I adored Hearts on Fire & I read this book way way past my bedtime.""The advance copy I read of this book is my first by this author, and this lady has some mad writing skills. Not only did she create a quaint, sweet, small town setting that anyone would love to visit, all of the characters are dynamic, complex, realistic people that I felt like I knew personally. There are some tough topics that she masterfully addresses with compassion, tenderness and stark reality so much so that I felt the emotions right along with the characters. I laughed. I cried. I felt frustrated, uncertain and hopeless, and then relieved, joyful and at peace.""This is the first book I've read by this author. I am just blown away.""Heartbreakingly Beautiful. This is the first book that I have read by Julia Gabriel and I can honestly say that it will stay with me for a while. I couldn't help but love Becca (how can you not!). She sees herself as a walking, talking, disaster. I also really liked Jack, the golden boy meant for greatness, who couldn't truly be himself.""This book is truly what a great love story should be and I shed a few tears reading it. The emotions that come out from these characters are what makes it so amazing."

"<strong>Sadness. Bleak sadness. </strong><br/><br/>Jack and Becca spend the entire book sad. Jack has 2 modes. Wallowing in self pity and ******* after Becca. It was infuriating trying to read this. It's so SLOW, but when anything remotely interesting happens, the author abruptly ends the chapter. I had to keep going back to see if I skipped a page. Then this author does what every other lazy author does. She drops a big bombshell on the characters and rushes to wrap it up without giving the proper to time to fully flesh out the issue. The fact that we don't get to see even a moment of them happy or get to experience them telling their daughter the truth? Just absolutely lazy and cheap. I will not be continuing this series."

"I really enjoyed reading Hearts on Fire, book 1 in the Hibiscus Harbor Series by Annie Carlisle. Kate and Hudson's love story had some twists in it along with baggage. Kate is know as the Bagel Lady in town and brings bagels and coffee to the local fire station where Hudson works. Hudson is also the perfect gentlemen and wants the kind of love story that his parents have. You will love this book as much as I have. I am looking forward to reading more in the series.<br/>I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily."
