Heartless Beloved

North Shore Stories, Book 2

By: Lola King

Narrated by: 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.

loving this series on audio!

4.5 ⭐️ Oh snap, that twist! I low key expected something to be up, but certainly not to that extent! I ATE this book up and am loving this series! I knew I loved Xi and his protective side, but I also love how much he helps Alex come alive and to stand up for herself!

The audio is dual narration performed by Corvin King and Heather Firth and I listened to this book so quickly! Loved how perfect they were for these characters!

This story is owning my entire heart and the narration was incredible! Truly, I felt so immersed in this story and felt every emotion on this journey with the characters.

Holy smokes

This series is addictive. I love a good gang romance especially one with twists and turns.

Excellent writing and narration

I would give this book 10 stars if I could. Looking forward to the next one.

Sooo good!

I actually really loved this book. I loved Xi from the first book and this book just made me love him even more. You get to see another version of him in this book that just makes you fall in love with him. The little things he did for her and what he did to keep her safe. I also loved how he kind of rebuilt her. Gave her strength and made her take her power back. I loved the little sassy parts of Alex.
