SYNOPSIS


Mariposa Sota knows all too well the pain of dreams deferred. Whether dealing with the disappointment of being abandoned by her daughter's father, working tirelessly at a dead-end job only to lose it, or watching helplessly as those she loves the most fall victim to the same streets they are all trying to escape, one thing is clear to Mariposa: Whenever she puts her all into something heartbreak is sure to follow. For Caesar Simpson life had always been lived behind the eightball. The firstborn child to an absentee father and drug-addicted mother, Caesar is the only real parent his younger siblings knew. With the love of his homies and an unbridled love for 'the life' Caesar maintained despite hardship. After a five year prison term he's back in Denver and is intent on living right. When Caesar runs into Mariposa, the beautiful woman that had somehow blossomed from the silly little girl that use to follow him around neighborhood, he knew he had found the only good thing that life would ever show him. Problem is, she is his best homies little cousin which makes her off-limits. Despite his efforts, Caesar can't help loving her. For Mariposa the return of her first crush, a man she has loved all her life, makes her more vulnerable than ever. They say hearts never lie, but people do. Will heartbreak, pain and death keep them apart or will their feelings for one another rise above all else?





 



REVIEWS


Love the mix of sensuality and grime in this book. Patricia Pickett combined all the elements of a successful story and left a great impression on me. I look forward to reading more of her work in the very near future.
Hearts Never Lie gets four outta five dollars from Da ReVew.



Hearts Never Lie is a story of 2 lost souls who despite all the pain and disappointment that life has given find love only to almost lose it again. An enjoyable read with touching characters.

"Hearts Never Lie" by Patricia Green-eyed Rican Pickett is a modern day romance that manages to pull readers in from the very start. While I loved the characters, the close knit love of the Soto family and the allegiances shared by the friends, at times the story was somewhat puzzling and the editing needs some work. I can't wait to read what Patricia has in store for readers next!

This book is a real page turner from the very beginning. The dialogue is so real and involving you feel as though you are in the room with the characters who are depicted vividly. The story is gripping with drama and suspense throughout. I read it from cover to cover in one day, because I just couldn't put it down! I'm anxiously awaiting Patricia's next book, I'm sure it'll be as good as her first.
