★★★★★
Cort van Breda has won 35 death matches as a fighter in an MMA circuit so deep underground there are no rules and only the winner gets out alive.
They call him the Sick Heart.
They say he's a shameless monster.
They say he's a ruthless killer.
They say he's as twisted as the man who owns him.
They say a lot of things about Cort van Breda.
But in our world violence is money, and money is winning, and winning is life, and life is the only thing that matters.
Except... he wasn't meant to win that last fight.
And I wasn't meant to be his prize.
But he did.
And I am.
And now his sick heart owns me.

WARNING: This is a sweet love story adrift in an ocean of evil. It is about two survivors dealing with their darkest secrets while they fight to change their lives. It is for mature readers only and has descriptions of deeply disturbing situations. There will be pearl clutching.

I don’t even know where to begin...
Reviewed in Australia on 5 June 2021

So this was the first book I’ve read by this author. I had no idea what to expect and I have never read anything like this.

First off, I found this story really well written. I am no professional I just enjoy a good story. Too many stories seem to forget to tie in all the little loose ends once the main storyline takes over, however Sick Heart didn’t leave me questioning “so what happened to...?” For instance Bexxie, although not everything ends happily I’m glad it wasn’t just forgotten about.

Secondly I want to applaud JA Huss for writing stories everyone else seems to scared to, either out of denial, ignorance or fear. It’s such an icky subject but the sickness is real even though Sick Heart is a work of fiction. There’s no polite way to talk about child trafficking and obviously if you’d rather be in denial and believe sickness like that doesn’t exist then you’ll find this book dark.

However it’s not really. It’s a story of survival, love, trust, hope, and never giving up to create your own happily ever after.
This story is as tactfully written as could be for two warriors with a past only filled with darkness. And although it’s full of darkness and sickness it’s only implied, you don’t actually read any non consensual scenes or the likes of.

Still tread with caution if you can’t handle confronting topics.
However If you’re someone who knows nothing is ever what it seems in this strange world of ours then you might just love this piece of fiction as much as I do.

This is not the sort of story that I normally read, but I really enjoyed this, it kept me turning pages. Cort and Anya's story was heartbreaking the way their lives had started and what they went through to survive. At times during this story I shook my head, other times I smiled and at the end I breathed a sign of relief.
I thought this story was well told.

Cort and Anya live in a very dark world where life can be taken away in the blink of an eye.
They are both silent. Cort doesn't understand his feelings for Anya, but for some reason he wants to keep her.

Absolutely fabulous!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2021

I'm not even sure what to say. I have loved the books JA Huss has written, so I often just pre-order and rarely read the synopsis. So I went into this blind, thinking it would be more mainstream MMA. But no, this is set in a sick, evil part of society (some part of The Company? It doesn't get a mention, but it would fit with their twisted way of world). The fighters fight to the death. No rules. Cort/Sick Heart has won every fight he's been in - he's made it to 27yrs old, and has one last fight to win. One last training camp to run, then he's out. Anya belongs to the opponents camp, and is part of the prize for the winner. Maybe. Neither Cort or Anya speak - they don't get to control much about their lives, but this is one thing they can control.
The settings are something I've not come across before, but the fight setting, and the location of the training camp are well described and easy to imagine. As always, it's easy to get lost in the world JA Huss has built. It's all so believable. We get to know the characters in their silent world's on that training camp.
This was a difficult read at times. The characters had difficult situations to deal with. They live in a world that is horrific. But they had inner strength - they survived their circumstances. There's lots of tension, and a twist to the story.
Read this if you dare. And be mindful of the warnings. Suspend the real world, and dive into a world where the insanely rich are sick, evil and don't fear consequences of their actions.

Good storyline but fell flat at the end
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2021
Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this story up until a point and then it just didn’t do it for me anymore. Probably about 80% I enjoyed. Not sure what happened. This had a very dark plot and back story to all our characters. They had all been brought in a very violent world ruled by men whose only goal is to be on top. Anya Bokori and Cort van Breda are our main characters, Cort is a fighter and Anya is his prize. This reads like a world within a world type story, as in there is a normal world on the outside but these guys live in this weird world of their own. On ships, oil rigs etc. It was hard to get my head around but once you get what’s going on it does suck you in. I found myself feeling very sad and emotional with a lot of the story as it revolves mainly around children of all ages. Some of the scenes are horrific. There is a lot of information which sometimes seemed a bit repeated and towards the end I just lost the plot. I just didn’t enjoy the ending and felt it went a bit flat.

A very dark world with a touching love story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2021
Verified Purchase
I absolutely loved the premise of this book. What a dark twisted dystopian existence the main characters lead, hidden away from the real world.

There are some very bleak moments, and some very horrific moments. There are evil, sick men who are abusive and cruel; however, the strength, courage and honour among their young slaves is magical.

This is not a book for the faint hearted, but if you take the plunge you will discover a compelling read with a touching love story that shines a light in the darkest of corners
