Review: Relevant Heart (The Fearless Heart Book 3) Kindle Edition

5 Incredible Stars 

If you're a fan of the emotional depth and rich character development found in works by authors like Nicholas Sparks or Jojo Moyes, you're going to love this latest installment in The Fearless Heart series. Janice Jarrell has a knack for weaving together the lives of Colin, Josh, Nate, and David in a way that feels both intimate and epic.

This book, like the best of Sparks and Moyes, dives deep into the complexities of relationships. Nate’s big New York play opening brings out a whirlwind of emotions, much like the stirring events in Sparks’ "The Notebook" or Moyes’ "Me Before You." The way Jarrell handles the intricate feelings and dynamics among the four friends is both heart-wrenching and uplifting, reminiscent of these beloved authors' ability to make readers laugh, cry, and swoon.

Colin and Josh’s effort to create a program for veterans is so vividly described, it echoes the realistic and poignant style of Jodi Picoult. The detail and authenticity in Jarrell’s writing might make you believe these initiatives exist, much like Picoult’s talent for making complex social issues accessible and compelling.

When the story takes the friends to Ireland, you can feel the magic in the air, similar to how Maeve Binchy transports readers to Ireland with her descriptive and heartfelt storytelling. The romantic and emotional moments between Josh and Colin are beautifully crafted, much like Binchy’s tender and evocative scenes.

For those who appreciate the exploration of deep friendships and personal growth seen in works by Kristin Hannah, you’ll find a lot to love here. The bonds between Colin, Josh, Nate, and David are tested and strengthened in ways that feel real and meaningful, similar to Hannah's exploration of human relationships in "The Nightingale."

Even if you accidentally stumbled upon this book without reading the previous ones, it’s still a captivating read. But like any good series, starting from the beginning adds layers of understanding and appreciation for the characters’ journeys.

So, if you enjoy the heartfelt, emotionally rich storytelling of Sparks, Moyes, Picoult, Binchy, and Hannah, you’ll find Janice Jarrell’s latest book a worthy addition to your bookshelf.

This book is an absolute gem.

Ms Jarell has a genuine emotional connection to and admiration for her characters and their journeys. Touching and relevant. This commitment to her characters and their stories, infuse each scene with authenticity and emotion. Her ability to create vivid, lifelike moments speaks to the dedication to her craft. This passion for storytelling not only captivated me but also left me with a lasting impression and a strong desire to revisit the characters’ world time and again.
