Enlightened End by Audrey Carlan
5.0
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.
