“From start to finish this is an intensely emotional story, particularly in addressing the emotional conflict Noah is going through. ”

"As you travel down the road of self-discovery with Noah you will laugh, you will cry and your heart will break for him. He goes through so much and his world is turned upside down in a very short time. Robert could have easily been an unlikable character, but Velden wrote him in such a way that the reader was captivated by his charm and understanding of his hesitancy."

"It has been a while since I have read a story that has made me laugh and cry, but this is one that did that. I did not want the story to end, and I hope that there is a follow on to this book – please take note Lily Velden – as I would love to read what happens to both Robert and Noah in the future."

"My only wish is that perhaps one of the earlier sex scenes had been replaced for another at the end of the story. I would have loved a final lovemaking scene and heard in more detail how Robert was feeling and suffering when they were apart. But that’s just me being greedy because I didn’t want their story to end."

"My April hot pick is definitely Heart Knot Mine by Lily Velden. I really enjoyed this emotional and passionate story. Noah's struggle with his sexuality is portrayed realistically. Lily has created two vastly different characters and woven their lives and story together seamlessly, they both have their own strengths and weaknesses, but try to find happiness nonetheless. The story is a heart-warming yet gut-wrenching read that brought tears to my eyes, along with some big smiles. It’s a sweet, sometimes angsty story of two men who struggle a lot but truly find their place in the world and a great love to complete each other. It has the perfect balance of romance, heartbreak, intrigue and sweaty sex that all us fans of the M/M genre crave. Highly recommended!"
