Kate had a boyfriend for two long years and the relationship was growing steadily, but to nowhere. A chance job interview lands Kate to the workplace where she meets a Casanova who leads a double life. But fate draws them together in a sort of karmic connection and their lives get intertwined.
Pais pens a good romantic story in Matters of the Heart. I have read work from this author before, and I did like it. The characters were sweet and a little dynamic. I personally didn't feel the chemistry between Kate and anyone, but the story is a good read. Kate is looking for something new, and her new job may just land her in the right direction. Kate has a good backstory, and is looking forward. It's a read that is different from Pais's other stories that I read, but this author can write. I have many more of this author's work to read, and I can't wait. Matters of the Heart is a recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading more work by this author.
This novella is quick, sweet romance. Kate was with her boyfriend for two years in a dead end relationship. A chance sighting at a job interview places Kate at her dream job and in the presence of her future. She meets Ernst who is seemingly living a double life. Fate draws them together for a HEA. The story was told from a third party point of view. It was very descriptive and the plot was clear and easy to follow. While you knew the plot and where it was going, at times the wording was very stilted, which could lead to some confusion when reading. This also made it difficult for me to connect with the characters and truly invest in the story.
Kate Swift had beauty and brains. Always in the company of her book, nothing else could sway her attention.
She soon starts a new job, where she meets a new colleague named Ernst, who seems to have taken her attention and seems to affect in a way she’s never felt before. She quickly became consumed with thoughts of him, wondering such things as how he got the name Ernst and whether or not he had a cat.
Kate always believed that things happened for a reason. Maybe there was a reason Ernst came into her life.
Story was simple and the writing was decent. It seemed kind of slow to me, but, overall, it’s an okay read.
