Heartless

Written by Jade West

Narrated by Tor Thom and Desiree Ketchum

In a single moment, she becomes my obsession... 

Elaine Constantine will be mine. And her destruction is only my beginning. 

I’ve known all my life that the Constantines deserved to be wiped from the face of the earth, only a smoking crater left where their mansion once stood. That’s my plan until I see her, the woman in gold with the sinful curves and the blonde curls. My will to dominate her runs as deep as the hate I have for her last name. 

No matter how beautifully she bends beneath my hands, I'll leave her shattered, a broken toy for her cruel family.

Reviews for Heartless

[judy griffin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

5 stars. Download 3 books at the same time as it’s one story divided into 3 books.1.Heartless. 2.Soulless.3.Relentless. Not sure if there’s,what’s considered a spoiler, ahead: book one, Heartless, first shocked me .. almost stopped book because of the sadism and infliction of pain … blood, bruises, marks on the body was new to me and certainly not normal BDSM. It made more sense after i learned that H was born with the abnormality of inability to feel physical pain…he was beaten and stabbed.. example…a knife stabbed completely thru his hand with no sense of pain. He was abused and learned by accident how to use his inability to feel physical pain to his advantage in sports and then with women who desired to have pain inflicted upon them. The H and h were emotionally dead at the time they met. They were instantly drawn to each other. Throughout story the secondary characters were important to the plot. In book 2 it was explained why the H and h were perfect for each other. Book 3 was my favorite in the trilogy.

4.5 stars, maybe?

it's so interesting to read this world in jade west's writing coming from k. webster's (rather immature and painful) version. it's much darker, everyone has more secrets, and i overall felt that i wasn't being spoon-fed dialogue and developments like webster likes to do. the constantine/morelli rivalry was much more intense, everyone was harsher and crueler in this than they were in the cinderella books. lucian is the anti-hero that webster THOUGHT winston was. he's pretty awful, and although he has a lot of money, he doesn't really wield it around and hide behind it the way winston is prone to. he's sneakier and more cunning than winston, and not afraid to do any dirty work. this makes him much more intimidating and chaotic than winston ever was.

i think this is a 4.5 and not a 5 for me because of this disparity, jade west taking her liberties with these characters is an improvement from webster's books, but it definitely causes some confusion. like where are winston, ash, and perry? do these books all coincide, are they prequels, are they sequels, etc? there's no way to know, and not having any sort of indication of what exactly the timeline here is is distracting.

as far as lucian and elaine go, i'm really excited to see what happens! lucian is psycho, but if elaine is into it then i won't cause a fuss about it lol. can't wait to see what goes down between the two families when they find out what elaine and lucian have done. this book has got to be a romeo and juliet retelling, but uhhh hopefully these two don't both die.
