Then, he goes on and on about his fairly tragic rich kid life story. It was a hard life but he was rich so he could still abuse his power and hurt others because of it. Which he did, repeatedly. L. J. Shen firmly planted herself on my list of favorite authors with this book. The woman can write a complicated hero like no other. Vicious Spencer is broken, tortured, and cruel, and somehow she was able to endear him to me. Maybe it was the way he behaved as if nothing mattered to him, but deep down everything did. Maybe it was that he never allowed himself to be truly vulnerable except when he was with Emilia. I don’t know. All I know is that she did it with absolute perfection. His redemption was flawless. He changed and groveled just enough for you to fully love him without changing who he was completely and unrealistically. And they say chivalry is dead,” “Chivalry might be dead, but you’re not, so shut up and be grateful.” Emilia was a heroine I liked from the beginning. I really sympathize with her and my heart broke every time Vicious made her life a living hell with his words and actions. She was kind, selfless, loyal, strong and the way she put her dreams on hold to care for her sister was simply heartwarming. And the way she endured Vicious’s treatment was simply admirable.

Why did Vicious shit his pants with the big "reveal" of finding out what his father's will said? Disinheritance No Contest clauses are generally very hard to enforce and such provisions are mainly used as to "scare off" lay people. But Vicious is hardly a lay person. He's a brilliant attorney (right? isn't that like, his thing?) so umm, shouldn’t he know this?? Leave?” She belched. “Oh, my, that’s a big word. I’d never do that, Persy. Dead, alive, and in-between, I will always be there for you.”Persephone Penrose, at twenty-three, had been in love with Cillian for years. The older brother of Ash and future brother-in-law of Sailor had never even looked her way in the five years of their acquaintance. The day of Sailor’s wedding finally broke his silence, but it didn’t end well. She wasted the wish her dear Auntie Tilda had given her before her death, foolishly thinking she might have had a chance at love with the cold-hearted brute. She declared he would love her, but he threw it in her face and sent her looking elsewhere.

You learn why he acts in that ruthless and indifferent manner, hating everyone and even his own life. As are relationships. Be wise. Let your heart lead the way. And when you find someone who’s worth it—never let them go. So, he decides to make Persephone an offer, take the money she needs, and get into an arranged marriage with him, so he can have the male child he needs to secure the company. A transactional marriage, nothing else. Just turn your face up, you silly goose. The sky will always be ours. That’s where we’ll meet, between the sunrays and the clouds.”I’m a big fan of this author and since I’ve read all of her books, let me tell you something – 'Vicious'is her best book to date. Leigh outdid herself with this story of hate, love and obsession. She managed to create such an intriguing, addictive read, blending the sweetness and sexiness perfectly. I was engrossed with this story from the very beginning and I couldn’t put it down for one minute. It was that good! Needless to say, 'Vicious' met all my expectations. This time, I was crank-up-the-Enola-Gay plastered. The kind of hammered to end up in the hospital with an IV drip, an oopsie baby, and a criminal record. From the start, I was intrigued by the relationship between Emilia and Vicious. There was a constant push and pull between the two of them, and a playfulness underlying their adversarial actions. Vicious, in particular, left me feeling confounded.
