Pierced by Sydney Landon
Pierced by Sydney Landon Book Summary
“Oh, Lia, you never challenge a man like me. I promise you; you’ll do everything I want you to do and beg for more."
My name is Lucian Quinn and I own one of the most successful software companies in the world. I’m twenty-nine, rich and single. Impressive right? I’m also a favorite target for every hungry socialite looking to land the uncatchable catch. Maybe it sounds vain, but the fact that I’m a God between the sheets doesn’t hurt my stock any. What these women don’t know though is that I’m completely screwed up and damaged beyond repair by my past. The only part of me I’ll ever willingly give them is the hour it takes to make them scream…several times.
Then I saw her…
I’m Lia Adams and I’m in my last year at St. Claire’s University in North Carolina. I grew up with an abusive mother, and a twisted stepfather who was worse…so much worse. I’m so close to escaping from my past and making my dreams come true. I’ll do anything necessary to survive, even work as an escort to help pay for my college expenses. The men that I accompany to various events as an escort for Date Night are mostly harmless and just want an attractive woman on their arm for an evening. It has never gone further than that…until him…
Circumstances bring two people that should have never crossed paths together and in the days and weeks ahead, they grow close quickly, each seeing a kindred soul in the other. As ghosts from their past rise to haunt them, they cling to each other as their lives start to spiral out of control. Soon, they realize that they’re both damaged possibly beyond repair. Will their love be what saves or destroys them?
This book is meant for mature readers who are 18+. It contains explicit language, and graphic sexual content.
**Book 1 of the Lucian & Lia Trilogy.**

Great series. The whole series is addicting. Hate I have to wait for the last series to come out but it will be worth it May 2020. I hope you continue on the series. Love your books.
Amazing Series!. The entire series is amazing! These books were one of the first romance novels that I read, and was so happy that I chose them! The characters feel real, their interactions are funny, and super sexy. But Landon goes beyond the sex and creates an intriguing plot for you to stay interested in for all three books! I highly recommend them!
Pierced. By Sydney Landon Amazing story so gripping then cut off! Slightly frustrated here! Bookbub
Title: Lucian & Lia / Pierced by Sydney Landon. Review: Wow ... what an utterly compelling story! I found myself reading into the wee hours on the weekend and at every spare opportunity during the week. I appreciate how the author careful linked the past with the present. Clearly a gifted/talented writer that as the story continued to unfold ensured that so many bits and pieces from previous conversations were not forgotten and were carefully and thoughtful woven into the story. Sydney Landon will definitely be added to the list as one of my "TOP-10" authors. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this trilogy! //EOF (11/25/2016) MK-Platinum 🌷
I always go back to this!. One of the best book series I have ever read.
Only part one. This is a to-be-continued book. Hate those.
Amazing. Literally this book surprised me! I can't wait to read the rest of the series. Definitely recommend this book to anyone!
Good book. I was glad I stumbled across this book. Generally speaking I have stopped reading books that are published in volumes but this one will likely be the exception.
Amazing!!!. Seriously could not put this book down. Incredibly well written and carefully directed plot. So descriptive!
Pierced. Excellent book. A lot of sexual content but has a good story also. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the HUGE cliffhanger it ended on. A good series doesn’t need cliffhangers for me to buy the next book in series and I definitely would’ve bought the next one.
Pierced. Fantastic😍
Pierced. Great read!!!!! Could not wait to keep going -- I had to get the next books! Just as good a story line as Anne Bishop my favorite writer!
Cliffhanger ending - half a book. Well written but a Cliffhanger ending with unresolved storyline makes this half a book This could have been a 4-5 star book
Love, love, love. I have read this collection several times. It is heartbreaking as well as comical at times. Just couldn't get enough of Lucian and Lia.
Pierced. Phenomenal book, great script!
Persevere. There are enough great moments throughout the series to make it a worthwhile purchase and time spent reading these books. Can't wait for Rose's story!!! I am 3 books in and thoroughly enjoyed it thus far!
Wow. I couldn’t put it down! I love Lia and Lucien’s Story. I cant wait to see what happens next!
Pierced. Aww fell in to this one, loved the characters, and the story line. Can’t wait to read the second book. Three cheers!
Pierced. I hate stories that do not have an ending and you need to read another book in order to have some sort of closure.
Great story..... Enjoyed reading such different types of background stories for Lucian and Lia. Couldn’t wait to start reading books two and three. 👍🏽👍🏽
Pierce. I don’t like how it ends
Pierced/iBooks/Sydney Landon. I really liked books 1-3. I am starting 4 now. I could not put it down. I had to find out what was next
Pierced. This was a Great incomplete story. Is it too much to ask for a complete story?
