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 waltzed into my life, demanding a second chance.
Dean Cole wants to be my bronze horseman. My white knight has finally arrived. Hopefully, he isn’t too late.
Dean
They say the brightest stars burn out the fastest. They’re right.
She sets my mind on fire.
All smart mouth, snarky attitude and a huge heart.
In a world where everything is dull, she shines like fucking Sirius.
Eleven years ago, fate tore us apart.
This time, I fucking dare it to try.
Getting to her is a battlefield, but man, that’s why they call me Ruckus.
Rosie LeBlanc is about to find out how hard I can fight.
And conquering her will be the sweetest victory.



When you are expecting the release of a new book from your favourite author, time goes like a snail. It can be defined as a “sweet torture”. That’s exactly what I felt while waiting for the release of Ruckus, the second book of the Sinners of Saint Series. Those who are already obsessed with the 4 Hot Holes will understand and will share my feeling.

This book is about the third Hot Hole. Dean Cole, the chaos and anarchy himself, a cocky privileged who tough he deserve all and owned nothing. From outside he can be hard as a rock but inside him, he is a lost boy who longs to be loved. I personally can describe him as a double-faced man because he shows a sweet façade to hide his wounded soul. He seems strong but he is not. His hard exterior has helped him to live hidden in his vices. He is a perfect bad boy, isn’t he?

Dean will experience his own Bible tale. Being attracted to the Le Blanc sisters. One is his past and the other is his future. Rosie will be the only one who is capable to put him in his place without a second thought.

 “Rosie LeBlanc was the only woman in my life who wouldn’t give me the time of the day, and certainly didn’t know that ironically, Rosie LeBlanc was the only woman whose time I wanted”.
  
Rosie is a sick woman who, despite of her disease, seeks and longs her independence. Baby LeBlanc is much more. She is a fighter but a stubborn. Satirically, she sent Dean to her sister’s arms because of her health issues. She sacrificed herself.  

 “Since I had friends and a social life and she had nothing –precisely because of that decision. So, I let her have them both. Dean’s body and Vicious’s heart”.

It’s delightful to watch the push and pull between Rosie and Dean. They are mean to be together. The tension between both characters creates sparks like fireworks despite of Dean’s darkness. He has demons that will tempt Rosie. The chemistry between them is dangerous.

“I don’t want to make you forget. I want to make you remember. And I’m about to, Rosie.” He breathed hard against my skin. “I’m about to rewrite the pages of our fucking history, baby.”

“We both collided and exploded like two lonely stars somewhere in the dark atmosphere.”
  
This book is the one you shall not miss. It’s told from both-sides. The changes from past to present are smooth and let us see more in order to understand the context and characters. The plot is awesome. You will find more things about the other Hot Holes’s life.

L.J. Shen out did herself. She has ruined me with her men characters. First, it was Vicious Baron Spencer; second, it was Jamie Defy and now it is all about Dean Ruckus Cole. How does she do it? I really don’t know but she is a really talented author. Ladies prepare your heart for an emotional read. This book has far exceeded my expectations. I cried and laughed. I felt myself immersed in the story. I couldn’t put it down until I finished it.
