I'm a self professed foul mouthed, book nerd who seeks world domination with her sinister side kick, evil minions, fatal depth dwelling felines, hell hound, and fanged lagoon creature.
Oh-Kay, so in reality...I'm a foul mouthed, wife, book nerd, mother of two children, two cats who refuse to leave our basement, a fluffy white ankle biter named Puff, and a carnival goldfish who has survived for two years. We are still seeking world domination - No Seriously, we are.
3.5 Stars. Story was interesting enough if a little overwrought. If I'd gotten the first book by itself, I would've been really annoyed. More than half the first book is Aidan dating (and having sex with) other people to try to find someone to marry and Lilli was also hooking up with another guy during that time. Also, the whole book/series could've used a good editor, typos and misused words were everywhere.
Ok I read the whole trilogy and decided to write one review. Book 3 was a mind blower and left me angry. Lorely is a dirty bleep bleep and the whole Iverson family borders on crazy. Lilly keeps forgiving Aiden and hell I'm not sure how much one woman can take. Overall the trilogy is excellent. I didn't give it a 5 star since book 3 made me angry with bs they put Aiden and Lilly through.
Enjoyable trilogy. Nice to read all the books without waiting. I loved how Aidan and Lilli fell in love. Wasn't to thrilled with the part of how Cole came to be. A little to far out of the norm for me
This was a fabulous read!! I am very happy that all three books were in this bundle. The characters in this book were well written and I could easily relate to them. The story of each character came together smoothly. I am very happy with the ending and looking ahead 10 years into the future so we are able to see how everyone's life ended up. I LOVED Aidan and Lilli's story. I also LOVED the edge of your seat situations that the characters find themselves into. This is a great read.
6/5* After soooo long, finally a series that makes me say, "WOW!" IT was excellent. loved the humour, loved the romance and loved the heartache. Aiden made me cry for him in bk3 airport scene. Viola made me laugh throughout, at her shameless remarks and so did Dixon. Aiden's jealousy and love for Lilli was awe-'awwww'-inspiring. ;) Comments on bk3 scared me into thinking that However, everything that Aiden and Lilli did was completely understandable, understanding and i loved the series <3 <3
Angst, drama, hilarity, romance and totally loveable characters. This series was an adventure from beginning to end. Characters were very well developed and easy to connect with. Great sense of humor flows throughout the series. The earthiness of this book is wonderful with characters that are believable. I was sad to realize I had finished and will miss these fun and courageous people. Will be adding Sadie Grubor to my favorite authors list!!
I agree this Trilogy was fabulous read. Aidan was a very sweet character and Lilli is a strong woman . The modern arrangement was a bit fairytale however all the ingredients for a steamy romance were available to keep readers awake. The other guys like Dixon, James and Oscar were quite entertaining and same goes for the ladies Elora, Celia and Phoebe . A series of dramas and surprises keeps the readers on toes. Proud parents with cute family with happily ever after. A true five stars rating.
I had read other stories about marriage arrangements but this one is on top. A really amazing story that will captivate your heart. You will laugh you a$$ off with this crazy gang... One click this because you will love it as much as I do.
Btw this is my first from this author and surely won't be the last.
Couldn't put it down!! I really felt the love and pain in the characters. I was very happy for the in-depth ending, you really don't get that in books and I loved it.
What about amazing series!!!! I couldn't read this series fast enough, and will probably have it on my mind for days to come. Sadie Grubor has a new fan.
Some of the things that happened in this book was just unnecessary. Overall I liked the author's style of writing. I will certainly read more books by this author.
These books were a great package deal. The characters get into some crazy situations that are completely out there. The love they all have is believable and touching. But some of the things that happen are laughable.
The first book was this great story about how clueless guys can be when it comes to love and it was really cute watching them fumble through it.
The second book gets a little crazy with everything that happens. But it is a pleasant experience through a life that the vast majority of us can't even begin to fathom.
The third book is the craziest of all. I wish this one was done a little different. It takes a very heavy topic and doesn't give it the credit it deserves.
Overall the characters are great and the world of power and money is something that while at times you wish you had it shows that it's not all it's cracked up to be.
I really enjoyed this book! I read for my escape from reality. So the "modern arrangement" is a little far fetched and a crazy scheme, but it really worked to tell a great story. I loved the characters, including all the secondary ones. We got to feel happy, sexy, angst, sadness, anger...so many emotions and it made for a very well rounded story. The very, very, very end kind of threw me for a loop and I wasn't thrilled with it, but it didn't take away from the whole story overall, I just kind of decided to ignore it. Aside from that, it was a great ride. I received this book during a contest on facebook and wanted to leave a review because I enjoyed it so much.
I enjoyed the trilogy very much, I basically ate the books but I won't lie that the whole Cole history, was a deal breaker for me. I didn't like it or saw the point. Maybe because of the whole thing was only explained in the last pages of the book, after the epilogue, it did show how wonderful Lilli was, but...I just can't. I'm sorry.
