A Dark and Sexy, Enemies-to-Lovers, Sports Romance from USA Today and International Bestselling Author, Rachel Leigh.

Rome Cromwell isn’t just football royalty in our town.

He’s a heartless monster out for revenge,

And I'm the ordinary girl with his target on her back.

One year ago my knight in shining armor stepped out of the fog and rescued me.

With a simple thank you and an “I owe you one”, I was on my way.

Little did I know, that was only the start of our deranged story.

Now our parents are married and we’re living under the same roof.

Rome presents himself as a masked villain with strikingly good looks and a hypnotic appeal.

Girls want him.

His friends want to be him.

But I only want to run from him.

I see beneath his cracked facade into the heart of the beast.

He blames me for the fight that left his football career in shambles.

And he hasn’t forgotten I’m in his debt.

Now his claws are digging in so deep, I fear I won't survive.

Rome no longer wants to save me.

He only wants to own me.

To break me.

Piece by piece by piece.

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀:
This book follows Elodie Astor & Rome Cromwell. These two first meet at a party, in which Elodie pushes Rome into a pool. And after leaving the party, Elodie finds herself in a position, in a town she’s just visiting, where she can’t get out of until her mysterious knight and shining armor comes to her rescue. Flash forward one year where these two are now becoming step siblings and Rome HATES Elodie and she doesn’t know the real reason why. He hates her so much that he bullies her and gets everyone at the school to do the same. But Elodie takes it in stride and fights back…that is until lines get crossed and the truth about that night one year ago comes to light.

Damnnnn…another infinity stars added!!!! This was my first time reading a book by Rachel Leigh and it definitely will not be my last (I also realized I had a series by her on my tbr for a hot minute, kind of upset I didn’t read them earlier 😂). But seriously do yourself a favor and read!!! this!!! book!!! Wowww, I was pleasantly surprised on how much I loved it and I was hooked from the very beginning. I normally don’t read a lot of bully romances but this book might just change my mind on that. I absolutely loved how strong of a person that Elodie was, she was not afraid to stand up for herself…QUEEN ENERGY!!! I have so much more I want to say but everything will be spoiled so just read it if you are a fan of bully romance and taboo (step-siblings).

Are you kidding me I mean come on can this book get any better. I absolutely loved it I read it so darn fast i didn’t even realize it til I was on the last page. This is definitely a kinda weird sour patch situation with Rome. He was hella rude and then sweet then next so yes sour patch. I hated how they meet because it costed Rome so much and well trying to be the hero just made him a bit resentful towards Elodie hence his treatment towards her at times. However the way he felt for her over took him and that’s when the sweet came out. Oh I must say I really didn’t like the whole stepsister thing but regardless of that I really enjoyed this book.

God, I loved Elodie and Rome's book so much. Elodie's mom takes her and her sisters on a little trip to Willow Creek. Elodie ends up going to a party with her sister. She's talking to this guy but while talking to him, he makes out with a girl then starts talking to her again. Elixir walks away but the guy goes to grab her and she knees him and pushes him in the pool then leaves. Elixir ends up lost and in a strange park. Next thing she knows these guys start harassing her and one in particular is going to assault her. Some guy comes to the rescue and tells her to run. Elixir does and fears for the guy because there on one so she calls the cops.

A year goes by and Elixir ends up moving to Willow Creek because her mom gets married. The girls end up with step brothers and one in particular, Rome, seems to hate Elodie. Rome keeps bullying Elodie and tells her she's ruined his life. He makes it his mission to ruin her.

Rome for in trouble for assault and had his football scholarship to UCLA revoked and is benched at his high school. Rome is so mad at Elodie but you can feel the chemistry between these two and it's off the charts. More comes out about why Rome feels the way he does. Also, someone is sending scary messages to Elodie. Will Rome and Elodie find a way to be together and forgive each other? Read this book to find out. Thank you Rachel for this book. Amazing read. Can't wait for another character's book.

Rome blames Elodie for ruining his life a year ago. Elodie isn’t sure why Rome seems to hate her, but she’s not about to take his crap either.

