BEAUTIFUL BRILLIANT Ending!
What an ending! I went from a massive smile on my face to sadness not wanting to let go. The ending was beautiful, perfect and long over due and at times I was so conflicted as to the trio of men that all had a piece of Luna Rae's heart but just exactly who owned and had the most power over it was at times overwhelming and frustrating that make this twisted intense series brutal on my nerves and heart but completely well worth every twisted blindsided word. The steamy chemistry is eye popping and Yummy. The feels are gripping and at times are hard to shake as this story is filled with reflection, disappointment, heartache, rage, angst and a total transformation from dark to a beautiful swoon worthy HEA of letting your walls crumble all in the name of LOVE. A brilliantly written story and a mind blowing series with so many twists and turns that you just never know what the outcome will be and has earned every 5 Star with ease.

So good you don’t want it to end. Awesome HEA. Luna and Kian have both been waiting. Waiting for what? Love? Commitment? I absolutely loved this series. Each book brings you closer and closer to what Kian and Luna feel for each other, how they talk about it, and how they show it. It’s like a brick wall standing between them and they are both trying to break into it with a toothpick. They have to learn to trust each other, love each other, commit to each other and accept each other’s faults. Luna is young and doesn’t understand men or know what love is, so this entire series is her journey of finding love and Kian claiming the woman of his dreams. It’s a long time coming but the ending is positively amazing. Lovely.

This is the final book in the House of Lions series. The books must be read in order.

I just have to say, Luna ended up with the man I was rooting for! You can't go back through previous reviews and find out who that was because I changed my mind with every book! This story kept me captivated for all 11 books, I needed to see Luna have her happy ending. I was pleased with the growth we saw in all of the characters, not just Luna. Frankie is best friend goals. If you have a long weekend I highly recommend you start this series from book 1 and read them all in as few sittings as possible, because if you are like me you will NEED to know what happens next!

Really close to a 5, but just not quite there. Like a 4.99 and let me explain why.
Her ending up with the guy she does wasn't the surprise. The surprise/shock was the change he under went. It was almost as if a different book was being written at that point so it was a bit hard to reconcile the before and after.
Though Luna did have it right when she said that the family dynamic was going to be interesting!

[Brenda Moser · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the final book in the series and what an ending! The author once again brings strong characters and weaves an emotional story filled with drama and enough twists to keep you glued to the pages. She does a beautiful job bringing the story to a perfect close. I loved this book/series and would highly recommend reading.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

Excellent conclusion
This is a great conclusion, with the storytelling still so emotionally and carnally intense. The intrigues are finally unraveled between Rex, Luna, Baron and Kian, to discover how Luna will conclude her story.
I really liked that in this series, the first volume is so unpredictable that you cannot guess what can happen to the last volume of the story.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

An amazing conclusion! An amazing series! The House of Lions. 11 amazing episodes.
I loved Luna's tirade to Kian. Way to go girl! You told him like it is! All the characters showed such growth through the summer. It has been beautiful to watch. A beautiful ride though their lives. I loved the dresses, shoes, desserts! Homes, balloon ride, parties. Oh, to be rich!

I voluntarily read and reviewed this as an ARC
An epic conclusion to Luna Rae's journey through truly living life. Shayne Ford delivers all the emotion to melt my heart as we see the real Kian unveiled. Baron plays a huge role in making this couple face their biggest fear and take the risk they've been fighting from the beginning. I couldn't ask for a more swoon worthy ending.

[Kathleen Pall Clark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally!

I couldn't wait to read, what i knew was going to happen. But damn, does Kian wait for the end of the book to do it.These two main characters made the readers work for it, which is both frustrating, and entertaining. But now that we are here, i personally need more. Shayne never fails to deliver, so what about a Keeping Kian? He is so complex, this just can't be over.

[Karen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this series and the conclusion was beautiful. The series must be read in order to understand all the characters and their dynamics. The characters are developed, realistic, and undergo changes throughout the series. This engaging and entertaining series has concluded, or is Shayne going to expand on these wondrous characters. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

[Kristie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautifully written

I absolutely love this book!!! I have wanted them together from the beginning. I like how both Baron and Kian helped her to really see herself; and that Kian finally showed Luna how he really felt about her and their relationship. I love how well the romance between Luna and Kian wrapped itself up. This is one of the best series of books I have ever read.

[Vicki Stephens · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loving Luna is the final book in the House of Lions Series and completes the story of Luna, Baron, Kian, and Rex. Luna experiences personal growth within this series and finally decides who she loves in this last book. Shayne Ford has written an amazing ending to this fantastic series. I highly recommend this book and this enjoyable series.

[Bren · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm not sure if I'm tearfully happy at the conclusion of Luna's journey or sad that's it's over, but rest assured this series has been one helluva ride. If someone asked me to recommend a series my 1st thought would be the House Of Lions.

[Stacy Carr · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a read! Sad that this series is over but damn!! What a series it was, kept me hooked from the first book. Having a hard time with being patient for the next one to come out. A story that can be read over and over.

[Karin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Luna’s conclusion has finally come and she has also made her choice and I think she made the best one. This series has brought lots of ups and downs and what ifs along the way and definitely lots of sizzling moments

[Ystewart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing!!!!!

