*this covers the entire series including bonus chapter 1*Anyone who has read my reviews before knows that I detest cliffhangers.  Serial romances aren’t my thing, but every once in a while a story comes along that intrigues me enough that I’m willing to give it a chance.  This is such a story. Also, knowing that she has finished the series was a major contributing factor to me actually reading it in first place.This series begins with Lily Ross, assistant to a VP who runs roughshod over her and which she privately calls Herr Klaus, is working late on a Friday night for little pay and even less appreciation.  Lily is a relatable heroine who is getting by, not sure what she wants, but with a good sense of humor and appealing outlook.  She is summoned down to the lobby by Connor, the billionaire hero, who sweeps her up into a hot and heavy affair that takes Lily straight into the fast lane.The GoodLily was likeable and it was very easy to get pulled in and I can see why she’d run off with Connor.  The obstacles they face were an interesting take on standard billionaire romance fare. The humor and the chemistry between the characters is not an easy thing to write - some have the knack and some don’t. Ms. Thorne has the knack.  I enjoyed the secondary characters, especially when they were used to knock some sense into Lily and Connor.The BadThey are both and Lily are frustrating but likeable characters.  The sex is very hot but because it’s a serial, it can be repetitive and I ended up skimming some of the later love scenes.The Bottom LineI was sucked in when the part 1 of the first volume was up for free on amazon, and much like a good drug dealer, Ms. Thorne gave me a taste and then sucked me in.  She had me ponying up some serious cash for the opportunity to read the entire series.  So, well played Ms. Thorne, well played.
