An Imperfect Heart (The Heart Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 578 ratings

The heart is exquisite.

You’ll never hear anyone wax poetic over an organ quite like they do the heart.

When you’re lost in the world? Follow your heart.

When your love for someone is unwavering, unparalleled and unprecedented? You give them your heart.

As a lead pediatric cardiac surgeon, I knew better than anyone that the heart is equally as powerful as it is delicate.

The heart giveth just as easily as it taketh away.

And until the day Kelly Potter darkened my doorway that was all just part of the job.

She rolled in like a slow evening storm, fierce and beautiful, fighting for the life of her unborn child.

It should have been business as usual.

I was a doctor.

Her child the patient.

But Kelly was more.

She was the one who got away.

I wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.

It didn’t matter what the rules were.

For once, I was listening to my heart.

    Amie Knight has simply blown me away with every single one of her books. Her writing style is sharp, witty, vividly detailed and rich in emotion. She creates characters that are endearing and relatable, and her heart-tugging stories are poignant, moving and passionate. They’re exactly the kind that I just sink into and get lost in.

    An Imperfect Heart is a beautiful second chance romance. Anthony and Kelly met in a flurry of attraction, connection and passion – at what was, unfortunately, the wrong time in their lives. Through a series of dual point-of-view flashbacks, Knight gives readers their youthful magic, bit by bit, letting them see how they met, how they connected and how they parted. I felt every bit of their bond through those glimpses of their past, and the history of this couple’s relationship unfolds brilliantly through them.

    I don’t know how Knight makes it through the writing of her novels, each one is packed with such intense emotions, but she successfully lays it all out for her readers to experience in painstaking detail. Just when it threatens to be too much, she cracks the tension with a dose of well-timed humor. Despite everything weighing so heavily on Kelly, she managed to hang on to her sense of humor.  As a mother, Kelly was a very relatable character, and I absolutely felt her desperation and fear, and when she swallowed her pride and approached Anthony all those years later, she definitely earned my respect and empathy. He didn’t make her work very hard, though. Now a successful pediatric heart surgeon, he was loyal, honest, caring and thoughtful, but this man struggled. He was not only dealing with the professional implications of a relationship with Kelly, but he was also dealing with his own demons as well as his growing feelings for her and her baby.

    I don’t want to give too much away in this review, but right from the start, Knight drew me into this touching, tender story with a dual pronged plot that managed to be both gut-wrenching and full of hope. A slow burn romance built upon a solid foundation of friendship, I rooted for Anthony and Kelly every step of the way as they sifted through the regrets of their past and faced the uncertainty of the future.

    An Imperfect Heart was a truly memorable love story, something Knight is now known for, and one that will stay with me for a long time to come. Five smooches from me for An Imperfect Heart by Amie Knight.

    I'm not a YA fan so I am glad that this series did not focus on just the characters as hormonal teenagers. Been there, done that in real life. I don't need to read about it. All three books have dealt with real adult issues and heartache. Kelly and Anthony's were no different. Kelly learns that a mother's love knows no bounds and she'd do anything to get her baby help even if it means seeing someone that threw her away years ago. We eventually learn why he did that and why he works so hard to prove to Kelly that he's the right man for her. I really enjoyed the story and how the author blends the other characters from the series in each one.

    This book is a keeper. I read it through UK but I will buy the entire series…it’s that good! I had never read a book from AK until this series and I’ve been thoroughly impressed! I thought the second book was 5⭐️ good but it doesn’t touch this book…so dang good! I love, love, love this couple/team. I love, love, love Lucy, she made my heart sore with her love for her son and Kelly. Please give us her HEA story…I know, I asked for Will’s story too in book 2 but they should have HEA’s for GP or general principle. 😉 Anyway, if you haven’t read a book from AK please take a chance and purchase this series, you will not be disappointed! I’m going to 1-click now…oh, HAPPY 2023!

    Add Another 5 stars for this Author. This was the last book for me to read by this author, and I am seriously so freaking bummed out. Every single book is a so more than 5 stars worthy read. I get emotional invested and this one was a double whammy which was all about the heart. Kelly Potter is a gem this Woman is hit with an unexpected pregnancy, and just when she is getting okay with a baby on the way she gets hit with more devastating news. She pulls up her maternity pants and becomes a Momma she asks for help from the one person that she doesn't want too see. She had the Momma thing down before she even knew it.
    I did not want this book to end, I finished in one night, and had tears in my eyes multiply times it was so beautiful, and ugh I will always remember these characters. I am so Team Hope.

    Anthony (Doc) and Kelly had one night together 10 years ago. Never in a million years did Kelly think she would ever see or need him again. But he has become a doctor, a pediatric cardiac surgeon, and that is what her unborn baby is going to need to save her life. I loved this story and how Anthony and Kelly are brought back together and how that night 10 years ago had meant so much to each of them. But it had ended bad and now Anthony knew he needed to do more than fix a babies heart to make Kelly see how much he loves her. I liked the fact that the hero is a good guy to begin with and even though Kelly is very stubborn he is even more stubborn and convinces her to let him help. Kelly has been a free spirit for ten years playing drums in a band and traveling. This is a new life style for her and she worries about her unborn baby. But through Doc her life is changing and all for the better. I felt the author gave us 2 very strong characters that are easy to like and care for and love Lucy, Doc's mom. She added a lot to the story. I could not put the book down as I needed to know what happened as I ended each chapter. I thought this was the first time I had read this author but soon discovered I had read "A Steel Heart" and loved it. Recommend this book...you will love it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Impossibly perfect
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2018
    The final book in this series is just that - impossibly perfect. Kelly and Anthony’s story was a joy to read.

    A romance that was 10 years in the making was so worth it. The initial spark between these two was snuffed out inexplicably and waited 10 years to reignite. But when it did, my goodness! It burned long and bright.

    I feel as though I’ve been through the wringer with these characters. I’ve laughed at the snark and banter, cried a lot of ugly tears at the heartbreak and cheered for a happy ending. I wish I could go back and read it again for the first time. It really is that good.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful and Moving Story!
    Reviewed in Canada on July 14, 2019
    I can’t even begin to tell you how many tears I shed throughout this book. It was so emotional, heartbreaking, moving and so beautifully written. From the beginning I was drawn into Kelly and Anthony’s story and I was rooting for not only their happy ending but for a happy ending for baby Hope.
    Finding out you are expecting is a joyous time but for some unfortunately this can be a very heartbreaking and scary time, especially when you hear that their is something wrong with your baby. Kelly is alone, scared for her baby and the only person she can turn to for help is the one man who broke her heart ten years ago. Anthony is shocked to see Kelly after all these years and knows that he can’t let her get away again. He will do anything he can to make Kelly happy and save baby Hope. This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. It is deeply moving and I can’t stop thinking about Kelly and Anthony’s journey to love.

    Kelly and Anthony's love story was a cute one. The book was very well written and the story kept me wanting to read the next page. I'm just gutted that I've read the 3 heart books now.
