Four of my best friends and I started a journey five years ago not knowing where it would take us. We built an empire from the bottom up, and now we are successful businesswomen. But one thing has been missing: Love.
I'm Lily Blossom, one of the chemists in our company, ScentSations. I'm not like the others though. Being shy and socially awkward, I don't have a chance with Caleb Wentworth. What could he possibly ever see in me?
Caleb wormed his way in though, and I thought, maybe, I was wrong. It's why I believed him when he told me I was beautiful, believed him when he told me I was the one he desired. I fell in love with him...only to find out it was all a lie.
This novella can be read as a standalone from the others in the ScentSations Empire series and is intended for 18+.

Title: Lily
Author: Colbie Kay
Genre: Contemporary Romance
**RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
A group of authors are writing a book for one of the main characters from ScentSations. Five female characters who met in college and had a dream to start a perfume empire, and they have. Lily is one of the five and her role in the business is chemist. She and Dhal should be twins but they aren't. Her book is next.
I thought Lavender would be my favorite character because as a businesswoman she rocks purple hair and expensive leather pantsuits. But, Lily reminds me of myself. Nerdy, doesn't like going out, loves to read, HATES TO WEAR HEELS! Lol.
I love Colbie Kay. She is able to take a novella and bring characters to life. Her stories are complete. Usually I feel as things develop nicely we hit the top of the mountain only to hit bottom in like 1 second. Colbie Kay doesn't do that. Her stories are well rounded. Yes there was a little quickness to the end but it was ok. It didn't ruin the story.
I really loved Lily. Great job Colbie Kay.

I loved this book!! Lily is book #4 in the ScentSations Empire series and Colbie Kay has blown me away yet again!!
What I love the most about this series is that these ladies are best friends that built an empire together each with their own strengths and weaknesses!!
Lily is a chemist who is shy and awkward when Caleb starts to show interest in her she doesn't understand why!! The chemistry between them is hot and generated alot of sparks that really light the sheets on fire!! Just when you think that there is a HEA coming along comes the twist that caused me to drop a couple f-bombs and my blood pressure to rise!!
Each book can be read as a standalone or in order of you choose!! I highly recommend this book you will not be disappointed it's worth more than 5 stars in my opinion!!

Lily and Caleb are the next romantic adventure in the ScentSation Empire series .
Lily is smart sexy and oh so awkward. She spends her days in the lab creating magic with her combination of scents. She has no need to be out partying every night when she can stay home with her book boyfriends in the comfort of her lounge wear !!!
Caleb is the city's most eligible bachelor and his grandfather has been pushing him to settle down. That wouldn't be so hard if he could find a woman that interests him on every level. The moment that he lays eyes on the quirky Lily dancing in the lab he is intrigued . The pursuit is fierce but Lily is a hard nut to crack! Let the chase begin !! Loved them !!

I LOVE this series about the best friends who have made such a successful empire, and this is about Lily, the socially awkward chemist who works in their lab. She meets the playboy Caleb Wentworth, who shows an interest in her, and she can't figure out why, because she truly believes that he's way out of her league. Somehow, he gets past her barriers, and boy they have some serious sparks, and it actually leads to sexy times that light the sheets on fire! But there comes some drama that brings on the angst, with an f-bomb worthy twist. I couldn't get enough, and CANNOT WAIT for that last story! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lily is a shy chemist who makes different perfumes for the company she runs with her friends. She is shy and a book worm. Lives her life through her books until Caleb shows up in her lab. Everything in her life changes after that . Loved these two together. Opposites do attract. Got chemistry between these two once she finally gives him a chance. I love her writing and this one is top on my list. Enjoyable from beginning to end. Great story line great characters .

Lily was never the one to attract attention, unless you count from her nerdiness. She works in the lab, creating amazing scents for her company she owns with her best friends - Scentsations.
Caleb needs a wife so he can inherit his family company. He sets his sites on Lily.
Will they both find what they are looking for? One click today to find out.

Such a fun story with a just enough angst to keep it interesting.
I didn't realize it was part of a series but no worries it read just fine as a standalone. It gave me the perfect amount of backstory that now I want to read all the girls stories.

Wooooooo lily is book 4 in the ScentSations Empire series and honestly they just keep getting better and better as they go along! Each book is a stand alone however you really need to read them in order starting with Cinnamon which is book one.

This was a good book to read. I liked the characters and their chemistry. She was a chemist and he saw her in her lab and instantly fell in love with her.

This is the fourth story from the "ScentSations Series" and now it's Lily and Caleb turn. These people are both different and yet both the same. Caleb is a very dominant man and Lily, at first seems shy and awkward but once she lets her hair down, with the right person of course, which has never happened, only it did, with Caleb, well, these two are evenly matched in the bedroom and Caleb sure as hell enjoys his kitten ;)
Of course, like in every good story, there are some obstacles that need be fought and conquered, some secrets exposed and some groveling to begin but at the end, everything happens as it should and these two, Caleb and his Lily get their happy ending, together <3 :)
