Story
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me...now my heart was completely iced. I took her first kiss. She took the only thing I loved. I was poor. She was rich. The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast. Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much. Yeah, baby girl, say it. I’m your foster brother. There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life. She’s about to shell out some serious tears.

Story
It should have been easy. I needed the money. He needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death. I was cherry-picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent. The worst part is that I should have known better. Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes. “Don’t get near the devil in a leather jacket. He’ll chew you up and spit you out.” Guess what? I didn’t listen. I signed the contract. World tour. Three months. Four Continents. 100 shows. My name is Indigo Bellamy, and I sold my soul to a tattooed god.

Célian Laurent. Manhattan royalty. Notorious playboy. Heir to a media empire...and my new boss. I could have impressed him, if not for last month's unforgettable one-night stand. I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory - namely, his wallet. Now he's staring me down like I'm the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I'm supposed to take it. But the thing about being Judith "Jude" Humphry is I have nothing to lose. Brooklyn girl. Infamously quirky. Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.

Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

When I slept with a faceless jock as a teen, I didn’t think I would become pregnant. I also didn’t think I would lose that child. Several years later, I find out that my daughter is alive, and I’m given a second chance. One problem, though. The faceless jock isn’t so faceless anymore. He has a name everyone fears: Kingsley Shaw. A ruthless bastard. A heartless devil. And most importantly, my daughter’s father. Oh, and he hates me as much as I hate him.

Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, 24-7. We're talking full-fledged working roommates.

They say your first kiss should be earned. Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky. They say the vows you take on your wedding day are sacred. Mine were broken before we left church. They say your heart only beats for one man. Mine split and bled for two rivals who fought for it until the bitter end. I was promised to Angelo Bandini, the heir to one of the most powerful families in the Chicago Outfit. Then taken by Senator Wolfe Keaton, who held my father’s sins over his head to force me into marriage.

Meet Blaire. An underachieving college student with zero prospects and a ton of issues (hey, being the less-successful twin of a gorgeous supermodel would totally do that to you). She doesn't do bad boys. Actually, she doesn't do boys, like, at all. Not that she's a lesbian. And not that there's anything wrong with being one. It's just that...well...she kind of needs to focus on graduating from college right now.

Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours. A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land. An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny. We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together. Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here. In New York. And he’s America’s music obsession.

The beloved quarterback-turned-physician. I’m the girl who got knocked up at 16 and now works at a diner. He is Fairhope royalty. I get my monarch dose from tabloid gossip. He’s well-off. I’m...well, off. When our siblings get engaged, Cruz’s parents invite both families to a pre-wedding cruise. Except Cruz and I find ourselves stuck on a different ship from everyone else.

INTENSE, HOT & FULL OF DELICIOUS THRILLS
- By CAROLYN 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 on 05-22-21
By: J.T. Geissinger
Publisher's Summary
Bane
Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief, and a fraud.
Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living.
Which is why I’m more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all - looking humbled.
Thing is, I’m on a boycott. Literally - cut boys from my life. Permanently.
Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.
Jesse Carter
Hot as hell, cold as ice.
I wasn’t aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap.
She’s a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time.
She is collateral, a means to an end, and a side bonus for striking a deal with her oil tycoon stepdad.
More than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack.
Little does she know, I have the f--king teeth for it.

