Wow. Just wow! How’s that for a review? Author Tamara Ferguson has done an absolutely wonderful job in creating characters that her readers will relate to, care about and continue to think of long after the novella is done, and if that isn’t the hallmark of a great author, I don’t know what is—
5★—Tracy Slowiak for Readers’ Favorite
Two Hearts Surrendered by Tamara Ferguson was an instant hit with me. I’m a sucker for a good military romance and this one topped the charts. Luke and Kelly shared a bond and strength that allowed them to be a couple that I would love to read more about. A great military drama/romance that makes you want more—
5★—Rabia Tanveer for Readers’ Favorite
Tamara Ferguson's Two Hearts Surrendered is well-written and engaging. Luke and Kelly are compelling characters whom the reader can't help but cheer for when they meet up and hope that the two, who are so obviously in love, will eventually find a way to make a life together. Her plot is compelling and real, especially those parts concerning the care and rehabilitation of wounded veterans, and her romantic passages are sensitive, caring and tasteful. I enjoyed reading Two Hearts Surrendered, and I highly recommend it—

My favorite story was “Two Hearts Surrendered.”
When Air Force pilot Luke Bryant was 13, he saved the life of six-year-old Kelly Callahan. While home on leave 14 years later, he attends a wedding and runs into a now 20-year-old Kelly. After only hours to get to know each other, his leave is over.They stay in contact promising themselves to each other when suddenly he is sent on a secret mission. After she doesn’t hear from him for months, she learns he was critically hurt and refuses to see her. The magic of this story is how he comes to terms with his injuries so he can share his life with Kelly—

Two Hearts Surrendered was an awesome novella! I had some personal reasons for reading this one; one because I'm from Wisconsin and the other because I am an amputee. I won't give anything away, but suffice it to say that the road for Kelly and Luke is long and painful. Can she be strong when he needs it and can he be strong when she needs it? The answer is found between the pages of a very well written story. I was pleased to see the amputee storyline was well done, empathetic and well researched, which often isn't the case in many of the books I've read. This one story in the box set not to miss! (And was excited to see the shout out to Rice Lake!)—

Two Surrendered Hearts by Tamara Ferguson was emotional, a story of true love meant to be, in this case it started as kids. It shows how you have to sometimes deal with hard things in life in order to get your happily ever after—
Amazon, Goodreads, B&N reviewer
Two Hearts Surrendered was one of my favorite stories but it truly tugs at the heart. Having been abused by a step parent at an early age, Luke Bryant never felt valued or comfortable turning to others for help. He becomes an honorary member of the Callahan family before he joins the air force. Fourteen years pass before he tells the girl of his dreams how he feels. Three months later, life changes for all. Love needs magic—
Goodreads Reviewer
All weddings are magical; some just have some real magic added. In Magical Weddings the couples are all finding their happily ever after. I love when the hero and heroine have the moment when they know they can't live without each other. Can a wounded soldier learn to deal with his injuries and claim the girl he has loved nearly all his life? Will their one night of magic be enough for Luke to finally surrender his heart to Kelly?—

Two Hearts Unspoken
Tamara Ferguson’s contemporary military romance novella, Two Hearts Unspoken, is a moving and beautifully written story about a romance between a wounded veteran and the mother of an autistic son, who have both moved to Crystal Rock for healing and a fresh start. I enjoyed seeing how the two of them felt that instant attraction despite the misgivings and insecurities each of them had, and loved seeing how their relationship grew. While this novella is categorized as a romance, it deals with two important and serious issues, namely the rehabilitation of veterans who bear both physical and mental scars from their tours of duty, and the lack of sufficient vocational opportunities for young people with autism, who all too often are shunted away into institutions instead of being surrounded by family. Two Hearts Unspoken is well-plotted and fits marvelously within the author's Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Series. I had a grand time reading Two Hearts Unspoken and most highly recommend it—
5 ★—Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite
I really enjoyed reading Two Hearts Unspoken. It is an easygoing romance that leaves you with a smile. Ferguson did a great job talking about autism and wounded warriors. She touched on the struggles of what it is like having and dealing with a severely autistic child. Elizabeth was an awesome mom. I wish that everyone could be as understanding and accepting as Zach was. I absolutely loved the character of Zach. In my eyes he was a true hero. I liked that he had low self-esteem due to his injuries because it made him seem more real to me. I wish that there were more books out there touching on these topics. Overall, I thought this was a great story. Ferguson's characters are loveable. All of them have personalities that cannot be contained to just this one story so I am glad that Ferguson continues their stories in other books—
5★--Jessyca Garcia for Readers' Favorite
Two Hearts Unspoken is a touching, heartwarming love story about acceptance and overcoming one's fears. Tamara Ferguson does a really stellar job of creating two characters with their own internal problems which prevent them from believing in the possibility of love and future happiness. Their instant connection and attraction to one another comes across the pages beautifully, and I found myself completely enamored with their characters and their relationship. I enjoyed the descriptions of the scenery and the setting and location were truly fabulous. As a whole, the book is entertaining and truly touching. A quick read that gives a very satisfying HEA—

