About the author

Elizabeth Lee

22 books892 followers
Born and raised in the middle of a Midwestern cornfield (not literally, that would be weird), I’ve spent my entire life imagining stories. Stories where the right guy always gets the right girl, first kisses are as magical as they are on the big screen and anything is completely possible if you believe.

Although this journey began years ago, it recently took on a whole new life. After years of devouring hundreds of Romance, YA and New Adult novels, I had an epiphany... I should write a book. And I did it!

If I’m not reading, writing, enjoying drinks with my amazing group of girlfriends or chasing around a sarcastically funny kid, I’m probably watching television shows that were created for teenagers, while my husband teases that I’m too old to watch them.

Part 1: Spend The Night I
Part 2: Spend The Night II
Part 3: Spend The Night III


In Spend The Night, part 1-2 event coordinator and hotel heiress Hannah Jane Wellesley had been searching for the mysterious stranger she had mind-blowing sex with at a masked ball.

Seven words to describe Hannah Jane Wellesley: OCD, focused, motivated, competitive, loyal, caring and smart.

Seven words to describe Trenton Crawford, Trent: Elusive, jaded, enigmatic, hot-cold, complex, commanding and charismatic.

 photo stn1 H2 BS by sb_zps9ptq6pfi.gif

Seven words to describe Carter Delevan: Charming, sweet, accommodating, patient, polite, secretive and focused.

Spend The Night, part 3 is the culmination of events brewing and keeping us guessing since part 1. Story offers the right blend of romance, smut, mystery, suspense, mystery, danger, intrigue. And the ending was perfection with an epilogue into their future.

Swoon-worthy hero! Off-the-charts sexual tensions! Steamy sex scenes! SuspensefulI’m highly recommending!

#SpendVol3_1

Truths, secrets, and lies are finally exposed and revealed in this final installment of Spend The Night: Episode 3. The ongoing saga of who will win Hannah’s heart...TRENT or CARTER is finally answered!! And the big question of who is HIM is finally known. So in this final episode all those questions that has been plaguing your mind on who is who, who is telling the truth, who is the stalker, who will she choose are FINALLY going to be known in this sexy suspenseful episode.

As truths are slowly revealed, readers are treated to a sexy romantic suspense that packs a punch. Ms. Lee didn’t give us your standard romance of prince charming or a knight in shining armor but she gave us a story with layers of steam, suspense, and drama. She kept her readers constantly guessing and that’s what really drawn me to the storyline and writing. Did I figure out HIM is? Well, my initial suspicion on who is HIM was right. All I can say is go read Spend The Night Serial because they were simply a fun, sexy, thrilling, and exciting read.I can't wait to read more of books from Elizabeth Lee. She has me addicted to her writing!!!

I can't fathom how much I adore this little mini series that had my heart palpating from the get go. Who knew so much can happened within a hotel alone. Yes, the whole series took place in the WC Hotel.

Sex, suspense, mystery and.... murder!

The players include:

Hannah, heiress of WC Hotel, live her whole life working towards the COO position. She is adamant to find out her mysterious mask lover from the Gala night. Meanwhile, she was courted by the new residential hot chef, Carter and her first love, Trent is back in town. Add into the mix is a creepy stalker is out to get her. Holy goodness, this woman can't catch a break.

Trent, is the other heir of the WC partnership. His sudden reappearance back into the hotel raise a lot of question. Why is he back? What is his ulterior motive beside wanted to also get the COO position. And his hot and cold treatment to Hannah is infuriating! What an asshole. I wanted to kidney-punched him numerous times. But I can't deny the fact that he is the hottest guy in the book. So I shall reserve judgement on him since he is being all secretive.

Carter, the new residential hot chef. This nice guy is all gentlemanly and everything Hannah wish for. And what's even better is Hannah is quite sure he is her mystery mask lover with all his innuendo and hints. But is Carter really who he is? Sometimes things just seems too good to be true, eh.

