"Dirty Headlines is a fantastic enemies to lovers office romance with a perfect filthy asshole hero that I wish I'd written myself." - Laurelin Paige, New York Times bestselling author
Dirty Headlines, an all-new sexy, enemies-to-lovers romance from bestselling author L.J. Shen is LIVE!
Célian Laurent.
Manhattan royalty.
Notorious playboy.
Heir to a media empire.
…And my new boss.
I could have impressed him, if not for last month’s unforgettable one-night stand.
I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory—namely, his wallet.
Now he’s staring me down like I’m the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I’m supposed to take it.
But the thing about being Judith “Jude” Humphry is I have nothing to lose.
Brooklyn girl.
Infamously quirky.
Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.
When he looks at me from across the room, I see the glint in his eyes, and that makes us rivals.
He knows it.
So do I.
Every day in the newsroom is a battle.
Every night in his bed, war.
But it’s my heart at stake, and I fear I’ll be raising the white flag.

Well Hello Célian Laurent!
I will forewarn you now…Sham-WoW panties are needed while reading this book. Célian is a man who knows how to treat a lady in the bedroom, that’s for sure!
Judith “Jude” Humphry is my kind of heroine. She is able to dish it out, sometimes even better than Célian. Stands up for what she feels is right and doesn’t back down from confrontation.
So when Judith and Célian meet at a bar one night, they are both there to drink away their pretty crappy day. The super sexy Frenchman and his accent that melts a gal’s panties right off and the super witty young lady take it up a notch and visit the hotel across the street for a night never to be forgotten.
Jude will do anything for her father. He’s the one who raised her, and her father is everything to her. What the problem is though are the bills stacking up, the pantry that is empty of food, and the medical treatments costing an arm and a leg.
Célian is the opposite. He’s waiting for the day to come for his father to die. He’s treated Célian like crap ever since that one day. Célian has been paying the price his entire life. As soon as pops is no longer with us, Célian will be the one in charge of the media empire.
These two are so alike in many ways but so different too. It’s a wonderful banter that these two have towards each other. There are some pretty Hot, Steamy scenes in this book that will have you turning up the A/C to max. Written very well, this book had me reading nonstop. I found though, it was a pretty predictable story.

First of all, Leigh should trademark/copyright/patent #AssholeAlpha cause she seems to have exclusivity in creating them. She single handedly changed the Bad Boy genre. Dishing out one hard hitting Vicious, Scandalous men after the other, they create Ruckus in Midnight, they're the Bane of my stupid heart, but I would create Headlines in the Dirty Sheets with anyone of them any given day ......and TWICE on Sunday 😂. The writing is superlative and sharp, very cutting edge language is used and banter is beyond witty, crossing into waggishness. Rogue smirks, blighting crisp dialogues, excruciating emotions, eroding guilt all embellish this story.
"when you make a confession, you go to a priest. You don't have a direct line to God.
I'm not a king, I'm a goddam God in this place!"
You read a lot of books which showcase "Faux alphas" which change characteristics and moods with every turn of the page. The consistency and continuity of Assholery never changes in a Shen book. The men have a bite, they are hungry, ruthless, unapologetic and curiously suffering from Persecution complex, so they go on an all out offensive.
"how had this guy not been assassinated yet? He was a walking, talking personal offense"
Driven with "Beat them Before they can" ideology.
Célian Laurent is a man with chips, no...boulders on his shoulder. He's angry at himself, his parents, the world. All he has in his quiver are venom dipped words that pierce, demean, demote people around him. They shake in their shoes in front of him, but they can't deny his animalistic magnetism, his compelling sexuality. He is on a mission to be the biggest, baddest, meanest network and he won't let trivial things like marriage, love, heart, relationships stand in the way.
" The future of LBC looked Royally vindictive, regally pissed, and majestically explosive."
That's why Judith Penelope Humphry is knocked flat on her ass at the sight of him. They have a wildly satisfying night, Jude is about to lose her heart like Célian loses his wallet. She's generous to a fault. Full of self-doubt, yet giving and generous. What an odd couple they make. Their chemistry is so hot and energetic, it could power up entire Manhattan! They're so similar, it's uncanny !!
"She thought she could never love.
I thought I didn't deserve love"
I so wanna tell you the ENTIRE Story because it was so fulfilling, so engrossing, I just couldn't keep it down. At times the emotions became too thick and I had to step away occasionally, but the hook of Célian was deep in and I couldn't shake it off !! He's so hot, panties aren't required cause they'll incinerate 🔥 so skip them and just get hot and horny reading the book.
"He was a level of gorgeous most people will not program to process. I am talkin Chris Pine perfect, Chris Hemsworth Mammoth and Chris Pratt charming. He was a Triple-C threat and I was S.C.R.E.W.E.D"
Phoenix Townley appears briefly but he effing STOLE MY HEART. He appears like the inner voice for Célian (much to his chagrin), a soul mirror.
"Just look at the state of your family. You hardly know what you're doing"
Ava, Kate, Rob, Brianna,James,Iris are all support cast and they boost and bolster the story. The END, MOFO END, just Stole my heart. I loved that he remains a true caustic, sarcastic self till the last where he doesn't "ask, he orders" !!
His declaration of love is............ unique lol!
" I don't hate you Judith, and that's more than I can say for the rest of the world right now" okaaaaay!
The book ends on a high note with Mr Timberlake bringing the sexy back and eating the perfect macaron in Paris with pink chuck Wallet-thief, Smiths fan Jude being molested in an the elevator( what is with people and their fascination with elevators!!) by one-night-stander, cold hearted Bastard kissing her senseless
A standing ovation for Leigh for making Juicy, sexy, dirty headlines between the sheets and setting the book pages on fire🔥
