This is a new type of genre by J. A Huss and I hope this isnβt a one off. Sick Heart is a novel involving underground MMA fighting where only one man leaves alive. Itβs kill or be killed. Cort Van Breda, known as Sick Heart, is the only man to have won thirty five death MMA matches. This is his last death match for the Ring of Fire Championship. He wasnβt meant to win.
For the winner there are a slew of rewards, one of which is a woman. Anya is the sacrificial reward between her patriarchal family and that of the Sick Heart camp. She wasnβt meant to live.
Sick Heart is a dark themed novel, but doesnβt dwell on the darkness. Itβs about human trafficking, and surviving. Itβs about romance without the romance. Itβs about love without the declarations. Julie Huss has written about shadow governments, human trafficking, surviving, love and romance but not like this.
Although Cort has won numerous female slaves, but his father kept them all., along with the majority of his prizes. Cort wants to keep Anya, as she represents his last win before retiring. However, there is something special about Anya. At eighteen, she is past her desirable age as a house slave, Corts father wants her, her father wants her, and none want Cort to have her.
Court and Anya have something in common. They never talk. Itβs the one part of their life they can control. Nothing about their lives have been normal, so their life together will never be a cookie cutter time-honoured relationship.
This book and its narrative is wonderfully written. I would go so far in saying that Sick Heart is Hussβs best work to date. Itβs so engaging that itβs hard to put down. Huss never shys away from controversial topics, and this is about surviving against all odds.
I received a free copy from the author for an honest review.

This is probably the hardest review Iβve ever written. Why? Because words like βawesomeβ βgreat readβ βbest story Iβve read in a long timeβ just donβt do it justice. In her EOBS JA Huss says this book is not dark, it is about survival in a dark situation (this was my take on her words) and itβs so true. For Cort and Anya they were bred and hunted for a sex trafficking operation by two sadistic MOFOs. Their earliest childhood memories are of pain and desolation and the most depraved things ever done to human beings. And now as adults they are still slaves but they are alive. They have absolutely no control over who or what they are. Cort is a fighter whose only purpose is to fight to the death and earn his owner large sums of money. He is now 27 and is fighting his last fight for his freedom. Anya is part of the his prize pool but she is also a complication he didnβt plan on. Thatβs all Iβm going to say about this story except do yourself a favour and read it. In terms of this author I am blown away but the quality of writing and the story. I have read so much crap on Kindle that I get frustrated at all the shite writing. Then you come across something of this caliber and it makes you realise why you like reading. So JA Huss, thank you for this amazing story!

I have absolutely no words for this, my review wonβt give this book any justice!
Itβs seriously just one of those books, you need to jump in the deep end and read it.
Itβs incredibly heartbreaking, and puts light to our sick evil world.
At first I was so unsure how this could be a romance, but this author did not disappoint.
It is an extremely DARK book, but if you stick to reading it - you will enjoy the HEAβ₯οΈ
Definitely 5 βοΈ if I could give more, I certainly would.

J.A Huss has done it again, this a beautifully written story with many great characters.
It involves a topic that has come to light over the last to year for the first time for many people, but sadly itβs an issue that has been taking place for centuries.
Cort and Anya are true survivors of this brutal world, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive

I wondered where this book was going at first as as love story it didn't seem to follow the 'normal' way of love stories. In saying that it was obvious the connection between Cord and Anya from the beginning and lead me on a slow journey which I enjoyed immensely. I loved that parts challenged me to believe they were going to make it or not. Love comes in many forms and the underlying friendship of all parties cannot be dismissed as being an important factor which leads to these people to find their HEA. I think this book is one you could read a few times and find yourself pondering the what if! JA Huss never fails to deliver.

Wow I really donβt know what to say but Brilliant book once again. We have a very sick world out there that does anything for money and pleasure. Itβs a inside story to a fighting ring with sick people who breed kids for fighting . A story of survival and deep down love and also revenge. Thankyou for a great read.
