Summary

Bane

Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief, and a fraud. 

Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living. 

Which is why I’m more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all - looking humbled. 

Thing is, I’m on a boycott. Literally - cut boys from my life. Permanently. 

Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies. 

Jesse Carter

Hot as hell, cold as ice. 

I wasn’t aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap. 

She’s a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time. 

She is collateral, a means to an end, and a side bonus for striking a deal with her oil tycoon stepdad. 

More than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack. 

Little does she know, I have the f--king teeth for it.

wow, what a story!

This is not for the faint hearted, filled with nasty people, child abuse and rape. In fact the subject matter is really sordid. Having said this, it is well written and I am so pleased that Bane and Jessie saved each other.

I could not get enough of these characters

This one was definitely on the darker side in this series. I could not get enough of these characters. They were both equally intriguing with past traumas that had me shocked and actually crying. LJ really fleshed these characters out so much, they have so much depth they felt like real people. I loved how Bane was just himself from start to finish and really focused on helping Jesse come out of her shell. He protected her something fierce but 100% believed that he is not her Prince Charming because she is strong enough to save herself. While he was helping her get reacquainted with the outside world, after becoming a recluse because of her trauma, she actually helped him more in the end by discovering himself and his worth. This was such an incredible story, I cannot get over it. LJ really outdid herself with this one.

This was definitely my favorite book of the series, simply for the fact that it produced such an emotional punch.

This series really had everything I needed and more. Definitely a LJ Shen fan for life.

Excellent story

This book was very emotional, but also very witty and it kept you guessing about what was going to happen next. I would say definitely worth a listen. I immensely enjoyed it!!

Totally unexpected

This is a great story, I would never have thought so many horrible memories couldn’t lead to it’s ending. Fantastic
