I really liked this one, and loved the characters and their complexities. I was really skeptical at first, but thoroughly enjoyed this. I did experience a lot of moments of deja vu at the end, which was confusing..especially with the epilogue..I swear I’d already read it somewhere but I, not sure where.
If I dare say , I loved it more than the first one. It's story just spoke to me. Although in all honesty I did have some wtf moments with the characters (Dean) but the book as a whole is definitely a recommendation

5 Stars.
Stars also symbolize the cycle of life, solitude and gravity. They glow in the dark energy that's the majority of space, and remind us that even in the pitch black, there's always something that can shine.
Rosie LeBlanc knows life isn't fair. With no promises of tomorrow, she has learned to make herself happy and push others away. She moved away from California to New York to escape her overbearing parents; they wanted to put her in a bubble and lecture her about her failing health or her bad choices. Without them around, she can do whatever she wants. Her career consists of making playlists and serving up coffee to hipsters at The Black Hole. She volunteers at a NICU because it is the closest thing to what she wanted to be doing - nursing. That doesn't make her parents happy, but Rosie doesn't care. Millie accepts it and her opinion is the only one that matters.
Millie LeBlanc is Vicious's soon-to-be-bride. Rosie is happy for her sister, but her upcoming wedding is causing Rosie to deal with someone she rather not - Dean Cole. What Millie doesn't know is that the only thing Rosie wants more than good health is him. However, she can't have him. It doesn't matter that Dean is the only man can that set her on fire. It doesn't matter that she saw him first. Ruckus is Millie's ex-boyfriend. And she's sick. So that makes him off-limits.
There is something you should know before you judge me. I saw him first. I craved him first. I loved him first.
Dean was done lusting after Baby LeBlanc. He has waited years to finally get with the right LeBlanc sister. Why did he have to make the mistake of courting Millie? Millie was never under his spell; she has always belonged to Vicious. Their wedding presented him with the perfect opportunity to settle this nonsense. He was going to make Rosie his. Forever.
Baby LeBlanc was going to bow down to me eventually. Her clock was ticking faster, and I was done letting her waste our time.
In my opinion, this is the best book in this series yet. I have read Vicious and Defy before joining GoodReads, and while I really enjoyed them, they didn't move me as much Ruckus. It is such a beautiful story of forbidden love. Rosie's issues are more known as she can't really hide her illness, but Dean is also dealing with some hidden secrets. He is so much different than his fellow HotHoles that my heart bled for him. I highly recommend this series!

This was one of the most anticipated book releases this year and I was not disappointed in the least. Matter of fact, L.J. Shen blew my expectations out the roof.
Dean Cole was not a character I was expecting to fall in love with. I mean sure, I knew I would like him because after all she made me fall for VICIOUS lol, but what Shen did with Dean Cole's character was nothing short of amazing. Dean has a few different sides that readers are going to love. Gah! He is so much much more than I could have imagined but there's a twist in Dean's story that not even the HotHoles saw coming.
I loved Rosie from the moment we met her in the previous books. She's one of those characters you wish to have as a friend in RL. She's funny, she's caring, and probably the most unselfish character I've ever read about. She sacrifices for those she loves even though she's spent her life knowing she is living on borrowed time.
When these two finally stop fighting fate and give in to the pull that has between them for over a decade, will they finally get their HEA or will all hell break loose?
I think I've said this before, but I will read anything L.J. Shen writes. She knows how to write male characters like no one else. Shen took this story and the characters and set my heart on fire. I laughed, I cried, I even screamed a few times. This is one book everyone should be reading!
