Emilia
They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true.
The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares.
He is a brilliant lawyer.
A skilled criminal.
A beautiful liar.
A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover.
Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him.
Vicious
She is a starving artist.
Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom.
Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down.
She paid the price.
Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate.
That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t.
So she hates me. Big fucking deal.
She better get used to me.
My Review
My Review
"The cherry blossom represents the fragility and magnificence of life. It's a reminder of how beautiful life is, almost overwhelmingly so, but that it is also heartbreakingly short. As are relationships. Be wise. Let your heart lead the way. And when you find someone who is worth it- never let them go."One of the favorite books of 2016 was Sparrow by L. J. Shen, so I couldn't wait to read this one. This is a 5* read too! I wanted to read the book after I read the blurb.
I liked the author's writing, her style.
"Grandmama said that the cherry blossom was life. Sweet and beautiful, but so darn short. Too short not to do what you wanna do. Too short to not spend it with the people...you love."~Millie
Vicious is really vicious, a bastard, and first I didn't like him. He was so bad for Emilia. But I was curious what was his problem. And somehow from the second half of the book I started to like him. We could read about his childhood, about what happened with him. He was a broken man. A smart lawyer, a CEO. He changed a lot, started to care about Emilia. He opened up to her.
"Something so broken couldn't possibly deserve someone so whole"~ViciousAnd finally I loved to read about how he fought for her. 💗
"Accepting the fact that you loved someone was much harder than falling for that person. It took time. And courage."~Vicious
"Your pussy doesn't interest me right now.Your heart does." Always so crude, even when he's sweet.Emilia was a likeable character, I liked that she wasn't a naive, lost girl. And I totally understood her why she wanted to stay away from Vicious. But I also understood that they attracted to each other. And I liked that she stood up for herself.
"He'd treated me horribly in the past, but right now... he brought color into my life."~Emilia
"He was the storm to my cherry blossoms"~EmiliaCan't wait to read the other books in the series! I'm curious about the other guys. 😊
Véleményem:
A kedvenc 2016-os könyvek között szerepelt az írónő Sparrow című könyve, ezért már alig vártam, hogy olvashassam ezt a könyvet. Ez is egy 5*-os könyv! Miután olvastam a fülszöveget, tudtam hogy el akarom olvasni a könyvet.Tetszik az írónő stílusa.
Vicious valóban egy gonosz gazember, először nem is kedveltem. Nagyon rossz volt Emiliához, de kíváncsi voltam, hogy mi a baja. Valahogy a könyv második felétől elkezdtem kedvelni. Olvashattunk a gyerekkoráról, arról, hogy mi történt vele. Egy megtört lélek. Egy okos jogász, vállalatvezető. Sokat változott a könyvben. Elkezdett törődni Emiliával, megnyílt neki. És a végén, nagyon szerettem olvasni, ahogy harcolt Emiliáért. 💗
Emilia egy szerethető karakter. Tetszett, hogy nem egy naív elveszett lányról van szó. Teljesen megértettem, miért akar távol maradni Vicioustól, és azt is hogy mennyire vonzódtak egymáshoz. Azt is kedveltem benne, hogy kiállt magáért.
Alig várom, hogy olvashassam a következő könyvet a sorozatból. Kíváncsi vagyok a többi srácra is! 😊

“You’re pissing me off,” she said quietly, her eyes still searching my face.
“And that’s turning me on,” I retorted, my voice flat. “So you might wanna tone down the hate glares if you don’t wanna find yourself being fucked on this desk with the blinds still open.”
I was still staring at my screen, working on the merger deal I was eager to get signed before Christmas, but I could see from my peripheral that she had paled. I liked how—once again—I’d gotten under her skin. Quickly.
“You’re disgusting,” she muttered, still staring at me—but not in a way that suggested she was appalled.
I cracked my neck, opening my browser and checking the stocks on the screen, skimming through the greens and the reds. “That may well be, but I’m balls deep in your fucking head, Help, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Her eyes glittered with rage, and fuck, I was so hard, and fuck, she was so beautiful. This was so on. I was going to fuck Dean’s ex-girlfriend, use her for my personal needs, and toss her away when I was done.
And after choosing the wrong guy, there was no doubt in my mind, she deserved it too.
“You just gave Floyd a lecture about the inter-office fraternization policy. No mixing business and pleasure.” She leaned forward. Her elbow touched my finger accidentally, and she jerked it away.
I met her halfway, erasing the space between us across the desk. “Correction—guys like Floyd won’t give you pleasure. Men like me would. Besides, the man likes Arrow,” I drawled, as if this alone was a reason to fire him.
To me, it was.
“You know what your problem is, Vicious? You still haven’t decided if you hate me or like me. That’s why you act like this every time I’m around other men.” There wasn’t a trace of embarrassment in her voice. She owned up to this.
What she didn’t know was that I knew exactly how I felt about her.
I hated her, but was attracted to her. It was really that simple.
“You know what I feel right now, Ms. LeBlanc? I feel like you need to pack a fucking bag and start making the necessary arrangements. You’re coming with me to California, whether you like it or not.”
L.J. Shen resides in sunny California with her husband, son, chubby cat and wild, wild dreams.
Her passion is to write badass stories, sushi, UFC and her awesome family and friends (not in this order, though. Obviously, sushi comes before writing. Oh, and also the family part.)
She spend the first half of her twenties traveling the world and is now paying all the fun with extra shifts in front of her MacBook. Feel free to contact her on her Facebook page. She loves to hear from her readers.
