Mr. Rogers did not prepare me for the people in my neighborhood. A cut in financial aid for college and a lot of bad luck have landed me not only on Violent Circle, but in the apartment known as Frat Hell.I can handle myself, so living with three guys isn’t a problem. Even the madhouse disguised as a low income neighborhood isn’t an issue. The trouble is Denton, the man with the mischievous grin … mischievous grin in the room across from mine.
I can resist the lean, muscled body. I’m stronger than the quick smile and adorable dimple. But his kindness, that may be the straw that breaks the vagina’s crack.
I just need to keep my head down and my legs together while I focus on making my dream of owning my own tattoo shop a reality.
*This is book four in a series, but can be read as a standalone novel. Book one is Scarlet Toys, which is Free.

And we have another winner! This fourth book in a interconnected series of standalones, the Violent Circle by S.M. Shade is a fantastic read.
Meet Becca and Denton. Yes THE Denton fron Frat Hell in Violent Circle. The careless jokester is about to meet his fate.
Becca is a 22 year old woman, a talented artist who works hard to make ends meet. When she loses financial aid she needs new housing, pronto. She moves in with Denton and his frat boys and now the fun begins. And that I mean literally. Their story is a rom/com of it’s finest, highly entertaining, a laughing out loud, sometimes hilarious, but always witty and fun read.
The writing is excellent and the characters are simply great. Denton and Becca’s story is my favorite read in the series with Garrett and Cassidy’s a close second. The previous books are Scarlet Toys; Frat Hell and Clean Start. I recommend the book and the series and give 5 lol stars.
Probably my best read of this series so far, and that is saying a lot! The cover is just gorgeous and the book is simply fantastic! This book made me laugh from the beginning right through to the end. I loved every second of it! Left me feeling happy and lighthearted – and wanting to read it again and again!
Why didn’t I purchase some incintinace pads before reading this book?
OMG S.M. Shade, I have not laughed out loud like that for quite a while. This book is pure genius. I need to live in your brain for a while. I want to know where you come up with half of this.
We return to Violent Circle, with all the usual antics and surprises galore. We meet up with charchters old on new. Life in Violent Circle is never dull.
It’s Dentons turn to find love, to be put under the spell of a woman. After advertising for a new housemate Denton was surprised to see the girl he helped jump start her car. This is fate. But the no sleeping with the new room mate could ensure that bro code is put into action.
Becca needs somewhere to stay as she struggles to pay for her tuition, rent and bills. Moving into Violent Circle could be the way forward. However, little did she realise that she would find alot more.
Once again, PURE GENIUS. If you have never read this series I suggest you download book one and give it a go. You will not be disappointed. Just remember the incontinence pads though!
A Clever, Funny & Sweet RomCom!!
Book #4 in the Violent Circle Series hit everything right for me I loved the characters, old & new, the residents of the circle, the fun & games, friendships & the wonderful storyline that weaved it all together so perfectly!!
I really liked Denton in the previous books. His humour and ability to have fun whilst still being so likeable as well as being a stand up guy translated into Denton being the perfect leading man
Becca is an amazing tattoo artist, she works evenings while putting herself through college. Due to her financial aid being cut she needs new, cheap housing pronto & ends up becoming the newest roommate in the Frat He’ll house!!
This pair are so cute. Becca is so quick with put downs & come backs. Although she’s initially quite unsure of her new roommates, she does hit it off with Denton extremely quickly!! Their humour really compliments each other & an easy friendship grows
The Dino suit makes a hilarious reappearance Denton really doesn’t have much luck in the groin area again And the ‘PONIES’ scene is absolutely side splitting Honestly, this is such an enjoyable & fun book, Possibly my favourite

I loved this book. I love this series. If you want a break from angst but still want a well written entertaining story then this is for you. S M Shade doesnt shy away from situations that would be embarrassing. Nope her charactets fully embrace the humiliating. From dino suits protesting to waffle stomps these books have you crying with laughter.
Becca moves in with the Frat Hell guys due to her cash flow flowing away from her. Her attraction to Denton is not something she can explore as neither is in a position to move. Some things just cant be contained though and soon the reasons not to are scattered around the room, along with their clothes.
On a serious note DO NOT READ if you are in a place where you cant laugh as holding it in will probably cause internal issues 🙂
A cut in Becca’s financial aid, has her answering an ad for an available room. Only problem is, it’s Frat Hell on Violent Circle. Becca isn’t left with any other options besides homelessness so she moves in- but wasn’t expecting the crazy that comes with living on Violent Circle. Or the people. Including her new roommate Denton. But despite how much she is attracted to his humor, and charm. She can’t go there. She won’t. If things go south, they are stuck living together without any other options. It shouldn’t be too hard, right?
