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.

This story is a steady stream of hilarious and swoony moments. I was constantly giggling over frat hell hijinks, and falling completely in love with Denton. I really rooted for these characters, and the story kept me reading cover to cover in a single sitting. I want more, but I’m also completely satisfied with what I got. Now I shall patiently wait for Trey and Beulah’s love story…
I love this series!!! Just keeps getting better with every book. I hope she continues, I want Trey, Emily, Sasha and even Elijah’s book. Anything to keep this series going.
Denton is on of the Frat Hell guys we know and love in this series already. He’s funny and definitely a player.
Rebecca is trying her best to keep herself afloat. She’s trying to find a way to stay in school, eat, keep a roof over her head and her car running. No such luck, after she gets denied financial aid, her car stops and it starts pouring down. Luckily a nice young guy helps her start it. He’s definitely some serious eye candy but she can’t give into the temptation. After realizing she has to move out of the dorms, she looks in the local ads for a room or apartment to share. After several No’s on the room she looks at, her last hope is answered by no one other than Hot Eye Candy.
Let the fun begin…..
I haven’t laughed this hard since reading the third book in this series. Shannon Shade definitely knows how to bring the laughter and the feels. I definitely won’t look at ponies the same ever again, thanks for that.
Zero F*ucks takes us back to Violent Circle where all the shenanigans happen and of course the T-Rex costume shows up again.
Becca just lost her financial aid and needs a place to live that’s cheap. After looking at a few places she comes to find one place that might work. The only problem it’s Frat Hell, but since she doesn’t have another opinions it as to do.
We know Denton from the other books and love his sense of humor. From the moment he meet Becca he was attracted to her and she him. But being roommates they wouldn’t go there, couldn’t go there.
No one does rom-com like Shannon Shade does that’s for sure. The humor always pushes the limit just a little buts it’s never to far. Where she comes up with half of these ideas I have no clue.
So if you are looking for a hilarious read with feels then definitely read this and the other books in the series for sure.
What…
The…
Actual…
Fuck!!
I have never laughed so much that tears were running down my face while reading. Actually wait yes I have when I read Worth It which was by this crazy ass author and CM Owens. Let me get back on track, this one had me from start to finish. There was no fucks given when this book was written. The boys of Frat Hell are backhand up to their usual. If you don’t know what I mean by that, then you need to read the first three books in this series. If you do know what I mean, then you know what crazy shit can be had with a Dino suit, MLP porn, and inflatable sex doll, and royally tripping on edibles. Crazy shit that has a chance of making you laugh so hard that can lead to almost peeing in your pants. I am so glad that Denton was given his chance. You know since Noble got his with Jami. The asswipe Kenny I can take or leave.
OK enough about the boys. Now Becca was just the right girl to fit in with the boys. The way that she was able to go toe to toe with them, just made you sit back and wait to see what trouble can be had. The one thing about her that I loved was how she didn’t see the craziness of Denton as a reason to run away. Well she wanted to run away from her feelings for him.
I don’t know how Shade does it, these characters are ones that I cannot get enough of. I want more of this series, I can hope that there is going to be more to come from the residents of Violent Circle. I mean Trey needs his turn. So Shade get to work and give the world his story. But, when it comes to Zero Fucks I will have to say that I now have my favorite book in the series.
Zero F*cks, book 4 in the Violent Circle series.
I’m so glad to be back to this awesome neighborhood. All the fun, the crazy and everyone having each other’s backs…it’s so great!
“People lose sight of the little Joy’s, of acting silly and letting loose without worrying what others might think or say. There’s clearly none of that judgment here.”
The Frat Hell are looking for a new roommate, and Becca is looking for a place to stay. Denton is trying to just be friends with her, because of the repercussions it could make. Easier said than done.
“Things can go to shit in an instant and sometimes there’s nothing you can do to prevent it. But you also never know how or when they’re going to change for the better again.”
Man, I laughed so hard while reading this book. All the crazy… Edibles, dinosaur costume, blowup doll…and so much more.
“You might not be the dumbest man in the world, but you better hope he doesn’t die.”
