Emilia

They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true.The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares. He is a brilliant lawyer. A skilled criminal. A beautiful liar. A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover.

Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him.

Vicious

She is a starving artist. Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom. Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down. She paid the price.

Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate. That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t. So she hates me. Big fucking deal. She better get used to me.



My Thoughts...


I'm going to start this review by stating that the title is very accurate to the main characters personality - he is VICIOUS. And I loved him. There I said it! No matter how mean he seemed to be I just loved him more... I think there's something wrong with me but that's an evaluation for another day.

This story was well written with amazing characters, such as Emilia, Vicious, Rosie and the rest of The Hotholes. The story is about Vicious who makes Emilia's life hell from the beginning. Emilia's parents work for the Spencers as live in maid and handy workers, therefore Emilia lives on their property. It begins with Emilia being forced to speak with the Spencers son, Vicious, however when she goes to speak with him, he was in a heated conversation with someone else and Vicious assumed that Emilia found out his deepest darkest secret. Thus, being mean to her for the foreseeable future. 

Anyways, I loved Vicious even though he was being mean, I just adored him. He has his baggages that explain as to why he is very vicious and when you do learn about it you just want to hug the hell out of him. 

I really don't want to say much more than I already have in fear of spoiling it for people who have not read it. But this book was amazing and very well written, Baron 'Vicious' Spencer is definitely one of my top book boyfriends.
