What LJ shen has mastered, though, is turning this cold hearted hero into someone readers care about. He is at times crude with his comments and humor but it fits with the man she has created. The man made me blush, and there are no limits to the things he says and does to satiate himself and Jude! I swear I combusted reading these scenes. The one thing Celian wins is the dirty mouth award.

I found that I enjoyed this side of Shen’s writing just as much as her angst driven books.Ĭelian is everything fans have come to expect from her heroes.
