As an adult, he’s eager to control every aspect of his own life. Women and building his business empire were only the beginning of Wade’s obsessions…until he fell in love.
Evelyn Banks’ life has been turned around, and she has Wade to thank…
Wade is walking a tightrope to hell, and Evelyn is determined to pull him out, just like he has done for her. With Evelyn’s help, Wade starts to forget his past, but luck doesn’t seem to be on their side. Just when their relationship is stronger than ever, one deeply buried secret is exposed and may be more than their bond can bear.
A twisted obsession is not the only hidden part of Mr. Park’s life…
When dark family skeletons come out of the shadows, it’s sink or swim. There’s a part of his past that Wade isn’t telling, and when it comes to a head, his future with Evelyn is uncertain, and her life is on the line.
With ominous threats closer than they realize, Evelyn might find herself lost in something deeper and far more dangerous than Mr. Parks…

Wade couldn't let Evey go ever he needed her like he needed his next breathe but he needed to sort out his head his past was running at him an he hated it it was crashing into the life he had with Evey an this just mad him mad he wanted to protect her from his past an hers an he was doin a good job until a certain few people wanted to mess with him but once Evey knew how to get his attention again after havin a few weeks apart he couldn't keep her away they still had to sort out a lot but they were goin to do this together well at least try

After 4 months of waiting, Lost in Mr.Parks was finally released yesterday. *happydance* After that cliffhanger in the second book, I wanted to slam my iPad against the wall! I was eager to get my hands on it ASAP so I basically read it in one sitting. I just couldn't stop! Whenever I find a book, or series for that matter, with damaged, hot rich CEO I just can't help myself :) I think you can call it a Christian Grey syndrome. Let's just say you never completely recover from it :) With that said, let me just quickly write what I thought about this one. First and foremost, Lilly James is a very talented writer. Simple as that. This final book is definitely my favorite one in the series. When I first started reading this series, I really thought this is another alpha billionaire book with some naive poor little heroine, but NO, NO... not at all. Wade Parks is yummy, smart and you won't find anyone like him. Lilly developed complex characters, and even if you read similar stories before, this one just has something special about it. I can't think of any single thing I didn't like, it was just that good. I don't want to revel too much so I will simply say - read it!
This was a wonderful conclusion to the series, and I hope Lilly already has something good for us readers in the future!
IT’s HERE!! It’s release day! Lost in Mr. Parks is out now!! I just want to say a HUGGEE thank you for your kind messages already, your kind words and reviews. I read each and every one of them and I want to thank you, it means a hell of a lot to me :) I hope you all enjoy the last book of The Parks Series. It is definitely a bitter sweet moment for me, and I’m sure for many of you, too :) I miss them already ha ha. I hope you love the book just as much as I do. Lost in Mr. Parks is another rollercoaster journey of emotions, and some scenes were extremely hard for me to write. I cried, laughed and cried some more with this book, and I hope you do the same ;) Thank you so much for waiting patiently for this book, I hope I made it worth it <3
P.S you get Wade's POV in this book too ;) We all need to know what goes on in that sexy, alpha mans head!!
I hate to not give this 5 Stars, but as much as I want to do that I also wanted to punch Wade Parks in the freaking balls more than once!!
I have been very lucky to have been approached by Lilly James before the release of the first book in this series and got a chance to review and arc copy of all three books. The icing on the cake is that I got to meet The Wade Parks and all that comes along with him. I have said before that he ranks right up there with my favorite alpha males and this installment proved he was who I have come to love. I have been waiting almost a year for this book and it so bittersweet.
Just so you understand this is the Wade Parks that only Evey gets to see and what an amazing male -
The final installment in this trilogy starts off with the bang of Wade walking away from Evey. The intent is that it is to give him time to work on his own issues, but what I struggle with is that it is obvious that these two only work as a whole. What one lacks the other steps up to help fill in the void and walking away from all that Evey brings to his life is a slap in the face. Evey knows this and the month away is a challenge she takes well holding onto all that positive steps she has made with the help of Wade. Those kicks to the balls I mentioned where in this course of the time apart and I can’t believe the restraint she was able to maintain during the separation.
“You deserve my love. And you have that. That’s what you deserve Wade; my love. Please take it.” “Fuck. I need to prove it to you. I need to earn your love.”
What you don’t expect is how the hiding past of The Parks family has come to destroy the only positive that has come to Wade’s life. I knew I didn’t like Tabby and as this story continues that feeling in the pit of my stomach grows bigger and bigger when it comes to here. It is just that I have so many questions each and every time she interacts with Evey and all the did that just happen moments make that feeling so much worst.
As family secrets begin to unfold………...Wade finally puts on his big boy pants and realizes that in order to finally face his past and move forward that it must be with Evey along his side. Once he comes to this understanding he not only wants to show Evey his love in the physical form that is scorching hot, but finally in the verbal format she craves.
