An Amazon Charts bestseller.

From USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a second-chance romance about love, loss, finding yourself, and getting lost in the right person.

Maddie Goldbloom stitched up a plan to ensure everything in her life was perfect―from a career in fashion to a chic NYC apartment to a pediatrician boyfriend.

When her ex, Chase Black, storms back into her life with an outrageous request, her immediate reaction is to refuse him. But he only wants to fulfill his father’s last wish. So even though he’s the man who broke her heart, playing his fiancée shouldn’t be hard, especially if it means she gets to watch the arrogant devil squirm a bit.

What ensues is a chain of events that detonates Maddie’s life―and when Chase’s walls come down, they both are forced to face reality.

They say keep your enemies close. But what if your enemy is also the man you love?

Title: Unputdownable
Review: This book is absolutely phenomenal. It was unputdownable & everything you expect and more from Ms Shen. It had LJ’s touch stamped on it yet it was so unique. I was enthralled with Chase and Maddie and couldn’t put the book down once I started reading. Chase inner monologues were pure gold. I was literally cracking up. They were sooo sooo good. After I finished the book I went back to read them all over again and they cracked me up and had me laughing all over again. Chase is unlike any hero Ms Shen has written. He has the bad boy vibes but with a heart of gold. Every girl wants Chase Black in her life. I loved the witty banter and back n forth between Chase and Maddie. I didn’t want the book to end. Loved both Maddie n Chase. These two were relatable characters .What I love about this story is it was a wholesome read . It was fun , sweet , with the most adorable characters and had perfect touch of emotions that tugs your heart. Without doubt Chase and Maddie won my heart. Maddie is the girl next door and everyone would want a Chase in their life. He was so perfect. Chase is a perfect specimen of Devil and Saint. He is alpha male with a bad boy vibes yet he is a boy next door with a soft heart. Ms Shen created the perfect book friend for us to swoon over . I am not ashamed to say I have been a huge fan of Vicious and no other hero could cross the bar he had set for me. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed and like all of her Heros but Vicious is special and no one could close to him. I had a love hate relationship with his character. If Vicious is dark than Chase is a bright spot. Where Vicious instilled angry emotions until of course he redeemed himself Chase just makes your heart melt and want to cuddle him. Most of LJ Shen books I have read the main protagonist are bad boy with alpha male vibes and there is angst in her stories which I have enjoyed but after reading TDWB I am hoping LJ writes more romance with witty banter and light moments. She has done an epic job with this story. It is one of my favorites from LJ Shen.The plot was heartwarming and captivating and characters were very realistic . I had preordered paperback, ebook and audiobook when it became available for preorder back in June of 2020 but I was over the moon I got selected to read an arc copy and couldn’t believe it for a while I got an arc for a moment I thought the book got published early since I have never received arc for her books and I wasn’t expecting I would get it this time around as well . I still can’t wait for my paperback n audiobook & reread / listen to the story. This is one of those books even when you reread you would still love the story and fall more for the characters. A beautiful heartwarming feel good second chance love story with all the feels and witty banter that melt your heart and leave you with a dreamy smile long after you end the story. Loved it and can’t recommend it enough. Deserves all the flowery stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Title: This was my first book by the author
Review: WHOA 🤯, this book was phenomenal ✨. I really liked it . The story line was astounding, I liked the characters and the surprise element was good. At first I disliked Chase but as the book progressed I couldn’t help but like him. Maddie was such a sweetheart , the fact that she agreed to help Chase after everything just shows how big her heart is. Their banter was just so cute , I enjoyed seeing their walls break down eventually and open up more.The fake engagement trope was nice to read about, I enjoyed this second chance romance . The texts and post-it notes were my favorite, it was so sweet and meaningful. That was like their own thing and it was quite delightful as it is different from other books. The book has a few funny moments but is also a slow burn. I enjoyed Chase’s development in the book considering how he was in the beginning it was interesting to see the change as the story progressed. I recommend reading this book.

Title: Better or Worse
Review: I read all the raving reviews about this book WELL I feel the underlying story line was good. BUT the real reason was love or lust? I give it a pass/ fail.

Title: love
Review: Man Chase I wanted to bash his head in he was definitely a child a lot. On the other side his character development was amazing to see! It made me fall in love with home. Mad is great I loved getting to know her and understand stand her. Also seeing her grow into her own was great. I love how this book made you feel so much with loss but also love and acceptance.

Title: I like the older books better than the new.
Review: I loved this book and Beautifully Graves, so much more than the new books. These feel a lot less sex focused and I found that very refreshing. I hope that you will consider writing more like this in the future. It was nice to see complex character development and I couldn’t stop turning pages.

Review: I absolutely loved this book. From the very first page I was hooked. Can I just say the Maddie should be my best friend. I loved her slink, sarcasm, and heart. She made you want all the good things life has to give, be given to her.And Chase. Wow. Not you typical book boyfriend, but in the end he redeems himself. You get to know him and find yourself rooting for him as well.Great story, great characters, what more could you ask for.
