Review: Cold, Hard & Heartless

Cold, Hard & Heartless by M.V. Ellis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel was just fantastic. Literally loveable and more than anything in the world.

This is after Catching London with Arlo's thoughts this time. Catching London revolves around London and her world solely.

Arlo and London have such chemistry, and there's no denial in it. At first glance Arlo knows that not just physically, there's more to London than what she looks like and he wants her enough to know her more. And knowing that they are meant to be together whether London believes it not is Arlo's mission.

Arlo and London are so suited for another despite their polar personalities such as Arlo being a no commited man in relationships and believing the worl is filled with crap. London, with her horrible singing (if you have read the novels, you know this is true) but ambitious, caring personality knows that there is some hope in the world.

Woah what polar opposities... and yet what a matching couple.

True to definition, even if London and Arlo (only in the beginning) ignore their chemistry, they know it's a thing which would either end up into flames or into a long-time bond.

In the novel, we meet Arlo as an exhausted, sarcastic, overworked member of the band Cold, Hard, Heartless who's just come back from a day of hard work and satisfying oneself (if you know what I mean).

And then suprisingly at the same time, meets London, um washing in his bathroom. Now, it is an interesting sight for Arlo as he confronts London who he has no idea, is his housekeeper.

Later on we get to meet Arlo's other relatives like his grandpa, his brother (his twin brother Luke (I think that's his name)) and others in the band.

He vows after a couple of meetings with London to convince her that they are meant to be together.

A very lovely read despite it being short but I am sure it will all conclude in Pushing Arlo.

Obstacles arise, pasts come to surface, and difficult feelings arise as both Arlo and London battle to keep their love alive in novels: Catching London (London's POV only), Cold, Hard, Heartless (Arlo's POV only) and Pushing Arlo (hopefully both London and Arlo's POV).

That said, this is an absolute recommendation if you love sarcastic, handsome rockstars or muscians, sassy but with horrible voices, positive heroines, and the comedic characters in the scenes behind the main characters.

It's a novel which you will not regret.

Enjoy! (If you do read it.)
