Kensington Family #2

Lilly and Reed: A Kensington Family Novel

Rate this book
When Lilly went to college she didn’t expect to fall in love, but then she met Reed. Now, almost a year later, the two of them couldn’t be happier.

But their happiness comes at a price—a price Lilly may not be willing to pay if she knew what was really going on. For years, her family’s kept a secret from her, a secret that if told, could make Lilly question everything she’s ever believed in.

The time has come…she has to learn the truth. And with that truth comes another revelation. A plan has been set in motion that can’t be stopped.

Lilly has to make a decision. What she decides will determine her future, but also the future of her entire family. Will she make the right choice? Even if it means losing the boy she loves?

Note: This is the follow-up and conclusion to Lilly, book one in the story of Lilly Kensington, so read Lilly before reading Lilly and Reed.

4,5*
Ze wszystkich książek, które czytałam tej autorki, ta była najbardziej dynamiczna. Akcja praktycznie zaczęła się od pierwszych stron i nie ustępowała do samego końca. Katherine przeszła samą siebie w knuciach i intrygach, zrobiło się naprawdę niebezpieczni, że ciężko było znaleźć jakieś sensowne rozwiązanie tej całej sytuacji, aby Lilly nie cierpiała a jednocześnie nie stała się częścią organizacji. Trzeba przyznać, że plan był genialnie opracowany, jednak Katherine nie przewidziała, że mimo wszystko Pearce okaże się sprytniejszy. A zakończenie krótkie, ale słodkie. Ach, to naprawdę była niezła "jazda" Aż by się chciało takiego epilogu cztery lata później.

** 2 Stars ⭐⭐ **

I appreciated all the multiple POVs but the book was called Lilly and Reed and there was not much of them here. Thus, I expected more about THEM.

A fact that I could not believe it was how the author made her characters so dumb and oblivious to such obvious things happening. Ah, and the repetitions!!! It was like reading the same story over and over again. And I also found it quite selfish of them, and by them I mean Lilly's whole family, to try to separate her from Reed. Besides that, they all passed through similar situations and got their HEA so it was a hypocrisy.

I felt this book was more of a wrap-up in the Kensington's Family world than a Lilly and Reed book, however, I also thought that some things needed better clarification. So, I believe that Allie Everhart intended to continue this world but did not have the opportunity to properly finish it up.

P.S. The typo in the writing, some things that made no sense at all and a few inconsistencies annoyed me in all books from the Kensington's Family world.

I absolutely LOVED this book! It brought out all the feels. One minute I was so happy, then I'd be laughing, then crying, then sitting on the edge of my seat or angry. I really hope the Kensington family story continues. There is so much more that could be written about the family. I hope Allie continues to write about them. I want to know more about Conner, and I want to know what Katherine's smirk was towards the end of the book. Please write more the Kensingtons! I loved seeing Jade and Garret as parents. Garret was so funny interacting with his kids. I also loved Lilly and Reed's story. I would like to hear more of their povs. Maybe another book? Or books would be even better. I highly recommend this book or any books by Allie Everhart. I love her writing style and stories. She's one of my favorite authors.

Amazing same as all the Kensington series, amazing author, would really like to read more books In jade and garetts series,

Rachel and Pearce series and Lilly and reeds series, only disappointed that not so much sexual tension and build up with Lilly and reeds books, as with Rachel and Pearce and jade and garret, still awesome stories that keep you guessing and on edge, never wanted to stop reading couldn't put book down.

I started out with the Jade series and that's where I was introduced to the Kensington's. I had to keep reading with Pearce's story. I absolutely love this story so was thrilled when Lilly's story came out. I really hope Allie Everhart does another series with the Kensington's. Katherine hinted at something in this series about her son so I'm thinking that maybe there will be another book about that. I started Secrets Kept since it follows along with Moorhurst college.

So-so

I loved the jade series and the extra books about Pierce and Rachel. But I just couldn’t get into Reed and Lilly, they don’t have much of a relationship in this book and they’re just a little too naive. It made them rather annoying. I only finished it because I wanted to know what Pierce would have to do. And I have to say I really hope Conner isn’t a Kensington, poor pierce doesn’t deserve all that stress! That poor man needs a break! Haha.

READ IT! READ IT! READ IT!!!
GO READ THIS BOOK!!!!

It truly deserves more credit.

The plot....The storyline....the characters ....AMAZING.

I'm not one to finish all books in a continuous story but I wanted more.

I read Kingston left book 4 .... moved on to Jade then back to finish book 4 and wanted a little more, so finished off with Lilly.

Really support Allie Everhart and get these books.

I have a feeling this storyline isn't finished yet. Too many unanswered questions. Did William have something to do with Dean's death? What did the smug look on Katherine's face mean? Is Connor really Pearce's son? I have a feeling we'll find out in the next installment.

Loved it!!!!!

I'm sad to see this book ended, however; I think the author Allie should write about Connor. The reason why I say that is how the book ended.
She is an extraordinary writer!! I will
continue reading her books... 😊

Overall I've enjoyed this series- I think my favorite books as the ones with Pearce and Rachel but Garrett and Jade are likeable characters as well. Lilly and Reed served as a good continuation of the series.
I'm curious to see if or how this author continues the series.

Really enjoyed the book.

I totally enjoyed reading the lilly and Reed saga.. It was a great spin off from the Pearce and Rachael books, and the Garrett and Jade series. The books kept my hooked and gripped for what was coming next.

I read The Jade series, the Kensington series and both Lilly’s books and it was a wonderful joyride. Only this last book seemed like it was in a hurry to finish. There are so many things unanswered. So unless there is another book coming I believe if this is the last book I am soooo disappointed.

5 Stars!!!!

Omigoodness…… I love how this ends so that you know there is possibility for more Kensington drama.

When Lilly and Reed end their first year at college they are looking forward to spending time with their families during the summer but also sad that they won’t see each other every day. They vow to make the time and effort to see one another as often as possible but they weren’t figuring that serious obstacles would be put in there way.

Lilly can tell that there are secrets that her family is not telling her and she is tired of being left in the dark. But with the truth out, now Lilly has to make a decision that will not only affect life for her future but that of her entire family.

I am hoping that there will be a book or books about Conner since I am certain there is something about him. I have an idea but I can’t figure out how it would play out.

I absolutely love this book. I thought "Lilly" was a good book but a little slower than "The Jade Series and Kensington Series " books. But Allie did a phenomenal job putting everything together. I hope she writes a 100 more books about this family. Truly a must read book and series!
