ARC Review: Heart Strings by Ivy Fairbanks

Publication Date: August 12, 2025

This book tugged at my heart from the very first moment- pun very much intended! It comes as absolutely zero surprise to me how much warmth, thought, and heart came through in this book. Heart Strings embodied everything about the beauty of love a second time over and the realization that true love never leaves us behind.

Having met Ivy last year at a release party for Morbidly Yours, I was over the moon excited to be approved for this ARC. Aidan and Cielo had the most beautiful and compelling story. I was rooting for them all along, and their powerful chemistry only amplified that feeling for me.

I love a good musician romance, and I loved the role of music between Aidan and Cielo! The tenderness of every love song of his being written for her just had me melting. Once he’s given the opportunity, he never stops showing up for her, even in the hardest of times. It was a beautiful and meaningful example of true love and the depths of which that love empowers us.

Thank you to PENGUIN GROUP Putnam and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
