I love how Audrey ended the series! It was a wonderful ending to a wonderful series. I cried and laughed and just enjoyed the whole thing!
I was happy to see that she fixed a toxic relationship by making it healthy.
I would recommend any of the books Audrey writes to someone. And this series is no different!

Following along on this journey has been enlightening for a lack of better words. I could not picture a better conclusion for the series and these people. Audrey has taken us on a journey through something she is so passionate about, not just words, but the practice of yoga and in every other aspect of that, and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. Getting to see Grant and Luna come together and take that journey hand-in-hand was beautiful. You laugh, cry, feel joy, and every other emotion she is able to emote into the page throughout.
I remember when I got to read January before this crazy journey started and following along and watching the blossoming of Audrey’s story has been magical. Being able to be a part of it, even just on the other side of the pages has been an honor.

I opened this book with a mixture of happiness and sadness. The Lotus House series has been my favorite by Audrey Carlan so far, because of its genre-busting premise of introducing higher truths and mystical-based faith into the world of modern, sexy romance. IMHO, the results have been nothing less than brilliant. I've fallen in love with every new couple in the series, and knew I'd be a bit melancholy reading the last love story, between real estate tycoon Grant and yoga studio owner Luna.
Well, color me so completely wrong on the whole sadness thing. From start to finish, even through the angsty parts of the conflict, I devoured this story with a gigantic grin on my face. This book could not have represented the series better, down to the endearing humor, the colorful secondary characters, and best of all, the enforcement that if we look deep enough in ourselves, we can find the power to overcome our fears and love in ways we never thought possible.
While I thought this was going to be the lesson that Luna taught Grant, it was a glorious surprise to see Luna push out of her own comfort zones because of her growing love for him, as well. Both characters were rounded out in beautiful ways, and did so during a story that wound in all of the characters from the previous books in the series, for a closer on the world that left me supremely satisfied, along with a heart full of immense feels for everyone. While it was really hard to know there won't be any more of the Lotus House books, this love story was one of the very best series conclusions I've ever read. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Wow just Wow!!! What an amazing way to finish an amazing series. This book has all the feels and more. The love Luna and Grant who are complete opposites is so powerful that it literally jumps out at you from the pages. I really enjoyed this book, I laughed and I cried and cheered when Grant stood up to his Dad. The ended was amazing and a proper way to to end an amazing series. Thank you Audrey for writting such a feel good series, this series will go down as one of my all favorites.

Ein weiteres wundervolles Exemplar der Lotus-House-Reihe. Wie auch die bisherigen Teile hat mich auch dieser Band völlig fasziniert und mir Lust auf mehr gemacht. Mehr solche Bücher aber auch meine Neugierde für Yoga ist definitiv geweckt.
Wieder einmal mega tolle Charaktere und noch viel tollere Geschichte die sich in dem Buch verbergen.

Keeping this SPOILER FREE since this is the last book in this series. So happy with how this all ended up and my only nagging thing to say is I wanted a longer epilogue at the end.

I was not ready for this series to end. Audrey Carlan has created a beautiful world in the Lotus House Series and has sculptured a beautiful conclusion in Enlightened End. I was expecting a lot of conflict between Luna and Grant. After all, Grant's company is planning to destroy Lotus House, which Luna now owns. She storms into his company and makes a deal to spend time with Grant in exchange for showing him the beauty of Lotus House and its street.
Luna and Grant quickly form a beautiful bond, one built on attraction and respect. While there still is outside conflict, their relationship forms quickly and isn't too dramatic. I loved the appearances of the previous Lotus House couples, including a naked couples yoga session! Like all of Audrey Carlan's books, the chemistry between Luna and Grant is scorching. However, their love is sweet and beautiful too. Luna is firmly her own person and knows what she wants. She doesn't bow to the pressure of Grant's corporate world. Grant learns to juggle his corporate life and what truly makes him happy, which is Luna. This was such a satisfying end to a series that I really didn't want to end. Despite that, this was a good ending place and didn't drag the series past its natural conclusion like some series do. Honestly, I can see myself rereading this series when I need a moment of beauty and zen as well as some heat. Luna and Grant are both great and complexly created characters and it was a joy to watch them fall in love.

This one was one of my favorites in tge series. Lot of family stuff. I love Luna. She's one of my favorite characters from Lotus House. Grant comes into her life and she makes a huge impression on him, changing him in healthy ways, and bringing light into his life. He gets more than he thought possible with her by his side.