This series had me from Book 1 and I hated to see in end, but what an ending!!!! Shayne Ford you have delivered time and time again…..bravo!!!!

I’m waiting with bated breath for your next series! Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later!

[Joanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a roller coaster

Wow, what a roller coaster ride. I didn’t think that it would finally end. I’m happy with the ending but I would’ve like to see the relationship with Luna and Kian afterwards.???
Love it!!

[Karen bowers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent series and conclusion.. in the future, maybe conclude the stories of Rex and Baron?

[M · Rating 5 out of 5]

The characters are interesting, the books are well written and the story is very creative. I enjoyed the ups and downs and the drama. I enjoyed how the series ended. I knew who would win Luna's heart and it did not disappoint. This is a must read series!

[Gladys · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, OK. This is the final book in the House Of Lions series and you must read all these books and in order to get the complete story and have a complete understanding of everything. As Luna's draws to a close I have to say the ending left me a tiny bit surprised but mostly not. The storyline is filled with emotion, drama, tension and twists. You are quickly pulled back in and engulfed in this tumultuous tale that gives your heart a workout. I am posting a candid, volitional review.

Amazing Ending for Luna

Grateful to see the other side of Kian 😍 The chemistry between him & Luna is off the charts. It was heartfelt to read Kians confession in Italy & see them both understand the journey to grow. Thank you for another great read Shayne! Looking forward to the other Character's stories connected to this series.

[Debbie Stuck · Rating 5 out of 5]

Captivating

Wow! I was hooked from the first book in this series. I loved the characters, the story just pulled you so you couldn't stop reading. I hated to see it end
Thank you

Learning to Love the Storm

This was an addictive series, a must read. Kian was a storm that was worth going through. Luna learned how to love that storm. I hope we can have another series for Rex and Baron, even Frankie, Carlos, and Olivia. Yes that would be nice.

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the whole series

Well written,good characters, had me unable to put the books down once I started them. Was disappointed when they ended. I hope Rex 's story is next.

Loving Luna
By Shayne Ford
Main Characters: Luna Rae, Kian, Baron, and Rex
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
5 out of 5 stars
This is the 11th and final book in the House of Lions series. And what a wonderful ending it was. Luna Rae's story is about a young 20 something virgin who is not very worldly and has not figured out life yet and what it means to have a man love her. As the series progresses we see her maturing into a young beautiful woman trying to find her self-worth and figuring out her sexuality and just what Rex, his brother Kian and their stepfather Baron mean to her and what she means to each of them. I am so amazed at the way Shayne Ford can put so many feelings packed into one book, let alone every single book she writes. I love the three Jackson characters. They all have very redeemable and sexy characters. You can't help but root for each of the men as we go through Luna Rae's life and I am sure you will each have your preferred final boyfriend for her. I was very happy with the ending and would love to see more of the other two Jackson men's stories. Fantastic job! If you read just one, you will be hooked on her as an author.

Loving Luna: A Dark Billionaire Romance (HOUSE OF LIONS Book 11) by Shayne Ford. Finally, the missing pieces are fitting together, along with the complex relationships Luna has had through out her journey of self-discovery (not sure she is quite there yet still a work in progress). Not going to give away any spoilers but I was very happy with the ending (big smile on my face) even though getting to that point was a rough road for all. The authors’ writing style is so emotional and passionate; you feel the characters as you read the story. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it and author to others looking for engaging and emotional story, with passion, heat, and amazing characters. I was graciously given an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

[Rhonda Hicks · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG, Shayne, you've done it again!! After reading book ten, Baron, I was a bit worried about how things would play out and thought I had gotten everything wrong. Then we get 'Loving Luna' and we're back on the rollercoaster with Baron joining in. This is a powerful book and it was heartwarming to watch Luna come into herself and see how things fell into place. As she said, "Family gatherings should be interesting." I'm glad to see there will be more to this series than we'll get the stories of Frankie, Rex, and perhaps even Baron. This is a must-read y'all with a five-star rating!

[gwendolyn Robin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, this has been one hell of a ride. Shayne girl you did it. I'm really speechless. Luna Rae finally got it right. Baron I love You! Rex you have a place in my heart. Kian you are my everything. I don't know where to begin or where to end but we have evolved. If you haven't started to reading this series yet, what are you waiting for. You'll get drama, growth, steamy as all get out sexy sexy, clarity the whole shebang.

[Romance.Booktalk · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fantastic conclusion to this amazing series! I absolutely loved everything about this book and had no idea how it was all going to unfold, until the very end. I must say that even though the best man for Luna won in the end, I was secretly hoping for different outcome, but that’s because because I was secretly crushing on him. It would have to have nice to have seen him with a happy ending too. Maybe something to look forward to in the future…. 🤔

[Cheryl Drake johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed the ride that Luna, Kian, and Baron take us on an adventure that you cannot but enjoy. The very interesting storyline and the characters keep you turning pages. Romantic, crazy, dramatic, and lovable. I read an ARC via BookFunnel without obligation. I am volunteering an honest review.
