Tropes: enemy to lovers, childhood crush, workplace romance, boss x assistant, billionaire romance, best friend’s ex 

Review: Vicious is an angsty, second chance bully romance that is utter perfection! LJ crafted an amazing enemy to lovers romance that defines the rest of this series and Emilia and Vicious are forever my favorite within this series!

Vicious is a broken man who has a dark past and I enjoyed how this book balanced his possessiveness with his alphaholeness. I love how LJ is able to create such an encompassing cast of characters that add to the plot of the book. The denial Vicious has about his attraction to Emilia and the refusal he tries to hold onto as he grows more attached to her was ironic since he was always her childhood tormentor. Vicious was the character I loved the most in this book and he also had a ton of growth as he opened up to Emilia about his past.

Emilia was a sweet heart of an FMC and I adored how she never quite got over Vicious. The push and pull she had also made me fall for her more since she is just so innocent. LJ was able to build her into a FMC that is both soft but resilient and I loved how she pushed her way into Vicious’ world and heart! I also LOVED the bond she had with Rosie and the way LJ depicted the hardship of Rosie’s illness.

This book is FULL of angst and in my opinion has to best build up and steam in this series. I appreciated how LJ built their tension up and then had it explosive once it boils over! This book included extra content that just added more to their story and I loved getting the extra chapters a the end! 

Rating: 100+, Vicious!! This is my favorite book in this series and the bonus content just adds to the perfection!

Thank you to The Author Agency & LJ for sending me this ARC!
