From #1 Amazon Bestseller L.J. Shen comes a new, star-crossed lovers romance about loss, love, and meeting The One when you are too young to know how to keep them.

Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours.

A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land.
An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny.
We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together.
Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here.
In New York.
And he’s America’s music obsession.
The intangible Irish poet who brings record executives to their knees.
The blizzard in my perfect, unshaken snow globe.
Last time we spoke, he was a beggar with no intention of becoming a king.
But a king he became, and now I’m his servant.
I’m not the same broken princess Malachy Doherty put back together with his callused hands.
I have a career I love.
A boyfriend I adore.
An apartment, a roommate, a life.
I changed. He changed, too.
But Mal kept the napkin.
Question is, will I keep my word?

Rating:

A chance encounter, a contract written on a napkin, more than an ocean between them.

Love at first sight?

For Rory and Mal?

For me and this book?

I’ve read and loved all of LJ Shen’s books and I have to say that this one is definitely a favorite.  This book is a change from her usual writing style and I love it!  It’s quirky, and funny, and angsty.

Rory and Mal are two star crossed lovers that you can’t help but root for to be together.

Their passion for each other is undeniable.  

Mal is a gorgeous, Irish poet with violet colored eyes and a beautiful soul.  He loves deeply and fiercely.

Rory is a beautiful, determined, silver-haired Jersey girl with a heart of gold.

Secrets and a series of mistakes and misunderstandings threaten to keep them apart forever.

Kismet?

This book is a wild ride of feelings and emotions.  I want a hundred more books like this.

The extra point of views in the story bring are surprising and fun.

Check this book out today. I promise you won’t regret it.
