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?

REVIEW
Carter's got issues because of his past and how he grew up, these have shaded his thoughts on women and dating and relationships - but Della sets off something in him that makes him want to change, after he gets over the fear of what she invokes in him.
Della's got her own struggles, she's working hard to make a life for not only herself but her little sister - though nobody knows what she's been through or what her future plans are. She's put aside the typical college things, like partying and playing around, but then she finally gives in to temptation and spends a night with Carter. If only things didn't go to crap after that.
Because of a lack of communication between Della and Carter, there's a huge misunderstanding which has them apart for many years. When these two find themselves in each other's zone again and the truths of the past all come out - well things are going to get interesting to say the least.
There's a lot to be worked through for both Della and Carter, but the chemistry between remains, even years later. Though there is anger and pain - on both their parts, you could see the bond that remained.
Heartless sucked me in and kept me engaged with the character, waiting to see how it would all work out, trying to look at the situation from both sides and make guesses at how it could have been different. I was right in the middle of the feels with the characters as they discovered everything and tried to find a way to move past the past and onward to the future.
