All of these characters have their own issues and as it progresses you learn more and more about what secrets they've been keeping and the things that have driven them apart and kept them together.Īnd of course, Lilac is a love story. Lilac is also very much character driven, too.

And really, some of my favorite parts of this novel was the banter between all four of these characters, and most especially that Braxton knew how to get under their skin and did it so well. Lilac is a lengthy novel with all the conflict you'd imagine when you have three stubborn rock stars with their newest mouthy guitar player. This isn't some quick sexfest without much of a plot, except to get to the next sexy interlude (which honestly, is probably the wrong way to think of reverse 's just my pure ignorance and something I intend to read and learn more about so I don't come off as some romance reading snob). I was immediately intrigued-I love a good rock star romance but throw in the additions of some conflict that leads to romance.with all of them in the mix?! I was all in.Īs I was saying, this novel didn't fit the preconceived notions I had.

I'm going to confess that I thought that a reverse harem romance would be this free for all, raunchy, wham bam thank you ma'am sexstastic reading experience and I'm absolutely certain that there are those version of a reverse harems out there but Lilac isn't one of them. Reid, and of course, we couldn't pass it up. Lilac was an opportunity to try a new to me subgenre of romance, reverse harem, and a new to us author, B.B.
