“Hearts like hers” is the second book of the Seven Shores Series by Melissa Brayden, involving lesbians in love in Venice beach, featuring one of the amazing women from the breakfast group at Cat’s Pijamas ran by Autumn. If you have already read “Eyes like those” featuring Isabel and Taylor, you have already met the other amazing lesbian women living in Venice beach : Autumn, Gia and Hadley.
