DNF @ 38% I’m bored. I don’t really like or dislike enough to like any of the characters. I don’t really see that changing.I have no interest in investing anymore time. Bummer. Oh well. XXXXXXXDidn't particularly love book one, but I'm determined to love an LJ Shen book...and this is available via KU...so why not, right?

➦I went in blind into this one. By now I've read enough from Leigh Shen to know that this lady can write. Every book might not be my cuppa but the writing is always impeccable and I never have any trouble plowing through her books in a matter of a day or two. Well, Ruckus here was no exception.➦L.J. Shen's ability to create unique characters is outstanding. This couple here, I loved. They had great chemistry on the pages and there was some kind of magic happening for sure. It's some sort of tric...

A steaming HOT romance with a handsome HOT hero, who is one intense HOT mess!! This is book two of a four book series, “Sinners of Saint,” but can be read as a stand alone.I was so happy to meet Ruckus and Rosie and enjoyed their bumpy ride to happiness.I loved their banter and sass. I loved their loyalty. And, I especially loved how Ruckus is a complete force of nature who refused to be denied. ”...I live for you. I breathe for you. I will die for you. It. Has. Always. Been. You.” A big shout...

“I was fucking chaos, brewing anarchy everywhere I went. Everyone knew that.” RUCKUS! Oh how I have wanted to get my hands on you! And then to top off my severe impatience for this book (I didn’t think it was possible to want it even more), when I saw the cover I was bursting out of my skin to read this one. I mean seriously, who doesn’t love a wet and soapy Dean aka Ruckus? L.J. Shen has become one of those go to authors for me because of her compelling plot lines and the characters

"What makes you feel alive?" Ruckus is the second book in the Sinners of Saint Series, and Dean Cole and Rosie LeBlanc share an epic love story that will leave you breathless. This contemporary read full of complex characters, fiery passion, friendship, and unforgettable romance can be read as a stand-alone. However, I highly recommend reading Defy and Vicious before digging into all things DEAN! "I'm about to rewrite the pages of our fucking history, baby." Dean Cole is no stranger to Ros

1.) Vicious ★★★★This was enjoyable for the most part; I think I just really don't like Dean whatsoever. I was just side-eyeing so much. And this epilogue? Lord, help us all.

I DNFed after he f**ked her without condom.I knew it wouldn't be a safe read and since I didn't read the 1st book, naive ol' me had a hope it wouldn't be that disturbing. Nope, it was.Disgusting abhorrent manwhore with zero respect for women. Is it a type of a new romance hero? Is that what women yearn for? Do we, women, want to be treated this way?!Apparently the scene with 2 OWs should have "prettified" his image. I don't know, do you?I can only speak for myself, but I would never ever touch a...

The second book in the 'Sinners of Saint' series, 'Ruckus' tells the story of Dean Cole and Rosie LeBlanc. I was a little weary going into this book because of Dean's history with Rosie's older sister. I wasn't sure that was something that I was going to be able to get past. Fortunately, I did. Dean Cole is a hard-partying, manwhore. He is one of the hotholes and is used to getting everything he wants. If he was a spoiled rich kid in high school, he has only gotten worse as a grown man. His life...

Judging by the reviews: Highly unpopular opinion and massive, massive spoiler alert!1.5 starsEdit 05/26: Actually, thinking about the whole teenage timeline, I've realised that a lot of the first book's part, Vicious, was cheapened to make Dean's decisions make look better and endear him to the reader. Too bad that the characters of the first book had to take a hit for that. This just deepens my dislike of this book.********************************************I don't even know where to start.A p...

Please check how honestly, clearly and beautifully my friend MissDemanour explained what is disturbing in Dean & Rosie's book RUCKUS. Hers is the best review I have read on this book. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...***********************************************My revised review on RUCKUS: (3 out of 2,5)I needed to reread certain parts of this book and revise my initial review because Ms Shen messed with my mind in this book and so many things were bugging me!I must confess that I was n...

