It’s such a delight to be immersed in the LJ Shen world again. Meet another of her a-holic male characters who are so entertaining to read and love. And a heroine who is a hot mess but has the base for a strong sassy heroine. Well done!
Hallie Thorne is a hot mess but she’s beautiful, charming and caring. She’s the second daughter of former President Thorne and a complete opposite to her elder sister, who is the epitome of perfection and achievement. Hallie dropped out of community college, has no occupation except for social media influencer, and spends her time hanging out at clubs and drinking with her air-headed friends. After her last mess, when she had a nip-view accident, her parents had enough and decided to saddle her with a bodyguard, or more precisely, a close protection officer. And enter my new book boyfriend, Ransom Lockwood, a.k.a. The Robot.
These two were a wild pair, she’s impulsive and stubborn, he’s a jerk and also stubborn. His assignment is to bring order to her chaotic existence by whichever means necessary, so poor Hallie is in for a shock. But not for long, because our gal is nothing if not inventive. She leads the guy in a merry chase, when he doesn’t have her locked in her room. Eventually, he discovers she has hidden depths. As we discover those depths, we despair for this forgotten and misunderstood wild child.
I loved seeing Ransom’s crazy protective side, loved Hallie’s crazy antics, and loved that, unknown to everyone, she did know better than what she was doing, she was doing it out of spite to her parents. Secrets are revealed that explain a lot! And will break your heart, too!
I loved how Ransom went from a frozen robotic persona with no empathy into a guy who does have a conscience and sympathy. Truly, Hallie took this robot and deconstructed him and changed him to a human with frequent moments of jerk behavior. Same as Hallie, Ransom also had a story that defined his present behavior. I loved their story, loved their banter/squabbles, loved the strong emotions, loved the evolution of both, and loved where they finished. It was truly a delight to read Hallie and Ransom, my favorite couple…… for now!
