From Wall Street Journal best-selling author L.J. Shen comes a brand-new romantic mafia stand-alone about the thin line between love and obsession.“Maybe we were never meant for each other. But that night at the carnival, when you showed me who you were, I figured out who I wanted to be.”The most important thing I'd ever read was scribbled on the door of a portable restroom, engraved into plastic at a carnival on the outskirts of Boston.Lust lingers, love stays.Lust is impatient, love waits.Lust burns, love warms.Lust destroys, but love? Love kills.Maybe it was always my destiny to fall in love with a monster.When other kids stayed awake at night fearing the pointy-toothed beast hiding in their closet, I longed to see mine.I wanted to feed it, domesticate it, understand it.Sam and I were only allowed to love each other in the dark.Once our story unfolded, and the truth came to light, I was the one to cut the cord.My name is Aisling Fitzpatrick, and I have a confession to make.Sam Brennan is not the only monster in this story.
Once again LJ Shen writes a MMC that you want to hate, that you should hate but you end up loving. She brings the “he falls HARDER” trope to a new level with her MMCs. We meet Sam and Aisling in the two previous books in the series and could always feel the undercurrent of something between them. They meet each other early in their lives, before anyone else in the families meet and share a kiss and a secret. Fast forward years later. He’s decided (and paid to do so) that she’s off limits. She’s decided it’s time to make him hers. They each have some self loathing that makes them feel like they are monsters. And monsters are drawn to other monsters in the most spicy way! Aisling has loved Sam all of her adult life but knows she can never have him because Sam has made it clear he hates all women and will never love one. It takes a while for him to realize he loves one woman very deeply, and he soon realizes that monsters can be worthy of love too. This book was angsty and spicy and had a fantastic twist that showed that Aisling wasn’t the pushover everyone (including myself) thought she was. Of course it had the required HEA (I wouldn’t have given it 5⭐️ without it!)
