Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) 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.


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) Hey Monika! We can start this today :)

Why you think Millie is a dumb ass?


María | 2037 comments Beatrice wrote: "Chapter 1-4 [spoilers removed]"

I dont think she loves him. She is attracted to him and that is something you can not control. It is a reaction...


María | 2037 comments Beatrice wrote: "Chapter 4 - 8 [spoilers removed]"
I'm in chapter 8
I do feel the angst in her but he is so cold that is almost funny (I mean that this book seems a parody of the typical asshole CEO).
When I was reading the first chapters I thought that this was beautifully written, now it is sound like a cliche... What do you think?

It really sounds cliché. The writing was engaging. I'm surprised to make it this far unless I'll DNF it. The drama was over the top.

I can not believe that a friendship survive a betrayal like sleeping with an ex...


María | 2037 comments I finished the book.
I wait for you girls so I share my final thoughts

Partly justifiable but it's too much I guess. He needs a professional help for anger management.


Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) Finished (view spoiler)

SO TRUE! That move would have ruined anyone's friendship.


María | 2037 comments Beatrice wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

Yes, I agree. Was enjoyable although


Monika | 849 comments Finished - Same Opinion as you Bea (view spoiler)

She is coz who the hell on earth falls in love with or even have a crush on the Badass Bully to oneself? He is so pathetic - why would she like him at all? - Definitely a Dumb ass XD

Purely my opinion dear - you can think otherwise - no offence at all :)

I think why i liked it till the end basically coz of the humour - there were funny scenes that I enjoyed the most. Rest was not that much engaging i would say.

I also found this to be very much unusual that after everything their friendship still survives - How? Either friendship is not real or may be boys are like that or This whole concept was bullshit. ;P

Agree - he needs psychiatrist to help him. He is way too cold and big time asshole - I am still not able to gulp it down that Em fell for him. How is it possible to get attracted to someone so horrible.

Monika | 849 comments It was fun read but I dunno then what is in the next books? Are they different stories? I thought through out this book that this story continues but i guess it does not.

So what's your plan for this series Bea? Reading further or wanna halt for now?
