About this listen
I lost her. No. I threw her away. She was my best friend. I was never supposed to fall in love with her. I was careless. She was heartbroken. I thought I was doing fine. But here she is, years later, forced to work with me, reminding me why I fell in love with her in the first place. And this time I'm going to do everything in my power to never let her go.

Story
He was my older brother's best friend. He was never supposed to be mine. I thought we would get it out of our systems and move on. One of us did. One of us left. Now he's back, looking at me like he wants to devour me. And all those feelings I'd turned into anger are brewing into something else, something that terrifies me. He broke my heart last time. This time he'll obliterate it.

Story
When my sister asked me to take a course for her while she went out of town for work, I reluctantly agreed. I wasn't expecting to step into a university auditorium filled with overactive libidos lusting after the professor. And I certainly wasn't expecting to become one of those women myself, but there's something about Lorenzo Costello that makes him irresistible. He's the kind of man mothers warn their daughters about - mysterious, gorgeous, experienced, wild - and for some crazy reason he wants me.

Story
Love and the right timing were two things I didn't believe in. Love is about walking to the edge of the cliff and taking the leap together. Timing was never on our side. My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend. My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her. My third was letting her go, because I had to. Because a love like this wasn't built to withstand the winds coming in our direction. Love and timing. I didn't believe in either. Then there was you....

Story
You’ve heard of these groups - the secretive ones that only the crème de la crème are invited into, the ones outsiders speculate about for centuries - I’m the second in my family invited to attend, but to them, I’m fresh meat. New blood. New money, too. They think they’ll elbow past me, that I’m here for their amusement, for them to walk all over, they’ll find out soon enough that I’m not.

They say when it rains, it pours, but this is some serious BS. It doesn’t help that Bennett was the man I had my last one night stand with. It definitely doesn’t help that he seems to want me just as much as I want him. The issue is, he won’t do anything about it, but then we’re forced to attend a tech conference in Vegas, and I think it may just be what I need to turn this thing around.

The list of things I hate is short. Not even my soon-to-be ex-husband is on that list. Nope. I save only the worst of the worst, the crème de la crème, the absolute I cannot even for this list: black coffee, rude people, and Nathaniel Bradley. Which is why when my father informs me that he’s making Nathaniel Bradley his new business partner, and in turn, my boss, I flip out. I go into this knowing I’ll hate every second in his presence. Except the longer he’s around, the more I find myself staring at his lips and remembering the one time they were on mine.

Princess Pilar is tired of playing by the rules. She’s sick of the spotlight and being seen as the uptight goody-too-shoes the media has cast her to be. She’s especially tired of the fact that her brothers are allowed to run off and do whatever they want while she sits inside watching the world pass her by. That’s why she decides that while her older brothers are off on their usual summer holidays, she’s going to quietly pack her things and travel to the one place her parents have always forbidden her to step foot on - Ibiza.

In the past, I've always been given everything I've wanted, but nothing that I truly needed. I've experienced a lot of things in my 25 years - everything except the one thing I want. It's the one thing that can't be bought. It can't even be taken; it has to be given. And nobody has ever given it to me - not really anyway. Not until him.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

JENSEEENNNNNNNN
This audiobook also contains the prequel novella.
I might love second chance romances, but there are some reasons for the MCs to be torn apart that I absolutely cannot stand. Claire Contreras is possibly the only author I would ever trust to write a second chance where one MC has a child with someone else. (They were on a break. So it might have been cheating by your definition.) My heart was ripped out, torn into pieces, stomped on, and somehow glued back together all by this book. Jensen and Mia are absolute perfection and deserve all the love and praise.
Narration: Vikas Adam embodies Jensen so well and was perfectly cast. Misty Stone does a good job, but is not a narrator I seek out.

I've read this book countless times and every time my emotions are tested, but hearing it on audio was like hearing it for the first time. The emotion was so raw! Oh and Vika does a perfect Jensen!

My favorite
I love Claire Contreras. She can do no wrong. Kaleidoscope Hearts was my first book of Claire’s. And I loved it. I did not think I would love Paper Hearts as much as Kaleidoscope Hearts. BUT I WAS WRONG. Paper Hearts is amazing, heartbreaking, swoon worthy, and just all in all awesome. Jensen...ah Jensen...I am in love. This is a must listen. The narrators are both fantastic. So worth the credit or the price of the book. I have both the paper versions and audible.

A must read for fans of second chance romance!!
Would you listen to Paper Hearts again? Why?
Absolutely! I love the narrators and I thought they did a fantastic job with this story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Paper Hearts?
Grand gestures!!!
What about Misty Stone and Vikas Adam ’s performance did you like?
I thought Misty was fabulous at conveying the spitfire that was Mia and Vikas was perfect as Jensen. Those Jensen Talks chapters were highly anticipated as the story progressed.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes - most definitely. It took me a few days because of work and life but I put aside the book I was reading so I could focus solely on this book.
Any additional comments?
If I were to give a star for every time that Jensen made me swoon, this would be a 10+ star book. Watching these two try again was equal parts entertaining & charming. I am smitten with this couple and I am sad my time with them has ended.
Mia was a frustrating character. Her hesitation to move forward, though not unfounded, was maddening especially when compared to the effort Jensen put forth to restore her faith in him. The history of her journey sans Jensen was definitely heartbreaking to recount and it was good to see her find some closure to that low point in her life.
Jensen most definitely owns my heart. I adored him and his column. Jensen Talks was a unique way to learn more about the man who owned Mia's heart. He was adorable as a father and put forth a valiant effort at winning back the love of his life. I lost count of the numerous heavy sighs and flutters he gave me throughout the book.
Paper Hearts is definitely a contender for a top read of 2016. Interestingly enough, Kaleidoscope Hearts was one of my top reads of 2015. For all the love I have for Oliver and Estelle, I think Mia and Jensen may have moved ahead of them in my all-time favorite couples list - and that is courtesy of the uber talented Claire Contreras. I’m looking forward to Vic’s story in Elastic Hearts, which is already queued up on my Audible app.

4.5 Stars A Sweet Heartwarming Second Chance Story
Paper Hearts by Claire Contreras (Audio Edition)
Narrated by Misty Stone and Vikas Adam
Series: Hearts #2
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ½ I loved the chemistry between Mia and Jensen and I could really feel how much he loved her. Some of the things he said to her just made me melt! I could tell Mia loved him a lot too, however she was very cautious with her heart and at a point in the story I was a bit disappointed that she was STILL acting like Jensen wasn't all in, which considering how much he's shown her, surprised me. In the end though it was a sweet and heartwarming story. I have not read this author before but I will be sure to check her out again.
Misty Stone’s narration was quite good. Vikas Adam sounded like he was trying to deepen his voice and I found it sounded odd,(almost “pretend scary monster” like) however he didn't have a lot of parts to read and I got used to it after a while. In the end I thought the narration overall was well done.

Achy feels!!
Any additional comments?
An emotional and beautiful second chance love story that had me choking back tears and rubbing at the ache in my chest! I have to admit that it took me quite awhile to forgive Jensen for what he did in the past but as the story progressed, I could see that he did truly love Mia. I liked that he never gave up when he was given a second chance and that he was actually always there all along (watching from afar) even when they weren't together anymore. The narrators did a great job especially in the break up scene - my heart ACHED from the words!! So much emotions in their voices !!
