About this listen
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.

Story34
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me...now my heart was completely iced. I took her first kiss. She took the only thing I loved. I was poor. She was rich. The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast. Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much. Yeah, baby girl, say it. I’m your foster brother. There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life. She’s about to shell out some serious tears.

Story123
I didn't mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened. Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

Story23
Our first meeting was at a nightclub, and it was something straight out of my most romantic fantasies. My ovaries exploded at the sight of the Russian God. And by God, I mean he was ripped, tall, dark, and deadly attractive. There were enough sparks between us to light up a city. Then an explosion blasted through the nightclub, and we got trapped together for three hours, sharing our most personal details...everything but our names. Two years later, our second meeting is the complete opposite of the first. It's clear Misha Petrov, a Russian enforcer for the bratva, despises me.

Story6
I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

Story17
I kissed my father’s best friend, and it kind of didn’t go well. Not only because he’s 18 years older than me - but he also didn’t like it. Not one bit. In my defense, I didn’t mean to fall for him. It just happened. Nathaniel Weaver is the most attractive man I’ve ever seen with enough charisma to blind the sun. He’s bigger than the world, owns half of it, and conquered the other half. He was forbidden. Wrong. So I totally got over him. Or so I told myself. Until we’re forced to get married.

Dive into the tumultuous world of "Vicious" where love and hate collide in a gripping enemies-to-lovers narrative. As my inaugural journey into L.J. Shen's literary realm, I was immediately ensnared by the magnetic pull of Emilia and Baron's unconventional romance. This tale is not for the faint of heart; it demands your attention and challenges your perceptions every step of the way.
Emilia and Baron's love story defies conventions, plunging readers into a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Shen masterfully crafts characters that evoke intense reactions – you'll either root for them with fervor or recoil at their actions. Personally, I found myself captivated from the outset, unable to tear myself away from the enthralling narrative. In fact, I was so engrossed that I found myself listening to the audiobook while going about my daily tasks.
While classified as dark romance, "Vicious" didn't strike me as excessively grim compared to recent reads in the genre. Instead, it exudes a somber ambiance intertwined with themes of bullying, adding layers of complexity to the characters' dynamics.
The dynamic between Emilia and Baron is fraught with tension and raw emotion, making every interaction pulse with intensity. Their turbulent past and present collide, weaving a tapestry of passion and pain that leaves an indelible mark on the reader.
However, it's worth noting that Baron's demeanor may not sit well with all readers. His cold, jerkish tendencies could be off-putting for some, adding to the polarizing nature of the narrative. Yet, it's precisely these flaws that lend depth to his character, showcasing Shen's skill in crafting complex protagonists.
In "Vicious," L.J. Shen delivers a spellbinding tale that pushes boundaries and challenges perceptions. Whether you find yourself enraptured by Emilia and Baron's tumultuous romance or recoiling at its darker elements, one thing is certain – this book leaves an indelible impression long after the final page is turned.