I love an angsty enemies-to-lovers story. Especially when it involves step-siblings. Rome and Elodie’s story was so good. They tried so hard to hate each other, but in the end, their feelings for each other won out. I love how Elodie stood up to Rome and didn’t let him walk all over her. Rome was so sweet after he pulled his head out. Their story was cute and I can’t wait to read the next book.

LOVED Rome and Elodie!!

I absolutely LOVED this one and it sucked me in and I wouldn't let go of me. Heartless Monster has a ton of tropes that I love and even though it's a standalone, I want more!

Rome and Elodie have some history, so when they're thrust together, there's a lot of tension. I feel like Rome is justified in what he does, but I also want to shake him at times and tell him to talk to Elodie. With it being a standalone, it is a slow burn, but I was living for the angst.

I feel like the meanest ones are always the hardest to fall. We watch Rome go from bad boy, king of the school to having some softness, but only for Elodie. Elodie also grows in this one. She has a backbone and stands up to people, but she has to come to terms with with an incident she's trying to forget. When these two finally come together, it's fireworks and so natural.

I wish it was longer, but only because I don't want to leave them. Their story is complete and they have their HEA, but I am 100% in love with these two and will stick with me for a long, long time.

Incredible

“Heartless monster” by Rachel Leigh is the bully romance you’ve all been waiting for. If you’re a fan of bully romances and step siblings then you’re in for an extra special treat with this wonderful story.

Rachel Leigh knocked this story right out of the park. There is nothing that Rachel can’t write. I devoured this incredible work of art and I just couldn’t get enough.

Rome Cromwell had it all he was the star football player of his team. Until one night his world turned on its axis and he lost everything he’d worked so hard for. When Rome comes face to face with the girl he saved a year ago he vows to make her pay for costing him his future.

Elodie and Romes romance was everything I didn’t know I needed. I cannot wait to see what Rachel Leigh gives us next. I can’t recommend this story enough.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Rome and Elodie didn’t realize that their first meeting would change the course of their lives.

A year later, Elodie finds herself back on the town that they met after her mom remarries and she has to move in with her new step father and his sons.

“ I’ve never had a girl linger on my mind the way she does. “

One of her new brothers is , Rome, and while they didn’t have the best meeting, she doesn’t understand why he has such animosity towards her. That night took everything away from Rome and now that Elodie is back on his orbit, he is determined to make her pay.

“You’re safe now, Freckles.”

Elodie is trying to move on from that night but can’t because Rome is constantly tormenting and bullying her. The only thing is, he is the only one allowed to get his revenge and when he finds out that someone else is targeting Elodie and truth comes out about that night comes out, that’s when the lines start to blur.

“ I have to say, this version of you is my favorite.”

It’s a race against the clock to figure out who is trying to hurt her and as these two get closer you can’t help but feel for them and their struggles. Rome has such a hard exterior but when he finally lets those walls down and really let the people in who are trying to help him, it had me speechless.

“I might need to lock you up because all the guys are gonna want a piece of this.”

I really enjoyed this read and I can’t wait to continue with these series cause there were so many secondary characters that intrigued me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 Stars) Rome + Elodie

This is new author to me and she writes her storyline’s well. There is no confusing characters or confusing storyline’s with minimal editing mistakes. I enjoyed the story for what it was. A but is spice, a bit of drama and romance.

Much drama

Reviewed in Canada on April 22, 2024

Verified Purchase

This book would be the perfect miniseries or a few episodes of a teen drama. It’s quite teen-ish. It did start pretty good, but then I think the rest, maybe I wasn’t in the right mindset. Some stuff was a little petty and I think if you took out the spice, it would’ve been more of a YA novel.

I do enjoy this author’s storytelling and I feel like by putting myself into that younger mindset I could definitely see the drama and the dilemmas unfolding. I think that if this took place in a college setting I probably would have related to it a bit more but since it involved seniors in high school, less so.

Don’t get me wrong, I can read a seniors in high school novel and get into it. I just feel that the lack of communication and some of the dialogue didn’t appeal to me as much. It’s an easy read and I know some friends that would absolutely love this book, it’s not my favorite of the author’s and that’s OK. I’ll definitely be reading her next book and I’m looking forward to seeing what she puts out next.