Cliffhanger Ending. Really good book but cliffhanger ending.
Pierced. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Story is excellent!. I enjoyed the story and the characters very much. There is a lot of sexual details but the story itself takes that over! I didn’t care fir how it ended as the story goes over at least two more books.
pierced. LOVED IT
Meh. It was just ok
Pierced. This book literally blew me away...I enjoyed it from the beginning until is says to be continued...I need to know what happens
LOVED IT. I absolutely loved it. Read the 4 available books in 4 days. Couldn't keep my nose out of my phone.
Peireced. Boy, what a story can't wait to find out what happened next Such an exciting story, but so sooty it couldn't be finished in this story... Hate having to wait for the results, to finish this Pauline Got this with apple ITunes
Unbearable. The characters have zero depth. The story lacks any sort of development. The plot line is painfully incoherent. In the end, it simply suffers from an author who is trying too hard. The Sophomoric writing style makes me wonder how she ever made a best sellers list. Example: There's no need to justify why our heroine is on birth control. It's a prudent decision. Enough said. Explain less, develop more.
❤️. I cried I am not ashamed, I absolutely love it one of my favorite series!!!
Amazing. This book is so well written, it has a mix of drama, comedy , real life situation even though we all don’t fall in love with millionaires lol. but it makes me laugh it makes me feel it’s just a hands-down well written story and yes it ends on a cliffhanger but just read the next 2 books you won’t regret it!!
Mended. Great series! Very good books to read. You will enjoy!
Amazing good!. Had me hooked and ready for the next book!
AMAZING (WHAT A GREAT STORY). This is by far one of the best books I have read in a long time. The book was hot and steamy with a great storyline. It's the kind of book that keeps you on edge and you can't put down. The one book you end up reading all through the night. Trust me, it's a must read!
worth the read. I feel in this with this book as well as the others in the series. i’m ready to reread them again lol
Whew!!!. I was hooked after chapter 1. These characters were so damaged by life, yet still managed to find hope in each other. I loved all the characters and found myself lol, literally several times. Best starter yet!! Great job
Pierced. Very good. Outstanding! This book had everything!I highly recommend! U won’t be sorry.
Outdated. Of course making the girl the fragile broken one. The girls are always the damaged goods while the guy is God’s grift to man. These cliche stories are boring and dated.
Cliffhanger. Need to read more than one book if you like it. Comedy helps with the dark pasts. I was laughing a few times.
A great book that's worth your time. It's accurate to what you are expecting to happen in a persons life. Absolutely love it getting the 2nd one!!
Worth it. I loveeee this book!
AMAZINGLY GOOD BOOK!. I had stubbles upon Sydney Landon books. Am working my way through the Danvers series and while waiting on the next one to come available at my library I started reading Pierced. I was hooked on the first chapter! Had to force myself to put the book down so I could get sleep. I just wish I was able to access my Apple Books at work cause it drove me insane not being to know what happens next. I will agree with the other readers that the cliffhanger endings drive you insane but it also makes you want to dive right into the second book. I can’t wait to see what happens with Luc and Lia.
So good, so good!. Ok....no spoilers! Loved this book and I'm definitely reading the rest of the trilogy. Exciting characters, lots of cliffhangers, and the best sex scenes I've read in a long time. This story is a bit edgier than most, so be warned!
Exciting. Loved the story line. Looking forward to the ending.
Fantastic. This is an absolutely amazing story. Romance, a little mystery,some loss and rebuilding all in one book. Could not put it down. Can't wait to read the next in series.
Ms.. I love this book, it is awesome can't wait to read the next one.
Awesome. So this book is very captivating! It’s a nail biter for sure. I however don’t like the ending Of the book

Pierced. Was a good read. Really liked the drama of the story. The characters have a good background and are easy to understand. Lots happens in this book to keep you interesting and wanting more.
Fabulous!!!. What a great read! Highly recommended!!
Pierced. I didn't think you could write a book any lamer than 50 Shades of Grey but apparently I was wrong. Not only is this book a virtual carbon copy of 50 Shades but it's even more poorly written and lacking in class. Had me rolling my eyes the entire time. I can't put it down, not because I'm captivated but because I'm cheap and I paid for it so unfortunately I'll finish this juvenile poorly written knock off.
Love this book!. Great book, couldn't put it down.
