Book Review: The Monster

The Monster by L.J. Shen

3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (2.5 maybe)

I don’t really like Aisling. And I definitely don’t like her late French au pair or whatever the heck she is always talking to her in her head. Also, “merd, merd, merd,” was annoying. I did like Sam more than her, but not by much. The shooting at the end with the Russians felt unnecessary. IDK, definitely not my favorite of the series.

I literally jumped for joy when this hit my kindle as I had been waiting very impatiently for Sam and Aisling's story. This is the 3rd book in the Boston Belle's series and follows on from Hunter and Cillian's stories.
Aisling met Sam at the carnival for the first time and this book carried on that theme and was literally like a roller coaster.The pushing and pulling between the 2 was like a game of wills. Sam the mobster and Aisling the doctor couldn't be more different but somehow Aisling made Sam start feeling things he had said he would never feel.
I was getting really annoyed with Aisling's mother but thankfully even she caught onto herself and started to make amends.
Brilliant story with fantastic characters and well worth the wait.

This was a mess. I’m so upset. I’m going to blame the pandemic and quarantine brain for this hot ass mess.

A mob boss that fake gags like 10 year old girl, I can’t even deal. This was bad.

Amazing

This is steamy dark read that pulls you in and keeps you on a twisted ride of ups and downs. The tough love that finally gets through to Sam that love is true and feeling..
