Essentialism is the third book in the Life.Destiny.Love series by LK Collins, and could be read as a stand alone, however I read books 1 - 3 back to back to get the whole story (Book 1 Fatalism; Book 2 Determinism).Bridgette and Troy first meet when he helps her move house. There is that instant spark between the two of them, that can't help but ignite into something more.Troy is FINE!! Sexy firefighter, who seems to have bit of a hero complex - not that that is a bad thing, but can get him into trouble!Bridgette is just starting out in her life and career. When she meets Troy, things definitely start to change for the better. Things start out truly platonic ~~ texting, innocent (or is it) flirting. But both realise things are never going to stay in the "friend zone" and things progress to the next levelBut secrets and lies (or lies by omission) tear them apart. They both have things in their past that are still causing troubles to this day.Add to the mix a psycho ex hell bent on keeping their partner, and we are taken on one hell of a ride.Can their feelings and attraction to each other be enough to get them their HEA?Uh uh, for that you are going to have to read for yourself.I really did love Bridge and Troy, both together and apart. They are both smart mouthed, funny, sexy. Love their text messaging, and when they do get together.. HOT HOT HOT!!! I mean tie me up, tie me down, burn up the sheets smokin hot!!I love that we get more of the characters from the first two book, Vincent and Alexa, Abel and Cara. This is such a tight knit group of family and friends and their lives interweave so much that it would not have felt right if we didn't get more of them.Probably the only thing that annoyed me about this book. Too much sex. I know, you are shocked, right? I love a steamy, sexy book as much as the next person, but I felt that in the case of Essentialism, it was a little bit too much. I felt like I was coming down with a case of "proximity honeymoon cystitis" and poor Bridgette would have been constantly walking bow legged!! But this could just be me!I have thoroughly enjoyed the Life. Destiny. Love series so far, and can't wait to get into the next couple of books!
