SCANDALOUS (Sinners of Saint #3) by L.J. Shen

-

 

"She's a maze with no escape. An ethereal, steady pulse. She's there but just barely. I love her so much I sometimes hate her. And it terrifies me, because deep down, I know what she is. An unsolvable puzzle. And I know who I am. The idiot who would try to fix her. At any cost."

SYNOPSIS

They call him The Mute for a reason.
Hard, cold and calculated, he rarely speaks.
When he does, it’s with disdain.
When he does, his words aren’t meant for me.
When he does, my stomach flips and my world tilts on its axis.
He is thirty-three.
I am eighteen.
He’s a single dad and my father’s business partner.
I’m just a kid to him and his enemy’s daughter.
He’s emotionally unavailable.
And I am…feeling. Feeling things I shouldn’t feel for him.
Trent Rexroth is going to break my heart. The writing isn’t just on the wall, it’s inked on my soul.
And yet, I can’t stay away.
A scandal is the last thing my family needs. But a scandal is what we’re going to give them.
And oh, what beautiful chaos it will be.

    All those hints from Ruckus! We all know from Ruckus that Trent's love interest will be the nameless daughter of the FHH partner Van Der Zee and that she's wayyyy too young as compared to Trent. And in here, we found that her name is Edie and that she's freaking 18 years old as compared to Trent who's 33 freaking years old. But is it weird that while reading this, I don't get the feeling that Trent is 33 and that he's actually younger? I don't know, maybe because I got used to him and the HotHoles being young in Vicious when they were in senior year in highschool. That's why I don't find it gross or weird that he got paired with a young woman, a freaking teenager for god's sake.

Edie!! I really loved her! She's so badass and even though she's young, she's so mature in handling things especially when it comes to her family. I really love her bond with Luna. 😍 I also love that even though she came from money, she never show it.

As for Trent, he was the member of HotHoles that I was so curious about because as compared to Vicious, Dean and Jaime, his family is not that well off. I think that's also one of the few things that I liked about the HotHoles. They do not care about the other's family background they stick with each other whatever it takes. Trent and Luna's interaction was also adorable even if Trent can't communicate that well with Luna. He is so overprotective of her.

I really loved the book! Trent and Edie's chemistry is so cute and undeniable. Their age gap as I said doesn't bother me at all because Edie is so mature for her age and Trent doesn't really feel like he's 33. I liked the story as compared to Ruckus. ✌️

THE FAVOR by Suzanne Wright

              "Love you, baby girl. You told me you don't need the words, but you deserve to hear them. I don't want you to ever be unsure of what I feel for you. I need you to know deep down to your bones that you're the most important thing in my world. I need you to know I could never love anything or anyone the way I love you."     I have to say it makes me super happy whenever I pick a book and never regretted a second reading it. This book has been-as usual- been on my TBR list since last year but I only got to pick it yesterday and I loved reading every page of it. I was so giddy while reading it I don't want it to end. SYNOPSIS Vienna Stratton knew she only had herself to blame. You didn’t let yourself become indebted to a man like Dane Davenport, no matter how badly you needed his help. As his personal assistant, she was very aware that the globally successful CEO was ruthless and unforgiving.  Of course, if she’d know...

“The universe doesn't matter, green, you do. Then. Now. Always.”   BLURB Love is impossible. Hate is an open game.   Kimberly   He was once my best friend, now he’s my worst enemy. Xander Knight is heartbreakingly beautiful. Ridiculously popular. Brutally cruel. He’s a knight but won’t do any saving. Xander   We started as a dream, now we’re a nightmare. Kimberly Reed is pathetically fake. Terribly innocent. Secretly black. She can hide but never from me.         Books that talk about mental illness always makes me a crying mess so it's no news that this book made me cry ugly. Some readers might find this book triggering because of the metal illness issue that this represents. As someone who struggles with weight loss, I relate to Kimberly because of how the people that surround her mock her. I do't really care about what people may think about my physical appearance but when some crude comments get to me, I can't help think that I'm not wort...

No one has ever made me feel more alive than the guy who serves as a constant reminder that my clock is ticking. He is my forbidden, shiny apple. The striking fallacy to my blunt, raw, truth. He is also my sister's ex-boyfriend. One thing you should know before you judge me; I saw him first. I craved him first. I loved him first. Eleven years later, he waltzes into my life, demanding a second chance. Dean Cole wants to be my bronze horseman. But my clock is ticking. See, I'm not like the rest. I have an illness. Sometimes I conquer it. Sometimes it conquers me. My white knight has finally arrived. Hopefully, he isn't too late.      Dean and Rosie!!!
