One story deals with friendship evolving into love. Elements of situations the characters find themselves in are real. The erotica is part of the story, but it is not the story. That being said, I still did enjoy the stories themselves. If that appeals to you, you will enjoy the book. I will not comment on those aspects of the book. However, having received the book, I did decide to read it. However, each section of the book focuses on the love story of one character.Ī Secure Heart falls into the 'adult' fiction genre, a fact I did not realize when I requested the review copy.

The relationships continue from one story to the next.

The characters in the different stories do interrelate. Face it, Gentle Readers: Charity Parkerson rocks!Ī Secure Heart is a collection of stories centered around the men of a security service company. If you enjoy your romance well-plotted, well-characterised, steamy but heart-entangling if you love good writing, a sense of humour, an author who knows her stuff and knows her readers, RUN, DO NOT STEP, DO NOT WALK, DO NOT WAIT to your nearest available book outlet and GRAB THIS BOOK (and if you haven’t already, get her “Society of Sinners” series too). Each one is a gem-but if I had to choose a personal favourite, it would be the first and the fourth, which really tugged my own heartstrings. “A Secure Heart” (yes, the title does have resonance in each of the four stories, Gentle Reader) is woven from four divergent but linked stories.

Charity is hilarious! Also touching, heartwarming, special, enjoyable, and A DON’T MISS EVER AUTHOR! Maybe it’s not etiquette to laugh out loud at a romance-but I can’t help myself. That subtle humour that makes me chuckle at the same time I’m smiling over the characters those delicate brush strokes painting in the protagonists and the secondaries that homespun wisdom (feeling beautiful improves one’s perspective and beams through her or his life) all this clues me as to what special author I’m reading. So I’m enormously pleased to have he r request a review of “A Secure Heart.” Parkerson’s “Society of Sinners,” and I was floored! If I could have awarded 12 or 13 stars instead of 5, I would have. I was first introduced to Charity Parkerson’s novels when I went hunting in February 2012 for unread Werewolf & Shapeshifter books, for a group challenge on that enormously creative site, Goodreads.
