I can’t believe I’m doing this. I have never given a bad review. It’s not my style to knock someone’s baby, and after writing a story, that’s what it is to the author.
This story is dark, cruel and left me sad. At no point should rape be glorified or excused. Not. Ever. Just because she yelled at him to just do it when she HAD NO CHOICE, is not consent.
Never should you be disrespected, kidnapped, held against your will or belittled.
I do understand the story the author was trying to tell. I also know life isn’t always sunshine, unicorns and baby animals.
The story premise was interesting. It is a story which would be a hard story to tell. But broken people aren’t always cruel, mean or vindictive. One thing I was never able to figure out, was how did she even develop feelings for him when he was absolutely horrible to her in every way? When the “feelings” were developing he was not showing her anything but cruelty and disgust.
I just couldn’t get into the story. It was too dark, too disturbing and left me with an overwhelming feeling of darkness and ick. I skipped more pages than I read, just skimming most of them to see if I was missing anything important. I wasn’t. Rape. Is. Wrong. Cruelty. Is. Wrong. Broken people do stupid things granted. But not on this scale.
Women, it is never ok to be forced to submit, to sex, to another’s cruel behavior, to another’s will. Never.

But the really disturbing part is where the readers have given this a 4.8 stars out of 5. What does that tell us about our view of ourselves and the society we live in?

The Kiss Thief LJ Shen 9781793307507 Books Reviews

Standard issue abuse, manipulation, and rape thinly disguised as romance. I spent the whole book genuinely uncomfortable, wondering how a female author could ethically publish this normalization of rape culture. All around yikes.
In my opinion, The Kiss Thief is truly unlike any other LJ Shen book to date - the tone and overall feel of the story - and I absolutely loved it!! Everything about the story from start to finish was incredible! Francesca was just a breath of fresh air, and I adored how strong and sassy she was. And Wolfe.......LJ truly writes an alpha a** unlike any other. This guy definitely tops them all. There is so much more I want to say and could say about this story, but I feel it would give too much away and sometimes you need to go into a story blind. Honestly, the only thing you really need to know about this story is that LJ Shen wrote it and that it's amazing.

Gear up for a crazy, intense, emotional ride and be prepared to fall in love with the Nemesis and her villain.
He was her thief of everything that mattered.

The wait and anticipation was worth it! I fell in love with this story over and over again! An incredible story...he was her fate.

A girl whose life was all planned out for her with none of her input. She's about to be set free even though at first it feels like a cage.

I absolutely adored these characters and their many facets. A few twists and turns that kept me guessing and wondering. But ultimately it was an unforgettably epic, yet unconventional, love story. You will be on an emotional roller coaster of anger, frustration, heartbreak. wonder, lust, hate, forgiveness, indecision, acceptance and LOVE. And the ride is just beautiful.

So much pain, yet there is beauty in pain. When you find the one who can help lessen your burden, and heal your heart, you never let go.

Read it! You need to because you will love them as much as I do.
“Falling in love was so tragic. No wonder it made people so sad”

A standing ovation for ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS THAT I'VE EVER READ, and L.J Shen's best story to date. It left me with the worst book hangover of the year! ITS INTRICATE PLOT IS A NEW BRAND OF PERFECTION SO MIND-BLOWING THAT IT WILL LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS.

Have you ever felt that words are not enough to describe what you feel? that's me now after reading this story, I'm an emotional mess and nervous wreck. The Kiss Thief, * sigh *, is EPIC BEYOND WORDS. Oh God, I loved every second when I read it. It's so different from everything I've read before, but so completely addictive. The first words had me hooked on the story and turning the pages as if my life depended on it. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!!

The plot and the characters consumed me, obsessed me, hypnotized me, with an emotional and harrowing romance bordering the dark and raw, full of love, banter, hatred, passion, opulence, power, anguish, that kept me on the edge of the seat, heart racing and a swarm of butterflies inside me stomach.

Get ready for the most ruthless alpha male ever, more than Troy and Vicious together. Wolfe Keaton is despicable, cruel, he has no mercy for anyone, he also is sooooo sexy, he melted my panties, gave me goosebumps and made me blush several times. But nevertheless, he captured my heart. He loves so hard, the sweet way he protects and cares for the heroine, wow, I'm dying of love for him, he's my new obsession. MY TOP BOOK BOYFRIEND EVER!!!

Francesca is a sweet, beautiful, brave and strong girl who melted my heart, her way of talking to the plants made me laugh out loud, she also faces situations with courage. She is everything I look for in a heroine. I LOVE HER!!

The explosive attraction and passion between the characters is unparalleled, and the slow burn, let me tell you, it reaches stratospheric levels, it could burn a whole room. I cannot get enough of them, I still cannot get them out of my head. THEIR ROMANCE IS SOOO TEAR-JERKING, SO PASSIONATE AND EMOTIONAL, everything what I am looking for in a romance, ahhhh, I keep sighing.

WITH AN EXQUISITE AND FLAWLESS PROSE, L.J. SHEN MANAGES TO CREATE A MASTERPIECE THAT REACHES YOUR SOUL. A masterfully written story that evokes so many different feelings in the reader. Mrs. Shen continues to prove why she is the best storyteller. She has an ability to wrap you with her words and catch your heart, smash it, tear it completely and break it into pieces. My soul still does not recover from the suffering. THIS LOVE STORY IS SO EPIC, SO HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL THAT I NOT WANT TO LEAVE THIS WORLD OR THE CHARACTERS.

It is definitely a must read. An exquisite romance that you will not want to miss. What are you waiting for? Go read it now!
