Beautiful Hearts: An Age-Gap, Single Dad MM Romance (Rainbow Redemption Book 1) Kindle Edition
Tim:
I lost my husband three years ago. I’ve survived by focusing on raising my daughter.
Until I meet Jamie.
He’s wrong for me for so many reasons.
Too young. Too charming. Too beautiful.
But he works at the school where I teach, and I can’t resist spending time with him.
Our connection is undeniable despite the many differences between us. Which leaves me wondering—is it possible to find your soul mate twice?
Jamie:
A past relationship left me with massive scars, but this connection with Tim differs from anything I’ve had.
We laugh together, connect on a billion and one levels, and he’s the kindest man I’ve ever met.
Falling for a settled older man with a daughter isn’t part of my plan to travel and explore the world.
But I can’t deny my feelings for Tim. And honestly? I couldn’t be happier.
Until a secret from the past threatens to destroy everything.
Beautiful Hearts features two beautiful men finding love again after heartbreak. While there is fun banter and steamy times, there is also some angst. Please see the content warning inside.

Editorial Reviews
Review
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Jax Calder outdid herself with this one. It was kind, swoony, funny, and at times sad and painful. In short, it was perfect... I was entranced the whole time, I just couldn't put it down."
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Absolutely stunning! Get ready for one emotional ride following the love story of Tim and Jamie. I thought I could predict their story but I was so wrong. It was deeper, harsher, and just plain better than anything my mind could have imagined on its own."
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "I had so many feels whilst reading this book. From heartwarming to heartbreaking. From giggling at the jokes designed for a 7 year old, laughing at the banter between Tim and Jamie, fanning myself at the steamy scenes between them and then heartbreak at the 'gasp out loud' moment."
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "This was so beautiful. Tim and Jamie are two amazing souls who deserve all the happiness. I adored watching them fall in love and find their HEA despite all the difficulties they had to face. The twist at the end... OMG. It nearly killed me. Overall, this was one of the most beautiful romances I read this year."

- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseTwo individuals enter a romantic relationship and welcome a child together, with their sisters playing significant roles in the child's life amidst an unforeseen challenge ahead. Tim’s spouse, Rick, tragically passed away in an accident three years before the story begins, leaving Tim to navigate his grief while caring for his daughter and striving to preserve Rick's memory in her life. Upon Jamie's arrival at Tim's school, Tim finds himself drawn to Jamie's kindness and the effortless rapport that develops between them.
Jax Caulder presents poignant moments shared between Tim and Jamie, who are approximately eleven years apart in age. Tim has deep feelings for the younger man and wrestles with the implications of their age difference, yet feels an undeniable urge to be near Jamie. Jamie helps Tim organize his classroom for biology lectures and later takes on the role of athletic coordinator. We witness the blossoming romance between the two men despite the age gap, as well as Jamie's interactions with Tim’s daughter, Stella.
Jamie has made it clear that he plans to leave at the end of the academic year to embark on a rite of passage in New Zealand; however, this impending departure casts a shadow over Tim, and Jamie struggles with the idea of leaving to stay by Tim's side. Jamie shares details of past relationships, including one with a man named Pat, who mistreated him but also became a source of dependence for Jamie.
As Tim and Jamie openly express their affections for each other, Tim contemplates the possibility of a long-term commitment with someone other than his late husband, envisioning a future together. In an unexpected revelation, Jamie announces his decision to cancel his trip and stay, a shocking turn of events that unsettles Tim. This perceived betrayal leads Tim to reevaluate his feelings toward Jamie, leaving him heartbroken and igniting anger within his family.
The repercussions of these events profoundly affect both families, resulting in Jamie fleeing their home and social circle while Tim succumbs to depression. The conclusion is impactful and poignantly crafted, conveying a sincere message about the inevitability of human error and the choices we make in response to our mistakes, ultimately shaping our existence.
While the early part of the book primarily focuses on the development of a love story and the nurturing home established for Stella, alongside Tim and Jamie’s relationship, the latter section reveals Jax Caulder's flair for writing mysteries. Various pieces of the intricate puzzle fall into place as themes of anger and distrust weave through the narrative, leading to possible resolutions reminiscent of Hollywood endings.

This book made me literally gasp out loud when Jamie picked up that photo. Usually, I can spot these kinds of plot twists a mile off, and I have a lot of fun telling my husband my predictions and then seeing if I’m right. However, I was so pleasantly surprised to be shocked by this book. The author is GOOD. When I read the twist, I looked back over the plot in my head and I could see all the little red flags I just skipped past because of how cleverly the author layered old grief and new romance into the story. I am just so freaking impressed.
I loved both of the main characters from the gate. Tim is like a steady heartbeat almost the entire time. He’s a little battered, but he is reliably a source of comfort for both Jamie and Stella. He’s the comfort novel you take out when you’ve had a bad week and it’s raining to read while you drink a cup of tea. Jaimie is a beautiful soul. He did not deserve the way Pat treated him, but we find out later that that had less to do with Pat’s estimation of Jamie and way more to do with Rick drowning in guilt. Jaimie breathes life into the story. He’s happiness bottled, like a golden retriever.
Now, Pat/Rick…you had me going man. I thought Pat was a real prick for sure. (That’s punny.) I almost couldn’t believe someone could treat someone that was a treasure like Jaimie the way that he did. Even with the wife story, I was still amazed by his blatant idiocy. Of course, we did find out later that that was on Pat and his failings. Rick though…I grieved for him. I’ve read other window books and I don’t really have a taste for them. I don’t know what it is but they tend to drive me away. This grief though, was written so achingly beautiful. I appreciated every instance of Rick being mentioned between the main characters up until the plot twist. I thought it was beautiful the way Tim kept his memory alive for Stella. I 100% subscribed to Tim’s fanciful ideations. If I had not read that bonus release from his point of view, I would probably feel a lot less charitable towards him. All of the angst was expertly written and I was on the edge of my seat.
I have just one thing to say about the trio of sisters. You are meddlesome meddling meddlers who need to mind your own damn business. Even doing something damaging out of love is still vile and I hope you learn your lesson.
Whew, this ended up being really long but damn. I could say more but if you’ve read all of this my point is that I think you should read this book. This author is talented and deserves for their stories to be heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars I‘m flabbergasted!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI've cried so much! And I loved it! Jax has something about her style of writing that gets to me every time. She has a unique sense of humour, that had me laughing out loud more than once and on the other hand I've cried a lot. I've cried about her dealings with death and grief and her vision on life, I've cried happy tears about the wonderful ending and I just can't get enough. Tim and Jamie have my heart and especially Tim's daughter made me laugh and cry almost at the same time. A fantastic romance with a really unforeseen twist that stepped up the suspense SO well!

Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIt's sweet, emotional, intense, hopeful, I highly recommend it. I very rarely cry, reading and even in general, but this book brought me close to tears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite emotional!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseArgh... don't know what to say, really. I mean obviously I loved the book, but God was it emotional! I was not ready to go through all that.
(SEMI) SPOILERS
Of course I knew something big was coming when everything was going so smooth and perfect in their relationship. The slow burn romance was wonderfully handled, by the way. Loved every part of it. And nope, having read other low angst Calder's stories before, I DID NOT see that coming. You know what I'm talking about... Actually, I realized once Jamie meets Cam and he makes this weird assumption. At that moment I knew and in my mind I was like "please author DO NOT go there, please just don't!!!! But deep inside I just knew she was going there, of course she was... Anyway, it made me cry. I hate angst so much! But yeah I adored the end. So 5 stars for sure!
