Vicious

By: L.J. Shen

Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood, Christian Rummel

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 deal.

She better get used to me.

Loved Loved LOVED

this book was perfect! a guilty pleasure well satisfied! great narration and build up! hot! smoking hot!

Overall good book

Good story, not quite the same old story. If you are an avid reader you will know what I mean. Twists and turns and the story jumps back in time a few times to clue you in on past events. Laughed out loud a few times and said oh no you didn't a few times, lol. Good book overall but they lost me in some parts too. It was a little too drawn out and mean in some parts to me, but to each their own. Good book overall and would recommend reading it. May try one more of the author's books in the future to see if the next one is the same or if it was just this book. It was a good book though and I did like how the couple grew in the end. Happy reading!

Frustrating but also surprising!

First I want to say this listen was totally worth a credit! It started out frustrating and confusing. I just couldn't understand why Vic was such an ass - so mean to everyone. But Emelia gave him chances and really tried to draw him out and things began to make sense. I enjoyed the character and story development, and getting to know the cast in this book. If you give this a try, keep listening. I think your will enjoy it too. I'm off to listen to Rosie and Dean's story.

┈ MY THOUGHTS ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
- Black 🖤 + Pink 💗
- This was very well written! I am borderline speechless, apparently, since I'm drawing a blank on everything other than "it was great".
- I loved all of the secondary/side characters. I found myself looking up their stories and who ends up with whom because I very much plan on reading the rest of the series.
- Overall: The story was suspenseful, angsty, fun, intense, heartwarming and much much more! I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