“Princess, I am nothing without you. I need your presence to be able to breathe to be able to breathe. I need your existence to be able to exist. I need your beating heart next to mine. So yes, I want you to be my wife because I need you as my everything.”
The past and its hidden secrets are the one thing that could destroy what Evey and Wade have built. It is all those skeletons in the closet in the form of their family members and past lovers that just keep adding to the walking landmines. In order to be that united front finally letting go of the last of the buried secrets is what makes them the whole they need to be in order to have a future.
“I want to thank you for everything, Wade. You remind me to never forget what life is really about. You remind me to enjoy it, to embrace the now, and forget the past. But more importantly, you have given me something to live for. Us. Me and you. And our future together.”
The question that will be addressed is will that future they both deserve above all else finally be in their reach……..if anyone deserves this it would be Wade and Evey!!
I have to admit that this is a bittersweet moment for me, as I have come to love these two and hate to see an end to their journey. Thank you so much Lilly for giving me a chance to review all three books in exchange for an honest review.
What an emotional roller coaster of a series. Right from book one I was hooked. It was crazy intense and made me realize all kinds of things within myself (you can see my review on Goodreads). This is book 3 in the series and you won't want to miss this dramatic end to the series...
It will have you feeling angry, sad, excited, happy and tearful as well as giggling every now and then.
Wade Parks is an asshole. He is controlling, arrogant, selfish, rude and yet he is loving, sweet, possessive and passionate about those he loves. Can the love these two found withstand his family and her past? Can they find their way to each other without ruining each other in the process? Can Wade ever forgive his mother and can Eve Can the love these two found withstand his family and her past? Can they find their way to each other without ruining each other in the process? Can Wade ever forgive his mother and can Evelyn find love from her mother? Or will the one big secret in Wades past come out and end up risking Evelyn's life... Wade will never let anything harm her again but at what cost..
Gess you'll have to read to find out :)
Grab your copy or add it to your TBR and enter teh dark world of Wade Parks and get lost in him...Just like Evelyn did.
ps - There is a scene on a boat that will melt your heart like crazy! Let me knwo what you think of it. I loved it!

When I started the whirlwind that is Wade Parks I thought he was just another alpha Dom billionaire. That was so not was I read this man is like an unbreakable onion. He has layers of intensity and is and secrets that all make up a beautiful Parks. Many women try to peel them back but all it took was Evelyn Banks to start the process. Evelyn has grown more confident with herself image had me rooting for her. Some people might say that it is unhealthy them being together is a mistake but they couldn't be more wrong. I have enjoyed seeing this couple grow with one another. Yes, they are both messed up but, like Nia the shrink said that that two broken people can heal themselves together while working on their own issues. The twists are jaw dropping and I want to say that I knew something was off on her. I just did not think things would go to that extreme that last couple of chapters had me on edge. Can I just say to Harriet bravo and Clinton go F yourself that is all lol. Sad to see them go I hope we get to see a novella? Maybe in the future what do you say Ms. Lilly James? Thank you it was a pleasure to read about the couple that you created will be looking forward to your other books. ARC was provided by author in exchange of an honest review
Great series! I usually hate stories like there because they are so often and "seen before". This one is not. Characters are so special and have real personality. That is the "thing" that keeps you reading till the end. Great job Lilly James :)
This series was so addictive; I loved the whole Parks and Evey ride, not wanting it to ever end. The storyline is enthralling, taking you on an unforgettable journey of two loveable characters that are both battling daily to rid the demons from their childhoods. When alone, the battles to overcome the nightmares that still continue to torment their souls look bleak. The scars inflicted are simply too deep to erase mentally, but when united, Evey and Wade become each others shields giving each other the strength, courage and determination to fight.
The Parks series is, emotional, witty, sexy, and the sexual chemistry between Parks and Evey is off the scale. The series from beginning to end is pact with twists, turns, revelations, which all contribute to intensifying the read and delivering a great story.
I did guess the main twist, but in all honesty it didn't disappoint, it heightened my anxiety and had me screaming at the kindle needing to warn the character. I also thought the last few chapters heading towards the conclusion reflected the FSOG series, but being a massive Fifty fan, and how the author concludes Evey and Wade’s story, I thought it was a perfect ending to a wonderful series.
“At first I denied him. Then I was addicted to him. Now I am lost in him. And I don’t ever want to find a way back.”
The Parks Series captured my attention from book one. We went from learning Evelyn’s secrets in book one, then Wade’s skeletons were out for display in book two. Both broken human beings desperately seeking the very thing that they fear the most, love. Well love wasn’t that difficult especially when you mix their kind of lust and kink with it, but the love that requires trust, that was the main obstacle they will have to overcome.
