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.

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.

Die Reihe war im Großen und Ganzen sehr angenehm zu lesen, sehr interessant fand ich auch die Einflüsse des Yoga und der Chakren, sodass ich Lust habe mich darüber hinaus damit auseinanderzusetzen. Für mich ist Frau Carlan in Band 4 wieder etwas abgedriftet, aber es geht hier um Band 7. Die Geschichte der Protagnisten mochte ich sehr gerne - beide waren sympathisch und die Entwicklung auf beiden Seiten war passend und toll. Man hat gesehen, wie zwei Menschen sich positiv beeinflussen können und wie jedes Problem gelöst werden kann, wenn der Anreiz groß genug ist.

The perfect ending to a truly inspiring series! Audrey has a way of drawing you in to her books and making the characters feel as though they're your friends. Luna Marigold receives an eviction notice on her beloved Lotus House and immediately goes in person to try and resolve the issue. Grant Winters is the perfect man for the job, since the reader can hate to love him. They make a deal to spend the next 6 months in each others shoes, which only brings them closer, with no resolve.
I adore this series, and nothing has ever made me want to try yoga before, but this has! The characters from the previous books in the series make several entertaining appearances in this book and I loved it from start to finish. My heart breaks that it's over, but I feel like everyone is left in a good place, I'll just need to revisit the series again and again.

The final book in the Lotus House series was my favorite. Luna Marigold owns and operates Lotus House. She and the neighboring businesses receive notice they are being evicted to build luxury condos. She goes to see Grant Winters the CEO of the company who own the property. She asks him to come see the businesses and learn how important they are to the community. He agrees if she will go on dates with him. They have an instant attraction. Luna is really good for Grant. Grant has a domineering father and his mother abandoned him when he was five years old. Grant tries to figure a way to continue the project that he has contracted but to keep the businesses. He comes up with an idea that his perfect for everyone. Then his live is turned upside down when he finds he has a sister. He sees his mother again. Luna helps ground him during this difficult time. They are a great couple who share great love. A great ending to a great series.
