“I love a good suspenseful mystery, and this book delivered. The plot was compelling, keeping me eager to know what happened next. Though I guessed some twists, it didn’t lessen my enjoyment. The writing was clear, and the medical information was well-handled, neither overwhelming nor dumbed down. As a healthcare worker, I appreciated the balance. I’d read more from LePort for a fun, easy read.”

—StoryGraph

“The sheer depth of the book’s descriptions made me feel like I was watching a movie on TV. The conversations felt so real. The characters, the locations, the emotions, and even the smells were cleverly depicted. I enjoyed the way the chapters were laid out, jumping from one character's perspective to another. This not only kept the writing exciting, but I could literally see the camera panning from one character to another as a film director would do. The story itself is very original. The plot made sense even though it was clear the author has medical knowledge. Even a reader with no such knowledge could follow along without a problem. Because so much was going on in this book, I not only remained interested but wanted to read on. There were a number of twists and turns that I hadn’t expected. A really good read (five stars), with a good combination of crime, mystery, and a little teeny bit of romance, CHANGE OF HEART would make an excellent film!”

—Caron Williams, Netgalley Reviewer from the UK

“With medical authenticity that enhances this twisty page-turner, LePort has crafted a gripping medical thriller. It explores the terrifying possibilities of cyber-hacking in hospitals, particularly the heart transplant list, while telling a tale of found family and reconnecting with those taken for granted. The secondary story question—whether our jobs are worth jeopardizing our health—resonates deeply, especially in healthcare. With likable characters and satisfying plot twists, CHANGE OF HEART will have you questioning: What would you sacrifice for your family, and would it be enough?”

—JL Lycette, MD, Author of THE ALGORITHM WILL SEE YOU NOW

 "LePort's talent lies in weaving deep medical knowledge with a pace that will keep you up way past your bedtime. No spoilers here, but her jaw-dropping twists will leave your heart racing."
