One mentally unstable woman dealing with rejection meets a man who is dealing with his own hurt and pain yet remains a gentleman to her despite her nastiness toward him and you have a "love" story. Throw in betrayal, infidelity, murder, a gold digger with a large dose of irrational behavior and you have the makings of "Shot through the heart". I can't say I didn't enjoy it, because I did. The heroine was not likable by any stretch of the imagination. She was not only hard to love but hard to tolerate. However, that is a testament to the author's writing abilities. She did an excellent job of presenting her in that light. She also wrote the Jeremiah character with the patience of Job and a perfect example of many say they want in a man. Honest, loyal and straightforward with his intentions and needs. The supporting characters made scenes with heroine bearable. I was pleasantly surprised with the last club scene. A very valuable lesson was learned by the patrons and those intimately involved with the quarreling duo. All that being said, I liked the book overall and it was well-written with no notable errors. Enjoy!

O my what a wonderful read this was. There were times I could've slapped Nicole but hey that's a woman who has truly been hurt and lacks confidence. I'm glad Jay came into her life even though he had his baggage he seem real. Read this book it is well worth it.

Jeremiah was so savage with his mouth, but he was a sweetie. Both characters were able to finally let go and find a love meant for them. I really wanna see what happens with Mia and Quniton in Balad of a bad bitch.

For the most part I enjoyed it. Every character in this book is so incredibly flawed, in the most realistic way possible. There were certain characters that gave me pause, and I would think, "Geez, I used to know someone like this."
Not a bad read in just 3 days.

Highly entertaining story. This is an author to look out for as she continues to develop her craft.

Read the book as a stand -a- lone, but want to find out more about the characters.

It's so easy to love every character. It shows how human we are. Healing takes time, and so does love. There's no denying that, as much as Nicole and Jeremiah got on my nerves, I loved them dearly.
