HUNTER_FINAL 4.35.30 PM
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.

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.”
I was SO excited to get another LJ Shen book on my kindle.  I started The Hunter, eager for all the feels.  The feels were there, kinda.  The story was okay.  Definitely worth the read, but for me it wasn't as amazing as the others I've read from her recently.  Hunter was a bit much. His playboy persona and his manners were, in my opinion, a bit overplayed. Bad Boy with daddy issues meets the one girl that can change him at the age of like 19. Sailor, meek and mild, had only one thing on her mind, making the Olympic team and she didn't want to be burdened with living outside of that dream. I get that, but I couldn't really connect with her.  And that, I don't understand because she isn't "richy rich" but not poor either, she's not gorgeous, she doesn't have a that dope body, she's kind of a hermit..All attributes I can get behind. My favorite part, and what I wish the author would have spent more time on was the suspense with Royal Pipeline and the go to man there. Once of the ways Hunt would "redeem" himself and it was kinda on the back burner...even if it were to blow up in his face, I thought that was kind of an important part..
 I'm leaving it with too much time at home and me being tired of reading.. that's gotta be my reason for being less than thrilled at the end of The Hunter.
I'm going 4 stars here, but I'm gonna hold off on posting any reviews on other sites until I can read it again.
