“Broken Knight” by L.J Shen

 

Life is like a book, a long chain of scenes threaded together by circumstances and fate. You never know how thick or thin your book is, so you better make the most out of every scene, enjoy each chapter.”

This is the third time that I’ve read this book and the truth is that I will read it again many times because I love it so much! This book is not a simple love story. This book is so much more.

“There will be no one else, Moonshine.I will never let you get over me.”

Knight is the adopted son of my favorite Dean “Ruckus” Cole but he is so much like his father! He loves fiercely, he feels deeply and he cares so much that he’s hurting. He’s trying to do his best under the worst circumstances and sometimes I was so afraid for him. What he feels for Luna is amazing but he had to overcome his dark phase and I was glad to see that he did it right on time. His pain was so raw but, thankfully, he had help so he could heal.

Luna is a very special young woman. Through love, pain, bad and good decisions, she finds herself and her confidence. She is silent but she’s the strength behind every person in this story. She barely talks but her actions speak loudly.

“Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.”

Their love story is amazing because it’s real. They made mistakes, they said cruel things but true love overcomes every obstacle!

Now, this book isn’t only about Knight and Luna. This book is about Dean and Rosie also and their part broke me. I knew that Rosie would die young but everything she did, everything she said, the way Dean was feeling… it was too much for me. I couldn’t stop crying! They way they loved each other was amazing!

“Ride or die,” he whispered.

“Ride.” I closed my eyes, smiling. “Always ride.”

This book is one of my favorites and it will be always in my heart!

“Pretty Reckless” by L.J. Shen

 

“I’ve loved you in secret, and I’ve loved you openly in front of both our worlds, and if you think I’ll stop loving you if you put an ocean between us, you’re dead wrong.”

It’s time for the second generation of sinners and I have to say that they’ll give their parents a run for their money! This book was very good and you know why? Because the main characters had many faults and they were the real deal!

“Love. Four letters can't cover what I feel for Daria Followhill. They seem too trivial, too small, too overused.”

I’ll start with Daria. She is the queen in All Saints High and she acts like a total bitch. She wants for the whole world to see her ugly side. But deep down, she’s just a scared girl with too many regrets. Although, she’s trying so hard to pretend she’s bad, it’s easy to see that she’s crying for help.

“We break things all the time. It's called life. If you don't break, you don't live. You don't move. You don't try. You don't take chances. Breaking is a part of living.”

Penn is the right man for Daria. He’s the one who can see past her armor and give her the love she deserves. The fact that he is hot and the chemistry between them is amazing is a bonus!

It was good to see Jamie’s and Mel’s POV and to see that their love is pretty strong after so many years!

“Bane” by L.J. Shen

 

“Spoiler: the princess saves herself in this fairytale.”

Of course I loved this book! It’s not an easy story to read because there is too much pain, but it is very well written with interesting characters. What I liked most was the fact that this story shows us that we have to be strong and to fight for our lives.

“Maybe love wasn’t about feeling happy and whole. Maybe love was about breaking so the person you cared for would feel a little more whole.”

Bane is a man with many demons. But the truth is that these demons aren’t truly his. He believes that because his father was bad, he’s going to be bad too. He’s trying to do great things, but in the process he lost a part of himself. And when Jesse came to his life, it’s time to be the man he truly is.

“You didn’t just walk into my life…You stormed into it. You left me no choice but to heal. Now I want everything.”

Jesse’s past is beyond words. What she went through was horrific and it’s easy to break her. It was good to see that she tried to take her life back. It wasn’t easy but step by step she managed to succeed. She’s so strong and she did everything in her power to make the bastards pay for what they did to her. I loved the way she was with Bane and I truly believe that they’re perfect for each other!

A great story but, to be honest, I missed the Four HotHoles a lot!!!