Both Melinda and Steve will remain in the hearts of readers for a long, long time. The hope and the eagerness to connect with one another make this love story palpable and real. It is well written and all characters are well-sketched, which makes it a compelling and fast paced love story to enchant readers. The descriptions are detailed and vivid, and make the scenes, the characters, and their emotions come alive. The open ending of the story will make readers look forward to the next volume to know more about the romance between Steve and Melinda-
5★—Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite
The author's characters are well-drawn and believable, and watching as these two grieving souls finally allow themselves to consider a future is heartwarming. I especially enjoyed their outing to the beach at Dragonfly Pointe with young Ben, a disabled boy who was learning to adapt to using his new prosthetics. Two Hearts Undone is a sweet romance and is suitable for young as well as new adults. It's highly recommended –
5★—Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite
Two Hearts Undone is romance at its best. Tamara Ferguson has a deft hand when it comes to writing romance. She chooses her words and scenes carefully so that the reader never forgets that romance doesn't always come easy in the real world. Sometimes it may need a little help from a magical setting, a good friend, or an innocent child. What I liked most about Two Hearts Undone was the sensitivity and care with which Tamara Ferguson crafted each scene and interaction as she guided Mel and Steve towards a very satisfying conclusion. Two Hearts Undone is an excellent read, especially if you need to renew your faith in romance –

PS~Amazon Reviewer
Tamara Ferguson’s military fiction novel, Two Hearts' Christmas Wish: Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance, Book 4, follows the reunion of Jason and Kat in that magical town of Crystal Rock. I’m a big fan of Crystal Rock in general, and Dragonfly Pointe in particular, and loved having the opportunity to be there during a very special Christmas. Ferguson’s emphasis in this story, as with the other stories in her series, is on returning veterans, especially wounded warriors. Each of her stories is inspiring and helps make it certain that the service and sacrifices of these servicemen and women are not forgotten, if only by her readers. I empathized with the young Jason who had found Kat entirely too attractive for her young age and jail bait status, and loved seeing the parallels between that long-remembered week and their reunion during the Christmas festivities.
Ferguson’s plot is first-rate, and her characters soon felt like old friends one would want to spend more time with. Two Hearts' Christmas Wish: Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance, Book 4 is most highly recommended-
5★Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite
This wonderfully complex tale of romance about two people, whose lives are pulled in different directions, only to be reunited at a distant intersection, is well-written and pieced together in a way that will leave you begging for more. Tamara Ferguson’s ability to convey the upheaval of emotions, pulling Kat from one reality to the other, is pure magic, creating a realistic combination of treasured memories of the past with optimistic expectations of the future, while forgetting about the unwanted regrets of the present. Jealousies take hold amongst self-doubt and uncertainty, due to the events which have taken place in their fifteen years apart, yet their craving, love and desire for one another does not end. A blend of romance, charity, compassion towards animals and more is what kept my own desire going to read to the very end, and I was shocked by the dramatic conclusion. I very much enjoyed Tamara Ferguson’s incredible love story, Two Hearts’ Christmas Wish, and plan to seek out the other books in the series. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all readers who enjoy love, drama, action and comedy in this feel-good romance adventure-

Prologue
Dragonfly Pointe, Wisconsin
2002
As he dismounted from his bike, a blood curdling scream sounded out from somewhere nearby.
Josh Turner yanked the keys from the ignition of his Harley, stuffing them quickly into the pocket of his jeans as he rushed across the Dragonfly Pointe Beach scoping out the area.
When the woman’s cries continued echoing through the air, Josh’s expression turned grim following the path through the woods. He was here to meet Zeke and Rex, and knowing exactly what those two scumbags were capable of, he had his suspicions about what he’d discover when he finally found them.
He eventually came upon them in the cave situated at the base of Crystal Rock.
“Get your hands off her, you fuckin’ idiots,” Josh screamed, approaching the woman who was being held against her will.
It was even worse than he’d thought, moving closer and checking her out. Her jacket was open wide, the zipper ripped off as well as half of the sweater she was wearing underneath.
Her screams had stopped, but when she collapsed onto the ground, she was staring at Josh with eyes filled with fear.
