About this ebook

The USA TODAY bestselling author of the Cricket Creek series returns with this third title in her fun and flirty Heartthrob series, following the quiet songwriter of the Heart brothers as he meets a feisty young adult author who may just be his match.

Meet the Heart Brothers: formerly the members of the cult-phenomenon boy band Heartbeat, now they’re all grown up and back together for one last reunion tour. Trends may come and go, but a group of sexy brothers with a penchant for song and dance never goes out of style...

Jimmy Heart, affectionately known as the quiet one of the group, was never completely comfortable on stage. He prefers writing songs on his balcony in his high-rise condo overlooking the sea. But when a noisy neighbor moves in next door, Jimmy’s muse goes on strike, leaving him no other choice but to confront Maggie Murphy and her little dog, too.

But the sassy author of empowering novels for teen girls refuses to pipe down, creating an ongoing battle along with an underlying sizzling attraction they both can’t deny. And when Jimmy learns that feisty Maggie has gone through emotional turmoil as a teen, he’s touched by her bravery and he vows to show her the depth of his unconditional love.

With her “rich and unique voice” (Romance Junkies), LuAnn McLane crafts another sweet and spirited novel that is perfect for fans of Anna Todd and Katy Evans.

Ratings and reviews

How do two people who have experienced extreme loss in their lives, overcome the pain and the adversity from the past? Luann McLane shows this in Shape of My Heart. Maggie Murphy is an author that writes books about giving girls and young women strength and knowledge in becoming their best selves. She was bullied when she was younger, and then the ugly duckling became a beautiful swan, and she never really trusted guys because she wanted to be valued for more than her looks. She has moved to Florida, because it was always her dream to move to Florida. But she misses her mother and grandmother, who have been the base for her foundation since her father left them when she was younger. Jimmy Heart is a member of a boy band with his brothers. The group is called Heartbeat. Growing up as part of a boy band, he didn’t have the normal growing pains of growing up, dating, and flirting. So he feels a little out of his depths when dealing with women in general. Trixie, the puppy brings Maggie and Jimmy together. They are neighbors, and Trixie’s barking keeps Jimmy from being able to work on the song that he has been struggling with for the past month. Maggie knows who Jimmy is, but asks as though she doesn’t. She doesn’t want to fangirl all over Jimmy, but he and Heartbeat helped her when she was a young girl, just trying to make it through the days of meanness growing up. This book was so cute. I really loved how their love story developed. The supporting characters were great, stealing the show a bit. Five stars **Review by Nikki, Late Night Reviewer for Up All Night w/ Books**
