My rating: 💋💋💋💋

I, Braxton Fawn, am the luckiest girl alive.
Or so the world keeps telling me.
Every so often, gods walk the earth. This time they came as musicians. When Bound loses its lead guitarist, yours truly is chosen to fill his shoes. From dive bars to the big stage, my instant claim to fame is nothing short of a fairytale. The only problem?
My new bandmates.
Jaded, gorgeous, and ridiculously talented—they’re determined to turn my dream into a nightmare. It’s no secret I wasn’t their first choice. I wasn’t even their last. The label wants a new image, Bound wants me gone, but I’ve got my own agenda.
To succeed I have to survive a world tour, public scrutiny, and idols turned enemies. But the biggest threat of all isn’t a meticulous frontman, a narcissistic bassist, and a drummer with too many secrets.
It’s me.
Somehow, I must resist the temptation of Houston Morrow, Loren James, and Jericho Noble.
It seemed easy enough when I boarded their tour bus, but it only took one city for the lines we’d drawn to blur.
Only ninety-nine more to go.

Lilac is a reverse harem romance and complete standalone.

"Lilac" is a Standalone Reverse Harem Romance by the best selling author BB Reid. Told in multiple perspectives , get ready to be BOUND!!

When I first Read Bebe's books , I'll admit , I absolutely went crazy!! Keiran is till date my favourite anti hero of all time and I don't think anyone can ever replace him. That being said , I am so disappointed to tell you people that That did this book was rather boring for me. I know how BB writes and maybe I set the bar too high with my expectations , but at one point I even considered leaving this one in the middle. It was missing that spark that BB's books contain and that is what bothered me the most. There were places where the book got interesting but it was just too contemporary for me. I expected something much more dark but had a tough time finding that darkness in this book.

I am pretty sure there are people who love contemporary and avoid dark Romance novels , and they are the ones who'll absolutely love this book , but for me , who is a dark Romance lover , this one just didn't sit right with me.

For the first thing being , that almost till the first 30% of the book , it seemed like things were being dragged too much. The characters had a chemistry and I felt that chemistry , but things were sort of dull between them. I found myself just hurrying up so that I could finish this book rather than wanting to savor it.

I really hoped that this book would be one of my top reads but it truly breaks me to say that it was absolutely not. The book was too long for no reason and I just couldn't connect with anyone. I really hope that you guys enjoy this book , but for me it was a bit too plain and not something that I expected from this author.
