I didn’t want to stop the sizzles, the sparks and the flames as their sexual tension finally explodes.

I didn’t want to stop hearing about the damaged vs the sweet as their rollercoaster relationship clicked, climbed, picked up speed and eventually careened towards impending disaster. I didn’t want to stop the angsty barbed banter, the clipped humor and the dickish behaviour as the heated dialogue slowly broke down walls. I didn’t want to pause or stop listening to the tightly written push ‘n pull plot of two characters who need each other.

And, as she takes you on a whirlwind worldwide tour with an arrogant a$$hole of a bad-boy anti-hero and his entourage, your heart slowly melts for this sexy English Rock Legend as his feisty tiny blue-haired sobriety ‘babysitter’ brings out a very different side to him as their chemistry solders two hearts. but what you’re absolutely not prepared for is the tragic heartbreaking wrench she throws in from nowhere that sends characters reeling. She sucks you into a multi-layered plot that you know will end in tears. and their ‘end date’ relationship into forever love. their polar opposite lifestyles into a powerful partnership. and you listen with glee and awe as she slowly turns their sparks into flames. LJS introduces you to her damaged yet emotionally vulnerable hero and heroine who come with emotional baggage. However, this time I’m really really reeeeeally sure this is absolutely her best work to-date and I’m in awe of this seriously gifted author and the tornado of feels her words provoke. and once again I repeat my mantra of “blah blah. but then she goes and writes another awesome listen. Shen book I say “this has got to be her best yet”. ELEVEN TURBULENT HOURS OF PERFECTIONĮvery single time I finish a new L.J.

This is my first encounter with Tessa Ellory and she has that perfect new adult voice for Jolie, and she hyped up the angst in the right places making you feel each insecurity Jolie had.WOW. Joe is a wonderful narrator and he brought Sage's attitude and vulnerabilities to life with his voice. Cannot wait to see where she goes with this! I love that Shen brought this to audio with Joe Arden and Tessa Ellory. She even gives us a glimpse into the future with an unbelievable epilogue. This short is full of sexual chemistry, a little angst and characters that you can't help but fall for. When his friend decides he would like to date Jolie, all things change, and we get the taste of the hotholes that LJ Shen is famous for. As they grow up, Sage becomes the football star he is always meant to be and Jolie remains his rock through his life. This gem is a fully, well developed story and does not give you that rushed feeling. Just because this is a short one, it does not take away from the punch that LJ Shen is able to put into it.
