Heartless Beloved

North Shore Stories, Book 2

De: Lola King

Narrado por: Corvin King, Heather Firth

He is everything she's been warned against. She is everything he hates.

I'm from a place where you eat or get eaten. Two gangs are at war, and I'm hungry for survival.

Growing up in a broken town doesn't make you a good man. In fact, the North Shore of the Falls has made me merciless.

I survive because I'm a good soldier for the North Shore Crew. I'm cool-headed, I never lose sight of my goals, and my only obsession is to wrench our town from the clutches of our sworn enemies, the Kings.

Alexandra Delacroix is just a job. Plain and simple. She lives in our neighboring town, in the millionaires' heaven they call Stoneview.

The plan is straightforward: charm her, uncover incriminating information about her senator father, and tip the balance of power in our favor.

But unlike the other rich girls from Stoneview I use as toys, Alexandra is kind, selfless… sweet. Sickeningly so. A bright pink cupcake with glitter and sprinkles on the icing, that kind of sweet.

We have nothing in common. Nothing but the secrets we keep.

And before I know it, my priorities change.

Before I know it… Alexandra Delacroix is my new obsession.

This is book two in a series of interconnected standalones. For mature listeners.

Wow - I didn’t know I needed so many swifite references

Love love love all of it - the grumpy sunshine - the little actions that mean so much! This pulled at my heartstrings & the performance just made the book way better!

Best one in the series

I love Xi! I was hooked from the start and this book was the best in the series (my humble opinion). Swoon worthy.

Daddy issues

XI acts like her dad. she hates her father and loves hating XI. she has trauma but instead of therapy she gets f****d really hard... like degraded but in a sexy way not in a trauma way that her dad gives her.



you're welcome

My favorite in the series

Too be honest I wasn’t even gonna consider listening to this series after the nightmare of book one. But once I found out it the mmc was XI I immediately bought it. This was much more romantic and heartwarming. I liked that Alex grew a back bone and the twist she gave at the end.

Chefs Kiss

I loved this story so much. the good girl/bad boy vibes, the story line, the romance/violence..&& Xi?! Corvin gave another chefs kiss performance. Loved this story and audio so much!
