Heartless (The Motel Brothers: Room for Love Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars 381 ratings

For James Motel and Levi Kadish, it's hate at first sight. Levi thinks James is an arrogant out-of-towner, and James thinks Levi is a smug local with an overblown opinion of himself. Together, the two of them are like oil and water, but Levi likes the way he feels when James looks at him, and James really loves the sound of Levi's voice when he says...

When he says those heartless things.

In the middle of a baking lesson James never wanted, the unresolved tension between Levi and him boils over, and James is left with more than rug burn. Levi's words are emblazoned in his heart, and he's eager for more.

Levi has never had something feel as right as his unconventional relationship with James, and when he finds himself with nowhere to go, he turns to the one man he knows who won't turn him away...even though he's the only man who should.

---

Heartless is #2 in the Room for Love series. It is a 67,000 word romance that explores an unexpected love, harsh words, soft hands, and some fun in the shower. Heartless has EVERYTHING you would expect from a Kate Hawthorne book...and more.

    I love Cherry Creek so hard. Knowing this is among the beginning of the journey in Cherry Creek makes my heart sing for what is to come. But, my-oh-my, James and Levi really did it for me. Theirs is a true enemies to lovers story. Their chemistry drips off the pages. Lots of passion, loads of bumps on their journey, but an ultimate HEA prevails. I loved the way Hawthorne wrote James and Levi's kinks. Humiliation isn't a kink that's as widely liked as others, and Hawthorne really writes it spectacularly here.

    I also enjoyed the character development and interactions between the side characters, and particularly the relationship between Levi and Simon. Well written, interesting characters and hot lovin! Strong recommend.

    James from the hotel and Levi, the local baker dislike each other from their first meeting. They see each other as arrogant and stubborn. Charlie the brother managing the hotel wants breads and pastries from the bakery. Simon, Levi's brother insists they need the hotel's contract in order to stay in business. So James and Levi are forced to work together but they are so hateful to the other. They have dirty angry sex but continue to say awful things to each other. This scenario is the reason for only a three star review. The mean things they say, the difficult to understand kink was unpleasant for me as the reader. The first book was good and I have already purchased all five books so I will continue the series but I just didn't enjoy this one as much as I have other books by this author.

    Kate Hawthorne plus enemies to lovers plus a kink we don't get to read very often? Yes, yes, please. This book hits every single button I have and then some.

    It was easy to see while reading Reckless who the next book was going to be about, James and Levi had explosive chemistry and I would have whined if they weren't the next book because I don't think the tension between them would have held.

    I love James. Everything about him. From his hot temper to his confusion over why he liked what he liked in bed. We saw in both Unfettered and Reckless that he was the brother who is the most unsettled. Getting to know him, it's easy to see why he's the one who's closest to Cameron. He might be a jerkvbut he loves his family and he's unapologetic about having an opinion, so you know you'll get the real him. Even when you wish he were a little more delicate about things. The only thing that made me not love him is the fact that he's a toast heathen.

    My heart went out for Levi, it really did. His temper burns as hot as James', they seem to bring out the best in each other, which at times can be seen as the worst. He loves his family as much as James loves his, though he only has his brother Simon. He loves his bakery, even if he wishes he had more freedom. He broke my heart every time he tried to connect with Simon and get on the same page as him. Every fight they had broke my heart, every ounce of insecurity made me want to wrap him up and take the hurt away.

    Levi and James almost set the bakery on fire when they finally give in to whatever has been brewing between them. It's hot and dirty. It's supposed to be a one-off to get rid of the tension between them, but how often does that work out? They quickly find themselves falling into something they have no control over. It's explosive and everything I love about enemies to lovers.

    Though Heartless is vastly different from Reckless it has the same undercurrent of family written into it. In book one, Cameron's wish to have his family around was so strong you could feel it roll off the pages. Here, you learn more about the brothers and see that the same need is reflected in all of them, even if it's not as obvious. Both Levi and James struggle to find their places in their respective families, though both of them have very different experiences. I love that both books have that thread of connection between them and cannot wait for the other books. There's a lot to unpack between the Motel brothers and I hope that the other books help bring them together because so far I am loving all the brothers.

    Strong emotions and long-buried hurt seem to be the themes of this book. James Motel is forced to live with his brothers in the family hotel for a year in order to gain their inheritance. He's frustrated, angry, abrasive, and impolite. When he attempts to purchase baked goods from Levi's baker, Levi refused to sell to him based on his rude behavior. Levi is also at odds with his observant brother Simon, who wants to run a kosher bakery. Since James and Levi have to deal with each other for business, they both begin to feel a sort of angry lust. Can they find a deeper relationship when they are mostly adversaries? This book has a lot of humiliation kink, which is handled in a really unique and interesting way, as it's new to both of them. The book also has family love, community support, and an all-consuming love.

    The second book in this compelling series was written just as well as the first! Ms. Hawthorne has a way of making her characters sexy and relatable.

    James - The a-hole brother in the family. Pushing everyones buttons because he can...Until Levi.
    Levi - The amazing baker, complicated family dynamic and newly found friend of Cameron's.

    Levi pushes James to the point of breaking, but in a way that James never expected. Now James is questioning what he thinks of himself and wondering if he has always been this way or if he has finally found someone who can give him what he needs. While Levi is able to give James what he needs he finds himself resisting that this might be more then a quick moment.

    Although I enjoyed reading the journey of James and Levi, the kink in the book pushed passed my limit of comfort. I truly enjoy the main parts of their story and was able to work past some of the scenes I had issues with because Kate is such a wonderful writer. I cannot wait for the next one in the series!

    This book pushed some of my kink limits but it was so well written that I wasn't turned off by it at all. The story itself was emotional when we learn where the characters come from. It also makes you want a Simon's story...that you can read as it was written by E.M Lindsay.

    I am so in love with Cherry Creek and having at least 2 authors writing in that world at the same time gives hours of enjoyment
