Vicious by L.J. Shen

Vicious (Sinners of Saint, #1)

by L.J. Shen

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.

Vicious a complete standalone and a part of the Sinners of Saint series

Vicious was a hard ass man to get behind. He was awful most of the book, to Emilia, his friends and just about anyone else who crossed his path. What was worse, he knew he was an a-hole and didn't care. There were moments when I found myself softening, just a little bit, towards him...especially when his truths started coming out. But then he'd do or say something that reminded me why I was having a hard time liking him.

That said, I did like this book. Emilia may have been a glutton for punishment when it came to Vicious, but she was the only one who was willing to look past his harsh exterior and money to see who he was and just how big his heart was. She was why I kept reading this.
