Ruthless Hearts – Eve L. Mitchell – NextBookAroundTheCorner

She is his enemy. He is her nightmare.

Three football stars who have it all: looks, money, talent and the world at their feet. No one messes with the Devils. You’re either with them or against them…and you’d have to be stupid to be against them.

Ava isn’t stupid, but one night of being in the wrong place at the right time is coming back to haunt her. One of the Santo boys—Jett—is out for blood. Specifically, her blood. Thankfully, he doesn’t know who she is, and Ava plans to keep it that way.

Sophomore year threatens to stop Jett’s progression to the championships and, more importantly, his plan to play in the NFL. All because of some mystery blonde. But he has a plan: find the threat and eliminate the threat. Jett is ruthless in his pursuit to find the girl who threatens his career. They say there’s a thin line between love and hate, and neither is prepared for the consequences when they cross that line.

Three guys, three girls, one game. Are you ready to meet the Devils?

My review

Well, the title of this book is really accurate.

Jett Santo, nickname The Devils (together with his twin brother and his nephew), is a real ruthless guy. The Santo’s boys basically run the show at their college, while nearly every girl throws herself at their feet. Almost every girl, except Ava, who doesn’t want anything to do with them. Especially not after waking up in Jett’s bed with a major hangover and no recollection of how she got there. Fortunately, Jett doesn’t seem to recognize her, so Ava isn’t inclined to tell anyone of her nightly adventure. When the mysterious blonde from Jett’s bed is not found, it could cost Jett’s career in the NFL. So, he is determined to find her, with all means necessary. And a Santo is not afraid to fight dirty. Because he will eliminate this threat, no questions asked. But what will the Devils do, when they realize that there could be more sides to the story? A very thin line between love and hate, indeed. Four out of five stars from me and I’ll be on the lookout for Grey’s and Ash’ story in the next parts of the Devil series. with a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.