Him, the creepy stalker. His POV begin with lust and possessiveness and then turned into total creepy. What does he want with Hannah? And who the hell is he?!

I thought this book is some light reading until someone is dead and I was suddenly taking this drama seriously. Book 1 lay on some groundwork on the player and oh Trent really had my panty melting with his enigmatic presence. Then Book 2 started getting crazy with all these suspense and non-answer. I need to know what the fuck is going on. In Book 3 we finally get all the answer about Trent's reason for coming back, what is Carter's motive and who the hell is the creepy stalker.

By the way, when I got to the ending about a spin off with Detective Leasak, I was over the moon because he is coming back to have a stake out at the hotel! Woah! More shenanigans ensue in the same location. Woot woot!

I KNEW IT! Finally some confirmation about who this mystery HIM is! I had my suspicions as to who He was and let me tell you, I'm so glad it turned out to be him. He was a total douche.
This series was surprisingly good with just enough romance, sexiness and suspense to keep you interested and wanting more. Who doesn't love a Happily Ever After?!

This author's work is new to me, but if you can overlook all of the spelling typos, it's a pretty entertaining story. Trying to solve who the mystery man was in the stairwell kept me glued to reading on about Hannah's dysfunctional personal life. I had an idea of who Mr. Tall, Dark, and steamy was from Book One, and I DID NOT want it to be him! (Yeah, I didn't get my wish).

If you're looking for a light, quick read with intrigue and some sexy scenes, then this is a great series! Just a warning: the h was selfish (even more so in this book than the prior books), lust-crazy, and created a messy relationship triangle all because she let her libido and adolescent fantasies guide her way. Also, Trent continually played "fetch" with her throughout the first two books until about 75% of this book. He'd tantalize the h with lusty words and smooth moves, only to physically and emotionally withdraw, sending the h into a tailspin Every Single Time! Not to mention that the H was engaged to someone else the whole time???? Yep, he's one of those! Of course Hannah kept coming back for more and I enjoyed observing all of that foolery, truth be told, but she was a total patsy most of the time! Her behavior and reactions became all too predictable and a bit annoying after a while and I got a little bored of that in this book. I thought that Trent deserved to grovel for an entire lifetime, but Hannah was in a rush to seal her life with him. The epilogue was sweet and a bit humorous, a good ending for two people who desperately wanted to be with each other.

I just love these serials. No joke, every time I am left with a book hangover and that doesn't happen often. I read a lot of fantastic books, but I just Loved this serial.
It was hot and suspenseful. I was on the edge of my seat trying not to scream at some parts! This was the perfect conclusion and just when you think you have it all figured out, you are hit with something else. Easily a 5 star read. I cannot wait to see more of this side of Elizabeth Lee, it's a good style for her.

This totally addictive story finds its conclusion in episode 3 of the Spend the Night serial. Elizabeth Lee brought Hannah’s story to a close with just as much excitement and suspense as it began with. This episode was one dramatic reveal after another as we learned the fate of the hotel, discovered once and for all who “him” really is, and unmasked the man behind Hannah’s steamy encounter in the dark. Each of the characters begin to unravel as tensions rise and hearts are on the line. Elizabeth Lee kept me on the edge of my seat, hoping that my suspicions would prove to be true and Hannah would get the happily ever after she deserved.

Hannah, Trent, and Carter are all laid bare over the course of this novella. Elizabeth Lee delves deep and opens up wounds to shine light on each of these characters. I was shocked by some of the events that played out and the truths that were revealed as the story progressed. Just when I thought I couldn’t adore Hannah more, she proves herself to be an even bigger badass and I find myself wishing we could be best friends. The heat between Trent and Hannah burns hotter than ever before as their desperate attempts at staying away from each other continue to fail. Elizabeth allows us to see a fairly honest side of Trent that constantly had me swooning.

