See all formats and editions

A ROLLERCOASTER OF ENEMIES TO LOVERS WITH YOUR FAVOURITE ANTI-HERO!

"She doesn't know it yet, but she is already his."

He kidnapped me.
That was how I met Atlas Hyde.
A man known by many names and admired by all.
But most didn't know he was ruthless, conniving, and always got what he wanted.
No matter the cost.

I was a good girl.
Never in trouble with the law.
Never took drugs.
Always did precisely what was expected of me.

Even with his hand around my throat and words that cut sharper than knives, I couldn't help but wonder what happened to this beautiful man to make him that way.

That wonder disappeared when he threatened to kill my sister if I didn't follow his dark demands.

The good girl I once knew had now been buried alive beneath this game of hatred and lust.
And I had a feeling Atlas Hyde never lost.

Irresistible Bad Boy!

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

The author delivers one sexy, irresistible anti-hero that you will LOVE!!! And an ending that left me stunned!

Thea never expects to be kidnapped by the hottest guy she has ever seen. Her troubled sister really did it this time and now Thea is tasked with paying the debt to save her sister’s life.

Thea is sassy. She doesn’t care about the power that Atlas holds, she won’t take his crap. She’ll work off the debt, but she bends for no man. She is a successful, hard-working, good girl. She never expected to be in this situation. So what if she can’t stop thinking about tearing his clothes off? She just wants her life back.

Atlas is a force. He wields power like a seasoned warrior. He knows what he wants and he knows exactly how to get it. Thea was just supposed to be a means to an end. Nothing more, nothing less. He never expected her to get under his skin, so much so that he wanted to keep her.

The author will make you want him, even though you know he’s bad for you. Atlas is complex and won’t show his hand easily. Loyalty and the truth are things he demands. He is not a man you want to cross, but he is a man you can’t resist. Thea does her best, but even she cannot deny their chemistry. These two together are smokin’ hottt! Atlas is not an easy man to live with, but is he the man Thea can’t live without? Get swept into this enemies to lovers dark romance that will leave you shocked.

Characters are awesome!

This was the first book I've read by Smith and it won't be the last if I find her books in the future they happen to be free. I pay for a kindle membership and don't see the point in paying for books on top of that when I can find ones that are free.

Now for the book I loved the characters in it. I loved Atlas he was your typical bad ass, Thea (Theadora which btw I hated that name. It reminds me of a name from the 1800s. Eberytime it came time to reading it it just felt weird haha) she was sweet, loving, caring, wore her heart on her sleeve and put the ones she loved before herself. I loved her character. I also love her best friend Tina. She's awesome!!!!! I wish I had a friendship like that. That's the exact kind of friend I am and always have been and it sucks that I never found a great friend that isn't fake.

Great first book in the Heartbreak Duet!

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020

This is the first book I have read by T.L. Smith and it will not be my last. The first book in the Heartbreak Duet had me hooked! I do not know how I missed this author and I plan to rectify that once I finish the next book in this duet.

“Lucy stole over a million dollars from me, Theodora. You will help me get that back. Or else
Lucy will forget to breathe.”

I have read a book recently similar to this storyline that I liked so I was not going into this book thinking it could match that. I was wrong. The one thing I tend to hate about dual POV’s is knowing too much of the hero’s feelings too soon especially when you have a dark romance like this. Luckily, that was not the case here. While we got both POV’s, Atlas’ feelings for Thea was not fully shown and we were left in the dark just at Thea was.

A devil doesn’t show his hand. He plays his cards until the winning hand is revealed. I think
she may be my favorite playing card yet. And I plan to play every move possible when it
comes to her.

The plot in this book had me on the edge of my seat. At no point was I ever comfortable with the status of Atlas and Thea’s “relationship.” I do not mean this in a bad way. I was so invested in this story that I could not put the book down. The plotline was not just about the characters getting together but there was depth that kept the reader intrigued the whole time.

When his lips touch me, I feel like I’m on fire, and the only way to put me out is with him.
Only him.

I wanted to slap Thea and tell her that her sister probably would not have gone this far for her, but you have to respect her loyalty. I love that she was a strong heroine. While she was being forced into this situation, she did stand up for herself and most likely would have helped Lucy whether she was forced to or not. Lucy must be the worst sister in history, and I have a feeling this will not be the last we see of her.

I feel like although Thea was giving Atlas a chance, she was not going into this thinking it would ever be anything real. I wish we got to know more about her past to make her this way. She is not your typical heroine thinking that the hero will fall for her. There is a hardness to her, and she is not the type of woman who will let you have her heart easily. I hope we get to see more into her past in book two.

“Heartbreak me, and I will heartbreak you, Atlas Hyde. I’ve had enough of that to last me a
lifetime, and the next time someone hurts me, I won’t sit by idly and just let them.”

Atlas was like a puzzle to me. Every time I thought I knew how he felt he would do something that would make me question everything. It was obvious that he wanted Thea, but I could never tell whether it was just as a possession or if he cared about her. That is what made this book so good. I felt so many emotions and I imagine it will continue in the next one.

