Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
A far-fetched but intriguing premise powers the latest paranormal romance from the author of Second Time Around. When heart patient Jenna Elliot's husband, Paul, dies in a car crash, Jenna receives his transplanted heart and, with it, a psychic connection to her late husband. Not only is she drawn to investigate the unusual circumstances surrounding his death, but she feels compelled to travel to a town in Texas, where she discovers Mitch ElliotAthe twin brother Paul never told her aboutAand an old mystery concerning the murder of the twins' parents. This promising situation becomes static, however, as the characters visit and revisit the same emotional conflicts. All the while, Paul's heart conveniently reveals the necessary clues to them, bit by bit. Although fans will enjoy the complex characters and unusual plot, the story quickly loses momentum. (June)

This was a heartwarming story from the very beginning. The characters were made real by Ms. Wainscott talented writing. Combining mystery, romance,faith, and "what if" situations made this a page turning story from the first page. Mitch and Jenna were great characters and their romance was very believable.Ms. Wainscott has a real talent for taking the incredible and making it seem not only real but possible.

In A Heart Beat,
By A Customer
This review is from: In A Heartbeat (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a very well written book. I loved the people and could feel thier frustrations and joys. This book held my interest from page one, I could not put it down. One of the best books Tina Wainscott has written. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read. I loved this couple and rooted for them. What a concept, to have your husbands heart inside you. The ending was a great surprise, never suspected anything. Tina kept you guessing all the way through the book. The people felt so real to me. Great book, a must read

This review is from: In A Heartbeat (Mass Market Paperback)
Tina Wainscott's newest novel is a marvelous read. She has taken a current day medical event and given it an imaginative twist that is hard to match.Jenna Elliott needs a new heart. When her husband Paul dies in a car accident, he wills his heart to Jenna. She receives the transplant, recovers from the surgery and then is filled with the need to visit Texas. She feels Paul's spirit leading her to a place that is unknown to her. The first person she encounters is his twin, Mitch, whom she did not know existed. Paul had kept his life before Jenna secret. She did not know he had family, nor did she know that he was rich. As each mystery unravels, Mitch must learn to trust Jenna and she must fight to solve the problems that Paul left behind. Paul s spirit tells her that he wants her to find the truth, and she grows in strength with Mitch's help to get at that truth which has tormented both brothers for nine years. Mitch and Jenna develop a deep and powerful love that changes their lives. Tina Wainscott tells this story extremely well. Her style of writing is top notch, her characters are strong, and the plot is full of excitement. Her novel engenders a new awareness of the struggles a transplant patient must face in his/her everyday life. Her touch of the supernatural is imaginative, and makes one feel that a person's soul is truly in the heart. This is a not to be missed story. It is filled with suspense, romance, extra sensory perception, and excitement in the discovery of a new life and a new love for Jenna Elliott. Treat yourself to this book, you won't be disappointed.
