Still Beating

von Jennifer Hartmann

Format:Softcover

WARNING: This book contains subject matter that may be sensitive for some readers, including dark and triggering content. 18+ only. Please read responsibly.When Cora attends her sister’s birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn’t anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side.And she really doesn’t anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman’s basement.To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains.After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they’d end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.But Cora and Dean have no idea their abductor has a plan for them. A plan that will alter the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and love, and shackle them together with far more than just chains.REVIEWS:"This book will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and turning pages like mad crazy! I have never read another story that holds a candle to Cora and Dean's. The author of this book literally blew my mind. I fell in love with these characters and the horrific circumstances that they went through, brought me to tears, more than once. I truly feel that this book is going to sail to number one and could very well end up being a movie. I have read several books by Jennifer Hartmann and have loved everyone of them, but this book is the one that sets her apart from all other authors." - Vanessa, Goodreads reviewer"WOW. Jennifer Hartmann's emotional brand of writing leaves me breathless, every.stinking.time. This book is a roller coaster... you find yourself laughing at the banter and antics between the H and h, but then you're crying on the next page. I cried so many ugly tears during the reading of this book...prepare yourselves. One of the best I've read in a while." - E. R. Whyte, author of 'Reclaiming Heaven Series'"Intense, twisted, and stunning. Beautiful messages of love and hope shine through the darkness in Hartmann’s new novel. This story addresses some difficult issues, like PTSD and sexual violence, in a heartfelt and inspiring way. It was such an emotional rollercoaster for me: I laughed, I cried, and I sat on the edge of my seat, struggling to put the book down. The chemistry between Cora and Dean is hot and explosive and these characters really came to life for me. " - L. Starla, author of 'From Prying Eyes'"This book was equally devastating, soul crushing, hard to read at times, HOT, and beautifully crafted. Jennifer Hartmann writes words like pure poetry and knows exactly how to invest you into every scene. These characters are so well developed and their CHEMISTRY is out of this world! I couldn't put this book down. This is a new best selling author right here, just watch!" - Autumn, Goodreads reviewer"My heart was shattered a thousand times over when I read this. I cried ugly tears and reread parts to just numb and become unnumbed from my own inner disarray. Jennifer is so artful in her use of words that she can make you feel everything without going into explicit details. There were points that I found myself marveling at the complete lack of detail and the way I seemingly had ALL the detail in my mind as the words drifted through through my subconscious." - Charity, Goodreads reviewer"Jennifer has a very rare gift. It doesn't matter how dark the subject matter is, she has a way of drawing you in and making you feel every emotion that the characters are feeling. I didn't feel like I was reading a book. I was so immersed in the story and the characters, it felt more like I was sitting with two people who were recounting their experience to me. It's absolutely amazing." - Stephanie, Goodreads reviewer

Dieses Buch hat mich so viel fühlen lassen! Es ging so unter die Haut. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben was das Buch alles in mir ausgelöst hat. Diese schreibweise von Gefühlen und Situationen, einfach perfection. Wer dieses Buch nicht liest, verpasst was. Lebenshighlight ✨❤️‍🩹

Lisa Rezension von Lisa

Es war für mich eines dieser Bücher, die man kaum aus der Hand legen kann. Der Schreibstil ist unglaublich flüssig und durch die vergleichsweise geringe Seitenzahl fliegt man förmlich durch die Geschichte. Von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite hat mich das Buch gefesselt und ich wollte unbedingt wissen, wie es weitergeht. Dark Romance mit Enemies to Lovers Elementen. Allerdings empfand ich sowohl die düsteren Aspekte als auch die Enemies to Lovers Dynamik deutlich sanfter, als ich zunächst erwartet hatte. Gerade die Beziehung der beiden Hauptfiguren wirkte für mich nie wie eine klassische Feindschaft. Der Spice hat mir insgesamt gut gefallen. Er passt zur Geschichte und ist emotional geschrieben, sodass die Szenen nicht nur körperliche Anziehung vermitteln, sondern auch Gefühle transportieren. Für meinen persönlichen Geschmack hätte es zwar gerne etwas mehr davon geben dürfen, qualitativ haben mich die Szenen aber definitiv überzeugt. Insgesamt ist Still Beating ein fesselndes Buch, das durch seine emotionale Geschichte, den angenehmen Schreibstil und die authentischen Figuren punktet. Es gehört für mich zu den Romanen, die man in kürzester Zeit verschlingt und die einen auch nach dem Zuklappen noch eine Weile begleiten. Ein halber Stern Abzug, weil ich mir etwas mehr Spice und eine stärkere Ausarbeitung des Enemies to Lovers tropes gewünscht hätte. Ansonsten ist Still Beating eine emotionale, packende Geschichte, die von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite überzeugt und definitiv eine Leseempfehlung ist.
