I expected more from this couple. But I guess beggars can’t be choosy! It was still overall a good read.

Okay but I thought Cillian was my favorite?! Maybe it’s Sam?!? I definitely love Aisling. She’s such a beautiful balance between joy and heart and pain and purpose.

The Monster: ★ ★ ★ ★ . 5
L.J. Shen (Boston Belles #3)
"It was always Monster. And I was his Nix."
Unexpected. This book blew my mind with the absolutely astounding way that this story unfolded.
I finished this book last week and it’s been on my mind non-stop! I’ve re-read it so many times. So many drool-worthy scenes!
Anyone who knows me knows that I have been waiting for Sam Brennan almost since the day I was born (plus Sam was born in August too so we are literally soulmates and everyone can back off). Ruthless, dashing, and terrifying with an ever-present challenging smirk plastered on his beautiful face. A monster–through and through. But, behind that rough exterior is a boy who went through more than anyone could have before the age of 9, and a man who never felt like he truly belonged. Sam’s backstory is heartbreaking and though he stands tall, there’s a lot of cracks in his soul. He’s a complex character, who owns his personality with finesse and calm. Even though he may have some jagged edges, deep down, there’s something so very soft about him. For a man who thinks he is incapable of love, Sam is a phenomenal lover. He’s possessive, hot, and would do anything for his Nix.
Aisling Fitzpatrick was the most jarring surprise. “Elegant and aristocratic,” as Sam says, absolutely. But, she is so much more. Ash is such a complex character. She loves unapologetically, wears her heart on her sleeve, and gives so much of her to people–even Sam, when he least deserves it. Let it be known, she is no doormat. She is strong, with a spine of steel, and knows her worth. Aisling is a surprise.
Sam and Aisling have so much history that no one in their family is privy to. The world seems to be against them and yet, like two magnets in the middle of a war-torn field, they find one another.
Samuel Brennan and Aisling Fitzpatrick are so meant to be. Their story is magical, their love is profound, and they are so very beautiful.
A heart-melting whirlpool of romance, angst, lust, and most importantly, love.
