Until Lilly by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
There are 2 things (after reading the first 3 books of this series) that I know for certain. First, the Mayson boys are all extremely virile and their love interests are fertile myrtles! Second, all of the women residing in this fictitious town are bat-$hit foxing crazy. Obviously the author has taken liberties in stretching what’s plausible and feeding stereotypes of sexually voracious single women. Nevertheless, I digress and will focus solely on the book review at hand…
“Until Lilly” was the book in this series I was most eager to read. However, thus far it’s the one I enjoyed the least. Both Cash and Lilly’s personalities came across as weak and insecure. I’m sure the author intended for Cash’s antics to come across as a sexy alpha male but they translated as more of a chauvinistic a$$hole. Even their “epilogue” scene which is intended to wrap up their story with a pretty little bow made me further dislike these characters. Lilly’s character is downright appalling. She faces several, very serious adversities but not once does she grow a backbone. Throughout the story she continues to allow the other characters to talk down to her. Their behavior was shockingly condescending and disrespectful. Blargh! Was she a grown woman or a seven-year-old naïve girl known for her fits of fancy??? To make matters worse I’ve sworn off alcohol for the next week so I had to in endure this book sober.
