About this ebook

The finale in Monica Murphy’s sexy contemporary romance series about three fiery and determined sisters with their own ideas about life and love
 
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 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. 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 the one I want to trust. But I’m not so sure I should. Maybe it’s worth the risk—what-ifs be damned. . . .

Ratings and reviews

Monica Murphy has done a beautiful job with the Fowler sisters series. Each story takes the reader into the mind of the two main characters. Taming Lily (Book3) is Lily and Max's story. At first I was not a big fan of the first person storytelling, I mean it takes some getting used to. Then I started to realize Ms. Murphy knew just what she was doing. It gives the chance to experience the story in Max and Lily's own words. This gives the reader a chance to learn what each individual was thinking at a specific moment. A genius way to capture the audience's attention. Lily is an interesting character. She displays a tough outer shell that land her in troubling situations but is really vulnerable, seeking acceptance and searching for someone to love her for herself. Max's attraction is to Lily is primal. She is his obsession in more ways than one. He wants to protect her from all but himself. But he has a secret that could destroy any relationship between him and Lily. Taming Lily is a dark sexy read that will leave emotions in a chaotic freefall. ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE!!!

Absolutely awesome!! Wonderfully written, super sexy, and filled with intrigue. This is a great story and the chemistry between Max and Lily is off the charts. Wild child Lily Fowler has always been the sister finding trouble, living life full out. Wanting to follow her own path and not follow in the rest of the families footsteps has left her a little lost. When she stumbles upon information that can possibly bring her family to it's knees both personally and professionally, Lily runs. Again. She's being watched though. Why, she's not sure but soon she and her watcher Max, are chatting and more. Can she trust him or does he have other motives???? This is one you don't want to miss. I highly recommend it.

Oh my! Another fantastic book by Monica Murphy. Steamy, sweet, and easy to get caught up in and hard to put down.
