Fallen Foe by L.J. Shen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an interesting read to listen to. When I first met Arsène, I thought he was such a twisted character. He appeared to be heartless and wanted to control his Fiancee, as she tried to control aspects of his life as they grew up. They were quite toxic together, and his friends continued to point that out to him. After her death, Arsène appeared a little lost, however Winnifred came back into his life and he did not like how their lives were colliding once again.
Winnie and Arsène worked together on unravelling their partners lives. Each secret held more lies, however it made it easier to move on as they realised they weren't the perfect people they thought they were. It drew Arsène and Winnie closer together, and the chemistry between them got stronger. I could see that Winnie was becoming part of Arsène's world, even though he tried to keep her away.
I thought that Arsène and Winnie were perfect for one another. Winnie was able to calm Arsène's craziness. L.J. Shen's story was portrayed perfectly by Joe Arden and Savannah Peachwood. They drew me into the world and I enjoyed their smooth stroy telling.
