Summary

Bane

Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief, and a fraud.

Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living.

Which is why I’m more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all - looking humbled.

Thing is, I’m on a boycott. Literally - cut boys from my life. Permanently.

Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.

Jesse Carter

Hot as hell, cold as ice.

I wasn’t aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap.

She’s a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time.

She is collateral, a means to an end, and a side bonus for striking a deal with her oil tycoon stepdad.

More than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack.

Little does she know, I have the f--king teeth for it.

Highly recommend - dark, gritty, intriguing

Dark, gritty, intriguing. The characters are very likeable; I enjoyed the plot and wanted to listen to more. I liked that characters are featured from other books.

Obsessed!

I loved this entire series. I listened to all four books in a week and will definitely be revisiting them...once I've devoured the rest of the books written by LJ Shen.

I could not get enough of these characters

This one was definitely on the darker side in this series. I could not get enough of these characters. They were both equally intriguing with past traumas that had me shocked and actually crying. LJ really fleshed these characters out so much, they have so much depth they felt like real people. I loved how Bane was just himself from start to finish and really focused on helping Jesse come out of her shell. He protected her something fierce but 100% believed that he is not her Prince Charming because she is strong enough to save herself. While he was helping her get reacquainted with the outside world, after becoming a recluse because of her trauma, she actually helped him more in the end by discovering himself and his worth. This was such an incredible story, I cannot get over it. LJ really outdid herself with this one.

This was definitely my favorite book of the series, simply for the fact that it produced such an emotional punch.

This series really had everything I needed and more. Definitely a LJ Shen fan for life.

Amazing emotional story. A fantastic listen

Jesse was brutally broken by people who she trusted Her mum was the worst of all as shei is so self centred and she never supported her daughter even when she needed her the most. Jesse needed a special kind of person to give her the courage reclaim her independence and herself to live and feel again. Bane is fascinating, mysterious character, He is a con artist and a sexy infamous ladies man. He can be scarly intimidating but he is definitely the perfect choice for Jesse.
I loved how strong she became after she got her groove back. "I would spread and conquer and be remembered" (Jesse's words)
not without the help of the highly complicated imperfect hero. They had amazing chemistry and they saved each really, as Bane had his own demons that he needed to be freed from. In the end, justice was served to wrongdoers and the wrong decided to be Victors instead of victims.

Christian Rummel brings his A game

I'm a big fan of Savannah Peachwood she's a fantastic narrator and this series is perfection for her as usual. in the last couple of books I found Christian Rummel 's female MC voice hard to distinguish and lost track of who was speaking sometimes...not this time, he did an amazing job of the character with a lisp and his female MC voice was obvious and on point. well done Mr Rummel your A game was perfection, I thoroughly enjoyed both performances. this series has had me gripped from the start and I devoured each book one after the other.
*some people may find the content of this book difficult.
