About this item

NOW A NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

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.

Vicious a complete standalone and a part of the Sinners of Saint series

I absolutely enjoyed this book! It sat on my kindle for far too long before i actually read it. But im a mood reader.

This was an absolutely fantastic story!!! I loved every second of it.

I loved how his friends (Trent and Jaime) tried to tell him when they were in high school but he was too messed up to realize what they were saying.

This book has the perfect ending for them! Right people wrong time when they first met. I love this because it’s a bully romance (which i don’t usually like), enemies to lovers, and my favorite its a second chance romance.

It hits 3 different tropes in one haha.

4.0 out of 5 stars LOTS OF PAST NAUGHTY MISUNDERSTANDING

I think this is my first Mizz L.J. read & I like it a lot. The backstory of Vicious & Emilia's high school last was the main theme running throughout this tale. I fell in love with the other Sinners of Saint aka Four HotHoles crew & I believe each will make a fantastic alpha HotHole on his knees to make themselves worthy of their other half. I was dazzled with the storyline, quick dialogue, uniquely original characters & workable flashbacks, but I really craved more naughty sensuality for these two passionate, deeply scarred crazy kids, so Mizz L.J. receives my score of 4 fingers up & 8 toes.

You hate to love Vicious; the original story of the Sinners of Saint Series. At first, you thought Emilia would let Vicious walk all over her but she gave it back as good as she took. I loved how you were able to see both into main characters head. Vicious was the typical broody guy but he also had so much more depth to him and LJ did a great job in showing all layers of him. Emilia, she was just such a strong female character and she might be one of my favorite characters from all of LJ's series. I liked that we were able to see both characters when they were younger and when they were adults; you were able to see how the characters changed/grew in the years they were apart.

Vicious was just too mean for me. He never needed to be like that. I'm amazed how Ellie could forgive all of the abuse and still fall for him. I believed the love both ways I just can't relate. Lol.

Only L.J. Shen can write a character who doesn't just talk like a huge red flag and is more as#$le in the next sentence and also keep leaving me wishing the next chapter was from his point of view????
.
I don't love bully romances, I don't like love triangles even for two chapters but then I read this book and it's time to take a break because this book is worth it
.
“I used to think of you as a villain, but you’re not my villain. You’re your own villain. To me, you were a lesson. An important brutal lesson, nothing more and nothing less"
.
Emilia didn't do anything wrong, she was just a piece that two rich and entilted teenagers wanted and as a result of their disputes, she ended up being the most harmed
.
"I loved her when I hated her. And I loved her when I didn’t want anything to do with her.
.
I really enjoyed reading it, like a good book obssesed person who love grey and more dark characters finding their happy ending
.
But I cannot let the fact of the love triangle pass as if it were nothing. Not between her, her ex and Vicious, that was fine for me.
.
.
The situation with her sister Rosie at that party and the months after when she was behind him...it was a lot for me and I had a hard time sympathizing with her character when I finished it and saw that the second book is her story with her sister ex. it's a no for me.....Yep, I'm going to skip that book for now, I don't like the person Dean became or that her sister is after or in love with another love interest or ex-relationship of her sister again, I just can't????????‍♀️

5.0 out of 5 stars Vicious has venom in his kisses!
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024
This is the book of books. Leigh really set the groundwork for The Four HotHoles with Vicious.

This book was released in 2016 (if I remember correctly). I stumbled across it while pregnant with my miracle baby in 2017. I read it, and if I weren't already pregnant, then Vicious would have gotten the job done! I love Vicious. He is alpha everything. If he could have peed on Emilia, he would have. The way the book is written, you are pushed and pulled into the past and current time. Typically, this is frustrating, but Leigh drags you in, and you love every second.

Without giving too much detail, Emilia's family is the help in Vicious's father's mansion. Emilia is also Vicious's classmate and is relentlessly bullied by him. Emilia runs away, and fast forward ten years later, Vicious and Emilia meet again; let the angst begin!

This book was on fire! It had everything I needed (and kept me pregnant!)
