About this item

I’ve been quiet long enough.

I’m nothing like my brothers. I’ve devoted my life to my work, and I don’t care about God or family.

I live alone, and I like it that way. Soon, I’ll have the job of my dreams far away from this place, and that’s all that matters.

Everything is going perfectly.

That is until Sadie Green walks into my class.

She is brilliant and funny and infuriating, and she’s ruining everything I have planned for my life.

When she gets the news that she’s pregnant, and the baby’s father isn't going to help her, I step in.

She needs guidance, control, and discipline.

Moving her into my house is a risk. If I’m caught living with my pregnant student, I will lose my job and everything I have planned.

But the first time she asks me to punish her, I know it won’t be so easy to walk away—because I love it.

Being with her would risk everything, but God help me, I can’t seem to stop.

Before long, I don’t recognize the good teacher I used to be.

    5 Stars! ????????????

    After having read, loved, and devoured The Anti-Hero and The Home-Wrecker I could not contain my excitement for more of this series! This third installment became an instant anticipated read of the year for me. I started counting down the days. I dived right back into The Goode Brothers world. I absolutely loved this story so much!

    Lucas and Sadie's journey hooked me and didn't let go! One person can forever shake up your world, something Lucas and Sadie know all too well when it comes to one another. Lucas is an English Professor and trying to go after his dreams. Sadie is a student and manages the Sinners and Saints club. After a one night stand with a guy she had a thing for, Sadie finds out that's she pregnant. When Lucas finds out, he wants to help her. Now they're roommates. They should only just be Miss Green and Dr. Goode to each other, right? That's easier said than done as so much more ignites between the two.

    I was obsessed with these two from beginning to end! Both Lucas and Sadie drew me right into their story. I was grinning from the moment they were brought together in class at Austin State University in memorable fashion and how they knew each other through Sage and Adam. I didn't know how they'd tackle things from being student / professor, figuring out things in their lives, living together, their hard to ignore feelings, and the baby on the way.

    Just like with the previous couples, I was so happy that I got to dig deep and get the real from these two. Sadie was strong and super relatable to me. I loved that she worked at the club and getting to see her take on all things pregnancy! I've been so curious about Lucas. From his dreams to his life, I was so glad I got to peel back his layers. The way he was all about helping Sadie and the way he was with her, this man had me falling and blushing so much!

    Sadie and Lucas totally got to each other which I so enjoyed. The ways in which these two connected got me right in the heart. I went through such a range of emotions with these two throughout. Lucas and Sadie were all kinds of blushworthy perfection together! They had me all heart eyes. And oh did they ever bring the fun-ishment! ???????????? I just adored Sadie and Lucas!

    I was ecstatic to be back with the Goode Brothers crew! I cannot get enough of these characters and this series.

    With The Heartbreaker, Sara Cate has created such an addictive and unique addition to this series that brought the heat, realness, and all kinds of feels! She takes us on one one of kind journeys filled with such depth, emotions, blushworthy goodness, and relatability that forever stick with me. All the love for Professor Goode and Little Devil! Another top read of 2024 for me! This series is one of my all time favorites! If you haven't dived into The Goode Brothers Series yet, you so should. I can't wait for The Prodigal Son! ????

    5 Stars! ????????????

    After listening to The Anti-Hero and The Home-Wrecker audiobooks I needed to listen to the rest of this series! This audiobook has been a much anticipated listen for me ever since. I was immediately pulled right back into The Goode Brothers world with this listen. I absolutely loved this audiobook so much!

    When I found out that CJ Bloom and Jason Clarke were the narrators for The Heartbreaker I could not contain my excitement! I've listened to both of them before and looked forward to listening to more of their narration with The Heartbreaker. Both CJ and Jason pulled me in from the get go and kept me glued to my earbuds from start to finish! CJ as Sadie and Jason as Lucas were everything! As Sadie and Lucas, These two narrators captured the deliciousness of the forbidden, the gripping realness of the emotions, the relatability of these two souls, their dom and brat sides, and the beautiful love all so perfectly! I loved and couldn't get enough of what Jason and CJ brought to the story through their narration!

    Lucas and Sadie's journey hooked me once again and didn't let go! One person can forever shake up your world, something Lucas and Sadie know all too well when it comes to one another.

They should only just be Miss Green and Dr. Goode to each other, right? That's easier said than done as so much more ignites between the two.

    Getting to experience Lucas and Sadie's journey again through this audiobook was so incredible! This Professor and student leave their mark from the moment they're brought together in class and with every moment after. Once I started listening, I didn't want to stop!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Slow Burn, Steamy Scenes
    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2024
    Sadie is a great character. She's strong and resilient. Stubborn and hell bent on making her own way in the world. She doesn't want Lucas' help, but she takes it. I loved that about her. I loved her fire and her IDGAF attitude. Lucas...while I didn't hate the character, I did find myself wondering....what the hell man?! He really made me have to put my book down and take a break on occasion. But in the end, he did win me over. He's a complicated character with a lot of baggage, and I could respect that.

    I did enjoy the book. There is a slow burn, but the scenes are steamy. There is a HEA to this and a great epilogue.

    My first 5 star read of 2025 is a heartwarming tale by the wonderful Sara Cate. Let's hope this sets the tone for the year. This is a page-turner, I read it in two short days. It's not overly spicy like some of her stories, but it's still entertaining enough to get the panties damp. Five stars for the story and two and a half ????️????️ for spice.

    3.0 out of 5 stars I need half stars!!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024
    I enjoyed the dynamic of their relationship. I absolutely understand what Sadie means when she says Lucas makes all the noise stop in her head. However, I didn’t enjoy how immature Sadie seemed. I protected sex with someone you literally just met? Maybe that’s because we need Lucas to step in and fill that role for her? I don’t know. I love love love Sarah Cate, but this one just didn’t make me feel all the things I usually feel from a SC story. The book is a good slow burn, but not terribly spicy. I wish I could give half stars because this one would definitely be 3.5 for me. I am excited for the next Goode brothers book!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Hellloooo Professor Good!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2024
    So far in the series we’ve had a preacher, and we’ve had a lawyer, but no one prepared me for a professor. Of course Sara delivered.

    Sadie and Lucas were so fun to read. When I say I devoured this book, I mean it. It was fast paced, things progressed naturally, and woo was it spicy. With a little student/teacher dynamic and some “funishment” I couldn’t put it down.

    The only reason why I’m going with 4 stars is because I’m not the biggest fan of surprise pregnancy. I was able to get on board for this book, but it’s one of my least favorite tropess. With that said, I feel like things were don’t tastefully and I didn’t feel like the book was strictly focused on that one part of the characters lives but it was still there. Even if it’s not your thing I would still recommend giving this book a shot.

    The Goode series has quickly become some of my favorite Sara Cate books and I’m excited to see what else she has up her sleeve for them.
