From International Bestseller Michelle Heard, comes a new, sexy novel in the Enemies To Lovers series.
I’m warned that Carter Hayes is heartless.
He’s part of the screw crew.He’ll just use you and leave you.He’s ruthless and always gets what he wants.
Just look for the trail of broken hearts and dreamy sighs, and you’ll find him.
“Hot as sin, Carter.”
I don’t have time to fall head over heels for any guy. Besides, he’d never notice someone like me. I have a three-step plan. Get through college. Get a job. Get my sister out of the hell hole I left her in. That’s all I have time for.
That’s until I hear of the betting pool the guys started. Whoever screws me first gets the money. The moment Carter looks at me, I know it’s only because of the bet.
I tell myself our first kiss is only for show.I hate my heart for falling for his irresistible charm.
For one foolish moment, I actually want him to be my first earth-shattering love. All it takes for me to give in is a little attention, a cocky smile, and a fake promise of a happily-ever-after.
When I’m surrounded by crumpled sheets and the smell of sex, I realize I let him have me for four hundred dollars.
To save what little pride I have left, I pretend it didn’t mean anything, that he’s just one last screw before we all leave college.
I’ve spent the last four years lying to myself. When I’m ready to take the final step of my plan, and save my sister, guess who walks through my front door?
This is book #1 in the Enemies To Lovers Series. Each book in the series is about a different couple. To get the full experience of their friendship, I'd recommend that you start with Heartless.
This is one of those reads that had so much promise. And, actually, I thought it was pretty adorable in some spots.
My only issue with Heartless was that I felt like it was a tad contrived and unrealistic in some places. The way all of the characters seemed to relate to the child in the story just seemed a little bit fake to me. By that, I simply mean, she was extremely precocious and aware for her age. But, I get that kids are like that. It just rubbed me the wrong way how that particular character was portrayed in the story.
I also feel like that Carter Hayes we get in the first part of the story is a completely different Carter than the rest of the book. And, I’ll grant that some years have gone by. But, it was so serious a change in tone that I didn’t even recognize him as the same man from the beginning.
Because I like to end on a good note, however, I will say that there were some absolute adorable parts in this story. And…swoon. There was some definitely swoon-worthy moments between Carter and Della.
And, Della, herself, was one heck of a main character. She didn’t really get much growth through the story. But, I think this is because she was pretty set in being a stand-up human being from page one.
I’m not sure if I’m going to read the second in the series. I may, but, if I do… I’m hoping for a little something more.
