Edward Lear was an English artist, illustrator, author, and poet, renowned for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form that he popularized. ![]() ![]() And I think she should write more often a character like Cruz. □ But then again that speaks for Shens fantastic writing when you feel all the feels I guess.Īnyhoo, the missing communication, especially at one point in the book, as well as all the small town bitches being a pain in the ass were a tiny bit too much for me.Īt the end of the day, as I said it was refreshing change of her usual work, not my favorite book ever but definitely a recommendation if you’re just as much of a LJ Fangirl as Iam.

She is so different, but also very likeable even tho I was really annoyed with her non existent spine when it comes to her family. But that’s not the only difference.Ĭruz is very far away of being the typical Shen alpha hole but most definitely just as loveable as said alpha holes. ![]() ![]() īad Cruz is a very refreshing change from her usual bully / new adult romance books because it’s a rom com. ![]() ![]() With every release of LJ Shen I’m of course super duper excited because she has become one of my favorite authors and is an auto buy for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The colony, it transpires, was once settled by a sect devoted to the mad Russian monk Rasputin, but there is even more hiding in the past than Frank’s team is aware of.
