Roman 'Bane' Protsenko
Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief and a fraud.
Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living.
Which is why I'm more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all--looking humbled.
Thing is, I'm on a boycott. Literally--I cut boys from my life. Permanently.
Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I'm falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.

Jesse Carter
Hot as hell, cold as ice.
I wasn't aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap.
She's a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time.
She is collateral, a means to an end, and a side-bonus for striking a deal with her oil tycoon stepdad.
More than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack.
Little does she know, I have the teeth for it.

Review: 

Bane has been one of LJ Shen’s most refreshing characters that I have read in a long time. Bane is a hot mess and he doesn’t make any excuses. But underneath that hard, cocky exterior there is a person who is hurting. There is also a completely different side to Bane as well and I loved seeing the layers removed.

Jesse. My heart broke so many times for Jesse while I read this story. She endured so much and had to deal with all types of judgments from others as well as shaming. It was horrible. Absolutely horrible. The people who were supposed to protect her the most let her down for their own sick and twisted reasons. It was hard to read at times.

I have to say this one of my favorite reads by LJ Shen. It was real, raw and refreshing. The story held my attention from the beginning to the very end. We had so many secret revelations that blew me away! My jaw was dropping, my heart was aching and I wasn’t sure how much I could take anymore. Bane will definitely be on my favorite read list of 2018.

About LJ Shen:

L.J. Shen is an International #1 best-selling author of Contemporary Romance and New Adult novels. She lives in Northern California with her husband, young son and chubby cat.

Before she’d settled down, L.J. (who thinks referring to herself in the third person is really silly, by the way) traveled the world, and collected friends from all across the globe. Friends who’d be happy to report that she is a rubbish companion, always forgets peoples’ birthdays and never sends Christmas cards.

She enjoys the simple things in life, like spending time with her family and friends, reading, HBO, Netflix and internet-stalking Stephen James. She reads between three to five books a week and firmly believes Crocs shoes and mullets should be outlawed.
