I didn't mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened. Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 89
Célian Laurent. Manhattan royalty. Notorious playboy. Heir to a media empire...and my new boss. I could have impressed him, if not for last month's unforgettable one-night stand. I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory - namely, his wallet. Now he's staring me down like I'm the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I'm supposed to take it. But the thing about being Judith "Jude" Humphry is I have nothing to lose. Brooklyn girl. Infamously quirky. Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.

Maddie Goldbloom stitched up a plan to ensure everything in her life was perfect - from a career in fashion to a chic NYC apartment to a pediatrician boyfriend. When her ex, Chase Black, storms back into her life with an outrageous request, her immediate reaction is to refuse him. But he only wants to fulfill his father’s last wish. So even though he’s the man who broke her heart, playing his fiancée shouldn’t be hard, especially if it means she gets to watch the arrogant devil squirm a bit.

I landed in hot water with the tabloids one too many times. What can I say? My nipple wanted to come out and say hi to the paparazzi. After that, my father presented me with an ultimatum—either he cuts off the gravy train and stops paying for my lavish lifestyle or I agree to have a live-in bodyguard. And by bodyguard, I mean a sexy, formidable, out-of-this-world babysitter who just happens to be good at breaking spines. Ransom Lockwood, ladies and gentlemen.

Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours. A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land. An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny. We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together. Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here. In New York. And he’s America’s music obsession.

It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love. He’s fueled by revenge.

In the beginning, there was Savannah Shaw. Teasing me with a mischievous, merciless grin by day. Crawling through my window with tear-stained cheeks by night. I was ordered to avoid her. Lectured on her misdeeds. Forbidden from seeing her. But my need to protect her was innate. So natural I never questioned it. So visceral I couldn’t fight it.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Hawken Trent. So polite. So sweet. Such an upstanding young man. A virgin, too, I hear. He never gets naughty with a girl. Probably because Jesus told him not to. And now here he is, trying to be the hero by protecting another girl from me. He calls me a bully. Irrational. Unreasonable. A criminal. He can call me anything he wants, I’ve heard worse. And he can try to stand between me and my money, but he’s never had to fight for food. That rich, clean, school boy doesn’t have what it takes

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
Secretly hooking up with the team captain's sister was a bad idea. In my defense, the first time I saw her I didn't know who she was. Kind, gorgeous, a little naïve. Ginny brightened my world from day one. I knew I was no good for her. She was just out of a relationship, and I had a reputation for having a new girl in my bed every weekend. I tried to do the right thing. Honest. I'm the one who insisted we should be just friends. That lasted about as long as you'd expect. But Ginny? She's the best - best friend, best everything.

Publisher's Summary
We were supposed to be best friends....
But turned out to be worst enemies.
Penn
They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart was completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it - I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.
Daria
Everyone loves a good old, unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and I want nothing more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.
More from the same

A must read!
Pretty Reckless by LJ Shen is one of those books that you have a hard time putting down. I felt like I had been transported to another world while listening to this audiobook. I've found myself making excuses to get in the car so I could escape to Todos Santos and finally reach the end of Daria and Penn's story.
Daria is the rich princess and captain of the cheer squad who is living in her seemingly perfect castle. In reality though she is the school's mean girl with her list of sins growing longer and longer. Yet despite this, you can't help but like her and want for her to get her happy ever after.
Then you have Penn, the poor kid, the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks. He's captain of the rival football team working towards a college scholarship so he can turn it all around.
Daria and Penn have all of the chemistry and so much emotion between them - although it's not always the good emotions.
This story gave me so many feels, I can't think of another book which had me swinging so hard from one extreme to the other. A must read!

