Taming Lily by Monica Murphy Review
4 Smooches
Synopsis
I’m in trouble. Again. And instead of facing my problems head on, I’ve run away. Far away this time, and no one can catch me—not my two younger sisters, Violet and Rose, not my father, my grandmother, or that witch Pilar who wants to take control of my family’s cosmetics company. Now I’m in Hawaii, enjoying the sun and the sand and water, where nobody knows the hot mess known as Lily Fowler. And I’m loving every minute of it.
But someone is watching me. Following me. He’s gorgeous. And soon we’re talking, and against all my instincts, I reveal bits and pieces of myself to Max. It feels good, though I know he can’t be the man for me. These sudden feelings we share are way too complicated, too fraught, too intense.
Then everything explodes and I’m forced to return home. My intentions have always been true, but now everyone’s mad at me. I don’t know who to turn to anymore . . . except to Max. He’s who I want to trust. But I’m not so sure I should. Maybe it’s worth the risk—and what-ifs be damned. . . .
Review
“Lily Fowler has a way of making everything sexy.”
Taming Lily is the final book in the Fowler Sisters series by Monica Murphy and focuses on the eldest sister and family wild child, Lily. Hacker extreme and the last sister to settle down Lily is on the fun from her dad’s girlfriend (who also happens to work for their cosmetic company), Pilar. Taking off to Hawaii without letting everyone know Lily is determined to stay in control and get a handle by herself everything that is going on.
“The man commands my body like no other. And I don’t use the word command lightly, either.”
Max is tailing her all the way to Hawaii. Hired by Pilar to retrieve her laptop he finds himself following her for more than just the case. Instantly connected and attracted to her he has a hard time separating his feelings for her from the job that needs to be done. Lily likes to put an image out that she has everything under control but in reality her life and possibly those around her are all in jeopardy. Everything the sisters have worked towards could come crashing down and instead of facing it all head on Lily runs.
“The way he takes full ownership of my body, pushing me into position, driving me wild. He’s commanding, a little rough, a little crude. A lot sexy.”
Max and Lily have a exciting dynamic. Lily is a fighter and very strong willed and Max demands control in the bedroom, something Lily has always craved but scared to truly face. They are riveting and when they give in to their desires and leave their distractions and reluctance at the door the two of them turn sparks into fireworks!
“Fuck. She is my every weakness, and the realization both exhilarates and scares the shit out of me.”
Taming Lily was seductive, suspenseful and an all around fantastic read. Pulling together a storyline that has slowly been developing I thoroughly enjoyed seeing a conclusion to the Fowler sister’s stories. While this could easily and enjoyably be read as a standalone I highly recommend giving the entire series a try. Each sister has their own exciting and supremely sexy storyline and together they make a series that is impossible to put down.
