I'll Love You Tomorrow (Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 3) by Julie Navickas

 

I'll Love You Tomorrow (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy, Book #3)I'll Love You Tomorrow by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This trilogy comes to an end featuring Mavis, Josh, Austin, Casey, Lauren, and Mitch. Lauren, Austin, and Josh are all siblings, with Josh and Austin being twins. They were born into a wealthy, well-to-do family. Mitch and Mavis are also siblings having grown up bouncing back and forth in various foster homes. Casey is Mavis's former room mate from her Chicago days.

This book focuses on the relationship of Lauren and Mitch. They've been married for 7 years but things aren't going so well for them as of late. Both strongly desire to have a child but things just aren't working out that way for them. Communication is a core issue that they face, or more like lack of communication.

Mavis and Josh recently married and have just learned that they are going to be parents. This puts even more added stress on Lauren and Mitch but it's not their siblings' fault. How will this ultimately affect their relationships?

I strongly recommend reading this series in order, however they can be read as standalones. Reading them in order will give you a better context on the relationships between all of these people and will make some of the dynamics much easier to understand. While this trilogy has come to an end, there is a teaser at the end of this book that another character is getting her own story. I look forward to reading that one!

I Love You Today (Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 2) by Julie Navickas

 

I Love You Today (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book #2)I Love You Today by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In book 2 of this trilogy, the story of Mavis, Josh, and Austin is continued. Casey is introduced very briefly in book one and this book focuses much more on her, along with the aforementioned.

Austin is a successful lawyer and he's just witnessed the demise of his "true love" when his twin brother Josh proposes to Mavis. When he goes to Chicago to help Mavis pack up her apartment, he meets Casey, Mavis's roommate. He's heard some about her but she's heard a lot about him. It's pure torture to Austin to help with this task but maybe Casey can make it more interesting.

When he returns home, Austin is called into the office of his law firm. He's being asked to head up the new Chicago location and by doing so, it could lead to him making partner in the firm. What better odds since he's really been missing Casey since leaving Chicago. Can this work out in his favor?

This was an enjoyable read for the most part. I do recommend reading this series in order to know the history in these characters, as it plays a large role in the overall story. I was getting a little tired of the pet names for the girls though. Duchess, Princess, and Peaches got to be super annoying afterwhile. I feel this took away from the overall story. The first couple of times it was endearing but then became overkill.

I Loved You Yesterday (Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 1) by Julie Navickas

 

I Loved You Yesterday (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy, Book #1)I Loved You Yesterday by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In book one of this trilogy, we are introduced to Mavis, Josh, and Austin as the main characters. Josh and Austin are twins from a fairly wealthy and well-known family. Mavis and her brother Mitch grew up bouncing from foster home to foster home.

Josh and Mavis were designed to be together from the first time they met. One day Josh wakes up to find Mavis is gone. He doesn't hear from her for over ten years. His brother Austin has heard from her though and he's known her the whole time.

This book involves a love triangle and secrets galore. Will the right guy win in the end? I'm still a bit conflicted as to how this one turned out. I'm not sure that the right guy did win but, since I've read the other books in the same time frame, I ultimately know it was the right guy.
