BLURB:

The fall was brutal.

Healing isn’t a solo ascent, and love has a way of sending reinforcements.

From a fiercely loyal climbing partner to a steadfast mother figure, from a determined daycare owner to a climbing community they never expected, Dan and Sejin find themselves held by something rare—found family that believes in them. In their love. In their future.

The fall is where the real story begins.

REVIEW:

Omg I am truly overwhelmed by the sheer poetry of this book. What an epic saga, so masterfully written, I am at a loss for how to express the multitudes this book navigates after the first book ended on a devastating cliffhanger.

The agony that Sejin exudes in the first part is heart wrenching- his fear completely palpable for his love and their life. Dan is … Dan even down he is never out ever focused. How beautifully Leta Blake allows us to see the intimacy of a fledgeling relationship digging deep roots through the immense challenges of a physical, mental and financial nature. The found family in the story is just unbelievably strong. How absolutely unwavering in their support though I think for Sejin more than Dan it was tough to take that help. I loved how Sejin and his dad’s relationship is explored. How Dan’s healing physically mentally is captured. I especially loved how Sejin finally grounded in himself.

Lowell and Rye were a bit heartbreaking and Peggy Jo and Buck brought a smile to my face. I’m gals Leenie grew up and adore Jeremiah.

I am blown away by how the author brings climbing as a sport to life I feel like reading a million books on it (I’m not doing it I too am petrified of exposure) and how the unbending aspect of nature came to life here, I felt transported to Yosemite. I am also touched by beautifully Dan’s autism is depicted.

Ofcourse I would be remiss if I did not mention how dirty filthy hot this book is.. the sex scenes are 🔥🔥 in the best way, perfectly woven into the story… expect a smidge of K1nk, owning, f1sting etc.

I can’t put it better than the author: Free Heart is a heartfelt story about resilience, rediscovery, and the power of leaning on those who love you, even when the climb seems impossible.

Read this book, this duet.
