BLURB.
Being a Westwood isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Sure, Ivy loves her family, their business, and knowing she’s got a secure future. But there’s a downside, too.
Love.
Ivy’s convinced she’ll never have the happy ending her three older brothers have found. But she’s determined to put herself out there anyway.
Marco Kingston doesn’t have a care in the world. He loves his life, his job, and his family. He even loves his best friend’s family, the family he works for.
Despite his closeness to the Westwood family, Marco’s never considered the possibility of something more meaningful with Ivy.
But when a horrifying event leaves Ivy abandoning her search for love, Marco steps up in ways neither of them anticipated.
And Ivy starts to believe that maybe there’s hope for her, after all.

MY REVIEW.
4.5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cute Westwood Slow Burn.
Once again, A.K. Evans delivers with Lonely Heart, the fourth book in The Westwoods series. This slow-burn romance pulls you in and doesn’t let go. The story follows Ivy Westwood, the little sister who’s been watching her brothers find love and is now ready for her own shot at it. She’s been trying out new activities and hobbies to meet people, hoping to find a good man. But after a traumatic event one night, the only person who knows the full truth is Marco, her brother’s best friend and the lead maintenance man on the property for years.
Ivy and Marco have known each other since childhood, but they’ve always just been friends. When Marco finds Ivy in a vulnerable state, his protective instincts kick in, and Ivy is more than happy to let him help. I really liked both characters right away. Ivy had a bit of a “woe is me” vibe at first, but it was easy to shake off as her connection with Marco deepened.
Though somewhat predictable, the book is well-written, and it was great to revisit the previous Westwoods characters as the story unfolded. It looks like Liam’s story is up next, and I’m excited to see where it goes!

AUTHOR BIO.
A.K. EVANS is a contemporary romance author of over forty published novels. While she enjoys writing a good romantic suspense novel, Andrea’s favorite books to write have been her extreme sports romances. That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, can’t get enough of extreme sports.
Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!
When Andrea isn’t writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.