This was a laugh out loud and snort kind of book. The story line is simple and fun, nothing overly complicated. There was some romance and sweetness in between the humor. I can’t say I connected to the characters or really felt any which way about them. I did like that the book dealt with realistic issues and how caring people and humor helps. It was a cute book and I might read more. Light and easy. 3.5 stars.
This is the first book I read of S.M.’s (yes, I know I am starting with book 4 but since they can be read as standalones, all is good!) and I honestly laughed so hard, I swear I was going to pee my pants. But let me back up a bit. A friend of mine recommended this book, as I was in a slump and needed a good rom com. Zero F*cks came through with flying colors!! I started a Violent Circle reading marathon and and have read Book 1 and 2 and loved them as well, but Denton & Becca’s story is my favorite so far. And I can’t even tell you how many times I broke out in a full blown laugh fit. Tears running down my face, sides aching, and snorting to catch my breath. The banter and pranks between Denton, Trey, and Kenny is hilarious.
Gaaaah, I can’t tell you how much I loved Denton & Becca! I have highlighted so many passages and go back to them to reread.
If you are looking for a rom com story and series that seriously makes you laugh so hard, it almost causes you to pee your pants, the Violent Circle series is a MUST!!
5 side achingly, laugh out loud stars!
I don’t know how S.M. Shade does it but each of these books gets better, funnier and crazier than the last. This book is not for the faint of heart, only read if you are looking for over the top, crude humor with a HEA. That being said I loved it, just what I needed to read a good laugh out loud fun romance.
I absolutely loved this book and loved Denton from previous books in the series.I don’t know where SM Shade gets all these funny stories but I love them.This series takes the humdrum and turns it into hysterically funny situations. Best books ever!!!
I have been waiting for Denton’s story because Yes darlings I have read all of these lovely books in the Violent Circle series and will continue until our author ends. Which I personally hope is not for a long long time. I knew in book one Scarlet Toys that Denton was going to be more than a dumb college kid that lived in Frat Hell and sure enough we get to see how much this young man is so much more than that and more. This book is all about Denton and Bella, who is the newest addition to Violent Circle. Bella also is the newest member of Frat Hell. Yep a girl has moved into the college guys apartment and let’s just say things are not smooth sailing. I love that we get to see all of our characters from past books in this book while we get laugh out loud funny storyline about Denton and Bella as we watch them grow together. I am so looking forward to the next book in this series, which I so hope is Trey’s story and more about my favorite small town …well my favorite folks from Violent Circle.
I don’t know how this author comes up with her material, but she kills me with laughter. I’ve wanted Denton’s story for a while now, and boy am I not disappointed at all. Becca is the perfect match for him. Moving in with three guys would be intimidating for most young women, but she handles it amazingly. I will say that My Little Ponies will forever crack me up now!
Becca has had some really bad luck lately. Her car is on it’s last legs and she has just lost her financial aid and must move out of her apartment and find somewhere else to live. Luckily she still has her job as a tattoo artist but she needs to get more clients if she is going to make it.
Denton works at a local car shop and attends school and is about to start working on his thesis. He is generally a great guy and when he sees a woman struggling with startign her car he jumps in to help! Unfortunately for Denton one of his roommates has left and now he and his otehr rommmates must find someone to live with them or pay more for rent.
When Becca lands at Denton’s door for the apartment she wonders if she can handle living with three guys and Denton wonders if he can keep it at just “friends”.
This story is so full of laughs from start to finish and if you have never picked up a book by this author you seriously need to!!
Becca was such a great character who hit a patch of bad luck but you knew she had the ability to get herself out of trouble with a little help. I loved how Denton helped her with her website which in turn helped her get more business. I hated seeing her relationship with Kenny as he was so rude to her but the scene with the ponies was absolutely amazing!!! OMG – the tears!!
Denton was great but I was mad that he didn’t put Kenny in his place more. I loved that he worked at a car wash as it is a random job and it really shows what people will do for money as not everyone can have a glamorous job. He was working hard on his thesis and I really do understand why he did what he did but I wish he had told Becca right from the beginning.
The sexual tension between Denton and Becca was intense and you knew something was going to happen but you never knew where or when things would happen for the first time.
I was shocked at what happened with Kenny and I was not expecting that at all.
