Book Review for BAD BISHOP

#booksummary

📚 Title and Author: Bad Bishop by L.J Shen

🌟 Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

💬 Short Summary: A ruthless antihero with a god complex. A woman who refuses to kneel. And a game of power neither plans to lose.

Bishop is everything a man shouldn’t be—cold, calculating, morally bankrupt, and dangerously irresistible. He doesn’t believe in redemption, only control. Until a woman who sees straight through his sins walks into his world and dares to challenge him.

What follows is a brutal, addictive clash of wills packed with sharp banter, explosive chemistry, and L.J. Shen’s signature brand of unapologetic angst. Bad Bishop is dark, sexy, and deliciously toxic—where love isn’t soft, forgiveness isn’t free, and falling is the most dangerous sin of all.

🔥 Villain romance

🔥 Power plays & mind games

🔥 Not for the faint of heart

Perfect for readers who like their love stories messy, intense, and morally gray.

So here are my honest thoughts on the book so far: 📚The biggest win for the author is that she easly transitions well between timelines. Throughout the book she jumps timelines often giving us background information on each character she does this seamlessly! I’m also a squirrel and get confused
