I absolutely loved this book and couldn't put it down. The perfect book to escape into. I highly recommend it. - United Indie Book Blog

Suffering from the sting of betrayal, twenty-eight-year-old Avery Johannas quits her job and moves hundreds of miles away to Ocean City, the beach town of her dreams. With the help of her zany roommate, Jodie, Avery finds a new career, home, and freedom. Throughout her self-exploration, she makes only one rule: She won’t give her heart to a man again. She’s living for herself this time.

But then she meets Jesse.

A tattoo shop owner, the green-eyed Jesse Pearce is wild with a touch of mystery. As Jesse and Avery explore Ocean City and their friendship, they’ll have a hard time drawing a line in the sand between their hearts.

When summer nights get a little more heated than either expected, they’ll have to ask themselves: Can they let go of their notions of love, or will their hearts be permanently inked by past pain?

About the Author

An English teacher, a romance author, and a fan of anything pink and/or glittery, Lindsay Detwiler is the English teacher cliche; she loves cats, reading, Shakespeare, and Poe. Lindsay's goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the "typical romance." With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as candid, poetic, and powerful. Inked Hearts, released in 2017 with Hot Tree Publishing, was named a Romance Times Top Pick. Additionally, Remember When, released in April of 2017, was named a Route One Reads Romance Pick by the Pennsylvania Center for the Book. Lindsay currently lives in her hometown of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, Marjorie, and Tyrion; and their Mastiff, Henry. In addition to being a huge bookworm, Lindsay's also a fan of cruelty-free makeup, coffee, chocolate, Netflix, and shopping.

Sweet, minimal angst, zero heat - as in squeaky clean - and told in single POV. Entertaining side characters too

Crazy Birds & Kite-Flying For The Perfect Romance

Reviewed in the United States on 17 March 2018

Verified Purchase

I previously reviewed Inked Hearts, the first book in Lindsay Detwiler’s Lines in the Sand series, and loved it. It was sweet and funny, but my absolutely favorite part of it was the secondary characters. And so, imagine my delight at being granted a book focusing on one of those secondary characters, Jodie Ellison. Wild Hearts is one of those minimal-drama novels that seems more realistic than most. It doesn’t take much effort to imagine the beautiful Ocean City, Maryland or the boardwalk or the really annoying parrot living next door. If you’re looking for chaos, fights, and misunderstandings you’ll probably want to look elsewhere for a read, but if you just want some genuine romance that will make you laugh and aww the entire time then you’ve picked up the right book.

Cowboy novels aren’t usually my go-to reads, but I was willing to give Levi Creed a chance to win my heart. And he did. He captured my attention from the first time he opened his mouth and introduced us to all that southern charm. I adored his light-hearted attitude towards Jodie’s furious confrontation, his penchant for using the word ‘reckon’, and the lovely descriptions of his ripped abs (please, keep those coming). He was the perfect fit for the over-thinking, slightly chaotic, horror-writing Jodie.

In Inked Hearts I got to know Jodie as the wild roommate of the more subdued Avery who loved to hit up clubs and date all sorts of interesting men and I’ll admit that I was expecting her to be like that in Wild Hearts, but instead we got a new version of Jodie: a stressed woman with a semi-short fuse and a deadline on the horizon. She’s a sarcastic spitfire with a hatred of birds (I can relate to that) and trying very, very hard to ignore her attraction for the hottie next door who never seems to wear a shirt. Jodie and Levi balanced each other out wonderfully.

Wild Hearts was beautifully written. I loved the individual growth of the characters, the sarcasm and wit, and the sexually charged kite-flying scene. I would have loved to watch this book as a movie, especially the scene where two gay men pretend to be someone’s dad to break up a party… and the seashell collecting. I can’t think of anything else I would want in a romance novel.

Very enjoyable read!

Lovely story!
Avery makes a fresh start in a new place after her divorce and says a man will never hurt her again the way her husband did.
Jesse owns a tattoo parlour, he's a nice guy, no great dramas, just a regular nice guy.
Avery and Jesse meet. So begins a lovely tale of getting to know someone and being friends before romance begins.
Of course there's a great friend, Jodie, who is a fabulous character and adds to the spice of this tale.
Very enjoyable read!

4.5*'s - Sweet, clean romance with real depth and growth for leads

Reviewed in the United States on 16 June 2020

Verified Purchase

4.5 *'s. I really enjoyed this. It's a sweet story about picking up the pieces of yourself and moving on. About finding out who you really are, what makes you tick as opposed to what others think you should be doing. As a numbers person myself, I could absolutely relate to the lead, who had both an analytical and a creative side to her makeup. I liked how the pain of lost dreams wasn't glossed over. This story is clean (no heated detailed sex scenes) but the chemistry is there and the sexual relationship does unfold. Told only from the voice of the female lead. Lindsay Detwiler's writing style is reminiscent of another author who writes about internal growth and romance- Mariana Zapata. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author's line in the sand series.
