Product Information

If you plan to read this be aware that there’s abuse (both mental and physical), heavy sex scenes, bullying, drug use, murder, and possibly other triggers for sensitive readers. My breathing became labored, slow, and I was starting to realize I might need to call an ambulance. Vicious frustrated me, thrilled me, captivated me, and entertained me from beginning to end. It was a little bit of a slow burn, but I didn’t mind in the least. When Emilia and Vicious were together, it was hot no matter what they were doing. The plot was perfectly paced and brilliantly executed, the writing was impeccable, and the characters were expertly crafted. If asshole heroes are your thing, take my word for it, this is not be missed! You said you needed my extra gown? Why on earth…” She trailed off, taking me in behind her brother’s shoulder. Her eyes flared.

Adam is just a classic villain in the series, and it might’ve even been nice to have a whole book centered on taking him down. You’re my employee. Hence, I make the rules. You will serve me. You will obey me. You. Will . Help . Me. Understood?” Vicious makes Emilia’s life a living hell with every opportunity. Every single one of his words and every single one of his actions makes Emilia believe that he hates her like no other. He’s brutal towards her, his hateful behavior making her feel small and insignificant. However, Emilia can’t help but be attracted to her tormentor. She doesn’t want to crave her bully, she doesn’t want to fall in lust with the one who makes her life miserable, but as much as she wants, she can’t deny the strong feelings she feels towards him. My grandma once told me that love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances. The passion is the same. The pain is the same. That weird thing that bubbles in your chest? Same. I wanted to take a bite of the forbidden fruit I’d convinced myself was poisonous. He gave me pain, but ironically, this pain gave me life.”Sweet Persy- this heroine, y’all. Persephone has stolen the crown as my favorite LJ Shen leading lady. She feels different than our other heroines- a whimsical quality to her character. This is a character who charms and endears- she’s light, she’s joy, compassionate and optimistic. She’s the heart and soul of this story- and it is that heart and soul that not just inspires us, but who thaws Cillian. She’s a (mostly) quieter character overall- softer, more gentle and tender, more subtle. I found this to make her so much more relatable, because at her core, she’s a hopeless romantic. A girl who wishes on clouds, dances with her students, and believes that love can heal. We knew she was the softer sister, but she has a quiet fortitude that we hadn’t seen yeh. She has integrity, she has principles, and she stands up for herself in her own way- with love, with empathy, with affection- and with a little sass. Her inner strength is the most magnanimous of Leigh’s heroines- because it comes from a place of unconditional love. Her strength is actually her softness. It's official. L.J. Shen is a witch. How else could the woman possibly crawl inside my mind and create a story that seriously felt custom written for me? Boston Belles The Villain is certainly a book with potential. Even though the focus is supposed to be on Kill, it’s Persephone that shines throughout. She’s the one we see go through difficult decisions, having to work through those, just trying to make it out alive in the cruel world she’s in.

Friends, I’m just going to say it; the sex in this book is 11/10. Seriously, I immediately had to take a cold shower after, because the angst almost killed me during this reading experience. Like, the sexual tension in this is so damn extreme and some of the best I’ve read in a very long while. It feels like the slowest burn of all time, even though I don’t think I’d necessarily classify it as a slow burn. I don’t know, it’s a really weird reading experience, but so damn gratifying. The dirty talk was expertly done, too, and totally leg crossing inducing if you get what I’m saying. She then is forced to work under her bully, doing any and everything to keep him pleased. And we get to see them both struggle with their feelings for one another and decide if it is worth it to just get the other one out of their system. Emilia isn’t willing to fall for her tormentor, and Vicious won’t allow himself to have feelings for the one girl who is off limits for him. And the chemistry is honestly off the charts. Okay, you were all 100% correct. Vicious is totally the human equivalent of Cardan Greenbriar and I immediately want to reread this book this very second. Like, the first scene in his room, where he is sitting on the bed? I was waiting for my good dude to sprout a tail, honest to God. But yeah, this was an amazingly sexy read, and I enjoyed every single second of it. I can’t wait to continue on with the rest of this series. OMG The angst!! The feels!! The emotional pull on all my senses, The love/hate relationship I had with this book was indescribable, The frustration, The unseen twists and turns this took me on, like a roller coaster out of control. I can't even describe how much I loved this book, I was hooked as soon as I read the first chapter until I inhaled, breathed the last words and can not wait for the next in this series.My soul is yours.

Emilia knows him as a brilliant lawyer, a beautiful liar, a skilled criminal, lover, monster, bully, and savior. Ten years ago, Vicious Spencer had made Emilia run away from her small town. Now, he has come to New York to take her away with him. Vicious sees Emilia as a starving artist. When she had come into his life 10 years ago, she had turned his life upside down. But, he made her pay the price. Now, Emilia hates him for treating her badly. Vicious is not done with her and intends to cause more harm. He knows that she is aware of his darkest secret and wants to keep her in fear all the time so that she doesn’t reveal that secret to anyone. Barron ‘Vicious’ Spencer runs All Saints High, along with his three best friends known as the HotHoles. He’s the most ruthless of them all. When Emilia LeBlanc moves into his family home (her parents are the hired help) he has a new target to take his rage out on. Vicious is a bit ruthless at times. He has his reasons, but there are parts in this story (especially the past) that made me a little cringey.He sighed, discarding his blazer on the bed, then unbuttoning his cuff links. Hiking his dress shirt up his muscled forearms, he stared me down with dissatisfaction. I heard him rummaging through the cabinets. My eyes fluttered open. Grabbing a first-aid kit, he produced a small bottle of medicine and a syringe, frowning at the tiny instructions on the vial as he spoke.

The constant cruelty of Vicious despite the insane attraction between them sometimes leads Emilia to wrong decisions that she will later regret.I want you.” I propped my head against the cool surface of the bath. The words soaked the walls and ceiling, and the truth filled the air, charging it with electricity. Using the L-word was too intimate. Too scary. I knew what I felt for him was love—despite his rude behavior—but I also knew he would never believe me. I’d always been the servant. Me, my parents. Vicious was right in calling me HELP. Not that it wasn’t rude, but it was the truth nonetheless. I found them in the garden outside the suite,” I murmured, my lips heavy. My eyes widened as I realized something.
