Book Review | Taming Lily by Monica Murphy

Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Emma Chase, and Maya Banks, the anticipated finale in New York Times bestselling author 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 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. . . .

Lily
had been the most interesting among the three Fowler sisters. That’s why I couldn’t
wait to get my hands on her book. Finally! I am going to get inside her brain,
and yes, she might get her happy ending just like her sisters.
But
first – Lily is nothing without trouble. Or that’s what I thought. Trouble
finds her, or she just doesn’t give a d*mn to what other people might think of
her. She gives the paparazzi something to look forward to.
This
time, her kind of trouble might be something serious. Especially since she
taunted Pilar before running away. This time, she made sure no one knew where
she is, even her sisters. She enjoys her vacation time under the sun in Hawaii.
No press, no troubles, no one knew her and she was loving every single moment
of it. Until she notices someone was watching her.
He
was hard not to notice. He’s sexy, gorgeous and her knight and shining armor.
Who would blame her if she bares her soul to him? It was seemed he understood her.
But she had to remind herself that this was just temporary. When she goes back,
she needs to face reality. Orrrrr – reality can wait a little bit. Because Max
brought out something in her that she wants to explore. It was complicated, it
was intense, it was dangerous, it was trouble. But she is Lily Fowler, and
trouble is her middle name.
But
he was not what she expected him to be. When she wakes up not finding him, she
returns home and faces her problem. She wanted to spill, she wanted to tell
someone, but she was afraid no one would believe her. She wanted to tell Max,
but she wasn’t too sure if he was worth to trust. After the way he left her…
Among
the three, I must say this one is my favorite. I get to know the complicated
Lily, what is inside her head, why is she acting that way and how she finally
stood still and fought. She can be vulnerable (unbelievable, right?), but Lily
is a strong woman. And Pilar, OMG. Finally, she got what she deserves (although
I think she deserves more than that – I totally hate her). She’s off the charts
devious and I can’t believe she resorted to that kind of thing.
The
support Lily got from her sisters was overwhelming, that includes their men as
well. Their father did something surprising too. Family will always be family. No
matter what you did in the past, whatever it was, when you ask for help – they’re
the ones who would never disappoint you.
Its
one ultimate package: romance, lies, deceit, blackmail, and a whole lot of
steaaaaaamy scenes that will have you squirming in your bed.

Book Review | Stealing Rose by Monica Murphy

Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Emma Chase—the second novel in New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy’s sizzling series about three powerhouse sisters and the men who would have their hearts.
People say the youngest child has it easy, but nothing can be further from the truth. Unlike my two sisters, Violet and Lily, I’m never in the limelight. I just work my butt off for Fleur Cosmetics and get little to no thanks for it. I’ve been pushed too far one too many times, and I’m finally brave enough to do something about it.
Maybe my newfound courage has something to do with the amazing pink and white diamond necklace I wear to the party in Cannes. The instant those dazzling heirloom jewels touch my skin, they excite some deep, aching need inside. And when that guy—that totally gorgeous guy—locks eyes with me, I know this nice girl is going to be naughty.
For once it’s my turn. My turn to say no to my father, to outshine my sisters, to walk away from it all—straight into the arms of a mysterious stranger. But what if Caden is much more than I bargained for? Sure, he makes me feel sexy and free in a way I never have before, but there’s something else I can’t quite place—something dangerous. Maybe our “chance” meeting wasn’t so random. Maybe he was looking for me for a reason. Whatever his motive, there’s no going back now.
And maybe I don’t want to.

The love of a good woman can change... everything.
Change is the only permanent thing in the world, and I always
believe that there is good even in the worst kind of person.
Rose had always been the ‘good daughter’, the one who can’t
do any harm, the one they can always depend on – and she was freakin’ tired of
it. She was tired of being the wallflower, of being underappreciated, of having
that position in the company because of her last name. She wanted to be just like Lily. She wanted to
be free, she wanted out of the Fleur Cosmetics, she didn’t want to see her
father parading Pilar or the latter with the smug on her face.

It started with a dress in a party in Cannes, she wanted
to show her defiance in a not-so-subtle way. Then her grandmother gave her THE
NECKLACE she thought would go to Lily, the eldest. Then there was this guy…
This guy who made her threw cautions into the wind. The
one who made her feel that she was special, that she was more than her sisters,
that she was something important. But is there more to him that what meets the
eye?
Their chemistry was exploding all over the pages. It
lingered until the very last page. It’s uber-hot, sinful and much steamier
compared to the first book. It had more, more, more sex. They couldn’t get
their hands off each other, it was like they we’re doing it on every single page
(Not that I’m complaining). The air of mystery that surrounds Caden’s identity
just added spice to the whole book. It
felt a little familiar considering what Ryder did in the first book: deceit and
all that, nevertheless it didn’t make me love the book less.
I’m going to insert the big BUT somewhere here – because I
fell in love with the first book, and I was looking forward for the
continuation of it in the second book. I wanted to know more what happened to
their father and Pilar. The situation in Owning Violet had me hanging, I was
looking forward in reading Stealing Rose in hopes that I could finally watch
Pilar being escorted out of the building, but to no avail. There was a mention
of them, and how Pilar was luring her father – but not more. Much to my
disappointment. And there’s this safe-sex issue which had me shaking my head:
OMG – are you two in high school?! Do you need to have another lecture about
the birds and the bees?
To end, I like the book. I finished it in one sitting. I
admire Caden’s owning up to his mistakes, admitting it and willing to accept
the consequences of what he did. It was a little heartbreaking, but I love what
she did at the ending. I can’t wait for
Lily’s story!!!

Violet Fowler is the good sister. She works hard at her family’s cosmetics company, is faithful to her boyfriend and never causes any trouble. Until Zachary disappoints her yet again with a promotion that will take him to London—and away from her. His leaving sets a new fire within her. What’s the point in being so good when no one else ever is?
Someone within Fleur Cosmetics wants that London promotion and will do anything to get it, including throwing temptation in the path of the not-so-faithful Zachary. Ryder McKay came from nothing and has fought every step of the way to his position at Fleur. And now the mysterious charmer has set his sights on Violet. If it worked for Zachary, it could work for him.

Four Years Later by Monica Murphy - Release Day Launch, Giveaway
New Adult bestselling author Monica Murphy winds up her sensational series with this sexy story of two college kids with nothing in common but a bunch of baggage and a burning attraction.
Over. That about sums up everything in my life. Suspended from my college football team and forced to cut back my hours at The District bar because of my crappy grades, I can’t keep turning to my sister, Fable, and her pro-football playing husband, Drew, to bail me out. I just can’t seem to find my own way. Weed and sex are irresistible temptations—and it’s messed up that I secretly hand over money to our junkie mom. A tutor is the last thing I want right now—until I get a look at her.
Chelsea is not my type at all. She’s smart and totally shy. I’m pretty sure she’s even a virgin. But when she gives me the once over with those piercing blue eyes, I’m really over. But in a different way. I won’t deny her ass is killer, but it’s her brain and the way she seems to crave love—like no one’s ever given her any—that make me want her more than any girl I’ve ever met. But what would someone as seemingly together as her ever see in a screwed up guy like me?
