From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestseller L.J. Shen comes an arranged marriage romance novel with teeth and claws.

Cruel. Coldblooded. Hades in a Brioni suit.
Cillian Fitzpatrick has been dubbed every wicked thing on planet earth.
To the media, he is The Villain.
To me, he is the man who (reluctantly) saved my life.
Now I need him to do me another, small solid.
Bail me out of the mess my husband got me into.
What’s a hundred grand to one of the wealthiest men in America, anyway?
Only Cillian doesn’t hand out free favors.
The price for the money, it turns out, is my freedom.
Now I’m the eldest Fitzpatrick brother’s little toy.
To play, to mold, to break.
Too bad Cillian forgot one, tiny detail.
Persephone wasn’t only the goddess of spring; she was also the queen of death.
He thinks I’ll buckle under the weight of his mind games.
He is about to find out the most lethal poison is also the sweetest.

L.J. Shen books have been hit or miss for me recently, but I’m so glad I gave The Villain a chance. It’s one of her better enemies turned lovers stories.

About L.J. Shen

Author LJ Shen logo

L.J. Shen is an International #1 best-selling author of Contemporary Romance and New Adult novels. She lives in Northern California with her husband, young son and chubby cat.

Before she’d settled down, L.J. (who thinks referring to herself in the third person is really silly, by the way) traveled the world, and collected friends from all across the globe. Friends who’d be happy to report that she is a rubbish companion, always forgets peoples’ birthdays and never sends Christmas cards.

She enjoys the simple things in life, like spending time with her family and friends, reading, HBO, Netflix and internet-stalking Stephen James. She reads between three to five books a week and firmly believes Crocs shoes and mullets should be outlawed.

Audiobook Review: The Devil Wears Black by L.J. Shen

Audiobook Review: The Devil Wears Black by L.J. Shen

The Devil Wears Black is an enemies to lovers romantic comedy that is miles away from  L.J. Shen’s norm, and it’s a welcome surprise. This author is an expert when it comes to addictive enemies turned lovers stories. She has a special knack for creating truly despicable, horrible antiheroes that are easy to hate and, astonishingly enough, most of the time I reluctantly grow to love them. When all is said and done, her tales are angst fests that leave this drama queen exhausted and satisfied. I have never ever EVER known her to write anything remotely lighthearted. Until now. Even the cover is playful. I mean, how cute is this?