Eventful. Absolutely loved this book. Downloaded it for free on iBooks to see how it was and couldn't put it down...read the whole book in a couple days...and now preordered fractured and waiting for it to come out....
Poorly written. Sentence structure, grammar, and speech are not authentic. Very fake, robotic and unrealistic. Who in their right mind would speak the words “Do explain that statement.” ? Couldn’t finish the book.
Great book. I really enjoyed this series- we’ll I’m almost done the last in lia and Luc’s story, cliff hangers!
Soooo freaking good.. Loved the series. Can't wait for Rose. And I think Aiden comes back for Kara. Oh ya.
Pierced. Absolutely loved this book and its author...will definitely be reading the other books in this serie .
Great read!. Captivating. Sucked me in and I couldn't stop reading! I wish I didn't have to wait for the next part to see what happens to Lia and Luc
Amazing. Omg I loved the book and very hard to put it down I was so intrigued and excited I didn't want it to end
Loved!!! Need number 2. Such a good book. I'm devastated I have to wait for the next one!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. this has been the best free iBook that i have ever read, i cant wait for the next book t come out, i just know im going to get hooked on the sample!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Loved it!. As said before, please don't wait months and months before you release the next instalment! It doesn't build anticipation, we just forget the storyline and it ruins the book :(
Gets better. I found this book/characters rather dull at first. 1/3rd in and that changed. It's an easy read
Yuck. Not a fan of slapping women in the face. The story was intriguing enough to want to know how this man was damaged. I prefer my hank panky stories to not have spanky!
Right in the feels!!!. Woah! This book is crazy... But soo good :D loved it, insane cliffhanger! So happy I read it - amazing! :D
Thoroughly enjoyable. Remarkably similar to Fifty Shades. Very formulaic but highly enjoyable. Well written and flows easily. Despite all the reasons I had, I couldn't not hate this book at all. It was a great fun read and I'm hanging on the second instalment.
Amazing trilogy. Fantastic Series, got the first book free and have become hooked.
Pierced. LOVED it!!!
Pierced. Awesome
My review. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book however was GUTTED when I reached the cliff hanger at the end. Won't spoil it for others but damn it! Can't wait to read the next one!!!!
Such a good series. I keep coming back to this trilogy year after year for an easy but so satisfying read. The characters are endearing with such growth over the 3 books without being annoying, they’re hot without being over the top and the challenges are surprising but not unrealistic. Definitely recommend
Absolutely loved it *****. Great story that just kept drawing me in with the suspense, action and romance. I absolutely loved this book and the characters. So I have continued on the next book in the series, to see where Lucian and Lia's journey will take them. Absolutely Love,love,love Sydney Landon.
Loved it. Can't wait for book 2
Inlove!!!. Absolutely loved this book, waiting for the next! When is the preorder coming out?!
Pierced. Sydney Landon. Predictable erotic,fast moving plot,perhaps overly descriptive sexual activity but the story holds your attention. Not finishing the book means unable to comment any further.
HUNGER FULFILLED. Omg I love this book so much. Love the story line
Pierced. Love this book as first intro to this author. Characters and story development are just right - found it hard to put down. Onto part 2 😀
OMG.....hurry with the next installment !!. Talk about cliffhanger, I can't believe you finished the book there! Anyway really look forward to the next one. What a great story, the characters are interesting, funny and loveable. Didn't want the book to finish. Pls don't leave it too long for the next instalment, as we forget the storyline, and it ruins the flow. Thxs for the great read
Amazing. From the very first chapter, I was hooked could not put the book down. I can't wait for the second book to be released.
Pierced. AMAZING can't stop reading
Pierced. Couldn't put the book down, can not wait for the next part of Lucian & Lia...I'm a bit devastated I have to wait to read it!!! Hurry up Sydney 😃😃😃
Nooooo!!! You can't end it like that😓. I loved it, please please hurry with the next one.
Good story. Shame about the spelling/lack of editing, put me off buying the rest of the series. Not the most fluid work - a bit disjointed - book could’ve been done better.
Couldn't put it down!. One of the best books I've read in ages!
Great series. Just finished the third book in the series, loved them real page turner
Pierced. Dreadful book and it's all due to the ending. To read a book of this length to be confronted by this ending is simply a travesty. Do not download until the author learns to write complete books.
Pierced. Great book... Loved the the story line with lots of twists and turns.... Gutted about the ending Cliffhanger!!! And not being able buy the next book.... Can't wait for the second on!! Which will be when?!?
