Not for me... i only read one chapter and it was awful... anoying and didn't feel the connection with main character... I just wanted to roll my eyes... terrible way to begin a book!
So, I've had this book in my TBR for a while, and I was content for it to sit there. You know how it goes, too many books and not enough time. When I scored a ticket to the Four Brits Book Signing in Manchester, England this past weekend I wanted to have at least started something by LJ Shen when I met her, so I loaded up the audiobook and set to it. Oh, My God!!! Why did it take me so long? Why didn't anyone harass me about reading this book? I love how LJ Shen is able to make me fall in love with such an a-hole and she did it while he was still being a jerk! Normally I want that guy to suffer, and he does suffer but the way she has written this book just made me fall in love. I loved her style and cannot wait to read about the other Hot-Holes.
This is a story that will have you questioning everything. Why is he doing this? Why'd he say that? Why doesn't someone do something? Why are they letting this happen? What is going on? Why doesn't she punch him in the balls? And you will love having those questions and it'll keep you guessing throughout the book. If you love bad boy stories this one is a must read/ listen.
This book is full of characters that are interesting, and you want to know more about. The Hot-Holes for example, I need all of their stories. And Rosie's, I like her and think her book will be awesome.
Vicious is an a-hole but I loved him. He had sweet moments, especially the more you find out about him and the things he did and why. He's such a ‘bad boy' but he has heart and after everything he's experienced you can understand it. Here's what I love about this book, he's still a bad boy at the end, he doesn't change as much as he opens himself up to love. I liked that, it was a different change of pace to most books.
I really like Emilia, she didn't take his crap. She worked hard for her family and did what needed to be done, even if that meant walking away from everything. She was a strong woman and we all know how much I love those.
Their relationship was one of turmoil to say the least. They fought, and they loved, and it was fun to listen and see the twists and turns of their relationship and where their lives took them. They had some very steamy moments that'll heat up your kindle, they were placed well and helped give a little more insight into these characters and their feelings.
I really enjoyed the narration, I thought it worked well as a dual narration and both Savannah Peachwood and Christian Rummel were wonderful. Savannah's performance of Emilia was fantastic, I loved how she conveyed her emotions. Christian's performance of Vicious was riveting, he played the bully with a sweet-side incredibly well. I will definitely be looking for more of their work in the future. The production was smooth with no issues.

I had a good time reading it but I didn't really love it. I also went in with the expectation that this was going to be a high school bully romance and it wasn't which threw me off a lot.