Of course I absolutely loved the Violent Circle series, and this one was no different. It was funny, and from the moment I picked it up I couldn’t put it down. If you love humor, insane neighbors, and crazy antics then this books and series is for you!! 4 out of 5
OMG, if you’re looking for a laugh out loud, pull no punches romcom, look no further. I honestly can’t decide if I want to move into Violent Circle or run in the opposite direction. I don’t know where Shade comes up with some of this stuff, honestly I’m never going to look at ponies the same way again, and I’m going to make sure I have a camera ready at restaurants near college campuses, but I hope she keeps these books coming.
The characters, main and secondary, all hold your interest, and seriously have you begging for the next book. The plot moves at a quick pace, and the one liners are ones you want to use in real life.
Oh, and if you have a thing for dinosaurs in lingerie… this is definitely for you.
OMG I loved this book SO much, it was hilarious!!
This books is hilarious. My stomach and ribs hurt so bad (but in a good way) from laughing so hard. As always SM Shade bro GS us a comedy packed story with romance and an amazing story line. I absolutely love this series. I encourage everyone that’s hasn’t read this series or this book to stop what you doing and go grab you a copy!
Once again, Shannon Shade has given her readers a laugh out loud romantic comedy with all the feels! Not only was I laughing my butt off while reading (I will never look at ponies the same way again), but I was swooning and blushing. This book is sexy as hell but has a fantastic love story. Overall, it’s just a true winner and my second favorite out of the series (the first book will always hold a place in my heart). If you are in the mood for a book that gives you the giggles and makes your heart go pitter pat (thanks, Denton), then this is a must read for you! I highly recommend this book, and quite frankly, the whole series! PS: You can read each of these books as complete standalones. The characters are interconnected to other stories but not enough that you can’t follow the story at hand.
What readers can expect from Zero F*cks
<> A smart heroine who is humble and kick-ass. She’s a local tattoo artist who doesn’t take crap from anyone (especially PONY boys LMAO).
<> A sweet and determined “frat” boy (he lives in frat hell, and isn’t technically a frat boy) who cares deeply for his friends and future (he also doesn’t mind wearing a dino costume during sexy time or bringing an inflatable friend on triple date).
<> Some wise-cracking and HILARIOUS secondary characters who need their own love story PRONTO. 😀
S. M. Shade
And she slays it AGAIN folks! This author has to be one of the funniest I’ve ever read, and with each one in this series she tops the last! This is the fourth in the series of neighbors, but they are interconnected stand alones, (you can totally read them out of order, trust me, each of these stories is well worth the read!) I LOVE this neighborhood and if it were real I’d totally live there lol. I’ve been waiting for Denton to get his story since he was introduced and Becca was truly perfect for him. All of the hilarity that ensues from them living together had me snort laughing and chuckling to myself all night. We need to band together somewhere in middle America and make Ms. Shade’s Violent Circle neighborhood come to life lol. I was glad for the visit though and it was great catching up with the ‘gang’ and I can’t wait for the next one, maybe Trey who is quite the character now that we’ve got Dent all squared away. Truly great book!
This is definitely my favorite book in this series. Their banter was fabulous. There were moments I was laughing so hard I had to stop for a minute to wipe my tears. Absolutely amazing, the perfect rom-com without too much drama.
What could possibly go wrong when a girl moves in with the Frat Hell guys from Violent Circle??? Becca needs a place to stay and since Noble’s moving out, she can move in. Becca fit right in with the guys and Denton’s rivaling Noble for the top spot with me as a book boyfriend. This book was hilarious, especially that last chapter. Trey’s book is next and I can’t wait.
I was in tears with this book! Hilarious.
So many all kinds of wrong with Denton and the guys. Wrong in a good way.
This book was funny, hot and just great all around
If you’re a fan of romcoms I highly suggest this one
Once again Shade has me laughing my ass off! The shit this woman comes up with, is just downright hilarious and epic.
Zero F*cks takes us back to the hilarity that is Violent Circle. Of course the shenanigans are ever present, especially when you live in a place where ‘normal’ is a dirty word. And, you get it all, every one makes an appearance and it couldnt have been any better.
Shade, shows why she is a master at rom com with this. Definatly a must read and a read over and over again. There is just something about Violent Circle that grabs ahold of your heart and burrows it’s way in!
