Bane by L.J. Shen- Release Blitz

Bane, the highly-anticipated next standalone in the Sinners of Saint Series by L.J. Shen is LIVE

Bane

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 f****** teeth for it.

Review by Brittany

I did not finish this book. I am not leaving a star rating. But I am going to talk straight at L.J. Shen right now.

Let me preface this by saying I am NEVER mean in a review. Ever. I will talk about how I felt in a book, but I'll never bring that feeling into the actual writing of the review.

Ms. Shen,

I thoroughly, one hundred fucking percent, feel like this book needed a content warning. I read some sick shit. I love dark stuff, it makes my soul happy. But had you had put a content warning at the end of the synopsis letting people know that there's a slightly detailed scene involving CHILD RAPE, I would not be having these words with you right now.

You see, Ms. Shen, I was a victim of child molestation when I was ten. Two years younger than Jesse was when she was raped by someone she trusted. I have pretty much come to terms with it. I like to think I'm over it, but the fact that I had to read a scene involving a grown man forcing himself on a young girl, has set me back quite a bit.

I am fuming. I am feeling things I don't want to feel. I AM UPSET. I am RELIVING what I went through when I was a little girl. And if there was a content warning on this book, I would not be in the position that I am right now.

After that scene with the flashback of the actual rape, I decided to continue. But then you had this fucker write her a god damn letter saying that HE DOES NOT REGRET RAPING HER. And that just set me off. Here I am, writing this letter to you, with tears streaming down my face, because even though it's fiction, I can see it clear as day in my head and that makes it real. How can you not put a content warning on this shit? This is the first book of yours that I have ever read, and I was so excited to read it. And the shitty thing about this whole situation is that it was a GREAT book. But I cannot finish it because I cannot take the possibility of reading one more iota of what happened to this girl when she was a child.

So, Ms. Shen, to save others from feeling what I am feeling, put a content warning on this book.
