Summer Reading List: Armored Hearts

Armored Hearts by Melissa Turner Lee is a little bit of fantasy and a lot of romance. Before I give you my opinion of this book I want to give you a brief summary of the book.

When a crippled young lord rescues a girl falling from a tree, it reveals a secret about himself and his mother’s side of the family that could put him at the center of a war with beings he thought only existed in fairy tales.

Tristan Gareth Smyth lived his entire life stuck at home at Waverly Park and left behind while his Grandfather makes trips to London, all because of his blasted wheelchair.

Then an American heiress falls in his lap, literally, and he must find a way to keep her at a distance to protect not only his secret, but everyone around him from an assassin sent to kill him.

First, let me say I love that the main character of this book has a disability, being confined to a wheelchair. This is normally not a choice that authors make. Gareth has had to live with his disability his whole life and that makes him a very bitter person. But it is only when he stops thinking about himself that he learns that he has other abilities that he did not even existed in himself. I love how this character grows and he allowed himself to been seen by others that he sees in everyday life. I have to admit I did not like his character when I first met him because he seemed like a selfish spoiled boy of privilege but as he learns he has a secret weapon he realizes that walking is way overrated and that it is better to do something others can not do. He discovers a skill that makes him even more unique from those around him and he then sets out to make a difference in the community that he lives and he becomes it biggest protector.

I will admit that at first this book was a little hard to follow and I found myself asking the question when is this going to get better ? And it did but not for a little while. If you are looking for a book that is a little fantasy and a pure romance than this is the book for you.
