Callous Heir by Michelle Heard

5.0

Callous Heir is Noah West and Carla Reyes' story, two people who are always at each other's throats.

Warning: The books in this series feel the best when read in order.

Synopsis:
Carla has always been googly-eyed for Noah, but thinking of her as younger than him and a dreamer against his practical self, he always ignores her. At Trinity Academy, their group of friends share the same suite and it's practically impossible to not run into each other. What happens when Noah realises that he does have feelings for Carla?

Review:
I really enjoyed Carla and Noah sniping at each other almost every chance they got in the last book, and I couldn't wait to read their story. The story starts from when Carla was fifteen and Noah twenty. And how Noah gutted her by brutally turning down her declaration of love for him.

Carla is Jase Reyes' sister, Jase from [b:Arrogant Heir|56181285|Arrogant Heir (The Heirs #2)|Michelle Heard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1607269085l/56181285._SY75_.jpg|73908524], and I just knew that I'll love this book too! And Noah, well, we saw his caring side when he was with Kao after the latter's accident, as we read in [b:Defiant Heir|56344809|Defiant Heir (The Heirs #3)|Michelle Heard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1608448069l/56344809._SY75_.jpg|73462997].

Callous Heir runs parallel to the previous book, [b:Loyal Heir|56531298|Loyal Heir (The Heirs #4)|Michelle Heard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1611890218l/56531298._SY75_.jpg|73462998]. And I'd have loved to see, instead of reading, Carla's impersonations of her favourite animated movie characters. They seem to be that fun! Noah, with an IQ as high as his, has quite the dirty fantasies about Carla and fears that he is not the guy for her. Her being too innocent, as well as the way his complex brain works.

It was so sweet, seeing Noah struggling with what he felt, or if he even felt anything like love. And Carla, I felt sad for her, as Aria and Forest getting together seemed to break their three musketeers group and made her feel lonely.

But of course, it all turns out for the good in the end, even though there are quite some major hiccups along the way. These hiccups made the story more interesting though. Two things were the best in this story, the beautiful emotions and when the dirty fantasies were enacted. Yep!

Next up is [b:Sinful Heir|56900402|Sinful Heir (The Heirs #6)|Michelle Heard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1612115401l/56900402._SY75_.jpg|73908487], Tristan Hayes and Hana Cutler's story.

Thank you to Candi Kane PR for an e-ARC of the book.
