Synopsis:
Sixteen years is a long time to wait for your true love to reappear, and, anyway, Nicki Johnson couldn’t wait for the impossible to happen. Hard life lessons have taught her that fairy tales are children’s stories, and fate is cruel. Burying her hopes, she’s spent the last sixteen years focused and driven toward her career, and it’s landed her with a job at the White House with a gem of a boyfriend. But when her high school love, Adam Kincaid, walks into the White House as a BBC reporter, Nicki’s world is thrown into turmoil as she relives their past. Adam has come back for her, but has he arrived too late?
My review:
Disclosure of the Heart is the second book in Mary Whitney’s Beside Your Heart Series and picks up sixteen years after the first book, Beside Your Heart. Disclosure of the Heart was a great “new” beginning for Nicki and Adam and I was really happy with where their story picked up and is headed.
After trying, somewhat unsuccessfully, to put her first true love Adam Kincaid out of her head, Nicki Johnson is completely thrown off balance when she sees that Adam will be working at the White House with her. How could this possibly be happening? She has a dream job, a sexy and devoted boyfriend and things are going pretty well for her. Although, if she’s being honest with herself, she’s realizes she’s totally full of it. The minute she sees Adam, Nicki knows she’s lost to him and the entire 16 years of distance they’ve shared disappears as if they had never been apart. But Nicki can’t let go of all that she has now, in the present, for the love she had so many years ago in the past. Besides, Adam probably doesn’t even think of her that way anymore…..could he? Working with Adam is a recipe for emotional disaster, and it may be more than Nicki can endure.
This is a beautiful story about the undying connection of that first true love. I thought Nicki did a fantastic job of not just jumping right back into things with Adam and wasn’t wiling to let her guard down and risk everything she’s worked for since he’s been gone. She can’t forget the hurt and pain of that broken heart from sixteen years ago, and honestly I don’t blame her one bit. She puts up a good fight, and in the end I would have done exactly what she did….nope, my lips are sealed! No spoilers from me. Adam really had his work cut out for him in this book and realized early on that he was going to have to fight to get Nicki back. He’s got sixteen long years to make up for and many mistakes to try and erase. Reading Nick and Adam’s journey was truly enjoyable and I was so happy with the way things worked out for them in this book. It was a new beginning for them and although some spots got messy with their careers and such, it truly did work out for the best.
Thank you, Mary, for a great read and I am looking forward to Adam’s story!
