“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.” ― William Styron, Conversations with William Styron

My Heart for Yours - Perry / Campbell





A bargain, a trade, a deal to be struck.

A kiss for a kiss.
Your shirt for mine.
Break my heart, I’ll break yours.

Their disastrous split was no different. Tobin’s spent the last year pretending Delia never existed, and Delia’s been in D.C., pretending to be anything but the country girl that she is.

When tragedy brings her back to town, Tobin and Delia realize that time apart hasn't healed either one of them. But staying away from each other is harder than they imagined, especially in small town Louisiana, and old feelings are quickly brought back to the surface.

In the mess they’ve created, is there anything to be salvaged of a love that they both thought would be forever?

This was a heartbreaking story about love and loss.  It’s about being able to be open and honest with yourself and others.  It’s about being able to stand up for yourself and do what you think is right. 

This book does a lot of flipping back and forth between the past and the present, not necessary by chapters as in other books, but when the story dictated it. 

There were some tough topics covered in this book and I thought the authors did it with a seriousness without being overly dramatic.  I enjoyed the book.  I don’t think it will make my read over and over list, but I’m happy to have read it.
