reading the one star reviews was so much more entertaining and interesting than this whole ass book

Too much use of the word Monster

For the first time an LJ Shen book was a struggle to finish because Sam and Ash completely overused the word monster. I get it. Sam is bad for Ash, but it was too much. I wanted the book to move at a faster pace to get to the resolution of Sam realizing he could send would love Ash. I give it 3 stars because the book kinda redeemed itself once they got together and I was able to finish reading but them finally giving in to their love. I wasn’t reading it with a smile on my face. It just wasn’t a satisfying ending.

Best one so far 

To było okropne, najgorsza część z tej serii. Sam - obrzydliwy mizogin i seksista, myślący o kobietach tylko jako „ciasnych cipkach”, a Aisling lata za nim jak mały szczeniaczek przez 10 lat. ONA NA STUDIACH, KIEDY ON MIAŁ JĄ W NOSIE, UMAWIAŁA SIĘ NA SEKS I ROBIŁA POTEM NOTATKI, ABY BYĆ GOTOWA DLA NIEGO

I liked it. The problem with these men is that they, before they met their now wife’s, hated women and used them for their pleasure. Otherwise I liked this a little more than the other ones

Despite devouring the third book in the series, it just didn’t land for me. There wasn’t enough transition from Sam being the *worst* human being to a good fit for Aisling. I wanted to punch him repeatedly in the mouth so he would shut the fuck up. Still do.

Where are all those 5 star reviews coming from?

They can’t be real right?

I mean come on. Nothing about this was a romance. Sam just felt icky to me and Aisling.. that poor girl needed to find someone that treated her with love and respect. I typically like her books but sadly, this was not it for me

Nice I guess. Not my fav but I liked Sam

Honestly pretty good. I liked their chemistry more than sailor and hunter’s and less than Persy and Cillian’s. The backgrounds were a little weird for both of them and I get like there were a couple plot chokes but honestly I really did enjoy it. For some reason tho I still kinda felt like at the end Sam didnt like aisling as much as she liked him but that might’ve just been me being paranoid
