*****5 STARS***** 
 For the stuff I couldn't share on Goodreads, check it out here... https://prettymessreading.wordpress.c... 
 Finally! A female writer who was able to truly capture the male asshole mind! None of that cookie cutter shit you often see. None of that - guy gets girl and turns into a pussy shit. Just pure asshole male. Loved it! 
 Before we get into it.... 
 Can we talk about the fact that Vicious never did that typical rich man, poor girl shit? He didn't try to take her shopping for new clothes to match his fly. He didn't mind her cotton panties and cheap shoes. Did he talk shit about it? Yes. Did he try to fix her style to match his rich man clothes? Nope. I loved that. 
 But don't let that behavior make you think he was a sweet and loving man because he wasn't. 
 He was an asshole. 
 He was no, Captain-Save-A-Hoe. 
 Love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances. The passion is the same. The pain is the same. That weird thing that bubble in your chest? Same. - Emilia 
 It's true that Emilia and Vicious both hated each but it crystal clear that they loved each other as well. There's a thin line between love and hate and they were really, really close to that line. 
 Emilia on the other hand was the sweetest thing ever! I absolutely adored her. At first I thought she was going to be an annoying, but she wasn't at all. She was the cutest! 
 She knew what was important in love - love and family. She felt horrible for Vicious because he didn't have those things. There was no family love in Vicious life since his mom passed when he was a kid. 
 A bad life equaled an empty life. One that wasn't necessarily hard or challenging but was devoid of the people you loved and cared about. - Emilia 
 ...I didn't like his eyes anymore. Not because he scared me, but because he looked sad. - Emilia 
 Vicious once asked Emilia what the difference between lust and love... 
 Lust is when you want the person to make you feel good. Love is when you want to make the other person feel good. 
 That was the thing about Emilia, she was always thinking about how to make those she loved happy. 
 But did Vicious deserve her love?... Maybe yes. Maybe no. 
 "I used to think of you as a villain, but you're not my villain. You're your own villain. To me, you were a lesson. An important brutal lesson, nothing more and nothing less." - Emilia 
 For Emilia, that's when she had to take a step back and realize her self-worth. And damn if that wasn't one of the reason why I feel in love with the chick myself. No matter how much she may have wanted to be with Vicious, she wasn't so desperate to put up with any bullshit. 
 That's what I'm talking about!!!! Yasssssss! Know what you deserve!!!!! 
 Anyways, all's well that ends well and this one ends very well. 
 I got my HEA, I got my HEA, I got my HEA. Yassss, bitch, yassss!
