3.5/5 ★

"Forever starts now, Baby Leblanc. With you."

"What makes you feel alive? Dean. Dean Cole makes me feel alive."

Na Ruckuse jsem se těšila, protože mě zajímal příběh Rosie a Deana a bylo to opět fajn. Nějak extra mě to neuchvátilo, stejně jako první díl, ale bylo to hezký a smutný..
Na sériích miluju, že se v dalších dílech objevují "staré" postavy, takže furt máte tak nějak přehled, co se s nimi stalo/děje.

Rosie mi sedla hned na začátku.. Bylo mi jí neuvěřitelně líto a nejraději bych jí celou objala. Dean je Dean, lol. Občas mě fakt štval a měla jsem chuť ho zabít, ale jinak to bylo zlato. Byla to změna od našeho arogantního a agresivního Viciouse.
Abych pravdu řekla, tak jsem neměla absolutní tušení jakou minulost Dean skrývá. A vůbec jsem nečekala, že Nina byla jeho matka :D. Jsem myslela, že mají spolu dítě (hloupý, já vím :D)..

Konec knihy byl neuvěřitelně smutný a kdybych nevěděla, že Rosie v tomhle díle nezemře, tak bych si vážně myslela, že by to pro ní tímhle dílem končilo.
Epilog byl naprosto boží!! Smála a culila jsem se, jako magor :D. Kniha je opět plná klišé a předvídatelných věcí, ale bylo to fajn čtení..

Dean and Rosie are ( insert a bunch of extraordinary beautiful adjectives here) couple and the story is

I am shattered! Completely. I thought there was no way that Vicious could be topped, but Dean Cole just completely did me in. I fell for him hard just from the first chapter of the book. He was so broken, so vulnerable, yet completely alpha and all hothole. I loved every minute of reading his story, even though it was breaking my heart as well. Rosie was just absolutely perfect for Dean. She doesn't come off originally as the strongest character, but seeing everything she has gone through and goes through, you learn that she has such a strength in her and so vibrant. Her personality jumps off the page.

This story has everything. It will break your heart. It will mend your heart. It is oh so sexy and there are even some laughs. Everything that you look for in a story. It is an emotional rollercoaster that you will not want to get off of until the ride ends. Beautiful writing, perfect pacing and characters that will stick with you for a long time to come make this one amazing read.

I definitely cannot wait to read more!

5+ stars.

I knew going in that I would love this book. I love everything that L.J. Shen writes. However, what I didn't realize was how much I was going to love this book. I didn't think that there was any possibility that I would love Dean more than Jamie. I was wrong. So. Wrong. While they all have the dirty talking alpha-male thing down, Dean knocks it out of the park.

"I was still a sinner…and I was still the wolf her grandmamma warned her about." Sweet Jesus....so many great lines in this book. Whether as anger all monologue or said to the other. Holy hotness...


He has a vulnerability to him that is juxtaposed between his demons that makes him swoon worthy. He isn't afraid to show love and that is what he does to Rosie.

Sweet Rosie, fragile and living in a world where everyone babies her. All she wants is to be independent and to truly live. Dean gives her that chance forcing her to truly live. I loved her being feisty with Dean. Their banter was funny as hell and made you root for them to come together, especially as 11years of their lives had already been wasted.

I loved the entwining of the other characters. It was done in a way that didn't detract from this being the Story of Dean and Rosie. It enriched the story. I look forward to Trent's story.

Fantastic book. One of the best of 2017. I can guarantee that after Trent's story comes out that this entire series will be getting a binge all in one read through. Probably more than once.