The way Elizabeth Lee brought this story to an end was absolutely fantastic! It was everything I hoped the end of this journey would be and then some. She continued to make me laugh and feel and lose myself in the colorful world she has created. With surprises around every corner, I loved how unpredictable Spend the Night was. The connections Elizabeth drew in this episode stunned me, while the emotions laced throughout this story consumed me. Elizabeth Lee has absolutely rocked this serial with its dramatic plotline, good pacing, complex characters, and overall vibrant energy. I hope we’ll be seeing these characters again as we move forward with the Hotel Collection because I miss them already!

I was dying to get my hands on the third and final installment of Hannah's story. The first two novellas sucked me in and made me half crazy trying to figure out what was going on. Who "Him" was. What would happen next. And, most importantly, how it would all end! After a particularly brutal cliffhanger in the second episode, I couldn't get to this one soon enough. I mean this quite literally. I received an ARC of this book one morning and was reading it during an early lunch the same day.

Now, I'm not going to run the risk of spoiling this book for you in any way shape or form. All I'm going to say is that the conclusion was sexy and full of heart-stopping moments. I wanted to cry when I had to go back to work because I hadn't finished the whole thing. I can't even lie, this book definitely gave me the willies and some cold chills a couple times. What I loved most was that it wasn't overly drawn out and there was some happy to be found when it was all said and done. So, so freaking good.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for writing such an incredible serial... and for doing it in a timeframe that was nothing short of perfect. The cliffhangers were rough, but the wait wasn't excruciating. I had just enough time to ponder what was going to happen next and try to work out the clues before the next episode was released. This is how a serial should be done! Amazing! If you're not reading this, you should be. And you'll have NO wait between installments!

I'm definitely looking forward to the continuation of The Hotel Collection in a new character story arc. Consider this my reservation for Do Not Disturb!

amazing serial!!!

Episode 3, the conclusion of the Spend the Night serial by Elizabeth Lee is everything I expected it to be after the first two episodes. It was thrilling, suspenseful, sexy and a fast page turner. I couldn't wait to see what was happening next! Elizabeth had me on my toes constantly - just when my heart would settle and relax, something else would happen and my heart would speed back up!

I really loved Hannah in this serial - she was a strong woman, dedicated and truthful to herself. I loved that she wasn't afraid to take a risk and was a bit of a smart a$$. She's my kind of girl!

Elizabeth - you sucked me in from the first episode and I loved every minute of it!

My Rating:

4.5

Favorite Quotes:

I didn’t know if I would ever love again and then… you happened. You saved me Hannah.

They must have another code of womanhood they followed in England. Where I was from, if you knew that another female had been harassed and kidnapped, you called the damn police.

My body was yearning for his touch and had my brain down for the count.


My Review:

The suspense and drama were cranked up for this installment and thankfully, all our questions were finally answered! I don’t know if my old cold heart can take any more serials, I just have a wee bit of a problem with patience and delayed gratification… meaning, I want to know, and I want to know it now! But this one was worth the wait… but then, Ms. Lee’s work always is!

I read this book in record time. Elizabeth puts the perfect end to the series. No matter who you're rooting for the book make its final judgment on who holds Hannah's heart. I know I was on the edge of my seat riding out the twists and turns that play out in this book. I know I got my way but I won't tell you who's team I'm on. This whole series is worth a read you won't be disappointed.

PS
There's another series on the way!!! -Fan girls out- I need Do Not Disturb!

The third and final episode in the Spend the Night trilogy had drama, action, suspense, and romance. My anticipation was put to rest when the identity of 'him' was finally revealed. I was not disappointed with this installment, nor with the other two. Elizabeth Lee can write a book, and I can't wait for more from the Wellesley-Crawford Hotel.

Spend The Night - Episode 3

Elizabeth Lee

5 stars

What a conclusion to this suspenseful romance serial. E.Lee pulls you in from the beginning and can't help but stay til the end.

Hannah is being stalked by Him and its becoming a very dangerous situation. I have wracked my brain through the whole series trying to decide who he is. Meanwhile, Hannah's relationship with Carter is still hanging in the balance and Trent's wedding had been called off. Hannah is still unsure of Trent and his motives. Maybe he's the one stalking her because he wants the hotel, maybe it's Carter, or maybe someone totally different.

