Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

When Gage Evans gets a look at his hot nurse, he's smitten immediately. Too bad he's given the nurse the impression he's some kind of daredevil. It couldn't be further from the truth. Gage is a college journalism instructor writing a series of guest columns that require him to jump into new experiences - a fun bucket list, but one that does nothing to convince Ben he's not an adrenaline junkie.

Fresh off his latest heartbreak, nurse Ben Griggs is wary when one of his patients shows an interest in him - especially when that patient showed up in the ER after a motorcycle accident. Ben's ex was a biker, a friend with benefits, and he dropped Ben cold when someone more interesting came along. Ben isn't the kind of guy who can hold the interest of an adrenaline junkie like Gage Evans for long. The last thing he wants is to lose his heart to the wrong man again.

The more Ben gets to know Gage, the harder he is to resist. He can only hold on for the ride and keep his guard up as much as he can. But Ben's lack of trust seriously gets in the way of building a relationship, and Gage will only be patient so long. Can he trust Gage enough to give his heart, or are they destined to have a fling that goes nowhere?

This is a spin-off from the Ashe Sentinel Connections series, where Ben appears briefly in the book Hard Press. It can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Ohh how sweet and refreshing!

Heart Trouble is a sweet, fun romance. I needed a good pick-me-up a story and this was perfect.
Ben is a nurse that has trouble with men. He has a habit of choosing men that like adrenaline rushes and no strings. He wants a boyfriend. His friend Alex always tries to help hook him up by saving him, certain patients. One day he meets Gage thinking he is a motorcycle rider he turns down his advances. He meets Gage again at a bar where each was out with their friends and after a few drinks they go talk and wind up in bed.
I loved Gage's persistence. This story is so well written, its sweet and hot but the heat is well done.
Kenneth Obi narrated this and man did he give it such life. I loved his narration and listening to the story.
I highly recommend this if you are looking for something romantic, like male nurses, Male professors, crazy best friends, and some hot man-sex.

Feel Good Romance

Such a good book with great narration by Kenneth Obi. DJ Jamison does great job of making you feel for both MC and understand why they have such opposite attitudes regarding commitment. She gives you sexy times, sass, humor as well as feels.

Sweetl romance with feels

This is a pretty sweet, fluffy, low angst romance between two men with trust issues. The angst was low, but there were plenty of feels. It was enjoyable going on this journey as the two main characters worked through their issues toward their happy ever after.

The narrator did a great job bringing out/ expressing the emotion of the characters at the appropriate times. One small thing got in my nerves though: he tends to end each chapter awkwardly. Like, it sounds like he's going to continue but then suddenly it's the next chapter.

Would recommend.

Great story!

I loved the characters in this story! Gage is an optimist with a sad past, Ben has been burned in love and is afraid to trust. They go on a series of dates for Gage's articles and end up falling in love ( not without some trials ). In the end they get their HEA. The narrator does a great job with the story and kept me captivated.

A bit overly dramatic

I’ve been wanting to read this book for a long time. So I got super excited when I finally got around to do it.

I liked this book a lot. Gage and Ben are very lovable characters. But, and this is why it wasn’t a full five star read, Ben was a bit too much. I needed him to get out of his head a bit earlier than he did. He freaked out over and over and over and over again.

I’m not sure about the secondary character Zayne having both an abusive dad and stepdad. For me, that kind of homophobia seems a bit too much and over the top. But I guess I’ll get to know more about that in the next book.

The narration was good. A few weird pauses here and there but except that, amazing.

Amazing!!

Heart Trouble by DJ Jamison is the first book in The Hearts and Health series.

Gage and Ben are great characters and I love them. Their dance of romance is fun, sweet and a good dose of sexy. I felt drawn into the story and enjoyed every moment.

Narrating is done my Kenneth Obi and is fantastic. Each Character has their own "voice" that pops out with personality and life. The experience of the story is taken to new heights. Great job!

don't be afraid of love

This is a wonderful story, with all the feels, about finding love and holding on to it.
Narrator Kenneth Obi does a wonderful job.

Loved it

I loved this book. It’s a very sweet love story. Really recommend it!! Great narration.

Great start to a series

A fun jaunt through the misfortunes of a college journalism professor who keeps injuring himself while "experiencing the story" and the nurse who treats him. Hoping the side characters reappear in future books in the series!

adorable

I loved this story when I first read it. I loved the sweetness of the two men together. Kenneth brought the story to such life that made me feel more of the emotion of the story than just reading it had done. great collaboration with the two!
