OK, I am not going to lie. As I started reading this, I had no idea what was happening. Were they strangers? Were they a married couple trying to spice things up a little?

But I instantly liked Gabe and Elena. Gabe was like a little boy in a big man's body. The hurts from the past are still affecting him. Elena could be just the perfect person for him.

Baring their souls to each other is the best form of therapy, allowing each of them to start to move forward - but are they moving on together or alone.

The little scene stealer in this quick read is Simon. He was just too adorable for words!

It is hard with such a short story to no have things feel rushed. But that was not an issue at all with The Heart Of It. Although I would like to know more about Elena, Gabe and Simon.

Maybe, Ms O'Keefe, we could get more in the future?
