Untouchable
Nineteen-year-old Amelia finds herself homeless and living on the streets. In her attempt to make enough money to travel out of New York, her poor choice to steal a diamond necklace from a high-end retailer causes her to collide into New York’s richest heir of Halo Enterprises, Declan Grant. He’s an undergrad student at the prestigious Brunswick University and one of the most eligible bachelors.
Because of Declan’s party days, he has a bad reputation he can’t escape—not when a hoard of rumors about him have spread all over social media. In his attempt to lay low, and so his parents don’t intervene and take away the future he’s working toward, he decides to escape the attention of the media.
By doing so, his life has become a bore.
He believes a woman is the last thing he needs in his life, but he can’t seem to release the trembling Amelia over to the angry store clerk. After all, she could be just what he needs. Perhaps the two of them can both get what they him an alibi to steer clear of the drama, and her a place to live and recoup from her past relationship.
He could be toying with her, just as he has played every other woman. Maybe he’s simply using her to occupy his spare time? Or maybe he truly cares? Either way, he wants to make her his.
But they’re both, in their own way, untouchable.

This book was trying to go for the reformed player trope, but in the beginning, Declan was so cruel and got pleasure from breaking hearts, even being on the phone with his girlfriend while having sex with another just so she can hear it and be hurt by it. And then he’s stealing his cousin’s girl just to show off. He was so incredibly unlikeable. Then suddenly when the story starts, he’s the perfect man and that girl he tortured is somehow the main villain of the story. There was definitely a not like other girls type of vibe that’s supposed to make the main love interest “special,” but it strikes me as deeply misogynistic. The whole thing turned into an unrealistic and creepy instaromance, with Declan being possessive within the first 24 hours, which had really really future domestic violence type of vibe. There was no suspense or tension in the story. Lots of contemporary romances have this issue because for some reason they feel the need to put in the POV of both characters, so you know what the other is thinking, leaving no mystery behind.