A MONUMENTAL & SLOW-BURN TO REDEMPTION
L.J.Shen is an auto download author for me.. and, this lyrical poetical book not only highlights why, but it also cements her place as one of my favorite author too. The quick-witted, snappy dialogue, witty one liners, thought provoking raw scenes, passion-filled pleasures, heartfelt sentiments, rich multi-layered characters, seismic chemistry, simmering sexual chemistry, the anti-hero you can’t help but fall in love with and the addictive storyline are all here.. but so is a lot more. More.. that had me holding my breath, more that had me reeling in disbelief, more that had me high fiving a heroine who claimed her life back, more that had me swooning a hero who started off as anything but one.. but redeemed himself beautifully. And more because their touching journey to forever was filled with dark pitfalls they climbed out from, unforeseen hurdles they cleared, mountain they moved and demons they slayed.
Twenty-five year old Bane is a self-professed asshole, a pot-smoking surfer, an extortionist, a liar, a con artist, a thief, a manwhore and a paid escort for anyone’s hire.. his moral compass is way waaay off and he’s unapologetically proud of it too. He is also a beautiful, sexy-as-sin, tattooed and pierced bad-boy alpha, a brash and blunt player, a business owner and an entrepreneur.. which is what leads him into Jesse’s life.. because, for the backing of $6 million dollars from her stepdad for Bane’s dream project, he is secretly contracted to bring a broken girl they call ‘the ghost’ back to life. However, that comes with one caveat.. do not, under any circumstances, have sex with her.. well that’s no problem she’s so not his type. He’s a carefree player, a warm-hearted womanizer, he doesn’t need or want complications and can get any woman he wants - so he takes the deal.. the deal that’s going to blow his well-ordered life apart, shatter his world and piece it all back together again.. and Bane has a broken, damaged, haunted, untouchable twenty year old to thank for that. Because it will eventually unlock her bitter dark memories, empower her inner strength, ignite her buried courage, enable her to face her past and she’ll become an avenging angel.. and slay all their demons. And Jesse’s heartbreaking tale?.. well that’s her emotional story to tell.
Worth a credit? Pheweee, where do I start with saying how much this is definitely worth a credit. Is it the writing skills of this well-loved author who has penned an unforgettable love story weighted down with so many emotional feels? Or is it the drama, angst, passion and pleasure that balanced and blended and brewed and baked over howevermany delicious hours? Perhaps it’s the awesome character growth that bends and binds and alters and remoulds them both? Or maybe it’s the dual POV narration which make these characters and their stories so captivating to listen to as I smiled and sighed and frowned and cursed and prayed along with them? Well, whatever the answer is, I’m grateful.. and long may this trio continue to mix and weave their magic. The last story in the Sinners of Saints series.. and each one can be a standalone.

Bane!!!!
Bane!!!!! I am still experiencing a major book hangover with this one. I was hooked from page one until the VERY LAST PAGE! I wanted to move in and live in this story, in this town, with these beautifully flawed characters. This made me feel ALL THE THINGS and I loved it!! Gahhhhhhh! Pure freakin' magic! The narration was spot! I can't think of a better narrator to bring Bane to life and Savannah was the perfect Jessie!

Best 🙌👏
Ok - I have to say that I was hesitant to listen to Banes story because he wasn’t a Hot Hole and the synopsis didn’t really thrill me BUT I am so glad I did. I loved his witty comments “Moses on a Cracker” and his nonchalant attitude. I loved that Jesse gave him a run for his money and pushed him. I loved Jesse’s strength and come back after all she went through. I am holding my breath for another from Shen. She is becoming one of my favorite authors.

“Waaayyyy Late to the Party” Review
I LOVE LJ SHEN! Her books are magic!! I’ve read all her books multiple times and haven’t given one less than a 4 star rating. This book is no different. It has depth and meaning. As usual, beauty is found in the broken. The main characters breath life into one another and make each other whole. It’s perplex and lovely. However, a couple things did bother me with this one...first, Bane is literally a male gigolo when they meet and when they finally have sex...no protection. AND the only convo about this sexual encounter centers on the fact the h is on birth control. I’m sorry but he’s been screwing anything with a vagina and two legs for years yet nothing is said about cleanliness/testing (gross!). Also, Bane’s mom...I mean, I really don’t want my mom screwing friends my age...Ummm...not feeling it. Otherwise, excellent read! Still worthy of 5 stars with AMAZING narration. Worth your money/credit/time!!!

Doesn't go well with the series
I found it hard to get into this - there was so much dialogue and I couldn’t find an anchor into the story. I also didn’t like the characters - I found Bane vulgar and seedy, and Jesse inconsistent, and weak.... the author kept trying to tell me otherwise, but I didn’t need to be told, I needed to be shown through their actions. There was a lot of tell vs show in this. And I felt like the pacing was all off too - it wasn’t slow enough to believe. Like, Jesse is house bound, but one encounter with Bane and she’s not anymore? It was too quick. Considering what she is went through I would have liked a deeper look the psychological side and have Bane actually work to pull her out of her shell. It couldn’t have been something really deep and beautiful, but this was surface level. I mean, she knew him a few days and was grinding against him? It was too quick.

