About this eBook

It wouldn’t be fair to drag her into my life when my future is so uncertain. But I can’t resist her.

Wyatt

My name is Wyatt Blake. I'm a cardiothoracic surgeon in Phoenix. When I was 17, I had a heart transplant that saved my life. That's not something I tell just anyone, because I hate being defined by the illness that ruled the first half of my life. The average life expectancy for a transplant patient is 11 years. I'm 34, and in case math isn't your thing, that puts me about six years past my expiration date when I spend a weekend at my buddy Jason's wedding in Miami and meet the sexiest bridesmaid in the history of sexy bridesmaids.

Dee Giordino. She's sweet, kind, loving and drop-dead gorgeous. I love every minute I spend with her.

We had so much fun together at the wedding, and when I invited her back to my room after, we had the best night I've ever had with anyone. And now I can't stop thinking about her or texting her or wishing our one-night stand could somehow be more, even though "more" isn't in my vocabulary.

When Jason tells me there's an opening in my specialty at his hospital, I come running back to Miami to interview for the job. And to see Dee again, even though I know that's completely unfair to her. In light of my situation, I've become the king of the one-night stand. It wouldn't be fair to drag someone else into my reality when my future is so uncertain.

But Dee, she's different from the beginning, and maybe, just maybe, I might have to break all my rules for her... Fair or not.

Ratings and reviews

How Much I Love is a beautiful story, full of feels. That really resonated with me because I have a long term illness and so there was a lot in Wyatt's background that I could relate to, and at times I found it quite difficult to read. But I also found it extremely uplifting and heartfelt, especially with the way Dee helped Wyatt to realise he needed to live life to the fullest and not regret a single moment. Which is definitely something I've come to appreciate, especially after the last eighteen months. And with such a wonderful group of characters and a delightful romance I was utterly captivated throughout. Furthermore, I really liked the pacing of the story and the multiple points of view, especially as they included Dee's ex Marcus, who is struggling with an addiction he kept hidden for many years. Would highly recommend.

Amazing! A roller-coaster of emotions.

Sounds like a book i would like to read.
