Blurb


A promised love. An ancient affinity. A Keeper's sacrifice.

Dylan McBride doesn't like hiding—from his fans, the press, or his father. He's left with no other choice after his dad threatens Heaven's life. His greatest fear is losing his wife and unborn child. He will do anything to save them, even tolerate a connection Heaven shares with her Keeper. Yet the man sworn to protect her is the one Dylan used to call his friend.

Layne is struggling to harness his pyrokinesis. Controlling the fire within him is tougher than he imagined, but so is accepting his role as Heaven's Keeper. As if kissing her didn't cause enough friction, he learns their Seeker-Keeper bond is far more complicated. Heaven is affecting more than his mind and powers. She's waging war on his heart and soul.

Heaven isn't enjoying life on the run or the sudden onset of clairvoyant visions. If they come true, she'll need Layne's protection more than ever. Though he's taken to his Keeper duties, she senses a battle in his soul that's preventing him from accessing his true power. The only way to help him is to deepen their friendship. But nothing goes according to plan, and Heaven soon discovers there's a thin line between love, hate, duty, and fate.

What the Heart Takes is the third installment in the Soulmate Series. If you like mesmerizing romances with suspense, soulmates, and supernatural twists, you’ll love Kelli McCracken’s compelling take on love, fate, and destiny.

5 Star Review

Well I have to say that Kelli McCracken has done it again. Dylan, Heaven and yes Mr Layne Perry have entered my life again and I am caught in the web of these characters. The characters have been slowly developing and evolving as this series has continued but none more than Layne. This book really shows us the true struggles that he has been going through being part of this heavenly trio. (Yes pun intended). 

This is simply an amazing book and I couldn't stop reading it. I will not give away the plot or story because honestly you need to experience Kelli's writing genius on your own. If you haven't read the first two books in the series it is advised that you do so. I am so in love with what I learned about Layne and I love how his character is developing and I am learning more about him. He is such a tortured soul fighting what he knows he should do and what his heart desires. This book really showed me a glimpse into the heart of him.

The struggles that Heaven and Dylan face as they try to start their journey together is faced with challenges and struggles. It is through their love for each other that will only see them through it all. So Kelli you have me hooked, line and sinker. I love an author that can pull me into the story and have me walking the steps with the characters and that is what I feel I have done with this book. Do I recommend this book... Yes! Do I think it deserves five stars... No I think it deserves a million stars. I love, love, love this book and I look forward to the next chapter in this story and to find out what journey you will take me on next

Compelled by fate, will he sacrifice everything to save her?

Dylan McBride has never liked hiding—from his fans, the press, or his father. He’s left with no other choice after his father threatens Heaven’s life. Protecting his wife and unborn child is the only thing that matters. He’d do anything to save them. Even tolerate a connection she shares with her Keeper, the man sworn to save her life. The man he used to call his friend.

Layne’s struggling with his pyrokinetic abilities, as well as accepting his role as Heaven’s Keeper. As if kissing her didn’t make things awkward enough, he learns that their connection is more complicated than he ever imagined. So complicated, it affects not only his mind, but also his soul.

Though he’s taken to his Keeper duties, Heaven senses a battle between Layne’s heart and soul. A battle that’s preventing him from accessing his abilities. There’s only one sure way to help him. Their friendship must deepen. But nothing’s ever easy, and she soon discovers there’s a thin line between love, hate, and What the Heart Takes.




“I’m sorry,” he sighed, leaning his head against hers. “I don’t want to feel like this. I sure as hell don’t like you feeling this with me, but I—”

“Don’t,” she whispered, pressing her finger to his lips. “Don’t ever apologize for loving me or for any other emotion that stems from that. I would feel the same as you, if the roles were reversed.”

“No you wouldn't, because you’re pure of heart. You love unconditionally. I’m just a jealous jerk.”

“You’re not a jealous jerk. You’re just a man, trying to protect what he loves.” He tried to look away, but she pressed her hands to his face, holding it in place. “Nothing will ever change the way I feel about you. Even if Layne was head-over-heels for me, he isn't you. My connection with him is fueling his emotions. He’ll work through them.”

His eyes wavered with emotion, as did their bond. “I know you love me. I've never questioned that, except for Aruba, and that was because of my stubbornness. I've come close to losing you twice because of it. I don’t want it to happen again.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” She grabbed his hand, placing it against her stomach. “We’re bound, Dylan. In heart, in soul, in every breath we take. I will always be yours.”

His lips pressed together as he feigned a smile. “Deep down, I know you’re right. I shouldn't let it bother me, but I can’t help it. Before you came into my life, he was my closest friend. We've been through a lot.”

“And I complicated that.” Her eyes fell to the floor, but only for a moment. His fingers slid under her chin as he nudged it upward.

“No, you completed me. You gave me the one thing I've searched for my entire life…you.”

"It seems like all I ever do is write...and listen to Layne. He's always whispering something naughty in my ear, like being dipped in chocolate. Now I'm craving a Kit-Kat. Welcome to my zany life, where sanity is optional, romance is required, and liquor is most definitely quicker. Jack Daniels keeps me sane, my characters, not so much."