I'm not going to spoil this for you because you will want to finish it for yourself. I will tell you this, it's chilling and intense. Ms. Lee didn't drag out the series just made it very interesting and hard to put down. I've read several serial series and this one tops them all! Thank you for such a wonderful series!!

Oh and by the way, there's more to come in The Hotel Collection. I can't wait to read more!

What an amazing end to this serial series! What a crazy ride! Spend The Night III does not disappoint. All of your questions will be answered. You will finally find out who "Him" is and I'm happy to say that he was exactly who I thought all along.

This is exactly why I love serial series'. Even though this book was short, it packed a punch. It had romance, intrigue, mystery, and suspense. This book had everything that I was looking for and more. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I had a few moments where I thought to myself, "Holy plot twist, I did not see that coming". I was holding my breath as we were getting closer to finding out the identity of "Him". Everything has been leading up to this. I had such a fun time trying to solve this mystery and I couldn't have been happier with the way things turned out.

If you've been thinking about checking out this series, now is the time to do it. I definitely recommend checking it out!

An exciting conclusion!

Oh Ms. Lee, you're sneaky!

Spend the Night wrapped up neatly. The mystery was solved -- I must say I should've listened to my gut but Ms. Lee still had me wondering. In this final installment there was even a bit of hair-raising suspense. I enjoyed the return of he logical, driven Hannah - seeing her think quickly on her felt to resolve a few sticky situations. And I was satisfied with how things shook out.

It might have been a bit too neat in its wrap-up but it was a compelling story. This was my first read from Ms. Lee and it won't be the last. I'm particularly eager to check out the next in the Hotel Collection.

Hannah’s life has been turned upside down. Her position at her family’s hotel is uncertain and now one of the men that she’s involved with may very well be a murderer.

She tries to navigate her way through the deception and nothing is as it seems. When passion turns into madness, should she believe her head or her heart?

Spend the Night is exactly what a serial should be! Elizabeth weaves a wicked amount of suspense and steamy sex into an intoxicating elixir that kept me on the edge of my sanity until the very end. Don’t miss a single episode…

This has been a series to keep one guessing and rethinking almost every turn. Carter and Trent are love interests of Hannah. Trent is getting married to someone else but is obsessed with Hannah. Hannah is still trying to develop a relationship with Carter but can't keep her hands off of Trent. She is being threated by a murderer. Who is it? The police are involved. A private investigator is involved. Who is it? What other lies are being told and twisted...Read this finale and get all the answers. Will Trent really take Hannah's career from her for money?

Loved this mystery and the ending..

A gripping finale that pleased me in every way! The man I thought was the man in the mask, WAS the man in the mask. But shit, there were some twists in this story. There's not much I can say without spoiling it, so I'll just say I'm glad to have stumbled across this series and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Every single twisted bit of it. And I'm glad Hannah got her fairytale ending... even if the beginning wasn't so perfect.

I read the entire series in one sitting. It keeps you guessing from the very beginning! We have a third person who has been present from the beginning, known as Hannah's stalker. Hannah finds danger in this book and she also gets the answers to her questions... Why Trent came back not her life and his true intentions. Hannah also finds her true love in this book.

A really, really great story and hope to read more about our couple in the next series!! A great read!

What an awesome conclusion to a great series!

It's hard to write a review without giving much away. So I'll just say I'm happy that my gut was right.

Read. These. Books.
If it's suspense so good, it doesn't just keep you on the edge of your seat but you can't see the turns and twists from a mile away, you know you need to read it.

I can't say this was my favorite series, but I did like it. It was sexy and mysterious, but it still didn't keep my attention the whole time. I found myself skimming paragraphs, which is something I rarely do.

Unknowingly, I figured out the mystery. I had myself convinced that it was too easy of a solution. Whatever.

4 stars to the series.
