Fristly let me tell you this is the second book in a series BUT book one does NOT need to be read. Book one is Liberty & Shayne's story.

 

Moving on. I loved Unforeseen Heartbeat, much more than I liked the first book. I liked Maddie in book two you really got into her mind and saw the issues she had been dealing with since that awful night when she was sixteen. Throughtout Unforeseen Heartbeat Maddie would talk about how she would or could never love anyone. She never believed in falling in love. Of she loved her Brother, family & friends but she never had given her heart to someone. 

Broken since she had her abortion when she was just sixeen. Maddie is just a shell of the how a girl should be at her age. She spends her time drinking, sleeping and bed hopping. Going from one night stand to one night stand. This is all Maddie is convinced she's good enough for. 

After one fateful night when a one night stand goes horribly wrong and the one person who has been on Maddie's shit list is the one to save her..With no memories from the night before, Maddie wakes up in a strange bed with a strange guy. Score. Well thats what Maddie thinks until she realises where she is and that she is actually fully clothed. That never happened before. Maddie thinks she knows where she is but why would she be here? She hated the owner of the house. Shayne.

Enter Hunter. Hunter is hot, any female would be crazy to think he wasn't. After Maddie gives him one hell of a tongue lashing, and kicks him out he leaves the people closest to her to explain the events from the nights before. Once Maddie realises Hunter was just being thoughtful and caring can she keep her hands off him? Has Maddie got any restraint when it comes to hot guys? When Maddie finally realises who saved her last night, she realises Shayne deserves her forgivness. They were both young and drunk & she never actually told him he got her pregnant so how can she blame him? It may take time but Maddie realises it wasn't all Shayne's fault and he has changed. This is a big step for Maddie.

Maddie grows up alot throughtout this book and Hunter is mostly to thank for that. Hunter teaches Maddie that she is worthy of love and not just worth a quickie in any convinient location. When Maddie seems to develop a stalker it's Hunter who is there to care for and protect her. But how long will he hang around?

Hunter & Maddie did not get to where they are easily. Maddie has never trust a man apart from Brett but Hunter creeps his way into her heart and she can't seem to shift him. With the approval from her big brother Maddie & Hunter make things offical and become Boyfriend & Girlfriend. Now they are offical will this keep her crazy stalker away? Is the stalker as obvious as we all think? Will Hunter stand by his girl when things get a little rough and Maddie finds out she is reliving the past?

I really enjoyed this book. Maddie is broken and Hunter is her glue. A breath of fresh airfor Maddie that's what Hunter is, but can Maddie get past the fact that she doesn't believe in love? Or will this ruin the relationship they have built?

Maddie has some cracking friends who stand by her side when things get a little tough. LIberty obviously but more so Robbie and Justin. Robbie is Maddie's new roommate since Liberty moved out and Justin is Robbie's boyfried. OMG these two made me cry with laughter. The dick in a box scene just topped it off, I was hwoling with laughter. Maddie see's these guys and their junk more than she see's her own. Basically she has nudist housemates. Be prepared to laugh when these are around.

Maureen Mayer did a fabulous job on her second book and I for one cannot wait for Brett's story. Unforeseen Heartbeat will make you laugh & cry. It is full of angst, drama, love, fights, shocking revelations and friendships being rebuilt. Maddie grew up alot and it was for the best. I realy connected with these characters. If your looking for an easy read with all the good stuff then this right here is the book you should read.