SHEN DOES IT FOR HER READERS AGAIN - 2019 🔱
I just want to quickly say before i start my review that i got the audio version of this book, but haven't had great experiences with previous audios so was a little hesitant. I can't get into them, the voices are just all wrong from what's in my head BUT... I am happy to say this might have been the one to convert me? Pretty Reckless was the first audio book I have ever listened to from start to finish in one sitting and I loved it! It took me the first chapter or so to get use to it... it's like my brain struggles to read the story if I'm not actually reading it, but come a few chapters in and I had this sheeit down like Charlie Brown 😉 OR, It might have been the story was just so damn good a didn't give a hoot what it sounded like?
WOW, WOW, WOW....PR (Pretty Reckless) is going straight into my 2019 BEST OF BOOKS, and let me tell you they are far and few between. I am truly awed at how LJ SHEN continues to outdo herself and just when you think her last book is best of, she blows her readers minds with her next!!! Makes it next to impossible to single any of her reads out as your favorite, let me tell you!
PR is the next generation of the "Hothole's" literally... and this book featured Jamie and Mel's daughter, Daria and what it means to be the "popular" girl and sometimes it just ain't all its cracked up to be? This book blew any expectations I had right out of the universe and I'm so glad I temporarily dropped everything to hear this one out, couldn't have put it down if I tried... the story revolves around high school life but was anything and everything high school. If you are one to shy away from these reads, PLEASE DON'T! This is so beyond what you would expect from this sub-genre... and there is no "norm" when it comes to this author, it's not even in her vocabulary, so I'm not surprised.
Firstly, I was totally shocked by the family dynamics. Who would have thought it would be an anything but perfect? What a tragic yet DEFYing outcome.
Secondly, Penn and Daria... perfect! From the first time they met the bond was real and I was hooked. A boy from the wrong side of the tracks to a girl with everything, yet both lived in worlds with equally fkd up situations, this book dealt with some pretty serious real-life stuff that can make or break you, but Daria, Penn and everyone (Well maybe not everyone) handled it wonderfully, all contributing to making this story just a little bit special 😍
Thirdly, there is no thirdly....I cannot say anymore!
The only thing left to say is GO. GET. THIS. BOOK!

Pretty Reckless
Wow I don’t even know where to start with this!!
I have been waiting what feels like forever to get my hands on this book and it was everything and more. The hot holes still being their badass selves and the totholes (love this name for them) growing older and wiser is what I live for.
L. J. Shen is truly a master with the words and knows how to weave a story that will have you hooked from start to finish.
Seeing the relationship between Daria and Penn grow and adapt to each new hurdle that life through at them as well as the everyday struggles that teenagers (as well as the parents of said teenagers) face and conquer was so very real and relatable that it felt like I was experiencing those things right along with the characters.
Not going to lie, I went through most of this book hating Mel and Via and basically just wanting to scream and throw my ereader across the room at some points with some of the actions and decisions that had been made, Jaime had always been my least favourite of the hot holes, with Daria being my least favourite of the offspring but by the end of the book I had a new found understanding and love for the hurt and pasts that shaped them all as people.
The way L. J. Shen wove this tale, you can’t help but to fall in love with even the most broken and screwed up characters and gave a life and light to issues and flaws that I think everyone has faced and experienced at some point.
If you haven’t read the Sinners of Saint series yet I can recommend enough that you get on that so that you may experience all that is Pretty Reckless. It is truly 100/10!!!

Deserves 10 stars
L. J. Shen is a genius.
I always think she can’t out do her previous books but she definitely can.
Each time I’m amazed at how clever her writing is and how your interest never fades.
Loved the narration. Michael Crouch was brilliant.

Wow
So many strong emotions in this story. The girl you wanted to hate, but at times so understood. Was a great read. Emotional roller coaster. Narration was awesome.

Don't waste your time
This is one of the worst books I have ever read/listened to. I don't mind teenage angst but this book is just ridiculous, not even the sex scenes could keep me interested hahaha it's so negative, and what the hell is with her depraved relationship with the school principal?! It's not sexy to be abusing a student in any way.
The audiobook itself is well read, the narrators have done a good job. Just a crap storyline

The ending is overboard
Didn't read the last 3 chapters. I know this is written for YA and teenagers but the ending is so overdone. Good banter in the first half. I read a lot of books and my bar is not that high, so when I say I didn't finish a book it means it went south fast. The scene with all the teenagers together towards the end is so unbelievable, especially the banter between characters during that moment. I think it's an amazing feet to write a book and perhaps that overcooked style is popular with an audience under 18. However, I still think a portion of the audience that age would also be too smart.
