A review by bookboyfriendandhusbandmake3
Coldhearted Heir by Michelle Heard
4.0
This was my first book by this author, I didn’t realize it was a second-generation type series although that didn’t make it hard to follow, it’s certainly its own series. I will be reading the original Trinity Academy series as soon as I can.
This book dives straight in with an emotional punch that brought tears to my eyes before I even knew the characters. Jade had been through a heartbreakingly tragic situation that left her devastated and without answers. She zeroed in on the anger she felt and directed it at Hunter who up until that moment she had a close friendship with.
My heart ached for Jade and Hunter. You could feel their connection simmering below the surface as they threw angry words back and forth like knives. I understood both of their reasons for behaving the way they were but it was also painful because under all that anger they still held affection for each other.
A stupid game. One kiss. Those seemingly minor instances send Jade and Hunter on an all new path that they never saw coming. That’s the moment the chemistry between them ignites into a divine slow burn of enemies to lovers with a dash of friends to lovers. After they call a truce and they realize the strain their animosity is putting on their friends they begin a more friendly share of banter and connection they share builds until the tension between them snaps and they realize what everyone else knew, they were made for each other.
I loved the romance between Jade and Hunter, but they also have a group of friends that are an important part of this. This had a different feel to, this is a group of college age young adults from wealthy families but it stands out from others that may be along those categories as this group comes from an upbringing that was overflowing with love. I really liked that this author made the love of these closely intertwined second-generation burst straight to my heart. I’m already looking forward to reading about every character in this group.
