Publisher's summary

Now a top-20 Amazon best seller

Rosie

They say that life is a beautiful lie and death a painful truth. They're right.
No one has ever made me feel more alive than the guy who serves as a constant reminder that my clock is ticking.
He is my forbidden, shiny apple.
The striking fallacy to my blunt, raw, truth.
He is also my sister's ex-boyfriend.
One thing you should know before you judge me: I saw him first. I craved him first. I loved him first.
Eleven years later, he waltzed into my life, demanding a second chance.
Dean Cole wants to be my bronze horseman. My white knight has finally arrived. Hopefully, he isn't too late.

Dean

They say the brightest stars burn out the fastest. They're right.
She sets my mind on fire.
All smart mouth, snarky attitude, and a huge heart.
In a world where everything is dull, she shines like Sirius.
Eleven years ago, fate tore us apart.
This time, I dare it to try.
Getting to her is a battlefield, but man, that's why they call me Ruckus.
Rosie LeBlanc is about to find out how hard I can fight.
And conquering her will be the sweetest victory.

Ruckus is a complete stand-alone and a part of the Sinners of Saint series.

5 Sirius and Earth Stars!

I have found my new favorite Hothole!! Oh who am I kidding, I'm greedy and want them all!! Lol. Totally swoon worthy Ruckus stole my heart and crushed it leaving me a sobbing mess. Both Ruckus and Rosie were perfectly written and loved their chemistry all through the book. I loved Rosie with her sassiness and take no crap from no one attitude. She took life in stride even with everything she was going through. She never took anything for granted and learned at a young age how precious time is.
Being a teenager is such a confusing time and no one knows that better than Dean. Being with one girl but being in love with another was messed up enough, but he's also got his demons that he hides well. He's the life of the party and joker of the Hotholes, but that's just a mask he uses to keep drinking and smoking away his issues.
They are both broken, one emotionally and the other physically, but together they're perfect. One soothes what the other needs, and it's beautiful.
LJ Shen totally killed it with Ruckus. She literally made my heart stop with that ending and made it beat again with that epic epilogue!! Don't toy with my emotions like that woman. Lol. Totally love you for it though.
Even if you haven't read any of these books before, you need to get your hands on this one. One taste and you'll be hooked on these Hotholes from Todos Santos, California. Beautifully written in a dual POV, this second chance/ forbidden mix romance can be read as a standalone. Pick this must read up and you won't regret it, only regret not reading it sooner.

Amazing audio!! Really took this book to another level.

Love the hotholes

There’s was some twist in this story that I did not expect. I absolutely love you accurately writing on CF (my best friends son has it and it’s just cool to see it written about) I can’t get enough of these hotholes

An amazing book with all the feels

I don’t know how LJ Shen does it. I have loved Rosie from the beginning, she didn’t let her illness stop her. She was sassy and strong. Dean was arrogant, and troubled. I loved these two together from the beginning. The unexpected twist that had you mad, sad, and beyond happy just made this book perfect. I recommend this book that wants a great book with all the feels

Emotional Rollercoaster ___ IN THE BEST WAY

I am at a loss for words. It has everything I love.: Epic romance with a sexy Alpha male and a strong and lovable love interest topped with unbelievably steamy scenes. The twists and turns were unexpected and surprising. The narrators captured the emotions perfectly. I am an avid Romance reader and this book is definitely in my top 5.
