Publisher's Summary

From best-selling author L. J. Shen comes a new stand-alone contemporary romance.

Now a Top 10 Amazon Best Seller

"Best book of the year" (Angie's Dreamy Reads)

"Best book I have ever read" (Bookalicious Babes Blog)

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 33.

I am 18.

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.

*4 Stars*

I liked the story of Trent and Edie - and while I had some idea how things would play out, because I've read the next gen books, it was great go back and read some more of the OG series. I liked Trent and Edie, even if things did start out really mean between them. Edie is such a strong person and I loved the way she was with Luna, and how she was always looking out for Theo and others.

The audio narration from both narrators was great in this, and it brought the characters to life nicely. I loved how things played out for dear old Jordan - go Trent! - and was definitely hooked on the rollercoaster that Trent and Edie went through.

Would recommend.

Age gap romance

Scandalous by L.J. Shen is the third book in the Sinners of Saint series.

Edie and Trent’s story is an age gap, single father romance. Both are wealthy, one who resents where it comes from and the other who worked hard for it. Along with the fact that Edie’s father loathes Trent, well the feeling there is completely mutual. Which really does amp up the chemistry between these two.

The story is from dual POV’s from both Edie and Trent.

I liked that the timeline continues on from the extra 3 years added in at the end of Ruckus, as you don’t realise at the time how important that bump in time is.

However, I didn’t like Edie’s immaturity. I think if there wasn’t an age gap of 15 years that it probably wouldn’t be as noticeable. But since Trent is older, it comes across. And I felt like the only reason they even got together is because of Trent’s daughter Luna.

Slow burn

It take many chapters to understand where the story is taking you and to decide that your loving the story and need to hear it all now! Despite feeling at the beginning that it nearly feels like teenage porn and you shouldn’t be listening but you seem to grow into the characters and accept the age challenges that the characters face.
You feel for Eddie and the shitty parental role models she has and the your rooting for her to get everything she deserves. Trent is a softy on the inside and narrated perfectly
Thoroughly enjoyed the story. Sexy and insightful. You hold your breath hoping that love and commonsense wins out.

wow.. Hot.. suspense a plenty..

This book definitely gets you thinking.. self made or Silverspoon, all that matters is the person inside...
I loved this book and getting another element to the Hot heads family. A nice mix of angst, aggression, sex, love, sadness and good old karma...
looking forward to the next book.

Brilliant

A story that makes you think about the Upperclass live
with the lower class
quite an interesting story. Including the unkindness of many human beings behind closed doors.
