ARC review for "Your Heart Still Beats For Me" by Cori Zahara
The emotional rollercoaster I went on with Feebee was so unexpected, I felt her every emotion and my heart broke for her so many times. This character deserves the world at her feet for everything she went through. And then there is Mercer...I'm not sure if I can ever fully forgive him but he was definitely working for that forgiveness.

I liked Trix but hated that "all men make mistakes" attitude- its dark romance so obviously we forgive ALMOST everything, but still
Ethan won me over pretty easily

Cold Eyes got what he deserved

I read Making The King by B. Lybaek and Sarah JD. I lovedddd reading about Cara and Rocco’s story! Arranged marriage and both troubled people. Their fire is absolutely electric! I liked seeing the characters before we saw them in Tempted and Wanted. Very solid part to this anthology.

This review is for YOUR HEART STILL BEATS FOR ME by Cori Zahara! OMG, what a fantastic read! At first, I didn't remember that this was a novella and was sad when I got to the end! I wanted more! I do hope that Cori makes this into a full-length novel.

The story was a quick read but I'm so impressed that Cori was able to inject so much emotion and character development in such a short book! I felt like I knew the characters for a long time. I love that Feebee and Mercer were flawed but I grew to love the both of them and loved them together.

I don't want to spoil the book, but I highly recommend! Definitely go in "blind" so you get the full experience. Cori is such a brilliant storyteller! I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did.

YOUR HEART STILL BEATS FOR ME is part of the Corrupt Intentions: A Limited Edition Collection of Bad Boy Romance Anthology and will be available on all major marketplaces soon!

Review for Your Heart Still beats for me by Cori Zahara
What in the rollercoaster
I hope that Feebee and Mercer get their own story outside the anthology.

This is for your heart still beats for me, this book pulled me in right from the start loved it

Making the King by B. Lybaek and Sarah JD- this is the prequel to the Cruz Kings MC series. Cara and Rocco’s story is where it all began. This novella was amazing to read and see where the Cruz Kings started. If you haven't started this series yet this is a good time to start.

* Read Your Heart Still Beats For Me by Cori Zahara

I enjoyed this story! It was dark and twisted, and as much as I wanted to dislike some characters, I just didn’t.
The writing was great, I was pulled in from page one, and I liked that I thought the story was going in one direction but was proven wrong.
This was the first story I’d read from this author and I can’t wait to read more.

Your Heart Still Beats for Me review!

This story took me on such a wild ride. I loved every minute of it. I have so much respect for Cori and the depth she gave Feebee and Mercer in such a short story.

I love when two “broken” people fall together. It always pulls at my heart. Feebee and Mercer are no exception. They just simply….fall together after so much hurt and it was just so lovely to see. I really have so many more thoughts about this book, but I do try to keep my reviews spoiler free so I can’t really do that here!

I loved all the elements of this book—Cori grabs you right from the start and you’re instantly immersed in Feebee’s broken world. The plot twists, the heartache, the deceit, the LOVE. It’s such a great story and I really hope Cori expands on it one day.

Please check the TWs! It’s not an overly dark story but there are themes that could be triggering to some.

Maaannnn was this book all kinds of good from start to finish this book didn't stop. These 2 ladies are amazing separately, but when they cook up a lil MC series together they are phenomenal and you better hold on for the wildest fucking ride their going to take you on. This book is how The Cruz King's started with Cara and Rocco King.

“Open your legs, Killer. Let me see how wet you are.”
 
An excellent prequel to the Cruz King’s world!
 
Rocco and Cara’s story was bittersweet, seeing how their relationship formed, all while knowing where they ended up in the Cruz King series. 
 
I loved Cara's character - how she was tough and broken yet able to maintain her strength even while softening to Rocco's care. Rocco was a closet sweetheart. I cannot imagine the hell he must have seen spanning the end of this story to the beginning of the Cruz Kings series to make him become the hard-ass MC president. Here, he's the fluffy anti-hero who will do anything for his woman.
 
Medium burn and spicy. There are some very sweet and sexy first-time scenes, plus more racy scenes later.
 
I know this will be the only story we get of this duo, but I would love to see more!