The end was a little intense after the secret came out and I was shocked at what Denton was willing to do to make up for it. Good on him but I was so happy that Becca came around!!
The epilogue was the most brilliant written thing I have ever read and the tears were just pouring out of my eyes!! OMG – I seriously can not explain how much I loved it and “don’t you die on me” will never be the same!
5 laugh my ass off stars!! OMG this book is the SHIT!!
This is book 4 in the “Violent Circle” series. It can be read as a stand alone but why mess up a good thing. Read them all!! This book is Denton and Becca’s story!
First of all, I knew I was gonna love Denton and boy did I ever. This story right here is my fucking favorite!! I haven’t laughed this hard since “Worth It” (my number one favorite rom com)!!! I had people giving me funny looks at work because while I was trying to hold laughter back I was crying AND snorting!! Man the Frat Hell boys are hilarious!!! This is my number two favorite rom com of ALL time!!!!!
I don’t want to kill the funny shit so just read it. Please know this is a laugh out loud book, a love story, a story of friendships and hard times. Denton is a mother f’ing KING!! I love him the MOST!! And when you meet “Inflatia” let me know what you thing. I love all these fuckers!!
“These frat hell guys are crazy, but as Denton likes to say, I give Zero Fucks.”
The writing was superb and delicious. This is a MUST read of my whole LIFE!! Can you tell I love the shit out of this book!!
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
I was laughing withing minutes of starting this book and don’t think I stopped! I have read most of the books from SM Shade and have loved everything so far! I loved reading Denton’s story he has been a background character in the Violent Circle series so it nice to get to know him. Becca has lost the funding for college and has to find somewhere cheap to live so she can still afford school. Last on her list of prospective rooms to rent is one in Violet Circle, but can she share with three guys?? Especially as one of them she has met before?? Denton stepped up and helped a “damsel” in distress when her car wouldn’t start then she turned down a date with him, now she standing in his house trying to rent a room!! Can Becca trust dentin to be who she needs him to be or his he just looking after number one?
As I have come to expect from SM Shade this fourth book in the Violent Circle Series had me laughing out loud as well as swooning as Becca and Denton find love. She has a true art of mixing humor with romance and giving you a well rounded novel that you ca not stop reading.
I love the crazy that is the Violent Circle! Once again S.M. Shade has written a story so hilariously funny that I could not stop laughing! I love the characters and the witty remarks that fill the pages. Each of the Violent Circle stories are wonderfully funny and can be read on their own!
The tenets of Frat H*ll have me dying…of laughter. If you love romantic comedy, please do yourselves a favor and read this series. Denton is hilarious and crazy and crazy smart. It was nice to see another side of him. I liked that besides the 12 year old humor and crazy hijinks, there were some great life lessons in there, as well. I loved that Becca could not only hold her own, she fit right in. Who needs an ab workout when my stomach is hurting after all the laughter in this book. I. Loved. It!
This book. My sides hurt so much I laughed the entire time. A quick, fast and frantic read mainly because I could NOT put it down. I’ve loved Denton from his first appearances in the Violent Circle series and was thrilled Shannon gave him his own book. The pranks, the drama, the characters were all perfection. These books are to be read as fun and she meets that goal and then some. Shannon knows how to bring the zany and romance. I cannot wait to see what she writes next.
I could not stop laughing like a loon!! This book is definitely one of her best!! Denton is a great addition to my harem!!
*WARNING* contains explicit adult love scenes
Denton lives in Violent Circle, they call his house the Frat Hell House. Denton is easy going and has a great sense of humor. Denton is in his last year of college and likes where he is.
Becca lost her funding for college, cant afford campus housing and found an ad for a room in Violet Circle. Becca is a tattoo artist who loves her job, has one friend, and feels likes life has decided to take a huge dump on her all at once.
These two characters aren’t really alike, they fit together like two puzzle pieces. I adore these stories. I have read this series from the beginning, I think this is the best one yet. I enjoy the antics the characters do, the practical joke they play on one another. The sparkly pony scene, gummy bear scene, dino scene, and triple date (just to name a few) had me laughing so hard my sides hurt. This book is absolutely hilarious, but has a great story about openness and trust. You will get you HEA in this one too. RECOMMENDED
