The Ex

Rate this book
Lily Chambers' fiancé is cheating on her. With her sister. How terrible is that?

So now, the wedding is off, and Lily escapes to New York with her friend Jenny.

There, she meets Blake Dalton, and they have… fun.

Lily is ready to move on, but her ex won’t let her and begins to send texts and doesn’t stop calling.

He wants her back.

And he is going to get her back, but nobody suspects the extremes to which he will go.

But they’ll find out. Oh, boy, will they find out.

This is a happily ever after billionaire romance that’s exciting and fun. A story you should probably read right now.

This is a novella with an insta-lust-love situation between Lily and million/billionaire Blake. It’s a quick read with some smut and drama provided by her cheating fiancé and her evil sister, Violet.

Bottom Line- It was ok, there’s not much to it. I wish there was a bit of conflict with the relationship, but the only real drama comes at the end when the OM and sis show up. IMHO, it would’ve been more entertaining had they entered the story earlier. This is a series with the brothers, but I never lost.

Low energy and phoned in romance, and I don't think I've ever read a book with so many truly stupid characters.

The ex kidnaps the hero and doesn't even check the windows so H escapes.

Heroine finds out her sister was having sex with her fiancee and doesn't say anything to her parents. Plus after one kidnapping attempt she willingly walks into the lion's den.

Not enough sense to come out of the rain.

Turns out to be cute insta-LOVE w new man .
Upon discovering from her sister that she had been banging her fiance for a year,she jilts him running off w her bestie to NYC.She meets knight in shining suit Blake who intercepts an assault in progress.
He takes her V card that night and things move at light speed!
There is a kidnap of H,then the h...we learn some of the motivation for the cheating and the kidnap...its silly...and not fully explained... so disappointing on that front.ie..we.don't understand the fiance's motives.
The love story was sweet if one can appreciate mach drive!😂

Lily Chambers is desperate to get out of town after finding out her sister has been sleeping with her fiancee. The weddings off and Lily happens to meet Blake Dalton. Free to explore her chemistrywith Blake but what happens when they are no longer in each others site?

This was fun, a bit quick but entertaining. I would have liked it to be a bit longer.

Literally skimmed.
It sucks how much potential these books have. This second one was rather sloppy with main plots not fully wrapped up or with closure. SMH

Improbable and shallow

I don’t like giving negative reviews but I am frustrated with this book that could have been so much better. FMC finds out her sister and fiance had sex whilst she stayed a virgin. The next day (her wedding day) she runs away and that night, after being attacked at a night club, goes home with a stranger and has a one night stand. Two days later she’s talking about visiting a sex club with him. He’s talking about laying down his life for her. I dnf as it was ridiculous. No character development. No introspection. No emotion. If you told me it was AI I’d believe you.

Daltons book 2…

Lily is our FL, and she has a sister named Violet. The ML is Blake, and the couple meets at a bar/club. Lily has just found out that her fiancé has been banging her sister for the past year. And it’s now her wedding day…

I liked this one. But it’s still sort of an average read, hence three stars. It was fun but the part about the one person finding out they’re adopted, causes them to basically go postal, is just not realistic in any way. I know lots of adopted people, heck I’m adopted, and finding out doesn’t in any way turn you homicidal.

KU read, it was a four star until that stuff about adoption…

I hate leaving a bad review. But I really don't want you to waste your time. I'm unsure if this is a new author and will always applaud someone for trying . I couldn't do it, so take my hat off to those that have a go.

However??

This book is up there with one of the worst I've ever read. I can't believe it has been given 5 stars, but each to their own. I found the plot to be ridiculous, the writing style is that of a child and the characters are 2 dimensional. Thank goodness it's a short read... and free!! I'd have been fuming if I had paid for this.

Lily finds out at her bachelorette party from her sisters that she has been sleeping with her fiance. She leaves them on her wedding day, which is devastating. Leaving with her best friend, they decide to throw a party where she meets Blake and ultimately loses her virginity.

He's smitten and wants to keep her, but must convince her to give their relationship a chance. The story is lovely; I recommend reading it.

Uhhh a stretch

I give props to any author who completes a book. This book was a stretch to read. I get the live at first sight but this story moved too fast and had timeline issues. It was repetitive. The "thriller" parts were not too thrilling. It's a quick read but don't expect too much. Some eye rolling moments with how fast this relationship started and how well they were supposed to know each other, in just a couple days.

Has potential 2.5 *

The plot has potential but the author rushed everything. I couldn't get lost in the story because it read more like a summary with dialogue. When things were described it was bare bones and it came off boring.

Loved Blake’s & Lily’s love story💕💘💗

Loved this but i didn’t approve of Lily’s sister not getting what she deserved which is prison time imo.🤷🏻‍♀️I love Jami’s instalove romances, I’ll definitely read more of them.

Not bad although more character development would be better. It seems like everything was rushed.
