I'm not really a bully romance girl, as I've said in another review but I really wanted to give this book a chance. I really hated Vicious for a good portion of this book. I thought Emilia was right for telling him to fuck off and hating him. I like that she made him grovel and prove himself. This is a slow burn romance for sure. Once Vicious started peeling back his layers I did come to like him. I still am not sure that I love the ending, I am a sucker for an HEA but at times I was feeling like maybe this couple shouldn't end up together at the end of the book. I think I wanted to read this because of another book in this series. This wasn't a bad read. I like L. J. Shen's writing, but it's not one that's really going to stick with me and that I'll think about over and over.