Sad the Series Has Ended.
I have been reading this series for the past two weeks and I can honestly say that I’m sad that there are no more stories to tell us. I really wish that Vaugn would’ve had his own story. I actually read the stories backwards. I picked up Luna‘s story first and then read Daria’s.
I didn’t think I would like Bane’s story because he wasn’t one of the original hotheads. I also am not into a lot of tattoos, but I do like Russians. It was nice to have Vicious in the story because Bane was a lot like him. I like the fact that they both had to save each other, even though Bane was hired to help Jesse.
It was a really sweet story. I love it when the bad guys lose.

Couldn’t even past the first quarter
I usual love this author but the minute Bane talked about screwing guys for money, I was out. I’m not into guy on guy action, if that’s your thing than great. It’s a deal breaker for me.

Definitely Recommend but Trigger Warning
I just love this author! I'm not going to lie out of all of the series this was my least favorite, but by no means did I a dislike it. It was great!! I hope to hear more about Bane & Jesse like we do with the others in the series in the All Saints High Series. I love that Jesse is a strong self-sufficient woman, who saved herself in the end. Also that I brought sexual assault & the trauma it can cause to light in it. I would absolutely recommend, but with a trigger warning.

wow, what a story!
This is not for the faint hearted, filled with nasty people, child abuse and rape. In fact the subject matter is really sordid. Having said this, it is well written and I am so pleased that Bane and Jessie saved each other.

Christian Rummel brings his A game
I'm a big fan of Savannah Peachwood she's a fantastic narrator and this series is perfection for her as usual. in the last couple of books I found Christian Rummel 's female MC voice hard to distinguish and lost track of who was speaking sometimes...not this time, he did an amazing job of the character with a lisp and his female MC voice was obvious and on point. well done Mr Rummel your A game was perfection, I thoroughly enjoyed both performances. this series has had me gripped from the start and I devoured each book one after the other.
*some people may find the content of this book difficult.

Amazing emotional story. A fantastic listen
Jesse was brutally broken by people who she trusted Her mum was the worst of all as shei is so self centred and she never supported her daughter even when she needed her the most. Jesse needed a special kind of person to give her the courage reclaim her independence and herself to live and feel again. Bane is fascinating, mysterious character, He is a con artist and a sexy infamous ladies man. He can be scarly intimidating but he is definitely the perfect choice for Jesse.
I loved how strong she became after she got her groove back. "I would spread and conquer and be remembered" (Jesse's words)
not without the help of the highly complicated imperfect hero. They had amazing chemistry and they saved each really, as Bane had his own demons that he needed to be freed from. In the end, justice was served to wrongdoers and the wrong decided to be Victors instead of victims.

Takes you in a compelling emotional ride!
All the human emotions put together in a seductive ride. LJ Shen draws you in and doesn't let go. Yhe chemistry between the characters is amazing! Plus, Savannah Peachwood is the best voice actor out there.

Highly recommend - dark, gritty, intriguing
Dark, gritty, intriguing. The characters are very likeable; I enjoyed the plot and wanted to listen to more. I liked that characters are featured from other books.

OMG
i think this is my favourite in the Sinner of saint series. Thank you L J Shen. Now the book does have dark matter that maybe disturbing for some readers in parts and a little for me too-I would have to say regardless, I absolutely loved it. Both Jesse and Bane are great characters. Bane had me laughing out loud more often than not with his mind banter. :) The narrators do a truly wonderful job!! Especially Christian Rummel, such a sexy male voice.

Bane and Jesse
Bane :- Man-whore, escort, surfer, conman, drug dealer - making deals and trying to match it with the money men.
Jesse :- Gang rape victim, knife scarred, recluse.
Her stepdad wants Bane to bring Jesse out of hiding and back into the world. There are rules, but Darren will put money into Banes development if he succeeds.

WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT BANE!!!
Bane is probably the best L J Shen book to date. Vicious being a close second. But there is something about Bane. He’s damaged, yet willing to live. He’s a smart ass, but as clever as hell. He’s dirty and sexy. He is the absolute paradoxical anti-hero.
But one of the best qualities I enjoyed about the book was Bane’s dialogue. His clairvoyant attitude sets him apart.
The male narration by Christian Rummel was spot on for Bane’s character. He speaks at a faster pace than other narrators which is consistent with the speed at which Bane’s thought process works. He’s constantly thinking and debating and reflecting and at times philosophising.
The female character was very well developed but I found her narration annoying at times. I think Christian Rummel did a better job.
What’s not to love! Well done Shen! My only regret is it appears there won’t be a Bane part 2.
