When I read the teaser for The Heartbreaker, I immediately knew that I would enjoy the book. Seriously. I just knew. So when it came time to finally read it, I was all in. I was ready to escape into this new adult romance.
Jagger and Josephine (Jo) have known each other for most of their lives. After all their parents are very close friends, and are frequently together. So it is of no surprise that Jagger and Jo are attending the same college. One night they both attend a party, and it is at that party where everything changes. Their friendship is over. Jo begins dating Lawrence, and they are together for 3 years. Meanwhile Jagger becomes all about the casual hookup, and avoids relationships all together. Not to mention he is focused on football and school. Fast forward a bit and Jo and Lawrence's relationship is over. Jo is also looking for a new place to live, and has found a great spot. Too bad Jagger has also found that spot, and it is looking like they are going to be roomies.
The Heartbreaker was just so good. So good. I marked this as 4 stars on Goodreads, but really I'd say it's more of a 4.5. Honestly, I probably would have given it a 5, but that whole situation with Jo and Lawrence with the car just didn't sit right with me. That was enough for me to say no to a 5. Actually that whole situation had me a little ticked. Like WHY? Why would you do that? Seriously? Moving on from that. Loved the relationship that Jo had with Jagger. Loved the connection that both had with their families. I also really appreciated how Jo's family had her working off some of the cost for the car situation. And of course I loved the ending, and how that all happened. The one thing I do wish had happened was Lawrence stepping up to right the wrong. That would have been amazing.
If you like sports romance, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, roommates, and/or the college setting, then I highly suggest picking up The Heartbreaker by Claire Contreras. I loved just about every moment of it.
Thank you for reading my thoughts,
They say you never forget your first.
Falling for my roommate is a terrible idea.
The Heartbreaker by Claire Contreras is now live!
Over the years, I’ve tried to pay no attention to every wicked rumor I heard about him, even though deep down I knew they weren’t just rumors. Unable to face the consequences of what we’d done, if we were ever in close quarters, I ran in the other direction. If we were coincidentally put in the same class, I dropped it. Avoidance was the name of the game and so far I was winning.
That is, until we’re assigned the same co-ed apartment.
Living with Jagger during my last semester was definitely not in my plans, but I’m determined to make it work. As long as I don’t look at him for too long or let his innuendos get under my skin, I should be fine, right? I have to be.
They say hooking up with your roommate can be messy, and losing my heart to Jagger would be disastrous.