“When something is mine, no one can have it, want it, or even think about hurting it.”

I was a little thrown off by how I pictured Atlas and the cover model. He is not hard on the eyes, do not get me wrong but I just imagined him to look bigger and more intimidating. Besides that, I loved this book. That cliffhanger had me angry, upset, asking so many questions and anxious to start book two. Luckily, I was able to start it right away or else I do not know how I would have waited.

Suspenseful, Addicting, Spine Tingling read!

Wow! Just Wow! Atlas and Theodora are amazing. Thea finds herself tied up in her sister's mess and now she will do anything to fix it for her. Thea is being taken into a dark world that she’s not used to being in and tries her best to survive. Atlas is not a good man and he’ll tell you that but he’s mildly obsessed with Thea and can’t leave her alone. They don’t like each other, that’s what they say, but who knows maybe it’s true? Their story is tumultuous, suspenseful, sexy and hot on every level and definitely one that will go down as an epic love story. There are secrets and lies, evil lurking around the corner, just waiting to tip the scale in their favor. What happens when the unspeakable happens? Thea told him not to leave her heartbroken and if he did she would heartbreak him. Excellent read, can’t wait for the next book.

LOVE this book so much...

Heartbreak Me had me captivated from the blurb. This book is addictive and gritty and I couldn’t put it down. T.L. Smith is synonymous for her typical Anti-Hero’s and Atlas Hyde is absolutely no exception. She writes her male leads in such a way that you can help but love and hate them at the same time. I do enjoy this element of her writing, they also each have a great back story which comes to the forefront as you delve deeper into the book.

Theadora is the perfect female lead, she’s got sass and she isn’t afraid to push the boundaries a little with Atlas...or as much as he’ll let her. These two leads have explosive chemistry and I can’t wait for the next book in this duet. We need more Atlas & Theadora.

This is this years must click book, it’s got a little of everything in there and will appeal to many. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Kidnapping Trope - Oh Atlas... he was just perfection! T.L Smith is an amazing writer and really took her time for developing this character throughout the book. You hate him but cant help but route for him at the same time. The book is written in both POVs which I love because I want to know what he is thinking too. Thea is tough as nails and has strong will. Love me a strong women who doesn't take the brutality from the anti-hero. Highly recommend. This book can be finished in one sitting easily... I did :) Spice 3/5

Bien que je n'attendais pas beaucoup d'un livre de 300 pages à peine, je pensais aux vues des reviews et recomendations que je passerais un bon moment de lecture, malheureusement ce ne fut pas vraiment le cas.

Pour moi, la relation entre les deux protagonistes fut étrange tout du long, et ne faisait pas beaucoup de sens. Alors oui, bien sur, le syndrome de Stockholm est réel, mais là il fut très maladroitement amené et conduit. Je n'ai pas ressenti de véritable connection entre Atlas et Theadora, et le héros ne sait pas ce qu'il veut. On dirait que l'auteur a voulu faire un mix de plusieurs idées recue sur le fameux trope "ennemies to lovers" mais là ca n'avait ni queue ni tête. La violence était ridiculeusement disproportionnée et alors, la scène finale qui amène sur le deuxième livre n'a fait que massacrer le peu d'intérêt que j'aurais eu à continuer cette histoire.

Il y a de biens meilleurs livres basé sur ce genre que Heartbreak me, je passerais donc mon chemin si j'étais vous.

OMG!! I FLOVED this book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 14, 2020

TL Smith has a talent for giving us hot, sexy, broody men which our heads tell us to runaway from FAST but other parts are wanting them.

I started this one evening and couldn't put it down until I had finished and before I knew it, it was the early hours of the morning and my head was spinning! I was left feeling all of a tither, and yes I'm well aware this word is rarely used anymore but it was the only one I could think of that fit.

This is one book you need to experience for yourself without preconceptions.

The chemistry between Thea and Atlas is off the charts hot but as events unfold you will be left on the edge of your seat wanting answers and like me desperately wanting the next part of the Duet!

Her writing is unpredictable and exciting. And I love every single tiny second of it. I am addicted. This story trapped me in quick.

Atlas....holy heck that is one fine man. I wouldn't mind me a piece of Atlas. SO dark, so formidable, so sexy! What more could you want? If I was the heroine I would be all over him! But this was true enemies to lovers and the hate between these two sizzled all the more. So hot.
Theadora is a good girl, she isn't at all bad. I love that she is the opposite of our hero. It makes the fight all the more fun! These two are so freaking hot. Burning up my kindle.

The twists and turns took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting what happened at all.. and I was so hooked I didn't even notice it was coming to an end and then BAM... the end, and I could have cried, and screamed!!! I need more so bad. Only a little wait to go but eeep.... I can't wait. I am so excited to see what happens next. I am so ready for more Atlas.

What a brilliant read

This is the first book I've read by this author and I highly recommend it. The characters pull you in and you root for them .
Thea is very likable and definitely worth being the heroine . She's sassy and vulnerable at the same time.
Then there's Atlas who is dark and dangerous but sexy with it . He is a god among men and he's my new face .
Onto book two .
