay and is slowly but surely becoming more and more disillusioned with the life she is leading. Overcoming a difficult and hard childhood the 4 friends have created a successful career in the music business, but for Wren she is dissatisfied. When threats to Wren become more and more concerning, the band members (including her twin brother Wes) are determined to keep her safe and hire private bodyguards instead of using the ones that their record company supplies. This is where, Chance Nash comes in, he is a member of Corps Security and is hired to head the team to protect the band and to be Wren’s personal bodyguard. Chance fell for Wren 3 years before he met her after taking Dani to a concert when Cohen was overseas, there was just something about her that got to him, however when he begins his job he is determined to keep his feelings buried, but he didn’t count on the full force of hurricane Wren. From the moment Wren and Chance meet the sparks fly and their attraction sizzles. It wasn’t only the sexual tension and the chemistry between Wren and Chance that had me so riveted (and le t me say there is plenty of hot and heavy scenes) but their obvious camaraderie and banter towards each other too. These two were just made for each other. Jaded Hearts is about a family, not all related by blood, but family none the less. I loved how much they cared and supported each other; they reminded me of the Four Musketeers, one for all and all for one. Both Chance and Wren have baggage, can they work through their pasts and move along a path of happiness together? Can Chance keep Wren safe from the threats or will history repeat itself? You’ll just have to take a chance (pun intended) and read this book for yourself. There was a great deal of humour throughout this book between all the members of the band and I think that really made this a great read. I cannot wait to read the other band members stories and I was excited to learn that Jamison’s story is the next book in the series.