I’m not going to sugar coat it here, I loved Wade in the first two books but he wore on my last nerve in the first half of this one. I have never wanted to slap two people more than I did with them. Wade Parks kept running, trying to solve his issues and their future alone, Evelyn kept going back, begging for him to let her in only to get rejected then turn angry and later go back again for another try. I will say that if this has been written like other books I probably wouldn’t have finished but Lilly James kept me invested with the additional plot issues regarding Wade’s family.
The more I learned about his family, the more understanding I gained for him and admiration for her to put up with his stubborn, sexy butt. I consider this a true talent of the author when they can take my biggest pet peeve in books and make it an addiction that refused to allow me to put the book down.
There are many important messages and hints that you are given throughout the story, I had a few things figured out before they happened but there were also some OMG moments that blew me away when it came to discovery of just what Wade had endured as a child. The very best part for me was Evelyn’s personality and strength. On paper there is no way she would be the perfect mate for the likes of wealthy, accomplished, sexy, alpha Wade Parks, but in reality she was just what he needed. Her mouth and spit fire attitude kept him on his toes, bringing to light that he might have to make some changes if he is going to keep this woman. While all of that was going on, she had the courage to acknowledge she would also need to make some changes of her own, the first being, thaw out the ice wall around her heart when it comes to others.
Overall this series was a hit for me, one that I will remember for a long time. It brought moments of enjoyment, tears, frustration and the plot never disappointed me. Evelyn and Wade became a major part of my day as I dived into their story, keeping me thinking about them as I was doing my daily chores or working at my job. When a book becomes a distraction for me in my daily life, I consider it a great read and each book in this series was exactly that for me.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review... and because I couldn't wait! (Thank you Lilly)
I have literally just finished reading the last page and am still reeling from everything that just happened. Trying to put all that I am feeling into words may be difficult but I will give it a good go.
I adored this whole series however Lost In Mr Parks has to be my favourite book so far. If I hadn't already been in love with Wade and Evey then this book would have been an absolute sucker punch to my heart, a heart that I now think Lilly owns! These two are their own worst enemies and each others lifelines all at once which in my opinion is the way any good relationship should be. The chemistry between them, well it jumps off the page and slaps you round the face. What they have is undeniably hot and raw and at the same fragile and beautiful. Their love had me falling in love, over and over again, with them and with their story. Don't get me wrong there were times where I wanted to slap some sense into both of them but I will forgive them, I think! Theirs is a story that will knock you off your feet as they try to open up and overcome their pasts together so they can be build their future and start living free of the burdens they both carry and threaten to destroy them.
Lost In Mr Parks, the story itself is complex, emotional and will have you sitting on the edge of your seat (while refusing to put it down!). Be prepared for the world around you for fall away and to be completely consumed by the sheer force that is Mr Parks! I let Lilly's world and writing engulf me, there is no other way to go through this book, her writing is raw and passionate. You will feel every emotion written on the pages and the way she sets a scene is beautiful and so easy to capture in your mind. Every one of her words feels like it has been seared jn to my brain because this is a book that I won't forget easily and has become one of my favourite reads and two of my favourite characters. It was so worth the wait to dive into this chapter of their story and if I'm honest I am a little gutted it's over but I'm left feeling complete like we have reached a natural end and that is a wonderful feeling to have when finishing a book.
Thank you Lilly for the chance to be a part of this highly emotionally and amazing journey! ❤❤
The last story in the series picks up from the traumatic ending in book 2. Evey and Wade have come so far in their relationship but have the secrets they’ve uncovered about each other damaged their future? There are many humorous moments in the opening chapters, as Evey tries to make Wade understand she wants him under any circumstances. Evey is a strong, vibrant character and in many ways, the dominant force their relationship, as she help’s Wade overcome his past. Glamour, heat and romance characterise Evey and Wade’s relationship but it’s the passion between them that remains the driving force of their relationship, illustrated with graphic, sensual love scenes. The plot has some unexpected twists, which threaten any chance of a happy ever after for Evey and Wade and a sinister presence follows the couple’s every move. There is good use of dramatic irony in this story; the reader knows who wants to ruin their lives but Evey and Wade remain ignorant. This builds the story‘s suspense and tension, to a shocking climax. Despite their emotional baggage and menacing outside interference, the ending is romantic and anything but dark. I received a copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review. Lilly James
I'm on the fence about this last book. On the one hand I absolutely loved it as I got to ride the Evey and Wade love train. On the other hand, there were quite a few annoying themes for me. The one was how naive Evey was, especially around Tabby. By the end of the story, I wanted to see a different, more grown up Evey, one who could take care of herself and be a strong woman. Yes, she was strong in that she overcame her demons, but I didn't really see growth in her. She was still shooting her mouth off and she was still allowing Wade to do everything for her - and I mean EVERYTHING. He cooked all her meals, he cleaned, he ran her bath, he bought all her clothes and laid them out for her and also even ... he really did it all. I would have liked to see Evey take a little control in every day life and give back a little to the man who adored her (besides sex). Come on, he was the CEO of 20-plus companies, where did he have time for all of this?
