Title: Unforeseen Heartbeat
Series: Second Chances #2
Author: Maureen Mayer
Release Date: February 24, 2014
Used… Broken… Confused…
It only took one drunken mistake four years ago for Maddie Harrington to learn that when you fully give yourself over to a man, you should never expect anything in return. Since that night, her views on love have become distorted, believing men would only want her for the pleasure her body could bring them. She in turn finds herself hooking up with random guys, but never keeps them around long enough to see if there could possibly be something more.
That is…until Hunter Bryant enters the picture.
When the handsome pre-med student shows up in the right place at the right time, captivating her with his stormy gaze, she immediately pushes him away, thinking he’s no different than any other guy. The deeper Hunter delves into her life, trying to break through her iron-clad walls, the more she begins to question whether she is truly capable of opening her heart up to another man.
Maddie soon finds herself forced to make a difficult decision, one that will forever change both of their lives. Will she shut Hunter out of her life for good or will she finally open up her heart and allow herself the life she never dreamed she deserved?
To say I was excited to read this book was am understatement. I may or may not have stalked and hounded Maureen to get her to keep writing, but she loves me.
Unforeseen Heartbeat is the second book in the Second Chances series but before you panic it can be read as a stand alone. Book one followed the story of Liberty and Shayne, and Unforeseen Heartbeat is Maddie's story. Unforeseen Heartbeat picks up right where Relinquishing Liberty left off but don't freak out, you are not left in the dark, you find out all the details you need to know not to feel lost. However, I recommend reading Relinquishing Liberty as well, you get to meet Liberty and Shayne and trust me you want to know Shayne.
Maddie is bubbly, energetic, happy, strong and independent, but that is only on the outside. Inside she was broken, fragile and weak. She wants to be loved, but due to some horrible event in her past she believes she is not worthy of being loved. Instead she finds herself in an endless string of one night stands or no strings attached hook-ups. One night at a party her whole world changes when Hunter Bryant enters her life. Hunter is a strong, loving, protective, independent, and romantic. He gave Maddie time to adjust to having someone care about her, and when she pushes him away, he pushes back harder. Causing Maddie to second guess her view on love, and making her see that maybe she was worthy of being loved all along.
Unforeseen Heartbeat is a must read. Maureen writes in a way where you feel emotionally connected to the characters. Unforeseen Heartbeat is sweet, sexy, it has a who done it factor, it has humor and for the more sensitive people it will bring on tears.

Excerpt
Excerpt
My hands landed on the warm, soft skin at the swell of her hips where her shirt had ridden up. I didn’t know if I was afraid to move or if I just wasn’t ready to let her go, but we both remained frozen in place until she stumbled a bit, causing my hands to slide higher up along her ribs. When she finally caught her balance, my hands were just at the edge of her sports bra, and I could feel the weight of her breasts as they grazed against my thumbs. This was dangerous territory. I could feel myself quickly becoming aroused by the scorching heat of her delicate skin, and I knew Shayne Jr. was about to make an unwelcomed appearance. I had to think of something else and fast! Cold showers, kittens, little baby Jesus, grandma naked…yup that did it!
