AUTHOR - L.J. Shen
Releases - June 1st
BLURB:
Rosie
They say that life is a beautiful lie and death a painful truth. They're right.
No one has ever made me feel more alive than the guy who serves as a constant reminder that my clock is ticking.
He is my forbidden, shiny apple. The striking fallacy to my blunt, raw, truth.
He is also my sister's ex-boyfriend.
One thing you should know before you judge me;
I saw him first. I craved him first. I loved him first.
Eleven years later, he waltzes into my life, demanding a second chance.
Dean Cole wants to be my bronze horseman.
But my clock is ticking. See, I’m not like the rest. I have an illness.
Sometimes I conquer it.
Sometimes it conquers me.
My white knight has finally arrived.
Hopefully, he isn’t too late.
REVIEW:
“The Hot Hole with a second chance, 5 stars”
Holy Mother of Mary…This story is the definition of ruckus.
I have read the first two stories in the series so I had some pretty high
expectations going into Ruckus. Yeah, take what you think is going to happen
and throw it out the window. I went through all the emotions; my heart was in
my stomach one second and the next I quite possibly had cartoon hearts coming
out of my eyes. It was real, it was honest, and gritty. Dean and Rosie had an uphill
battle that I wasn’t sure they could make it up. There was no putting it down
for me, until it was over. And now I want the next in the series.
Dean Cole… if you were to look up the definition of book boyfriend
I’m 99% sure his name would be there. He was the typical ladies’ man to start
with, but there’s a reason why. And when he decides to finally claim what’s his…its
explosive. Before Ruckus I thought of him as the pretty boy loose cannon, he had
looks, money, liked his weed, and possibly had a drinking problem, but here we
find out why he is the way he is.
Rose LeBlanc has never had it easy. If she’s been one thing it’s
been babied, which she hates. Causing her to move across country to get away from
her parents who never really accepted her. They just see someone who’s sick and
think of her as an invalid. When Rose can do it all, as long as she’s not sick.
For those of you who haven’t read Vicious (Rose’s sisters book) Rose has cystic
fibrosis, a silent but deadly disease. Rosie wrote off her happy ending a long
time ago, when her sister dated the guy she knew held her future. But what
happens if your sister is more than okay with it and he wants you back?
Rosie is strong, Dean is close to perfect, together they are
unstoppable. When together everything is perfect. But one can’t live in a
bubble forever, truths will come out, sickness will take hold, can Dean and
Rosie weather the storm together or will they go down like a sinking ship?
I without a doubt loved Ruckus. I will warn you before you
dive in that when you finally come up for air, you’ll have a book hangover. I
honestly can’t tell you the last time I marked a book up because I loved so
many parts.
Here are just a couple pieces from the story that I loved;
“As you did my sister.” Baby LeBlanc gave a curt nod. “Are
you planning on screwing your way through our family tree? Should I print out a
copy of our ancestry.com profile?”
“He was my sun, the moon, and everything worth seeing in the
constellation.”
“I was going to put a ring on her finger, and it was
probably going to weigh as much as she did, if not more.”
