And I loved her when I didn’t want anything to do with her.
I was so crazy about her, the lines had blurred together. Feelings were mixed, emotions twisted together.”

it’s not my cup of tea! what happen to the past is too much for me.
I started this book kind of reluctant to the plot, because it wasn't too promising, and I also kind of cringed at the weird vibe this haters-to-lovers trope gave me at the beginning but AAAHHHH it ended up being so much better than I thought!!
I'm sick and tired of the "bad boy" not being able to do any other thing than treat women like absolute shit and be aggressively possesive over the female protagonist, so I wasn't happy about this one being exactly like that for most of the book. But at the same time I'm a sucker for bad boys with a dark past who fall for sweet girls that will take none of their shit, and he had those qualities as well so you see my dilemma. Though honestly, this couple managed to buy me with their development (him, mostly, being the one that needed it the most) and I ended up so in for the ride.
I had no problem with this author's writing and it all even made me want to keep reading the next books so I'm actually really content with this read. 3.5 stars

This was really really good! I had an enjoyable time reading it!
At first I seriously thought Vicious was a spoil rich brat. Who would of thought I’ll wanted to hug and give him all the motherly love he was stolen from.
Emilia was sweet but knew how to be strong in front of Vicious, well ..... sometimes

Oh Vicious what a tortured soul you have! He is the ultimate hothole and Emilia is the only one who can tame him. Their "relationship" started with secret letters which I loved and came to a quick halt when Emilia left their town. Jump several years later and their bond is as strong as ever. This story was hot and emotional and as horrible as he could be I loved Vicious!
This was my very first read from L.J. Shen, and I can say without a doubt, it will not be my last. Vicious is such a man nasty douchebag...that I loved. I just do not know what it is. Maybe it was the fact that no fucks were given for him being such a cold hearted asshole. I mean you can't really find fault in someone that owns their shit. Emilia was his punching bag (verbal) for a little bit, and let herself get exiled by him. 10 years later they meet again, and he is still the same unabashed asshole he was in high school.
Through a lot of manipulation he gets Emilia(or as he calls her "Help") to work for him as a PA. He has ulterior motives, and she knows it, but she does it anyway. Emilia has gotten to be a strong woman in the 10 years since she last save Vicious and I like to think he wasn't prepared for that. This book was dark, sultry, and hot as a skillet in your mama's kitchen. Anyone looking for a fast paced, gritty novel, with an unabashed asshole...this is your book. Totally a must read.

I will never understand why books like this where the guy treats the girl like shit are always the most praised but definitely wasn't my cup of tea and as much as I was hoping Baron/Vicious would outgrow the nasty attitude and disrespectful nickname he gave her 10 years later he sadly did not. Save yourself from this one because if you think it gets better IT DOES NOT.
So incredibly torn on this book.
I really didn’t know what to expect going in. I enjoyed the storyline and the plot. I guess I can overall I enjoyed the book but there wasn’t much I loved about it. The falling in love felt pretty shallow to me, very surface level. I can’t explain it. It was a good book but nothing that got me in a twist.
