Scandalous by L.J. Shen

Scandalous (Sinners of Saint, #3)

by L.J. Shen

They call him The Mute for a reason.
Hard, cold and calculated, he rarely speaks.
When he does, it’s with disdain.
When he does, his words aren’t meant for me.
When he does, my stomach flips and my world tilts on its axis.
He is thirty-three.
I am eighteen.
He’s a single dad and my father’s business partner.
I’m just a kid to him and his enemy’s daughter.
He’s emotionally unavailable.
And I am…feeling. Feeling things I shouldn’t feel for him.
Trent Rexroth is going to break my heart. The writing isn’t just on the wall, it’s inked on my soul.
And yet, I can’t stay away.
A scandal is the last thing my family needs. But a scandal is what we’re going to give them.
And oh, what beautiful chaos it will be.

So, first, let me say this: I have loved Jamie, Vicious & Dean so much. But, Trent Rexroth? Oh my. How I have loved him hard throughout this book! He is beautifully broken. He is beautifully chiseled. He. Is. Beautiful. Period. I loved his brooding, I loved his “don’t give a damn”, and I absolutely loved his loyalty to his daughter Luna.

I’ll be honest, though. I thought Edie was a whiny, ungrateful kid……it was a hate/love relationship with her. I hated her in the beginning. She really got under my skin in the first few chapters. Then I saw her with little Luna, and with The Mute, and that hate turned into love for her.

The sizzling, slow burn passion between Edie & Trent was absolutely mind blowing. All of my feels were all over the emotional spectrum with this scandalous story of a single dad, a teenage girl who understands his daughter, and the sweet little girl who hides inside herself. Once again, Shen took one of the sexy, sinning Hotholes and gave her fans one fell of an angsty, passionate rollercoaster ride. When you pick up this book and read it, think Samson & Delilah. A forbidden, dangerous, but oh so sexy story, 100%!