5 "Baby LeBlanc" stars!!! “Stars also symbolize the cycle of life, solitude and gravity. They glow in the dark energy that’s the majority of space, and remind us that even in the pitch black, there’s always something that can shine.” Dean Cole, the heart of the HotHoles, the softie, the nice guy who would date a girl just so he could save her from her assholish boyfriend even when that asshole is his own friend. Even when he's in love with that girl's dying sister. He had waited and su...

5 MOTHER EFFING STARS Dean Cole was nothing like people pegged him. He was the worst kind of devil. One that hid behind a polite smile, preppy clothes, and good manners. Confession time: I was equally ready to part with an ovary to get my grabby little hands on this book and dreading it. I know! I know! Quit looking at me like I'm crazy, I'll splain everything. I was excited as hell for this book because I live for LJ's words. LIVE for them. But a part of me was dreading it because Dea...

5 stars!!! “Stars also symbolize the cycle of life, solitude and gravity. They glow in the dark energy that’s the majority of space, and remind us that even in the pitch black, there’s always something that can shine.” Ruckus is the second book in Shen’s ‘Sinner’s of Saint’ series, the third if you count the novella… and by far my FAVORITE. Dean and Rosie’s story was so much more than I thought it would be and I loved it to pieces! I expected to enjoy it, as I enjoyed the others

Okay... So, I joined the rest of the screaming fans as wellANDI am really sorry, but I did NOT like the bookWhen I was reading the story,...my primary concern was to convince myself that Dean (aka Ruckus) and Rosie fit together. I failed....my secondary concern was to convince myself that Rosie has made more sacrifices than Emilia. I failed.I think that my main issue is that I did not like Rosie. For the majority of the book, I could not stand her bitterness and her jealousy for her older sister...

Live early and only 99 cents! Go go go!! http://amzn.to/2qPBy9r L. J Shen knows certainly knows how to make you fall in love with a hothole and let me tell you, if Vicious was your everything in book 1, then Dean “Ruckus” Cole is going to obliterate you and you’re going to love every minute of it! Your mind will no longer be your own because it’s going to be filled with nothing but thoughts about him, and your body is going to Crave him like the perfect drug that he is. But that’s noth

4 STARS ”…there is something you should know before you judge me. I saw him first. I craved him first. I loved him first.” [image error]L.J. Shen doesn’t disappoint with the second book of this series that can be read as a standalone however the characters are introduced in the first book of this series. She gifts a high on chemistry and banter couple with a hero is that is not as brutal as Vicious but just as sexy. The heroine, Rosie is the little sister of the heroine from the prior book in

4.5 starsRuckus was one of my most highly anticipated books of this year. I wanted this book bad, people! Ever since I finished Vicious, I have been dreaming about this book. I was never worried if I would like it or not. So far, everything that I have read by L. J. Shen has been a five star read for me. She is one of the most talented writers that I have ever had the pleasure of reading, and she sits firmly at the top of my favorite authors of all time. This story just showed me even more why s...

IT'S LIVE!!! - http://amzn.to/2qPBy9r "I'm about to rewrite the pages of our fucking history, baby." I've read a few books by L.J Shen and yet I'm still in awe over how captivating her stories are. From the second I picked up Ruckus I was in full on reading-beast mode and yelling at everyone that tried to interrupt me. L.J's writing is just that good for me and I don't think I'll ever get enough. Dean 'Ruckus' Cole has now become one of my most loved Alpha Heroes and I'm pretty sure he...

I'm going to try and make this as spoiler free as I possibly can because there are a few wee twists and turns thrown in for good measure that will have you falling in love with Dean even more than you were beforehand. 🎶 PLAY LIST 🎶 Halsey – Hold Me DownHey Violet – Guys My AgeTrain – Drops of JupiterFall Out Boy – ImmortalsHooverphonic – Mad About YouBreathe Me - Sia RUCKUS: Is the second instalment in the (Sinners 0f Saint#2) series by L.J.
