Synopsis
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.

Review
Dirty Headlines is the fourth book I’ve read by L.J. Shen, and it will not be the last. This is an enemies-to-lovers book, which seems to be Shen’s specialty.
Let me first say that this book has some very explicit scenes, so if you are looking for a cute rom-com, this isn’t for you. On the other hand, if you want an alpha male and strong woman who gives as good as she gets, you should pick this one up.
Celian is an asshole. There is no other way to say it, honestly, and while he gets better, he’s pretty much a dick throughout the whole book. But a loveable hot asshole, so… But Jude is the best thing about this book. She is intelligent, hardworking, and stands up for her beliefs. The chemistry between these two was off the charts. If they weren’t talking to each other, I was waiting for the next time they were.
I had a few plot questions, loose ends that needed to be tied, and things that got brought up that were maybe unnecessary or needed to be better fleshed out a little, but they were easily forgiven.
