Cruel. Coldblooded. Hades in a Brioni suit.
Cillian Fitzpatrick has been dubbed every wicked thing on planet earth.
To the media, he is The Villain.
To me, he is the man who (reluctantly) saved my life.
Now I need him to do me another, small solid.
Bail me out of the mess my husband got me into.
What’s a hundred grand to one of the wealthiest men in America, anyway?
Only Cillian doesn’t hand out free favors.
The price for the money, it turns out, is my freedom.
Now I’m the eldest Fitzpatrick brother’s little toy.
To play, to mold, to break.
Too bad Cillian forgot one, tiny detail.
Persephone wasn’t only the goddess of spring; she was also the queen of death.
He thinks I’ll buckle under the weight of his mind games.
He is about to find out the most lethal poison is also the sweetest.

THE VILLAIN:
is the second full length romance book in the series 'Boston Belles', by L.J. Shen. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'
❝ As you know clouds are more reliable than shooting stars. When the time comes, ask for something you really want-when you see a lone cloud in the sky. You only get one miracle Persephone, so be careful what you wish for.❞
As soon as this landed on my kindle, it was game over!! Life on hold, I even went to bed at an ungodly early hour just to stay in the zone, inhaling everything this author threw at me. Then it quickly became official that I am bypassing heaven and going straight to hell. This book, this 'villain' this author, brought her A-game, he was a true A-hole, one I didn't want to love but before I knew it he had me heart and soul. GAH!! This was exactly what I asked the book gods to give me!! And it was delivered in spades!! L.J. Shen did it again!!
❝ I'd kept my cloud wish for eleven years, harbouring it like a precious heirloom.
I wasted the cloud wish in one reckless moment.
On a doomed desire, a stupid crush, an unrequited lover.
On the man every media outlet in America referred to as the Villain. On Cillian Fitzpatrick. ❞ .
My emotions were similar to a washing machine on full cycle, topsy turvy, and inside out.
Cillian Fitzpatrick the most eligible bachelor in America was a cold and calculating business man which stemmed over into his life. But as we delve deeper chapter by chapter we see another side of him and it's a side that left me utterly breathless.

Persephone has been pining over Cillian for as long as she can remember, never to be reciprocated. She'd been obsessed with him, going so far as to comparing every guy she'd dated to the unattainable tycoon.
Her husband had accumulated a huge gambling debt of 'one hundred thousand dollars' whilst running off leaving her to somehow come up with the money, her measly pre-school teachers wage won't even make a dent in the money he'd ticked up.
Now she needs Cillian Fitzpatrick's help more than anything. But how far is she willing to go for her freedom?
She gave me an age gap romance, she gave me the angst, she gave me an A-hole to fall in love with, she gave me all the feels. This author has upped the anty and there is no holding her back!! This ticked all my boxes!!
Highly recommend!! 👍👍👍👍👍
