Weary from battling a
hostile takeover attempt of her family’s company, Lily seeks a
distraction in Todd, an erstwhile bartender with a large trust fund and
magical tongue. Meanwhile, a connection seems to be developing between
Lily and Alejandro, a wealthy and gorgeous Cuban-American, whose
brother, Rodrigo, is dating Lily’s twin sister, Dahlia. When Alejandro
unexpectedly rebuffs Lily one night, she is deeply dismayed. But, after
seeing Alejandro’s picture with a gorgeous Latina model in the gossip
pages, Lily thinks it wasn’t just a misunderstanding. When the sisters
and brothers reunite in Aspen for a ski weekend, will Lily’s heart
remain frozen or will the fire between her and Alejandro rekindle and
melt away the ice?
This is the final installment of the Lily series, and while I did like
to the first two books in this trilogy, the third left me wondering a couple of
things. The biggest is: why wasn’t this
just one, big book?
This installment brings us Lily in more of a transition. She’s a different woman from the one we met
in book one, but she still hasn’t seemed to find her footing in her career or
her private life. She is distracting
herself with Todd, who sounds quite magical in the sack, while also trying to
navigate a strange situation with Alejandro.
How will it all end up for Lily?
I liked this book but at the end I honestly thought to myself that
there needed to be more. I wasn’t really
satisfied with an end like this to a series that I really enjoyed. It left
several things unfinished in my opinion, and kind of left lose ends hanging out
there. Maybe they’ll be covered in
Dahlia’s books?
I also thought that Lily as a character did quite end up where I hoped
she would. I thought she would be in a
more solid place by the end, and really transform from the woman we met
initially. She didn’t quite come full circle for me in this book, and that
makes me sad because Lily is a character I enjoyed reading and following, and I
just wanted more for her.
As with the other two, the sex in this book is excellent and hot. But by this book, it does seem a bit
repetitive. I would’ve actually liked
more meat to this story and less sex! I
know, I can’t believe I just typed that either.
Overall, I liked this book but I think this series needs just ONE MORE
installment. As it stands now, 4 stars.
