Story
It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love. He’s fueled by revenge. To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage. His rival’s betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I’ll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die. But Romeo? He perishes.

Story
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....

Story
They say your first kiss should be earned. Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky. They say the vows you take on your wedding day are sacred. Mine were broken before we left church. They say your heart only beats for one man. Mine split and bled for two rivals who fought for it until the bitter end. I was promised to Angelo Bandini, the heir to one of the most powerful families in the Chicago Outfit. Then taken by Senator Wolfe Keaton, who held my father’s sins over his head to force me into marriage.

The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence: I’ll wait forever if I have to. It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know. Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply? You.

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.

Story
I was stolen away and held prisoner in Italy, a bride for a mafia king's only heir. Except I'm no innocent, and it's the king himself—the man called il Diavolo—who appeals to me in sinful ways I never dreamed. Fausto's wickedness draws me in, his power like a drug. And when the devil decides he wants me, I'm helpless to resist him—even if it means giving myself to him, body and soul. He may think he can control me, but this king is about to find out who's really the boss.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Célian Laurent. Manhattan royalty. Notorious playboy. Heir to a media empire...and my new boss. I could have impressed him, if not for last month's unforgettable one-night stand. I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory - namely, his wallet. Now he's staring me down like I'm the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I'm supposed to take it. But the thing about being Judith "Jude" Humphry is I have nothing to lose. Brooklyn girl. Infamously quirky. Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.

One glance and he issues his death sentence. His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos. “I will destroy you.” Everything about Aiden King is black. Black mind. Black heart. Black soul. I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left. I didn’t. I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.

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.

Story
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.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Captivating and Controversial
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heat Level: 🔥🔥
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.

This is my first book by this author and I loved it! The storyline was great! It had everything from angst to swoon-worthy moments! My heart fluttered once the hero finally gave in to the love of his life. Highly recommended listen!
The narrators did an amazing job with the characters. Don’t know what else to say about this but for you to give it a listen. Worth the credit!

devoured
The story was a fantastic mix of push pull in a realistic way. I love everything about it except for Savannah Peachwood. She read the story in a way that was too breathy and overly dramatic. When she first started reading I had to turn the volume way up because of the breathy/whispery way she spoke. I also found it a bit annoying that she was supposed to have a southern accent but Christian Rummel used more of a southern accent for millie when reading her parts.
Overall I loved this story and absolutely devoured it but could have been better with a better female narrator.

Written by: L. J. Sheen
Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood & Christian Rummel
This book was my introduction to L. J. Sheen via audiobook and I really did enjoy it.
This boy/man knew nothing about love and caring for a person but deep down inside, something must have woken up some level of feeling because he poked that girl again and again and if you’ve spent enough time around high school students that boy had a crush and didn’t even know it. Savannah Peachwood and Christian Rummel did an excellent job with the slow burning heat that smouldered in these characters. The innuendo, the push and pull in the story! Perfect! I found it really enjoyable and I am sure I will listen to it again.

Couldn’t get into this
I read all the reviews for this book and got the feeling that I would either love it or hate it since the majority of the reviews seemed to be very divided. I could see how others liked this book but it just wasn’t for me. The story was interesting and unpredictable but didn’t keep my attention. I found the MMCs sudden change of heart completely unrealistic and his misogyny and treatment of people was such a huge turn off. I had zero heart for this character. Also, I found the performance of the FMC to be annoying and overly performative.

Terrible female narrator
The whispy, breathy female narrator voice just ruined this audio book. She always sounded in a state of breathy fright…I could not keep listening after an hour.
