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

by Michelle Heard (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 4,760 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.

    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

    This is a great start to a series I know I'm going to enjoy.
    These Guys the Screw Crew as they call themselves literally screw all the pretty girl's they can. It's a game, something to pass the time and have a little fun whilst doing it. They aren't hurting anybody.
    They don't want to settle down. Why deny themselves all that's on offer. Girls literally throw themselves at these guys.

    You might think these guys come across as A@@holes but there's more to them than that. They're actually really nice guys underneath all the arrogance.
    They are really loyal and protective to those they care about too.

    I'm definitely looking forward to reading more from this series. It was fun and I had a few laughs along the way.
    Carter really grew on me and I loved Della she's a feisty little thing that doesn't take crap from these guys.

    Bring on Marcus and Jaxson. I love these guys already.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2018

    This was my first book by Michelle Horst and it wasn’t my last.

    We first meet Della Trueman and Carter Hayes whilst they are in college. Della is totally focused on getting her degree in graphic design and wants nothing more than to provide her younger sister Jamie with the life she dreams of. Carter is part of the Screw Crew, five college guys playing the field. After a misunderstanding between Della and Carter he goes out of his way to show her why he has the name HEARTLESS. Although he fights it there is something that draws him to Della and no matter how hard he tries he knows he wants her. After one night together both their lives are changed forever, and nothing goes to plan.

    Della and Carter meet again 4 years later and it’s clear right from the start that their feelings towards each other haven’t changed although they now have something very much in common. She’s still the only woman he sees a future with but can he convince her and her family to take a chance on him?!? Let her see he’s no longer the player he once was.

    Loved this book can’t wait to read all of their stories. It’s a story of second chance love and a friendship that’s a brotherhood. Fab read.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 December 2020

    I’ve read the other reviews and they were mostly great, the plot seemed very interesting, so I was very disappointed with the book itself.
    First, let me just say that the plot IS kind of interesting but it moved so fast I couldn’t really connect with the characters. It was just scene - cut - scene. Maybe that’s only my preference, but I really like reading about characters’ emotions and their thoughts and I didn’t get it here.
    Maybe if I connected with them more, I wouldn’t have been SO annoyed with the fmc. Her actions were so incoherent and overly-dramatic, it physically hurt me.
    And what’s up with being in love after seeing somebody only 3 (?) times?
    And Rhett (whom I find quite interesting overall) being the bighest D-bag in history, then magically transforming himself to the patient and caring friend towards the fmc.

    Overall, I give it 3 stars because the first part of the book, when they were still in college, did pull me in and all things aside I enjoyed the author’s writing style.

    I will definitely check out other books by this author, because I genuinely think they seem interesting (I really really hope I won’t get disappointed again) and I hope they get better.

    ***5 AMAZING STARS!***

    OMG I read this story in one setting! It’s that kinda book you certainly don’t want to put down!

    We meet The Screw Crew – Carter, Marcus, Rhett, Jaxson & Logan, this story is based on Carter & Della the first couple..

    “Just remember I didn’t start this little game, you did.”
    “But I’m sure as hell going to finish it, babe.” ~ Carter

    Carter Hayes, Holy s**t balls!! He freely admits that he’s a heartless jerk but I can tell you that he’s fiercely loyal to those that matter to him! What more can you ask for right?? *Yum*

    Della Truman, Wow I just totally love her strength considering she’s got the whole world on her shoulders, she’s just as amazing & selfless person! I love her!

    OMG! I REALLY need to read the others like right now! All these guys have different personalities which just makes me wanting to know what makes them tick! So looking forward to the next one!

    *Pssst….. I’m officially a screw crew babe! The question is… Are you?? Lol*

    I’m a huge fan of this author’s writing, but hands down she just gets better as time goes by…

    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.

    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.
