From the Author

None of my novels have been like Walking Heartbreak.
It assaulted me in the car one day, then fogged up my mind on a beach walk that was supposed to be all about my husband and the doggies. For weeks, it made my legs jump with impatience under my day job work desk, to the point of having my good friend and co-worker say, "Please, can you stop?!"

It took six months before my other books were done and I could finally write the first words. I'm an author, but to describe the relief I felt when that first chapter had been written is impossible.

If I were to point out my style in this novel as well as in most of my others, I'd say it has flash-fiction-style, at times poetic descriptions; I want to throw the reader into the action as quickly as possible; it's character-driven, as in--the plot and the idea for my books are there before I start, but I let my characters lead me from there. They commonly change factors in my stories and even throw wrenches into main plots and endings.
I can't live without humor, so even in a book like Walking Heartbreak, there will be moments where--if we share a sense of humor--you'll be laughing too.

Here's to hoping that I've made Bo, Jude, and Nadia's story justice. I hope you smile. Cry. And I hope the final sensation it leaves you with is one of fulfillment.

For some, love lurks, waiting for that single woman who can ignite a man's love muscle. And when that beautiful person enters his dressing room, love strikes hard.

Emotional overload!! My heart is filled with so much love!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

There's two things Sunniva Dee knows how to do. It's to convey emotion and create compelling characters.
Walking Heartbreak was one powerful emotion after another. Dee has a gift when it comes to words. She made me experience so much from just a sentence, sometimes even few words would do me in. I couldn't wait to read the next sentence and be blown away. At times it felt like my chest was being ripped apart and it felt damn good too!

Then there was the characters. I felt for them and my heart broke for them. Nadia, Jude and Bo were so interesting and had so many layers that I couldn't wait to dive in and figure out what made them tick. One would think that because Nadia was married, that her husband automatically was the bad guy since she started seeing Bo. But the answer was no! There's so much more to a Sunniva Dee story. All three characters were strong and beautiful people with a good heart. I truly loved them all and the story they each had to tell.

It was an emotional and mesmerizing story about love. Nadia and Bo's instantly connection was written exquisitely. I loved how they truly saw each other. Right into one another's soul. It was understated yet a very powerful scene to me. Their growing relationship was filled with so much emotion and tension because of Nadia's relationship with Jude. He was such a huge part of Nadia's life and was the one who saved her. Nadia and Jude's relationship then marriage was a heartwarming/breaking story. I enjoyed every moment and felt it was handled to perfection. It was an equally important story as her relationship with Bo since Jude was what made Nadia into the woman she was when Bo met her.
Yes, this was a story about love but definitely also about loss, sacrifice, change and acceptance. Nadia was so lucky to meet Bo in the dressing room because he was the one who made Nadia accept her losses. She on the other hand made Bo realize that he was capable of change. He could and would love again. They both started out as Walking Heartbreaks but ended with mended hearts filled with love.

3.5 Stars for Walking Heartbreak

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2016

3.5 Stars

Walking Heartbreak is one wild and emotional ride!

Nadia is dealing with a difficult past, and doesn't really want to move forward, but with the help of her best friend Zoe, and the interesting and intriguing rocker Bo she starts to come out of her shell and live a little.

When Nadia and Bo meet, you can tell there is definite chemistry between them, but it takes a while for things to progress between them. She's guarded, married, and you can tell she's dealing with something, but it takes the majority of this book to figure it out. Bo is the strong and silent type, but he's attracted and intrigued by Nadia, but he knows it will never be more, as he feels incapable of loving anyone. Together they figure out their own way, and slowly Nadia's truth comes out.

This book had me guessing throughout the majority of the book as to what was going on with Jude (Nadia's husband). I couldn't figure it out, and then I thought I had it, but wasn't sure, so to say I was surprised when the truth is finally told was an understatement. My heart broke for Nadia and everything she has been through already in her young life.

Bo and Nadia's story isn't easy at times, and yes, it was confusing at times as well with the going back and forth between present and past, but I really was happy that the author gave us a dual point of view, so we could see what both Bo and Nadia were experiencing.

Walking Heartbreak is the perfect title for this emotional, suspenseful, and full of romance book. My heart broke for Nadia, and then was so full of hope and love for how things ended up for her. I absolutely adored Bo's character, but I had a hard time liking Nadia for the majority of this book. It appears I may be the odd one out as I've seen a ton of five star reviews for this book. I did enjoy it, but to me, I felt as if it was missing something to make this story pop!

Good writing, okay story

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020

I decided to read this due to the good reviews saying things like "it's not what you expect!" and "I never saw it coming!" I liked the characters but I the plot gave me pause and made me sigh a lot.

I really cared for Bo and Nadia. They were likeable characters with a story to tell. Plus Bo is smokin' hot when he performs, especially in the radio station.

I wasn't quite sold on the story itself. I knew what was happening from the start with Jude. Those people who said "oh I never expected that" in the reviews must not read much because it was obvious. Granted, the twist as to why surprised me a bit, but the end result was inevitable. And for Nadia's friends and family to let it go on for so long and just ignore it without trying to get her help was really frustrating to me through the whole story.

I get that the story is about a married woman meeting a rock star and having an affair with him (kinda expected that one), but there is also an affair during the affair and the characters easily jump right into unprotected sex. Heads-up, fellow readers.

Jude also seriously frustrates me because I have the same problem that he does, and he is just stupid about it and recklessly put himself in trouble all the freakin' time. He knows better and chooses to be that way. I don't feel bad for him. I kind of wish I could slap him, honestly.

Like I said, I liked the character building but I'm not a fan of this storyline. I hope the other books have a better plot because I do like the author's style otherwise. This plot just was not my cup of tea.

What a roller coaster ride

Reviewed in Canada on March 10, 2016

Wow what a roller coaster ride that was. Nadia Who gets not talked into but almost forced to go to this concert by her best friend Zoe. Where she meets Bo The guitarist who is sinfully sexy not a man of many words likes to express himself through his music.. And this is where things take off there's a connection between Nadia and Bo something she hasn't felt for very long time and the same goes for him. But this isn't your typical love story where they meet sparks fly and they have a happily ever after. No there's walls tears,fear, guilt,passion, need.. It seemed every page returned they seem to be fighting for Each other fighting for something but it wasn't going to be smooth sailing there was always a bump in the road a wall to climb a door to open..
I love how I connected with the characters felt the frustration the pain the love the sparks the fear, and I also liked how the characters from the previous books had showed up in the story it all seems to connect.
I will not give away any of the storyline or the book if I can help it. But I do want to say when you start reading this don't jump to conclusions because things aren't what they seem and you need to follow your own gut your own heart while you read this, just like Bo and Nadia did.
I definitely recommend this was a great read
