Lily has

been born into wealth, and with that comes a certain responsibility. She has

been promised to Hail, who has just taken over Royal Industries along with his

brothers and cousins. The Royal family screams power and money and they’ll

destroy anyone who stands in their way of acquiring more.

Hail is

more forceful and unyielding than the preppy son of a greedy bastard Lily took

him for. Everything about him is dominant. When his eyes lock with hers sparks

fly instantly. Lily belongs to Hail and there’s nothing she can do but honor

her grandfather’s promise.

Just one

look at Lily and Hail is determined to own her in every way. He doesn’t want

her obedience just because she’s honoring a promise. He wants her obedience

because she craves to please him.

The force of nature might just be too much for the delicate Lily.

Lily is the second in the Force of Nature novellas by M. Horst and I will say this one was even more enjoyable than the first. It is one of those insta-love books, but seeing as how it’s short, and it is a fairy tale of sorts, it’s actually pretty appropriate for this series. And I’ll admit, once in awhile, a bit of love and sweetness just feels good with all of the other things going on nowadays.

Lily is supposed to marry Hail Royal because of a business deal her grandfather made. Not only is Hail Royal due a Flower female to wed and create his heirs, but Lily’s father is also happy about the monetary donation Royal will be making to his company. Of course, Lily is not thrilled, but even worse, her mother has her own company and has made a side deal to an arrogant, misogynistic, old, fat, pig of a man, Jasper Kingsley.a deal for her hand as well. Both men are invited to dinner.

Hail brings his brother Lake to the dinner because he’s interested in Lily’s sister, Rose, but before he can be properly introduced to Lily, Jasper muscles his way and gropes Lily, telling her that he can’t wait to own her and she’ll be on her knees and naked. Hail decides enough is enough when Jasper is groping her before the dinner rolls are even passed around, so they leave. The fireworks commence as they do, and then…Lily gets upset and the drama commences. Will Hail be able to rescue fair maiden from the evil clutches of the King(sley)? Will true love prevail? YOU will just have to get yourself a copy and find out!!!

Seriously, this was a fun read, and I really liked both Hail and Lily’s characters a lot. I’m positively chomping at the bit, (no, I’m not into pony play *snicker*) for Rose’s book. So far, I’m loving this series!
