This was a cute book, easy to just get comfy and immerse yourself in the story. Plus, bonus points for the humour - The Lying Hours was such an entertaining read and I really loved both characters.

I have a bit of a thing for Mafia princesses, I love how, even though they are pampered, sheltered and perhaps a bit enslaved, they still turn out to be strong willed women. The heroine in The Kiss Thief is a character that I instantly bonded with. Francesca is certain her life is destined one way, but her father has other plans and she is forced into an arranged marriage with a man she despises.
Here's the thing... I did too. For the first half of the book I hated the hero, which of course I was expecting because villainous arseholes are Shen's MO, but I can't say I loved this one so much. Did he redeem himself? Yes. Did I end up rooting for him? Yes. Did I fall head over heels for him? No. For the first part of this story he was a mysonigistic pig and the way he spoke about females was pretty unforgivable, I'm not going to lie.
But saying that, all the other alpha-hole misdemeanours I can handle like a champ, everyone knows I love a bad boy and I did thoroughly enjoy the love/hate dynamic between Wolfe and Francesca AKA Narcissus & Nemesis.
The story does need a bit of suspension of disbelief, which is fine by me - it's fiction after all. It's a story of a beautiful, brilliant, kind young woman who falls in love with the first person who gives her a bit of freedom, a freedom that she's never experienced before. A man who she is forced to marry and has many walls to penetrate, but who we discover is a good honest person with a lot of love to give.
If you love Mafia - villains & heroes, you will probably love this book. It has a whole lot of plot and is spectacularly written.
As always, LJ Shen delivers a fantastically worded story that will be remembered for a long time to come. I love that she takes risks and writes from the heart....more

A very uplifting and gratifying read, I enjoyed catching up with characters Sam and Amanda from a previous book, Wrecking Ball, where I first fell in love with author P Dangelico.
Ex-Alcoholic Amanda and her son Sam are off to spend the summer in the Hamptons, but an unexpected and naked roommate takes them by surprise. Grumpy Grant, an NFL giant who doesn't realise he is, in fact, a gentle giant, is the hero of our story who tries very hard to avoid the feelings Amanda brings out of him.
Both are incapable of accepting love, they don't feel like they deserve it - but it was lovely to watch the walls break down and see them finally accept that they were two broken people who had hearts of gold and lots of love to give each other.
This story felt very different from the rest of Dangelico's backlist, but I enjoyed it all the same. The lack of angst and drama was a welcome change, but I would like to see some of that back in force again in the future.
I had a good time reading this one, I loved the characters, the witty banter, and the storyline wasn't too shabby either.

If you are a fan of office romance, alpha holes, feisty heroines and a slow burn romance, then this is a good book to pick up.
I did love Célian and his inevitable fall - he fought his feelings, but not so much that he was an a-hole throughout the entire book. I was glad to see the relaxed side to him, and the caring side that he rarely showed when he was being the ruthless newsroom director.
Jude was a relatable heroine, and although there was the predictable 'other woman' drama, it didn't detract me from enjoying the story.
I always get excited when LJ Shen releases a new book, and this latest did not disappoint.

Contains cheating, plenty of it. Felt like old school New Adult drama fest, which I almost couldn't cope with, but couldn't put it down and so now I am binge reading the whole series!

I must admit that it's been too long since I picked up a Samantha Young novel, but the blurb for Fight or Flight tickled my fancy and I just had to have it!
Caleb & Ava meet on a flight after broody Scotsman Caleb seriously pisses Ava off at the checkout counter, and thus their story begins with serious enemies-to-lovers vibes.
High on banter, constant back and forth sniping, and huge amounts of sexual chemistry, finishing off with a nice bit of swoon.
