Summary

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.

Excellent

Second book I have read and much to my surprise I truly enjoyed them so very much , I usually read Victorian Romance or Crime Thrillers so this has been a pleasant change for me.

Another Excellent story by L J Shen

These Boston based stories are fantastic.
Every box ticked in the making of these.
Fabulous storyline, superb characters, drama, intrigue, comedy and fitting and very hot sex scenes,as per all the LJS I’ve encountered so far. Just brilliant from start to finish.
Superb narration by this fabulous pair of narrators. #dreamteam 😁

Sam & Aisling 4 life

my favourite out of the Boston Belle series. Aisling is an unexpectedly flawed intricate character. the layers to these characters are so refreshing
spice level 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶/5

another good book

im a firm believer that a rubbish narration can make a great story sound crap and is one of the first things I look for in a review but yet again these 2 deliver another top performance bringing the characters and story to life with their skills. this authors ability to cover prominent and often difficult topics within the storyline in a compassionate manner is one of the reasons I enjoy their books so much, it adds depth to the storyline and helps to build the characters within the books. well worth credit.

I think I liked this one best.

I really enjoyed this book. Sam was really mean but you got to understand the reasons as the story progressed.
The only thing that spoiled it was the the female narrators male voice. Off putting at times.

Amazing

I loved reading Sam and Aisling’s story. There were some real twists and I loved all of them. Massive book hangover looming I just wish I hadn’t finished it so quickly 😢

Sam & Aisling was perfect

Great book, great narration. My only wish is that more authors consider dual narration as it would have made this audiobook so much more amazing! i recently relistened to one of Jacob Morgan's dual narrated book and was spoilt haha.

A bit of stretch on the underworld.

I love Shen's stories but the heroine and anti hero were a bit to base for my liking...but I warmed to them eventually. I loved the authenticity of the language for the characters and it made me laugh out loud on occasions. This was still a good "read" in my opinion.

Good Listen!

Another good and easy listen in the series. Made more enjoyable by the narration from male and female performers. The right amount of sexy, romance and drama.