I cannot believe it came to this, but I skipped over a lot of the sex scenes as there were ... well, a lot! I know they used sex as a coping mechanism, but I got tired of the same old, same old. Every time Evey looked at Wade she had to clench her thighs, and went on and on about how beautiful he was - less is more!
Overall, I loved the series, I loved the twists and turns and the family dynamics. I would definitely recommend this trilogy.
Talking about a steamy, erotic romance, Lost in Mr. Parks was up to par. You will need to change your panties. I could not put the books down once I started reading them. Parks and Evelyn’s relationship has been a roller coaster ride. I loved reading all 3 of these books. You get caught up in their love story. I saw more of all the characters in this book. The way Clinton and Evey's mom would do, just took my breath away. Those are the some of the parts that drew me in. I mostly like the playfulness between Parks and Evey. She tested him all the time. Woman only dreams of a love like Parks. In this book what happens with Evey and Jasmine was the best part. I didn't expect it to happen the way it did. Every time it was going good something or someone happened to mess it up for them. Will their love with stand the biggest news of all though. Evey is just as determined as Parks, and I wondered how that would end. I can't wait to read more by Lilly James, this was my first, but will not be my last.
Some interesting use of adverbs, but once you get past that, the story itself, over the three books, of which this is the third, is sufficiently compelling to be an enjoyable read. The two main protagonists, though at opposite ends of the social spectrum and from different continents, find a connection, and have an undeniable sexual chemistry, but their interactions are often confrontational as they both struggle to overcome the emotional fallout of their dysfunctional families, and their issues with trust and commitment. Through misunderstandings, and outside influences that threaten to destroy them, their relationship navigates a rocky path, and when it finally seems that they may have a future together, traumatic events threaten the happiness they hoped for.
This series was amazing! Twists, turns, mystery, intrigue, heartbreaking scenarios and heartwarming love - I couldn't have asked for a better conclusion.
You might have mixed feelings about Wade before you get to this book, but believe me, you will fall head over heels in love with this dominant, broken man.
This whole series will keep you on the edge of your seat. For those of you who are familiar with this genre, think of it as Christian Grey meets Gideon Cross, meets Jesse Ward.
I highly recommend this series. Be warned. The books are quite lengthy but in the end, you'll be begging for more!
I loved this series. I've been up for days reading these books. I loved the couple. The man in this book is every women's dream. I wish he was real. The woman I loved that she was sassy and rude. She was a breathe of fresh air that .made it so interesting. This book is something I'll go ::) back and read again and have butterflies in my stomach. Great book.
What an amazing trilogy. Absolutely loved the whole series from start to finish. I want a Wade where can I get one??? Deffo to recommend this book and will read future releases from this author.
Just amazing how this author brought this wonderful story together. Two broken people and a similar past . This by far is one of the best series out there. Thanks Lily for a wonderful love story.
This author did a great job of wrapping everything up with this last book. You can tell that the characters have truly grown and the ending was perfect. Can't wait to read anything else this author puts out.
I have absolutely loved this series a real page turner ! Have proper book hangover now that there finished . Can't wait to read more from this author xxx
Rich handsome executive and single woman from dysfunctional family meet at work. He's the dominant type but she's okay with that. Some evil characters try to scuttle their romance, but if course it all works out.
As a conclusion this was okay. I won't say too much about the plot since it's the final book in a trilogy and I don't want to ruin anything.
The main thing I like about these books is the Britishness. Being English I appreciated the UK author sticking to her roots rather than conforming to Americanisms. It wasn't overdone, it felt authentic, as it should have coming from a British author.
As for the book, like with the others it drew mixed feelings. Something about this series has kept me reading and I can't complain considering I got them all free. However, there was also something that kept me at a distance and dragged the pace a little. I wanted to know how everything turned out for Evey and Parks, which was kept me going. Even though the story line was predictable and easy to figure out, and Parks was a little too controlling for my liking, I still needed to complete their story.
Overall, if you've read previous books in this series this book does give the closure you'll look for.
Eagerly awaited the last in this series and it did not disappoint. Wade Parks was a powerful and sexy character that met his match in Evey. Nothing about their relationship is conventional and neither is their backgrounds. Two troubled souls brought together with enough sparks to light a bonfire. The series was well written with a great mix of red hot scenes, razor wit, and strong storyline. I felt this book had more twists and turns, that kept me hooked until the end. A great finish in my opinion to a fantastic series. Thoroughly recommend!
