Shameless by Michelle HorstMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Shameless (Enemies to Lovers #5) by Michelle Heard (Horst) is one of the best in the series. I found myself sad to find this series ending while at the same so excited to finally get Rhett & Evie’s story.
Evie runs from her foster home because she knows that when she turns eighteen she will be given no choice but to work as a prostitute for her foster parents. She really struggles on her own on the streets but does finally end up getting a job. Evie wasn’t expecting to meet Rhett and have him offer her the world- which is pay for everything and not have to take her clothes off. Rhett sees Evie and instantly thinks of his sister and wants to help Evie with her life and protect her and make sure she succeed in life. Evie falls for Rhett while Rhett fights his feelings for Evie. There is this push/pull between them. Rhett has these past issues making him think people love only what you can do for you, not who you are and he lumps Evie into that mix. One night something happens when he sees Evie dressed up and he says a totally nasty comment which he instantly regrets but he doesn’t apologize right away. When he finally goes to her, he ends up finding out more about her background and it makes him ache for her and the past she had to endure. Evie does forgive him because she knows he didn’t really mean it and because she is in love with him. Evie is struggling from seeing Rhett with other women and knows he will never love her the way she wants and she also wonders how many times can he be heartless, and carelessly push her away, before she leaves for good? That’s when she decides its time to leave because she doesn’t see him changing and her love will never be reciprocated. Will Rhett realize what he has before it’s too late? Will Evie get the HEA she finally deserves? Will Rhett and Evie get their HEA together or will his doubts and struggles keep them apart? This is a story that is so emotionally investing and full of feels that I was taken from sadness to hopelessness to hope and joy with each turn of the page. Ms. Heard has done a phenomenal job with making the characters into people that you instantly connect with and root for, even if they are total jerks(Rhett) and beautiful broke souls ( Evie). This book truly blew me apart and put me back together. I am so sad this is it but what a way to end things. This is a MUST READ , in fact the whole series is a complete must read!
My Rating: 4.9 stars *****
