"Rafael. Ellie Sinclair is a hopeless romantic who writes love songs. I'm a struggling workaholic who could inspire a hundred breakup albums. On paper, we have nothing in common except for my son. For eight months, I avoid her until our summer trip. Fourteen days. Two islands. And one nanny I shouldn't be attracted to. Spending time with Ellie is expected, but enjoying her company? That isn't part of our travel plans. After my divorce, I swore to protect my heart at all costs. Even if it means breaking hers in the process. Ellie. What's worse than working for a grumpy single dad? Admitting that I once had a secret crush on him in high school. Thankfully, Rafael Lopez and I have changed since we graduated from Wisteria High. He is a billionaire with a company to run and a child to take care of. I'm an unemployed songwriter he hired to watch his son and teach music. We coexist without any issues until a vacation changes everything. Lines blur and old feelings for Rafael return with a vengeance as I face a new dilemma. Being his son's nanny is one thing, but wishing for more? Sounds like a heartbreak song waiting to be written"--

Product Description Breslin—I was in love with Asher Holden the moment I saw him...and I knew nothing would ever be the same. Then he hurt me. He wrecked me. He ruined me. I spent three years putting myself together—fixing what he broke. I never thought I'd see him again after that day. I was counting on it. Little did I know—life had other plans...and things were going to become a lot more complicated. Asher—I finally know who I am. I own it, I embrace it...I'm no longer afraid. I live my life with no regrets now, because I've learned my lesson—the hard way. I thought I had it all figured out. But then my past collides with my present...and things become complicated. Turns out I don't really know myself after all. Landon— My life was all mapped out. I knew exactly what direction I was heading in—I didn't have time for any roadblocks or obstacles. Then I meet her. And him. Now, my heart is split right down the middle. She controls the rhythm. He controls the melody. Complicated doesn't even begin to cover it...and there's only one way this can end.

Review "I'm pretty sure Ashley Jade has put herself on the map with this one. Before Complicated Hearts, I'm not sure if I knew what New Adult really was. This book is unique, hot, captivating, and most importantly f*cking complicated. Ashley Jade has not only written a kickass book, she has given the world a new New Adult genre because I'm not sure I can go back to the New Adult I'm used to after reading this." - Jackie, *Fire and Ice Book Reviews"Unexpected, emotional, and effing brilliant! Complicated Hearts is mind blowing and unlike any other book I've read." Tijuana, TJ Loves Books Blog"Complicated is Ashley Jade's take on New Adult done the right way. It is an alluring drama filled with angst and emotions that completely touch you in the most raw way possible. it struck me to the core. It fascinated me. It shocked me. It changed me. I still need to fully process my feelings but Complicated Hearts was by far my favourite of this year." Tanaka, The Romantic Angel Blog "Wow. I thought Ashley was the 'Queen of Dark Romance Angst' with this book she has cemented her place in New Adult.'- Michelle B, A Woman & Her Books."Holy mother of book angst. What did I just read?"

This page turning, scorching read left me with a pounding heart and desperate to see where this will lead." - Lg Reads, Words We love"She has a way of masterfully throwing you for a loop. It sinks into you deep. I'm totally talking about the mind and heart. Giving each of her characters their own mind and personality as you turn each page you peel off more of their layers. Giving you something raw, gritty and genuine. This story was supernova hot" - Jess~Two Darlin' Dolls & a Book Review's"There is so much heart, soul, angst and tension that it will leave you with the rawest emotions you could ever feel at the end a book. I highly encourage anyone and everyone to read this."- Kara D "Despite the topic, colors, storyline and characters that were very much different from her previous work, the truth is: It's STILL Ashley Jade. It's her making me discover Asher, Landon, and Beslin in the way she does best: making ME feel the depth of the characters, their struggles, their pain, sorrow, and past! It's her drawing an intensive love story filled with passion, longing, lust and heat. It's her showing the human being in all its glory, wearing their scars, their burden but also their light."- MM Laberge, All About Books."Emotional. Hot. Unique. New Adult done in a way I never expected. Such an amazing read!"- Mells_View's"Jump in and fal
