Publisher's Summary

L.J. Shen delivers a charged, addictive stand-alone about a tabloid princess who is desperate to self-destruct...and the grumpy bodyguard who saves her.

I landed in hot water with the tabloids one too many times. What can I say? My nipple wanted to come out and say hi to the paparazzi.

After that, my father presented me with an ultimatum—either he cuts off the gravy train and stops paying for my lavish lifestyle or I agree to have a live-in bodyguard.

And by bodyguard, I mean a sexy, formidable, out-of-this-world babysitter who just happens to be good at breaking spines.

Ransom Lockwood, ladies and gentlemen.

Now he is forcing me to try all kinds of weird stuff. Stop partying, clean up my act, get a job....

A part of me wants to tell him to get lost. I’m past saving.

But the other part? The other part wants to save him.

Hilarious Witty Banter

I loved the quips between the MCs. They made my jaw drop, and laugh throughout the book. The tension was *fantastic*.

A defiant, sassy female MC + the sexy voice of Sebastian York is a guaranteed win in my book.

I don't really think this book needs a trigger warning for most people. The MC goes into detail about CNC, and those scenes are not overly graphic. However, I would err on the side of caution as that's sensitive for some and not for others.

Captivating and Steamy

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heat Level: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I stumbled upon "Thorne Princess" by L.J. Shen through a Facebook group, having read previous works by this author. Narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Sebastian York, the experience on both Kindle and Audible platforms was immersive from the start.

The storyline delves into the tumultuous world of a Hollywood princess, Hallie, whose antics with the paparazzi land her in constant trouble. Her father's ultimatum of a live-in bodyguard leads to the entrance of Ransom Lockwood, a rugged protector with a knack for challenging Hallie's wild ways.

The dark allure of Ransom's character was unexpectedly magnetic. However, I wished the story delved deeper into this aspect, especially towards the end where I felt it could have been more explored. Despite this, the chemistry between Hallie and Ransom sizzles throughout, making their journey from antagonism to understanding a thrilling ride.

The plot's climax could have been more developed, particularly in the epilogue, leaving a sense of something missing. Nevertheless, the narrative's premise ensured that chaos and passion were inevitable whenever Hallie and Ransom shared a scene.

As they navigate living together and facing their own personal demons, Hallie and Ransom's character growth is palpable. Their struggles, accompanied by steamy moments, reflect a journey of self-discovery and maturity.

In conclusion, "Thorne Princess" is a captivating standalone filled with drama, passion, and a touch of redemption. L.J. Shen's writing keeps the pages turning, while Samantha Brentmoor and Sebastian York's narration brings the characters to life in a way that keeps listeners engaged. Despite some minor pacing issues, the overall experience is nothing short of enthralling, promising a satisfying conclusion for fans of romance with a dash of intrigue.

⚠️ Warning

I only listen to part of the 1st chapter and then had to stop. The mention of forced sex with consent but non consent I couldn't handle. There was a warning at the beginning of the book about the subject of rape. I thought it would be one incident but I wasn't sure I could handle it what was to come with the context of it being a fetish so I returned this book. I am not sure how consent rape works but I wasn't about to find out.
