Heartless (An Enemies To Lovers Novel Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Michelle Heard (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 4,734 ratings
#18 AMAZON BESTSELLER
#1 Bestseller in New Adult & College

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.

  1. Love? It’s a fairytale some person made up, so they didn’t have to face the cold, hard fact that we are all alone. You come into this world alone, and you leave it alone. Loneliness, it’s the one the thing we fear most. It means you’re forgotten, you’ve been rejected, or you’re overlooked.

  2. “You will never talk to me like that again. I’m your daughter’s aunt. I changed your daughter’s diapers instead of getting sleep for my exams. I filled your shoes and you will respect me for that.”

  3. “I’m a control freak. I want to make it clear that you’re mine. I won’t share. No matter what happens or how long it takes for us to get to know each other, you need to know that you’re mine.”

    I started Heartless with the expectation of it being a college aged romance but that is not what the book is even though it does start off when the characters are in college.
    It is a fast paced, whirlwind of attraction, confessions, miscommunication, fast declarations and some full on dramatic moments (that to me felt like they came out of leftfield). With all this going on it gave off a sense of wham bam thankyou ma'am, and it all happened so fast I didn't have enough time to actually build a connection with Della and Carter. I felt like we just skimmed the surface of who they were and issues were quickly and easily resolved. I would have like a bit more depth.
    It was easy to read and I was able to finish in one sitting, it provided light entertainment.

    All their banter from the beginning, makes it a good read,a group of friends that have a strong bond that makes them like family. Carter met his match with Delia who's life ain't been easy n gets harder before it brightens again. A sad ending of a nice night that leads to a few hiccups before finally it's a happy for them

    5.0 out of 5 stars although Carter doesn’t do relationships due to believing that every woman will leave like his mother did
    Reviewed in Australia on 30 August 2017
    Carter comes from money and is part of the Screw Crew – every woman wants them and every man want to be one of them, although Carter doesn’t do relationships due to believing that every woman will leave like his mother did, giving him the nickname Heartless.
    Della works at the local diner while trying to finish college and make a life for her and her family.
    When the Screw Crew comes to the diner there is an instant attraction between Della and Carter, although Carter tries to deny it by being mean to her. After coming to Della’s rescue a few time Carter lets her know how he feels only for Della to say that she can’t while she has exams and finishing college, all Della wants to do is give her family a better life.
    After exams Della realises that she may never see Carter again she head to he’s hour and has the best moment of her life, until she hears a phone call that has her leaving and returning home, although she doesn’t realise till later the secret she takes home with her.
    Four years later they meet again, the chemistry is still there between the two of them but they have secrets and issues to work through before they can get to their happily ever after. You meet the other characters from the Screw Crew and I can’t wait to read their stories.

I love the brother type relationship in a big group of guy friends so I can’t wait to see them all get their happy endings!

    Michelle Heard is brilliant! I love everything about her books. Della and Carter's story was so special, I was not expecting that intensity. Be prepared because you are going to cry, but you are not going to get sad about it. I just wish that they didn't have to be apart for so long. I totally recommend this book.

    Michelle has done it again, written a book that you will absolutely fall in love with and become immediately addicted too. Loved all the characters in this book they were completely lovable and ones you become hooked on.

    I really enjoyed the premise of the Screw Crew, the tightknit group of 5 guys who had a strong bond like family, they come across as complete manwhores but really they have a heart of gold for anyone that gets past that security circle around them.

    Carter Hayes, a member of the Screw Crew, is nicknamed Heartless as he has shown himself quite ruthless when going after people he sees as having wronged his brothers. Unfortunately he has now set his heartless sights and mean barbs in Della's direction as he cant help but admit that he actually likes her at first.

    Of course as communication between Della and Carter is absolutely awful they end up parting ways after the best night of their lives because of misunderstandings and events beyond their controls.

    Fast forward to their unexpected reunion 4 years later where truths are revealed, and their attraction and chemistry is still there, sizzling between them waiting to explode. They have 4 years to catch up on and make up for.

    I loved all the boys in the Screw Crew so I am looking forward to each of their stories, especially Logan and Rhett's
