Description:
Emilia

They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true. 
The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares. 
He is a brilliant lawyer. 
A skilled criminal. 
A beautiful liar. 
A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover. 
Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him. 

Vicious

She is a starving artist. 
Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom. 
Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down. 
She paid the price. 
Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate. 
That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t. 
So she hates me. Big fucking deal. 
She better get used to me.

Spoilers ahead

This book is one of those you start it late at night you'll not want to sleep until you've finished it.

Emilia is living in Manhattan with her sister and living paycheck to paycheck. She left her home town years ago, and not voluntarily Vicious ran her out of town, and now hes stormed back into her life. 

Vicious sees Emilia working in a dive dinner and he knows he put her there. So he does the one thing any rich asshole would do. Offers her a job. She of course takes it. 

Vicious hates her all because he thinks she knows his secret, but the problem is he also is in love with her. She's his and has always been his. Even when his best friend tried to date her, she was HIS! 

Anger and Secrets lead to sexy nights.

This book is one of those ones that's a slow build up to a sexy explosion. The entire time I read this book I wanted to do this to Vicious. 

 He had his anger towards Emilia and the entire time she put up with it because she was also in love with him.  Things start to heat up between them but the take their time reaching the bedroom. And when they do not only do you shout "YES!" but the pages steam up! 

When they finally put all of their anger aside they can't keep their hands off of each other. He takes her in his best friends bed and has no remorse. And honestly I wouldn't have cared. I mean Vicious is the best.

Of course like all good romance novels there is a huge conflict. Old flings, miss information. All the good stuff! 

I feel in love with the writing style of this book. The first person view made for extra steamy.  I only gave it a 3.5 because the sexual frustration was strong with this one. But I also give it a 5 out of 5 for the steamyness when it finally hits! I wanted these characters in bed from the moment their eyes locked in the dinner. 

Through the entire book I kept screaming this! I wanted him in every way. You ever meet a book character that you wish would come alive off a page. This is one for me. Vicious is a dark bad boy with a broody attitude and all you want is to get in into your bed.

This is one of those books that you will find on your reread shelf when you want something fun and steamy. 

I highly recommend this to all my romance readers! 

"Tell me what I want." 
You want me Vicious. <3
