Millie was down to earth, an eclectic artist who didn’t conform to anyone’s standards, she was her own woman, but one man could shatter her resolve and that man was Vicious! No matter how many cruel barbs he threw at her, she took them and most times gave back as good as she got but he got under her skin in other ways! ‘He was a toxic, poison, and he was going to kill everything beautiful in my life if I let him.’
Why did she leave and what did Vicious have to do with it? And just what is his story?
The story opens in present day when Millie and Vicious are 27 and their paths cross again after Millie was forced to flee the Spencer estate when she turned 18. A masterpiece of nature.’Īt 17 and in her senior year, Emilia (Millie) LeBlanc moves into the Spencer family mansion with her sister Rose when her parents are hired as cleaners/caretakers for the sprawling Spencer property and Vicious never lets her forget she is the ‘ help’ and not welcome in his circle of rich, entitled friends. It happened in Sparrow and now it’s happened in Vicious! We fell head over heels for bully turned tyrant, Baron Spencer aka Vicious Spencer, who lived up to his nickname, because he was one heartless cock with a dirty, snarky mouth who hit all the right spots! What does that say about us? Although he may seem otherwise, we always know that underneath the ruthlessness lays a heart that’s open for love, beating beneath a callous prickly exterior! She takes us to the brink, really to the brink, wondering if there is any way her character can redeem himself whilst making us fall head over heels in love with a cold, arrogant and vindictive bastard.
Shen it’s that she is a master at writing an antihero. If there’s one thing we’ve learnt about L.J. I didn’t believe her until I met Baron Spencer and he became my nightmare. That weird thing that bubbles in your chest? Same. “My Grandmama once told me that love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances.
