Synopsis

Never agree to one night only with the grumpy boss.

I am perfectly content with my life. I have a loving (albeit nosy and interfering) family, a fulfilling career as an environmental engineer, and I enjoy living in my quirky hometown of Winter Falls.
But then Beckett Dempsey is appointed CEO at the company I work at. For reasons I cannot fathom to understand, Beckett believes that I am incompetent. He also thinks I should be at his beck and call twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week.

Unfortunately, Beckett is also the sexiest man I’ve ever met, and my body yearns for his. I will not give in to these ridiculous cravings, though. I know better than to mix business with pleasure.
But then Beckett suggests we burn off our chemistry together for Only One Time. I agree. Unbeknownst to me, he has plans to convince me for more.

Review

It is the end of a series, BUT there are many new characters, and I see that the author has already created a spinoff for Beckett’s sisters. There are four of them, and one of them has a crush on Lyric’s brother, Phoenix. I think that is going to be a fun story.

I have always liked Lilac. She is intelligent, no-nonsense, and always honest. She may not always get social cues, but she is a loyal sister. She has had her share of flings, but Beckett, her new boss, is something more. He is annoying and doesn’t quite know what to make of Lilac. Of course, everything he says or does is offensive to her, and I can’t blame her in the least. He basically says, without words, that she is incompetent and can’t do anything right. But that is her interpretation. Beckett just wants to spend time with her but can’t seem to come out and say so. Plus, there is that pesky “no dating coworkers” policy. It takes time, but he eventually overcomes the barrier to her heart.

I still love this quirky little town. The gossip girls (ladies), Ruby offering condoms to all the men dating her daughters, and the West sisters and their beaus make this town entertaining. I do love the zero carbon town where they do everything they can to save the environment. I think out of all of these books; Lilac has been my favorite. I think it is because she doesn’t resort to trickery or stunts to get by in life. She is very matter-of-fact regarding everyone and everything. I love that they call her Literal Lilac. As the story progressed, I enjoyed seeing Lilac and Beckett’s story unfold as their relationship moved forward. There are a few surprises near the end regarding Beckett, but they are good surprises.

I look forward to the spinoff series since I am sure we will learn more about Lilac and Beckett since the book ends with them together, but there are still several questions left in the air.

We give this book 5 paws up.
