review 1: Even though I have given this the same score as 'Dante's Girl', I have to admit that I didn't like this one as much. I still liked it, though. I just didn't think Mia was as good a heroine as Reece. She seemed a bit whiny (which, yes, she has lost her memory but sometimes it can be a bit much).I liked how this book has got some of the same themes as the last book - set in Paradise, a Caberran falling for someone from Kansas, etc. However, some of the annoying themes from the last book got carried over into this one, too. For example, whenever Mia thinks of something, she then goes 'So I tell them'. Which she does A LOT. Seriously. It happens at least once a chapter and there are a lot of chapters. The same thing goes for using the same word repeatedly and then say... moreing 'apparently, I use "word" a lot', or 'I've got to stop saying "word"'. Admittedly, Mia did stop using the 'word' thing about halfway through the book. But she kept going with the 'So I tell them' thing. Meh.Not much else to say about this book, as I like it and dislike it for most of the reasons I liked and disliked 'Dante's Girl' (and also, the reasons above) but I really hope that Gavin's book does not have him getting together with Elena. He can do so much better. And I really want to know when it's going to be released! It says it was supposed to be out in Spring but it's nearly Autumn!
review 2: I want to give a huge thank you to Kismet tours for allowing me to be on this tour. I have to say that Courtney Cole has captured my heart with her writing. She captures you right from the beginning and Mia's Heart is another story that had me on the edge of my seat. Her first book to the series Dante's Girl had me swooning like crazy so when Mia's Heart came out I just devoured it in one night and I could not put it down. This is one of those series where you can't get enough of the places and the characters you meet. The setting for Mia's Heart is in Valese Caberra Greece. Mia has been in a natural disaster that has left her with amnesia. She does not remember anyone or anything from her past life. So as her parents try to put the pieces back together for Mia she is slowly regaining who she was and she does not like who she was. She wants to start fresh and change the way she does things and the ways he treats people. She has a best friend Gavin who she shares everything with and he knows her like the back of his hand. Gavin tells her how she was and everything they did and she can not believe she never wanted to date him. Mia knows that is about to change because she is starting to have feelings for him and she knows that could be a bad thing because they are after all best friends.Then Mia meets the handsome American Quinn and she is torn because she is starting to like Quinn. He is quirky but there is something there. She likes how he gets her and they share some time together but what about Gavin? Where does that leave Gavin who knows her inside out? Can she chose who she will love or will both leave her? She has some decisions to make but she is torn because not only is her love life in crisis but she is still trying to figure who she is and who she wants to be. Come along and enjoy this heart felt book about a girl discovering who she was and learning how to be who she wants to be. less
