Purple Hearts: A Novel | Tess Wakefield
4 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
When a soldier with a troubled past and a struggling songwriter agree to a marriage of convenience for the military benefits, neither expects much after saying I do. Then tragedy strikes, and the line between whats real and whats pretend begins to blur in this smart and surprising romance perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks and Jojo Moyes. Cassie Salazar and Luke Morrow couldnt be more different. Sharp-witted Cassie works nights at a bar in Austin, Texas to make ends meet while pursuing her dream of becoming a singer/songwriter. Luke is an Army trainee, about to ship out for duty, who finds comfort in the unswerving discipline of service. But a chance encounter at Cassies bar changes the course of both their lives. Cassie is drowning in medical bills after being diagnosed with diabetes. When she runs into her old friend Frankie, now enlisted in the Army, she proposes a deal: shell marry him in exchange for better medical insurance and they can split the increased paycheck that comes with having a family. When Frankie declines, his attractive but frustratingly intense friend Luke volunteers to marry Cassie instead. What she doesnt know is that he has desperate reasons of his own to get married. In this unforgettable love story, Cassie and Luke must set aside their differences to make it look like a real marriage...unless, somewhere along the way, it becomes one...

The movie did it better. A short and easy read but the romance felt off and overall the book had a few issues. The FMC Cassie wasn't very likeable with her cheating and hypocrisy. The ending was sweet but left kind of open and I'm glad the movie cleared things up.
3/5 🌟

Purple Hearts has to be one of my favourite MOVIES. Hate to say I was a little disappointed with this book only because my expectations were way up. Still an amazing read.

3.5⭐️

I loved this story about a soldier with a troubled past and an aspiring musician who find themselves involved in a marriage of convenience due to financial reasons. Of course they don't expect to have real feelings for one another and I adored their unlikely love story. One of my favorite books of the year.
