I really enjoyed reading Uncross Your Heart by Taryn Elliott. It's hard to believe that this is her debut novel. It was a well written story with great character development, depth and emotions that made it a romantic love story. I adored Nate Cross who was sexy, romantic and would do anything for the woman he was falling in love with. It was not just sex for him, he showed many times he wanted to learn more about the woman by trying to learn more about her family and past. I loved his interaction with his family especially his brothers. I had a harder time warming up to Miranda Woods who was beautiful, intelligent but was running away from her wild past of drugs, alcohol and sex. She was really uptight and needed to loosen up. I have to admit I wasn't sure why Nate would fall for her, but when she finally showed her vulnerable side, I felt myself opening up to her. I even found myself rooting for her to work things out with Nate and have a future together. I don't think this would have been possible if not for the author's ability to write such an emotional and realistic story with multidimensional characters. Another reason I loved this book was the secondary character of Max who was adorable and wanted what was best for Miranda. I found myself smiling and laughing whenever he was around. I hope we will see more of him in future books and I'm looking forward to reading stories about Nate's brothers.
