Story
Rebecca Keane has it all figured out. With a successful career as an Army surgeon and a fresh promotion to lieutenant colonel, she loves her life leading a surgical team. Even if that life means she’s spent years hiding her sexuality and ignoring her desires under the Army’s "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy. Then Captain Sabine Fleischer’s arrival sets off an attraction that cracks Rebecca’s carefully cultivated armor and brings about fresh complications.

She's determined not to let anything stop her - not even falling in love with her aloof mentor, Dr. Emily Barnes. Emily has only ever focused on her career as a senior attending in the emergency department, and she isn't happy about having to babysit a resident with a 10-year gap in her resume, no matter how intriguing she is. But every time they work together, it's not just their patients' heartbeat that gets a little irregular.

Thursdays aren't simply another day of the week for Amy Spencer and Ellis Hall. Thursday afternoons sizzle with no-strings sex for the two women, who meet each week in a hotel room to forget their past - and their present. The arrangement works perfectly for Amy, a busy surgeon who's still smarting from a failed relationship. For Ellis, Thursday afternoons act as a pressure valve from her cutthroat job and mistakes in her personal life she's trying to rectify. Soon they discover that their outside worlds are on a collision course with the carefully constructed world they've created.

Caitlyn Lloyd has the world at her feet. Or more accurately - under her horse’s hooves. With the 2016 Rio Olympics just around the corner, nothing is going to derail her long-held dream of winning a medal or two in Olympic dressage. Not even the reappearance of a childhood so-not-a-friend throwing her perfectly balanced life into disarray. Addie Gardner’s career is at its peak, and accepting a last-minute fill-in position as the veterinarian for the US Olympic Dressage Team was a no-brainer. The fact that her old crush from Pony Club is on the team is just a bonus.

If there’s one thing Brooke Sullivan knows for sure is that people let you down, but that hasn’t stopped her from going after the life she wants. In a new city, with a new job and a new start as a high-end real estate agent, she’s finally back on her feet. The last thing she needs is a distraction. Not her volatile neighbors, not a damn stray cat, and certainly not the flaky, infuriatingly adorkable girl-next-door property stager she has to work with.

Free-spirited and easygoing Taylor Vandenberg left her hometown of Faircombe, Tennessee, as soon as she could, and in the twenty-five years since, she has rarely looked back. She wouldn't change anything about how her life has turned out—having traveled to nearly every country, never staying anywhere long enough to feel stifled. Brooke Watson has known Taylor for her entire life, and lifelong knowledge means that Brooke knows she's trouble: irresponsible, takes nothing seriously, and irritatingly attractive.

Jacqueline Keys was ostracized from her small hometown of Pine Springs, Texas, when she was 17, sent away because she was gay. Fifteen years later - long after she'd hitch-hiked to Los Angeles, put herself through college, and had written her first best seller - Jacqueline is persuaded to go back to the tiny town of Pine Springs after her father's death. The quick trip she'd envisioned for the funeral turns into weeks as she learns her father's business is suddenly hers to manage. And she is also again face-to-face with the woman who, as a teen, had been Jackie's first crush.

Publisher's Summary
An enemies-to-lovers lesbian romance about daring to open your heart.
Dr. Jess Riley's life is perfect, ticking all the boxes - successful cardiologist, newborn daughter, and a luxurious condo. That is, until she suddenly collapses from acute heart failure. Her entire world crumples along with her exhausted body.
Jess is forced to face facts - she can't keep working endless hours, and she'll have to move back home to recover.
To her shock, her mother has already taken in Lena Walker, a struggling artist who isn't a stranger to heartbreak either.
At first, an unimpressed Jess resents Lena's cheerful presence. Gradually, though, the two women form a tentative friendship over tai chi, picking fruit, and evening walks with the baby. A sexy massage leads to friends-with-benefits fun. But is it all too soon? Should two barely mended souls try to risk a future together?
Contains mature themes.

Romance , and learning to trust.
I wanted to read this for a long time. I love strong female doctor roles...who doesn't? This wasn't what I expected. It was slow to get into and a lot of disecting thoughts and each other. Things in real life that...well we do. But at times I felt it was long winded. Even with that it was very good and sweet. It was a slow burn but it needed to be. I didn't sigh at the end but I was very glad I read it.

Kind of lame
I struggled with finishing this one. It was too cosy and a bit boring. But it had something, some sparks and interesting stories and conflicts. Then it was the narration... When a narrator does'nt variate the tone of voice in the love scenes from that in any other ordinary talk, it is hard to follow (by emotions) what is actually going on. And, Jess sounded the same whether she was angry or happy. It was not a bad book, but I don't think I will hear it again.

Why? Such. Odd. Phrasing and. Pauses. Throughout?
I wonder if I would have enjoyed it more with a different narrator, or if I had read it instead. My biggest complaint about Lori Prince, more than the breathy little girl voices, is her odd cadence. Breaks in the wrong places. Pauses. That change the meaning. Of things.
“Let’s eat grandma.” vs. “Let’s eat, Grandma.”
I come away with the feeling that she doesn’t understand what she’s reading.
That being said, I’ve listened to other titles where she absolutely nailed it. I should check publication dates. Maybe she has gotten better over time.
Anyway, this was not one of the successes. I spent so much time trying to mentally rearrange the pauses to tease out the intended meaning, I stayed distracted from the story throughout. No one just speaking would make these mistakes. Stuck in my head is a scene where someone bumps into the wine, almost spilling it, and jumps up. The person jumps up. But the pauses and inflection had me trying to make sense of wine jumping up? Was that how the author described a spill? Until my brain rearranged it and I realized the wine was bumped, the person jumped up.
Silly, stupid, little things, but peppered throughout hours of storytelling, they add up.
I liked parts of the story, but overall I did not enjoy this listen.
I notice audible has another title by Chris Zett. I think I’ll check the narrator and publication date before deciding about purchasing that one.

Finding family
Although Heart Failure is a standalone novel, I enjoyed the links to Chris Zett’s Irregular Rhythm.
Heart Failure is a low angst romance about two very different people finding love and acceptance where they least expected or planned. It’s an opposites attract, enemies to lovers story which follows the very grumpy Dr Jess Riley through two life changing events. I really enjoyed how her character developed in complexity throughout the book, and equally liked Lena’s calm, steady persona. It’s well written and there is a sense of realism that is refreshing, especially in the intimate scenes.
I think Lori Prince does a great job of the narration, bringing both main characters to life.

A heartwarming wlw romance
Warning: Although this audiobook can be listened to as a standalone story, it is disappointing that the details given by Audible/Tantor Audio fail to mention that this is the second novel in a loosely connected series. Some of the characters from Chris Zett's earlier book, "Irregular Rhythm", appear again in this story, so you may want to listen to that audiobook first... I wish I had known this as I would have preferred to listen to her earlier title before this one.
I really enjoyed this story from start to finish. Chris Zett's writing is great, the plot interesting - never bland - and the characters engaging. As always, Lori Prince's skilled narration conveys every nuance of feeling and brings the story fully to life.
