Review: The Hunter

“The queen of enemies-to-lovers strikes again. I devoured every page, hooked on the sizzling chemistry between Hunter and Sailor. A ten star read." --Parker S. Huntington, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

The Hunter, an all-new compelling and must-read contemporary romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen is available now!

Boston’s debauched elite is going up in flames, and it’s the Fitzpatrick family that set it on fire.

Hunter

I didn’t mean to star in a sex tape, okay?

It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds.

It just happened.

Now my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston’s nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan.

The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family’s oil company.

Little does she know, that’s not the only pipe I’ll be laying…

Sailor

I didn’t want this gig, okay?

But the deal was too sweet to walk away from.

I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny.

Besides, what’s six months in the grand scheme of things?

It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic gazillionaire who happens to be one of Boston’s most eligible bachelors.

No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrick’s charm.

Even at the cost of losing everything I have.

Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom.

Oh my goodness, I have no idea where to even begin with this book!!

The Hunter is an enemies to lovers roommate romance. 

Hunter ends up on a flight from Todos Santos back to his hometown of Boston, after he ends up in a sex-tape, unknowingly. His father wants him to not only remain sober, but celibate for the next six months- while not only working in his office, but also taking night classes. Could things possibly get any worse? On top of that, he needs his own babysitter- which is none-other than a feisty red-head Sailor Brennen.

Sailor didn't want to get stuck on babysitting duty. Not for some rich playboy, not for anyone. But getting public endorsement for her archery was just too sweet of a deal to pass up. So now, she is a nanny to none-other than Hunter Fitzpatrick. Not like there is any chance of falling for his charm and gorgeous good looks. 

Hunter is a charming, gorgeous, gazillionare playboy. He not only has the good looks, and the charisma, but also the money. He can have any girl he wants- whenever he wants. So it was a real blow, when he got in trouble at Todos Santos, to not only be cut off from alcohol, and girls- but also his money. And then to be stuck with a Nanny. A goody-two shoes one at that. A stickler for rules, who won't let him get away with any thing, and who is immune to his charms. What is Hunter to do?

Sailor is laser focused on her archery. Nothing else matters, definitely not boys. So when she was asked to babysit Hunter, she wanted to refuse. What could possibly be in it for her? Public endorsement for archery... How could she say no? Come to find out Hunter was more than the media and his father portrayed him to be. Sure he was a rich playboy, used to getting what he wanted - but he was also charismatic, and smart, and funny. And she found out she actually liked spending time with him. 

I loved this book. I loved Sailor and Hunter's banter, and back to forth. I loved seeing more to Hunter than just his playboy ways, and loved seeing Sailor open up. The chemistry between them was smoking, their interactions were funny, and the story sucked me in from the beginning, and I can't wait to see what is next from LJ. If you like strong heroines (LJ's are always some of my favorites!) and rich play boy jerks then you definitely need to pick up The Hunter today! 4.5 Carrot Top ⭐'s out of 5 ⭐.

Excerpt

“Why?” I asked, blinking at him in confusion. I had two left legs and the coordination of roadkill. I couldn’t dance if my life depended on it. I’d tried dancing at the only party I’d ever gone to—sophomore year—and was subjected to such thorough humiliation. People took videos of me dancing and forwarded it to half my school. Saggy Sailor, they’d graffiti-ed on my locker. Apparently, my back looked hunched and droopy when I danced.

“Because…” He tilted his chin down, his voice low, smoldering. “You’re obviously bored, and my family is watching us, and I’m partial to fondling you.”

“It’s the dress,” I muttered.

“I’d actually prefer fondling you out of it.”

I sliced my gaze sideways, noticing that Aisling and Persy hadn’t picked up on my exchange with him. They were now watching a video, probably of the reality show they were arguing about. Even though Hunter was just after a friendly dance to show his family we were getting along, I couldn’t unglue my butt from my chair.

“No fondling.” I crossed my arms over my chest, buying time.

“No promises. Get up.”

“Did you tell anyone we live together?” I accused, my eyes narrowing into slits.

He stared at me, wide-eyed, mouth parted. “Negatory.”

“Did you tell anyone we were dating?”

“This is the lamest twenty-questions game I’ve ever participated in. No.”

“Well, people are talking about us.”

“That’s what people do. They fill the air with useless words to entertain each other. It’s called gossip, and it sucks all the asses in the world. Doesn’t mean it was me. Our building employs more than a hundred people. All of them work for my father. That means he’s spreading whatever the hell he wants to spread.”
