Synopsis
They say your first kiss should be earned.
Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky.
They say the vows you take on your wedding day are sacred.
Mine were broken before we left church.
They say your heart only beats for one man.
Mine split and bled for two rivals who fought for it until the bitter end.
I was promised to Angelo Bandini, the heir to one of the most powerful families in the Chicago Outfit.
Then taken by Senator Wolfe Keaton, who held my father’s sins over his head to force me into marriage.
They say that all great love stories have a happy ending.
I, Francesca Rossi, found myself erasing and rewriting mine until the very last chapter.
One kiss.
Two men.
Three lives.
Entwined together.
And somewhere between these two men, I had to find my forever.

My Review
' 5 THE BIG BAD WOLFE STARS '
A story of a Nemesis and a Villain with no chance at a happy ending. Where the prince doesn't save the princess. He tortures her. And the beauty doesn't sleep. She's stuck. In a nightmare.
THE KISS THIEF:
A story of a Nemesis and a Villain with no chance at a happy ending. Where the prince doesn't save the princess. He tortures her. And the beauty doesn't sleep. She's stuck. In a nightmare.
THE KISS THIEF:
Is a full length contemporary Romance novel. Spoken in Dual Perspectives.
It all started with a wooden chest carved and made by a witch encasing three notes which would predict her future..The first note said 'I was going to be kissed by the love of my life.'
This was utterly unique, utterly un-put-down-able, utterly captivating, and utterly memorable, utter perfection. I couldn’t put it down, I didn’t want to put it down, I devoured this, I inhaled this, I loved this more than words can convey, L.J. Shen has got her grooooove back and she is un-stop-able!! What a way to set the new year on fire!! A little old fashioned story that will capture your heart, set your panties afire, and leave you gasping for more.
The heroine is like nothing I have ever encountered before, she’s polished, sophisticated, a socialite by name, born in a gilded cage, risking escape would result in death. A chimney smoking character that will win your heart in many ways.
This starts off with nineteen year old Francesca getting initiated into the Chicagoan Society by allowing her to pick her own husband from thousands of eligible men affiliated from the Outfit. Instead of college she was choosing the perfect husband. But she already knew within her heart who was going to be of her choosing,
And that man was Angelo, she’s known him since birth.
The Masquerade theme was gods and goddesses, Francesca had chosen to go as Nemesis the goddess of retribution.
They say your first kiss should be earned. Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky.
A kiss that was mean't for her chosen was stolen from her, and the man responsible was thirty year old Senator Wolfe Keaton, the most desirable man in Chicago, this one kiss set the ball rolling into unknown charters.
It was just a stupid, fun tradition. Hardly a scientific fact. Surely, not all the predictions written on the notes turned out to be true. I probably wouldn't even see Wolfe Keaton ever again.
This set the pace perfectly, retaliation, retribution, a debt paid in full..
This book right here was one of my most highly anticipated books, I couldn't wait for 2018 to be over with, I wasn't so patient to get my hands on it, I stalked the ass off it, the teasers made that anticipation the times worse, and then finally I got it in my grabby little hands and all my expectations were exceeded, I inhaled it, I devoured it, I went into this with eyes wide open and at the end of it my heart was filled to the brim. All the feels in the world, 'The Kiss Thief' was full of insane chemistry, love and angst. I adored this book! It reminded me exactly why I’m obsessed with this authors words. L.J. Shen writes the most compelling stories, and this one is my all time favourite from her.
