Book Description


He’s her patient. She’s his last chance. And breaking the rules was never part of the treatment plan. But when obsession meets unraveling, someone always gets burned.


Dr. Olivia Lin never wanted to treat Rex Anderson, the reckless billionaire with a grin like sin and a death wish to match. But taking the case aboard a private cruise means funding for her mental health nonprofit and confronting a grief she’s never escaped. So she says yes, even when every instinct tells her to run.

Rex doesn’t want help. Therapy is a smokescreen to keep his family off his back. But Olivia is sharper than he expected. She sees through his charm and finds the fractures. And worse, she makes him feel.

As the luxury cruise winds through glittering ports, Olivia is drawn deeper into Rex’s world of secrets and sin. The line between them doesn’t just blur—it shatters.

But Rex is hiding more than heartache. And the closer they get to their final destination, the more dangerous it becomes—for their hearts, their futures and their lives.

Because some patients want to be healed. And some were made to destroy everything.

My Thoughts


When Hearts Unravel by Victoria Lum is a masterful and deeply emotional romance that is an absolute page-turner. I devoured this story in just a day; the moment I started, I couldn't stop reading. The book expertly combines sizzling chemistry, deep emotional honesty, and high-stakes suspense, making it instantly addictive.

The story centers on a forbidden romance built on desperation and proximity. Dr. Olivia Lin, a strong and inspiring woman, takes on the case of the reckless billionaire Rex Anderson aboard a private cruise. Olivia sees this as a necessary chance to secure funding for her mental health nonprofit and confront her own long-buried grief. Rex, with his grin like sin and a death wish to match, only views therapy as a smokescreen to appease his family.

Rex is everything you could hope for in a broken hero. The author flawlessly captures the depth and complexity of his grief and chaos, making his journey incredibly powerful. As Olivia, the perfect calm to his storm, sees through his charm to the fractures beneath, the line between doctor and patient doesn't just blur—it shatters.

The plot is engaging and suspense-filled. The high emotion level is top-notch, shining a light on mental health and the difficult process of navigating grief. Victoria Lum provides a profound message: sometimes, we don't need all the answers to keep moving forward. This book is darker and more suspenseful than a typical romance, but it suits Rex's journey perfectly. Fair warning: the chemistry between Rex and Olivia is pure fire! Rex’s dirty talk and the intensity of their connection are incredibly potent; if you blush easily, save this one for a private reading session!

While this story is deeply satisfying as a complete experience, it features a rich world and cast of characters that hint at more to come. When Hearts Unravel is an absolutely phenomenal read that works perfectly as a standalone novel.
