He was the bad boy I fell for in college. Now he’s a sexy single dad and Charleston’s most successful venture capitalist. Dominant and decisive, Ford Montgomery is used to getting what he wants. And he just set his sights on me...
Southern Heartbreaker, an all-new standalone contemporary romance in the Charleston Heat series by Jessica Peterson, is LIVE!
Ford Montgomery was my first everything.
First love.
First guy I slept with.
First heartbreak when he dumped me without explanation.
A decade later, it’s just my luck he’s the first guy I run into after moving back to my hometown of Charleston. Three piece suit, tie, and a watch worth more than my car--being a mogul looks good on Ford. So does being a doting dad to his adorable four-year-old daughter.
I tell myself I can resist him. But one impulsive, ill-advised kiss later, and Ford is in hot pursuit. He’s determined to make up for his past mistakes, and convinces me to give him a second chance.
What started out as fun between the sheets gets really serious, really fast. Problem is, I swore I’d never give up the dreams I worked so hard for to settle down and do the family thing.
But seeing Ford light up around his daughter--seeing how he’s chasing his ambitions while rocking fatherhood--is making me rethink what I want out of life.
It doesn’t help that behind his corporate veneer is the bad boy I fell in love with. And bad boys aren’t afraid to play dirty...or break hearts.
Southern Heartbreaker is part of the Charleston Heat Series, which is a series of interconnected standalone novels set in the steamy southern town of Charleston, South Carolina.

I mostly enjoyed it, though I had some reservations about, Eva the female lead in this story. Ford is the single dad and he is the brother to Grayson who we met in the previous book in the series. Eva is Juliet's friend from college who ended up having a baby with Grayson.
In this story Eva and Ford meet up 10 years after college and he is a widower now with a 4 year old daughter. He feels very much like he wants to spend time with Eva but he broke her heart ten years before and so she doesn't want to get attached.
My issues with Eva, was that her growing up life was not very happy. She felt like her mother gave up her dreams for her kids and to try and make her dad happy but that her mother is very unhappy. This has caused her to view children as something she has no interest in and very anti marriage.
So while she is fine with a sexual relationship with Ford, she has no interest in a long term relationship and getting to know his daughter. And liked that she was honest even if I did not agree with her view point and even understand it. Ford is the one I had issues with. Someone tells you that they don't want kids and you are a single dad, well I would dump them faster than you can say dump. But he doesn't do that with Eva and I could not understand that at all.
Does Eva change her mind? Does Ford dump her? Well I am not spoiling that.
This was an enjoyable story and I liked seeing characters from other books. But I did not love Ford. Aside from the issues with dating someone who is anti children, when you are a single dad. I did not like how he treated Eva in the past and dumped her and what he blamed it on. I would say he is my least favorite male lead in this entire series. That said I loved Eva, and I loved her sister Alexis and would love a story with her and her grumpy client.
