Inked in Lies by Giana Darling
5.0
Okay hands down this is my favorite. The language of flowers? The deep love and devotion from both Lila and Nova… her patience as she waits for his love to develop into something more romantic?? THIS IS MY TOP TIER TYPE OF ROMANCE. All though I like the entire series, I would have kept reading even if I didn’t just to get to this book, its just… ugh! So good.
Nova is the most fleshed out of all of Darling’s heroes and I loved following his journey, but LILA??? Her quiet strength is seriously regal, and it kills me that it took him so long to pull his head out of his ass and accept that they were meant to be LOL. Lila is a gentle soul, but NOT A CHUMP and I love the way she sticks up for herself while acknowledging her feelings. She follows her heart and refuses to apologize for it.
Lastly- I think there was a missed opportunity here for a couple’s boudoir shoot, considering both Lila and Nova are sort of internet influencers. Bonus epilogue anyone?
