Enlightened End by Audrey Carlan
5.0
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.
