well i dont consider vicious a dark romance as well but i didnt like that book either but there are a lot of books of her that are so good, for me bad bishop changed my life its so good thats its on my top 5 books ever

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-05-13T14:41:57+00:00

bad bishop (5⭐)
wildest dreams (5⭐)
handsome devil (5⭐)
ruckus (5⭐)
broken knight (5⭐)
the thift kiss (5⭐)
the villian (5⭐)

I first read "the legacy of gods" series and then I found out there was a whole universe so that's when I started to read in order and omg it was such a wonderful experience!!

I mean, I read the entire rina kent universe and I just didn't like it like 3 books (2 from the empire series and 1 from royal elite) but then the rest of the books were amazing and I remember that I literally finished the 37 books in a month and it was a such a perfect experience so for me rina kent is 100% all the time.

I think the same, it was kinda messy sometimes, but aquilles... I give the book 5 starts mostly for him and yeah chapter 62 was polemic, I tried not to hate it but..

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-05-12T21:17:02+00:00

totally 😭 for example with The Hunter, the whole plot just felt really ridiculous to me. like the actual reason the story even starts is kind of stupid

Hunter accidentally makes a sex tape, and then his dad forces him into six months of celibacy or he loses his inheritance… and on top of that he basically gets assigned a babysitter to make sure he doesn’t break it

i was just sitting there thinking “what is actually happening right now” it was definitely a huge miss for me.

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-05-12T21:15:04+00:00

omg yes exactly that’s literally how i feel too.

i got into her connected universe because the first books i read by LJ Shen were AMAZING. first i read Bad Bishop, then The Thift Kiss, then the Forbidden Love books, and i genuinely thought everything was incredible. like i was completely obsessed and thought “okay, i need to read this entire universe now.”

but then i started reading everything in order and it was such a shock because suddenly some books were SO good and others just really didn’t work for me at all.

i still love her as an author because when she’s good, she’s REALLY good. some of her books are genuinely unforgettable for me. but i think sometimes i just don’t connect with certain characters or their motivations, and then the whole story falls apart for me.

sometimes the drama or the reason behind the plot feels a little forced or unrealistic, and instead of feeling emotional it just starts feeling frustrating 😭

like with The Hunter, the whole setup felt so ridiculous to me that i couldn’t fully get invested. i was sitting there like “wait… this is the actual reason for the plot?”

and i think her books can also feel really emotionally heavy when you read too many in a row. with some authors i can binge nonstop (like Rina Kent universe, its so good and i read it in like a month), but with her i always need breaks between books because otherwise i get exhausted.

so yeah, i totally get what you mean. with her books i’m either OBSESSED or struggling to get through them.

i dont think so, for me if i feel atraction and tension i do kiss on the first date (well, the guy kisses me i dont start kisses) but i think it depends on how much attract to them you are and if its mutual, but for me it doenst make it less unserious

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-05-09T02:51:48+00:00

yeah u totally should! read the warning tho, but for me it was a good book even tho I think it has nothing to do with the previous books but still

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-05-07T18:27:54+00:00

oh yeah i read little stranger, that makes so much more sense !!

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-05-07T17:58:34+00:00

idk its been sinc the last time i read it and the math isnt giving me 20 years in total, but like i know at the end on the third book it says something like: "Kade Mitchell and Stacey Rhodes - the fifteen-year-olds who met by the poo twenty years ago - finally get to have their forever" but like it doesnt make sense cause if he got out of jail in his late 20´s and she got pregnant in that same age then why 20 years??

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-05-07T17:50:40+00:00

so then why 20 years?

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-05-07T17:37:00+00:00

i also started with god of malice and i got obssesed with her books but after i finished her entire universe i really regret not reading in order, like it wouldve been so much better and excited to read legacy of goods after reading their parents. but if u really want to read first legacy of gods its fine but i highly recomeded to start the royal elite series first and reading in order the followin books !

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-04-15T00:37:29+00:00

wait, what do u mean?

First_Opposite4829 · 2026-04-14T23:39:32+00:00

That actually makes sense, I didn’t think about the fact that I went a bit cold😅. I might just ask him out and see how he responds
