Southern Heartbreaker

Charleston Heat, Book 4

De: Jessica Peterson

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Emma Wilder

He was the bad boy I fell for in college. Now he’s a sexy single dad and Charleston’s most successful venture capitalist. Dominant and decisive, Ford Montgomery is used to getting what he wants. And he just set his sights on me... Ford Montgomery was my first everything.

First love. First guy I slept with. First heartbreak when he dumped me without explanation. A decade later, it’s just my luck he’s the first guy I run into after moving back to my hometown of Charleston. Three piece suit, tie, and a watch worth more than my car—being a mogul looks good on Ford. So does being a doting dad to his adorable four-year-old daughter. I tell myself I can resist him. But one impulsive, ill-advised kiss later, and Ford is in hot pursuit.

He’s determined to make up for his past mistakes, and convinces me to give him a second chance. What started as fun between the sheets gets really serious, really fast. Problem is, I swore I’d never give up the dreams I worked so hard for to settle down and do the family thing. But seeing Ford light up around his daughter—seeing how he’s chasing his ambitions while rocking fatherhood—is making me rethink what I want out of life. It doesn’t help that behind his corporate veneer is the bad boy I fell in love with. And bad boys aren’t afraid to play dirty...or break hearts.

Let’s rant, shall we? Loved the rest of the series but skip this one. 👎🏻

The FMC was the absolute worst. Spoilers at the very bottom.

Very immature, super emotionally unaware and kept saying, “I’ve never thought about it like that,” every time the MMC said any obvious thing. 🤦‍♀️

GIRL. What. In. The. HELL??? All of your friends in the other books are badasses- you, YOURSELF gave excellent advice in the other books in this series, and then in your book you suck as a human.

*******Spoiler alert*********

she gets sick bc she was around 4 yr old kids and then decides she doesn’t want to be a step mom because of it. Yeah. 🙄🙄 It’s the FMC’s fault she procrastinates her OWN book deadline, but when the kids get her sick right before the book is due, she decides she can’t be a stepmom bc “ew germs.” Everyone knows kids are petri-dishes, but sure, use that as an excuse for your existential crisis.

There’s a lot of stupid crap like this in the book. The dad is hot. He’s a delight, but this FMC RUINED the books. The other 3 in this series were 5 star reads for me, too.

Poor writing. Boooo.
