*this review covers Volumes 1 and 2*Anyone who has read my reviews before knows that I detest cliffhangers. Serial romances aren’t my thing, but every once in a while a story comes along that intrigues me enough that I’m willing to give it a chance. This is such a story. This series begins with Lily Ross, assistant to a VP who runs roughshod over her and which she privately calls Herr Klaus, is working late on a Friday night for little pay and even less appreciation. Lily is a relatable heroine who is getting by, not sure what she wants, but with a good sense of humor and appealing outlook. She is summoned down to the lobby by Connor, the billionaire hero, who sweeps her up into a hot and heavy affair that takes Lily straight into the fast lane. The GoodLily was likeable and it was very easy to get pulled in and I can see why she’d run off with Connor. The obstacles they face were an interesting take on standard billionaire romance fare. The humor and the chemistry between the characters is not an easy thing to write - some have the knack and some don’t. Ms. Thorne has the knack. I enjoyed the secondary characters, especially when they were used to knock some sense into Lily and Connor.The BadThey are both and Lily are frustrating characters. The sex is very hot but because it’s a serial, it can be repetitive and I ended up skimming some of the later love scenes. The Bottom LineI was toast when the part 1 of the first volume was up for free on amazon, and much like a good drug dealer, Ms. Thorne gave me a taste and then sucked me in. She had me ponying up some serious cash for the opportunity to read the entire series. So, well played Ms. Thorne, well played. Great series but I was a bit disappointed with this one 3.5 stars.While I've enjoyed this series and love all the characters particularly Sebastian and Johnny I have to say, reluctantly I might add that this book wasn't all that I'd hoped for, now don't get me wrong I loved parts of it mainly when I think about it the parts with Sebastian in they definitely made me laugh. At times I found myself skimming which is something I didn't do with any of the previous books but I couldn't help it my attention was wandering, I found parts of it a bit slow but yet at the end it wraps up way too quickly, maybe my expectations were too high.Despite my disappointment with this book this has been a great series which I've read over the last two days.
What do You think about All That He Loves (2013)?
I liked the first volume better. The ending felt rushed in this one :-\
