Thoughts:
Rosie has had her heart broken both emotionally and literally!
She finds out that the heart she received in a transplant belonged to the wife
of Morgan Thorne, one of her favorite authors, and feels like this is some sort
of sign that they’re meant to be together. Rosie starts messaging back and
forth with Morgan and he seems perfect. However, some of the details of Morgan’s
wife’s death emerge that give Rosie pause, so she digs further.
I felt for Rosie so much, but I was also annoyed with her
several times. She feels everything so acutely and goes all in when she loves/crushes
on someone! She’s so determined to find love that she ignores the red flags. However,
things are not as they seem, so hold judgement. There were a couple of twists that
had me thinking: wait, did that just happen?! I had my suspicions here and
there and couple ended up being correct. I can’t believe the last scene. Girl,
after all of that, really? Don’t get me wrong, I was pleased with the final
outcome. I have hopes. If you read this story maybe we can discuss…
Parts of Cross My Heart were like watching a train
wreck and not being able to look away! It was a crazy, twisty mystery; one I
couldn’t put down!

Book Description:
She has his dead wife’s heart; the one she wants is his. The author of The Family Plot brings her signature prose to a twisty novel about a heart transplant patient who becomes romantically obsessed with her donor’s husband.
Rosie Lachlan wants nothing more than to find The One.
A year after she was dumped in her wedding dress, she’s working at her parents’ bridal salon, anxious for a happy ending that can’t come soon enough. After receiving a life-saving heart transplant, Rosie knows her health is precious and precarious. She suspects her heart donor is Daphne Thorne, the wife of local celebrity author Morgan Thorne, who she begins messaging via an anonymous service called DonorConnect, ostensibly to learn more about Daphne. But Rosie has a secret: She’s convinced that now that she has his wife’s heart, she and Morgan are meant to be together.
As she and Morgan correspond, the pretense of avoiding personal details soon disappears, even if Rosie’s keeping some cards close to her chest. But as she digs deeper into Morgan’s previous marriage, she discovers disturbing rumors about the man she’s falling for. Could Morgan have had something to do with his late wife’s death? And can Rosie’s heart sustain another break—or is she next?
