Meet Elizabeth Bretton, Silverstone Heiress, undead, single. Currently being haunted by a 150-year old ghost with thoughts of vengeance. The only way to get rid of him is to solve the 150-year old mystery and learn the true story about Broken Heart.
That isn't Elizabeth's only issue right now. Enter Tez Jones, were-jaguar. He's crude, egotistical and not to mention extremely hot. Not only is Elizabeth having to solve this mystery, but fighting her feelings for Tez at the same time, not to mention the entire community of were-cats looking to make Tez their new leader.
What's an undead heiress to do?
This book was what I would expect from this series. It was funny but still had several serious moments. I really enjoyed it.
Elizabeth and Tez seem like complete opposites at first...actually the entire time. Elizabeth is more proper and polite with a high vocabulary and particular way of speaking as a result of her upbringing. Tez is more vulgar and strongly opinionated. He also is honest to a fault and I just love that about him.
Tez just took me in and made me love the book. I couldn't stop reading because I wanted to know what he was going to say next. When Elizabeth first meets him, he straight up tells her that he way of talking turns him on. It makes the scenes following much more amusing.
I really couldn't find fault with this book overall. I enjoyed all of it right to the very end.
If I had to find fault with it, I would say that some of the characters we meet from past stories have gone through some major personality and attitude changes. Jessica seems much more badass than she was when we first met her in the first book. Eva seems stronger too. In a way both of these characters grew, which is what we want to see, but I couldn't really see much of the original character from when I first met them.
Overall though, I found it to be a quick and delightful little read.

Review Posted @ reviews.blueteacup.com
After having been so disappointed in the previous book in this series, I was revealed to find myself back in a happy place when it came to Broken Heart.
I found the characters of Elizabeth and Tez to be unique to the series, which kept me hooked and interested. Elizabeth is different to the other women of Broken Heart. She keeps to herself, she is older and she finds herself being totally alone. She was brought up as a proper lady and thus acts just like one, by habit. Or at least she did, before she met Tez.
Tez is a were-jaguar who has only ever really known a life of solitude. He is the only one left of his kind, and thus he feels rather isolated from the paranormal world and even the human world. He decides to look into Broken Heart, as the very idea of being around others from the paranormal world peaks his interests. It isn’t until he meets Elizabeth that he realise his town has a lot more to offer then he originally thought.
I really enjoyed the chemistry between Tez and Elizabeth. They seemed to encourage one another to recognise parts of themselves that didn’t even know they had. Tez brought on Elizabeth’s passionate desires where as Elizabeth made Tez realise just how much he really wanted a family of his own.
It was great to see that Bardsley hasn’t lost it after all, especially after having read book 6 not that long ago and having been left disappointed. This series is quirky, fun and packed full of characters. A great light read that will always get you smiling.

Elizabeth, a were-jaguar and an evil that wreaks havoc on the couple of Broken Heart are at the centre of this particular adventure which is as delicious as the previous entries into the series.

Cross Your Heart by Michele Bardsley, book seven in the broken heart series
This book is about Elizabeth Bretton, who has returned to her family estate at Broken heart in Oklahoma. She doesn't know it at the time but she will give up her life as the Silverstone heiress.
With a vengeful ghost trying to kill her, it proves hard to leave the past behind her. Elizabeth has to solve a mystery that is around 150 years old. and her "love" interest?....... come on you have the gist of the books by now her special someone is Tez. Tez is of course a rather hot, gorgeous,fit....(need I go on?) were-jaguar. This book continues the pairing off of the residents of Broken Heart. We also hear of the escapades of all the other characters we have come to know and love too. Still enjoying the book though i have got to admit they are getting somewhat predictable on the who is going to be paired with who front. The action (no not the love action!) the back story is as intriguing as ever so still enjoyed reading the book.

Silly, and there was a lot of backstory, but the author slid it in and I didn't worry my pretty head about it. There was no real chemistry between the main characters, but for mystical reasons they were doomed to lust after each other forever, so things seem fine. I think it would be more fun starting at the beginning of the series, but this was fine.

I much preferred this book to its predecessor and in fact at the end it had a teaser for Must Love Lycans which I am now trying to track down and read because finally Damian gets his own story - Yay
