Emilia
They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true.
The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares.
He is a brilliant lawyer.
A skilled criminal.
A beautiful liar.
A bully and a savior, a monster and a lover.
Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him.
Vicious
She is a starving artist.
Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom.
Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down.
She paid the price.
Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate.
That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t.
So she hates me. Big fucking deal.
She better get used to me.
I'm not really sure what the main character saw in Vicious. To be honest, I was hoping she would end up with anyone else during the course of the book. I didn't see anything redeemable about him. He did monstrous things throughout the book and didn't even seem to care about the consequences of his actions. All he cared about was himself. He didn't care that he was obviously hurting Emilia because he wanted her for himself. It was like Emilia had Stockholm syndrome without ever being kidnapped.
The book was well written and the flow of it was good but if this was supposed to be romance it just didn't do it for me. I couldn't understand how Emilia would let Vicious treat her the way that he did and apologize to him for making him upset. Who cares about him!?! I know that horrible things happened to him but that doesn't mean that he is allowed to treat everyone around him like garbage! He didn't even give a good explanation for why he treated Emilia the way that he did. When that revelation came, I couldn't help but ask myself if the author was kidding or not.