Part one of a trilogy. The attraction between them is unbelievable and happens faster than it takes me to choose which pizza I want. At no point would a victim of nipple abuse from her stepdad, tie dental floss around them for fun.
Wow!!. Love love loved it! What a brilliant read!! Defo recommend it gx
Pierced. Love this book!!!! Couldn't put it down, can't wait for the next one
Great Read!. This entire series is great. Read all three books in less than a week, couldn't put it down. Great story, lovable characters and lots of secrets and mystery. Real page turner.
Pierced. Enjoyed this book a lot. Ended on a cliffhanger, looking forward to the next book 👍🏻
Predictable. I did enjoy the book, however, I found it quite predictable and a lot of it was like a copy cat, more 'vanilla' version of fifty shades. The ending has annoyed me as well, to much of a cliffhanger for the time you have to wait. Written well, would read again, good for a little read when you're in-between books.
Great story :). Love this story and look forward to see how it will end.
Hmmmmmm. Starts off very immature and cringeworthy! She giggles, takes photos off him, snorts through her nose, acts childish. Then for some inexplicable reason they quickly sleep together and fall head over heels- cringe. Can't take to any of the characters, not written very well and quickly started skim reading just to get it over with. Very predictable.
Pierced. Amazing book. Had me hooked after the first page. A must read for all fifty fans. Can't wait for the next one.
Fantastic!!. Wow what a story, can't wait for it to be continued. 😄😄
Must read. Fantastic book can't wait to read next book so gripping, sad,happy and romantic all in one very good
Ending???. Hmmm what a ending leave us hanging? I wanted to at least find out what is luc's story... Please let book 2 come out soon I can't wait...
:-). Great book - can't wait for the next one, when is it out?!
Pierced. Amazing. Hooked!!

Love Lucian and Lia. Can't wait to read Fractured
Awesome. Love it!!! The only problem is wait until May 2015 for Mended. Wonderful writer!!!
Meh.. The story was okay, but the author could have seriously used a copy editor.
No ending. You have to purchase other books in series in order to get full story. This book leaves you hanging. Hate that!
Review. This book really connected to me! I can't wait for the next book!!!
Pierced. This book of how Lucian and Lia each needs the other more and more...Dark demons are slowly appearing..I will have to find out the rest of this tangled web! A great first book!
AWESOME!!. Wow...A Huge Congrats To the Author SL for writing a Fantastic story. I loved Lia and Lucian story which had me hooked from page one. I'm also glad that I don't have to wait a year for book two. I recommend reading this book believe me when I say you will love it. Thanks SL
Hate. I loved the book. Hated the ending. I absolutely hate when books end like that. I most definitely will not read the next book. If the book ended better I would read the next but it was a Bad Ending😢😢
Excellent. Excellent book! I could not put it down until I finished it. I can't wait for the next installment. This book reminded me of 50 Shades, but it was better. Sydney Landon has become my favorite author. The Danvers series is excellent too!
Nice!. Great book.
Surprised me. This was a guilty pleasure. I call these types of books; "my junk food". Simply written, quick read, and contains the standard formula of characters that already exist in multiple books. Lucian, the impossibly good looking millionaire who is conveniently single. Lia, the struggling college student who, of course, feels out of place in the world. In addition, she somehow does not know the effects of taking NyQuil even though her full scholarship to university should justify her intelligence. Complete idiot. My first impression of this book was that everything feels illogical. If there was a person in real life who uttered half of Lucian's dialogue to me, I would go to the police. Complete psychopath. Yet, I could not stop reading. Slowly finding out the characters have dark and disturbing secrets, I was surprised. I grew to love the idiot and the psychopath. And, this book was pretty funny. There were many spicy sex scenes but also contained shocking, sincere, and emotional moments. The ending hit me really hard. I became so attached to these characters and engrossed in the story that I felt I was Lia. I instantly bought the next book in this series once I finished crying.
Pierced. I really enjoyed the characters and story line, and will definitely get the other books in the series. Bernice F.
Wow!. This book was AMAZING! I fell in love with Lucian and Lia. There were so many backstories here that you couldn't put the book down. Hot and sexy. Bravo Sydney Landon, this is the best book I've read in ages.
Awesome book. OMG what an amazing book this was. Finished it in one day could not put the book down. This book is totally hot 🔥. If you like sex scenes you will love this book. You have two people who both are broken from their past and fall in love. The book does leave you waiting with a cliffhanger. I highly recommend this book.
Great. Great
