Recommendation
I don’t know how Gena does it, but she reforms a known man-whore with a sweet heroine who’s down on her luck. I loved Beck and Harlow’s story, their fighting, and friendship that leads into a relationship was both funny and heartbreaking at times. But they definitely had some uphill battles. Luckily, there is a great cast of supporting characters from the previous stories to help them out, bring comic relief, and insight to Beck and Harlow’s pasts. There was some suspense added towards the end that I felt added perfectly to the story, and I can’t wait to read the next book in this trilogy about 3 bad boys who move to a small town, overcome their demons to find their HEA. Then, the series starts another trilogy based in the same town with characters we’ve briefly met.
Publisher synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter is back with a sizzling Original Heartbreakers story featuring a troubled playboy and the woman he can't resist…
Beck O'ckley is ruthless in the boardroom…and the bedroom. He's never been with the same woman twice, and vows he never will. With a past as twisted as his, meaningless sex keeps the demons at bay. His motto: One and done. No harm, no foul.
Harlow Glass is the most hated girl in town. The beautiful artist is penniless, jobless and homeless. When she sneaks into Beck's home—her ancestral estate—for food, she's shocked by his early return…and her immediate, sizzling and intense attraction to him.
For the first time in Beck's life, he can't get a woman out of his mind. All too soon, friendship blooms into obsession and he'll have to break her heart…or surrender his own.
