Boston Belles - Villain

Product Information

There were so many scenes where Cillian had meetings with his British lawyer, I forgot the guy's name, but he's the Hero in The Rake, and they were talking about strategies of destroying Andrews and dragging his name through the mud. His humor was funny 😂😂 even though he was being dead serious when he was saying or thinking about some things. He’s become THE hero for me from this point forward and I don’t think anyone can ever take his place in my heart. But after reading about the less than desirable experiences readers and small authors had with the street team (and still no official statement from said street team), I went with the latter rating.

Cillian, *sigh*, I went from hate to love with him through the whole story, he's worse than Vicious, Troy and Celian combined, he dethroned to all them, so cold, so cruel, so ruthless, but as the story progresses, we see layers and layers in his personality, and as the chapters go by, my feelings changed, and I fell in love with him. Cillain Fitzpatrick and Persephone Penrose give this greek myth a twist that is unique, powerful and deeply moving.Persy had enough backbone to fight back for things that really mattered to her and that's something I can respect. The more secrets and layers of ice that needs chipped away from a cold heart only makes the H more enticing. She had a character and they had more connection in one little scene than Cillian and Persy had in the whole book. He is as cold and calculating as we hoped he would be, but what I really loved is the why behind it.

The evolution of their relationship is so much more than just physical, it is a tiny component of who these two come to be because of the way they love each other.I dived into The Villain in total blind, not knowing what to expect, giving the author my complete trust. Yeah, he’s misunderstood, hates almost everyone else except his girl—but that applies to nearly all the assholes L. If THIS incident of him saving her would have triggered her into falling in love with him, I might have understood. Also Cillian’s past scared me honestly and it DID give me a clear picture as to why he is the way he is. Just when you think Leigh Shen can't top The Hunter in the Boston Belles series, she turns around and drops The Villain as the EPIC MIC DROP on a truly phenomenal year of writing.

If you need one reason to pick this story up and surrender to its lush pages, let that reason be Persephone Penrose, a queen that made me adore her from the first page. We are presented with a truly remarkable story and some situations that give us enough insight into the understanding that love really is the most dangerous of emotions, something that we have no control over and something that without warning can render even the strongest individual powerless to change its path. I mean it's great that LJ wants to include things like that into her books, but if you do it, at least do it right. I connect with her, with her story, with her definition of happiness, maybe deep down I cherish the same dream too. There is a lot of push and pull which I love, but the best, BEST, part was when Persy finally says enough and walks away and it’s up to Kill to do the chasing for once.

I’ve seen multiple heroes say something along the lines, “she makes me feel like a teenage boy” when the heroine makes the hero flustered.

Perfect heroes, phenomenal story and attention to details – these three makes Shen books fantastic and loved by the readers.If you've been waiting for the author to switch up her regular formula, welcome, because here is a new Leigh. Persy, Dios mío, es mi heroína favorita hasta la fecha, tan leal, tan valiente, tan fiera y apasionada, aunque es dulce y tiene un corazón puro, su fuerza interior lo es todo, ella lucha tanto por los que ama, muero de amor por ella ! He trained himself to not feel anything by getting into fights and let Andrew beat and abuse him for years.
