Wild Hearted edition by Lea Bronsen Romance eBooks

"Wild Hearted" is a short, intense train ride of a novel that takes you effortlessly into it's story of a seemingly unredeemable inner-city crime lord and the woman he falls in love with. The pace is fast, and the characters colorful. More so than other romance fiction, "Wild Hearted" has a very dark, noir quality -- of gritty crime, tough inner-city neighborhoods, hurt people and broken dreams.....it does not soft-pedal this atmosphere to let the protagonists (Tomor and Luz) fall in love. In fact, the ending is not the usual "and then everything was all flowers and roses", but leaves the reader in a dark place, without diminishing the character's complexity or challenges.

The ending is open and ambiguous enough that it is not hard to imagine a sequel or two, continuing the twists and turns of this story.

It is easy to imagine "Wild Hearted" filmed in black and white, with long deep shadows and darkened streets....it's a very bracing change from the typical character romance. Author Lea Bronsen is very talented, and has a keen eye for detail. I look forward to reading more of her fiction.

Wild Hearted edition by Lea Bronsen Romance eBooks Reviews

I'm finding this to be a difficult review to write, because for me, the story was both beautiful and disturbing at the same time.

At the core is a beautiful love story between a rough and obnoxious gang leader, Tomor, and Luz, a self-conscious, naive girl from the other side of town. It was hard for me to understand their initial infatuation with each other, but it was there, and it began the torturous love story between the two.

I didn't really care for the character Luz and found myself wanting to scream, "What the hell are you doing?" at her. But I think the bottom line was that she had a good heart, and she did not hesitate to follow it.

Tomor, although despicable, was a great character. The author did a wonderful job with his characterization and growth throughout the novel. It was very clear what made him tick, how he came to be the way he was, and what he was all about. It was so easy to get inside his head and his world. So much so that I swear I even knew what he smelled like as I read.

I went into this read knowing that it was about a gang leader. I fully expected to be immersed into that world drugs, hookers, sex, violence and criminal activity. But this book has so much more that I didn't anticipate. And that's where the disturbing part comes in. There were scenes that depicted everything from self-mutilation to child molestation, and brutal rape to perverse and sick ideas about getting off. I'm not saying these things made this a bad book, just that these things were very hard for me personally to read.

Now having said that, I at no point even considered putting this book away. I wanted to get through to the end. I wanted to find out what happened with Tomor and Luz. Not only that, but in my opinion the writing was excellent.

In conclusion, I liked it. It's definitely worth a read if you're okay with reading brutally blunt and highly adult themes.
This book was packed with lots of action and suspense. Tomor and Luz had a special connection. Larsen ended up being a trusted friend to both of them.
Maybe the book just needed to be longer and more fleshed-out. The idea was good, but the characters were so one-dimensional. The heroine is in her 20s and prefers to be alone, but the only thing making her unhappy is the state of the world in general, no personal experiences. People are mistreated, like the city's attempt to clear out the homeless, but it's not like SHE is being mistreated. The hero similarly prefers to be alone, but he has personal experiences to back it up. The problem with him is, he's 45 with the mind of a 12 year old boy. He literally only thinks about warriors and fantasizing about being Native Americans all day. I thought he was maybe 16 years old at the most until he stated his age. He seems a little.... intellectually disabled, I guess. Their limited interaction together is stuff like him telling her, "Help me take off my boots," that's pretty much it.
Wonderful story about how a bad boy finds love and begins to heal. Tumor and Luz captured my heart and I was sad to say goodbye in the end. Lea Bronsen's story is moving and a definite winner. It's a must read.
My very favorite books are ones with flawed characters searching for redemption, and Ms. Bronsen's Wild Hearted fits the bill nicely. It's a gritty tale about two people who haven't often made the "right" decisions in their lives, but fate brings them together and offers them both a second chance. Loved it! I'll be on the lookout for more works by this author.
This was a different type of book for me. It was interesting, kept my attention, good story line, but the ending in my opinion was chopped off. Maybe it was done purposely too many strings hangings I guess you can make the ending of your own imagination. There can be many a different endings.
Tumor's and Luz's journey triggers a gambit of emotions, a testament to the author's talent. Overall, this is a beautifully written, emotionally compelling and at times shocking tale of love and life with a gritty edge.
Can't wait to see more from Lea Bronsen!
