4 Smooches!
Synopsis
What would you do if you were granted millions of pounds and a face that melts the underwear off of any woman? Meet Theodore Ellis, the business man who parties like a rock star, and has more women than he has room on his bed post to put the notches.
Meet Lilly Parker. With a difficult past; Lilly is cold, closed off and emotionally unavailable in every way. Don’t go thinking she’s the sweet and innocent victim though, she plays the game better than most men, and is the original use and abuse woman.
She’s built her walls ten feet high and topped with razor wire, but Theo is relentless in the face of a challenge and Lilly finds herself besieged by him. Can he get in her pants? Or will the unsuspecting man whore go a step further and finally tear down her walls? Unlikely.
This is no hearts and flowers love story, it is a battle of wills as a woman who trusts no-one denies a man who has never been denied.
Cue fireworks as female sass meets alpha male tenacity.
Besieged will make you laugh, fantasize and perhaps even shed a tear.
Review
What happens when a womanizing millionaire and a controlling successful woman want what they can’t have? Both Theo and Lilly desire nothing more than taking advantage of the opposite sex. With witty quick dialogue, L.P. Lovell draws you in and keeps you begging for more.
Theodore Ellis fits the general multi-millionaire, trust fund, gift to all women character. He knows it and every woman he slept with knows as well. He guarantees orgasms and nothing else. Theo and Lily meet at a local club ‘Poison’ and in an attempt to gain this conquest, he is turned down by the lovely Lily. Chemistry between Theo and Lily is beyond intense. Lily Parker is a very strong female role. The only way she will take a man is if she’s in the drivers seat. I wouldn’t go to the extreme of stating she is a man-eater necessarily. But she was able to keep toe-to-toe with man-whore, Theo. I loved how Lovell wrote a strong character. In my book collection, there are very few to name, and Lily stood out. It was refreshing not having the doe eyed, bashful, inexperienced or virgin lead. With ever strong person there is a reason that made them that way. And it was best described in this excerpt from this book: “Diamonds are made under pressure.” This books takes place in London, a destination I may never see, but it was nice to see have the scenery beautifully described.” I loved the English slang and I loved the word ‘arse’. I found myself finding any excuse to use it. And my husband was on the receiving end of it at times. My favorite character besides the strong female lead would be George. He was so quick and funny. His dialogue just made me giggle and I grew jealous of Lily for having a great friend like George.
Story ended in a cliffhanger so beware. I will admit that I kind of expected the surprise arrival of a character but I didn’t mind it. I understood where the story was going and can’t hold that on the author. I may be jumping in my assumptions that this series would be a trilogy. But the sequel to the She Who Dares series will be Conquered. Expected release should be Autumn 2014 and I will definitely be waiting for this one! As a matter of fact, Conquered is on my ‘to be read’ list on Goodreads. 4 smooches for Besieged by L.P. Lovell!
