Love is a war in which only the fearless may conquer. The loss of love is a test in survival.
Love. It’s such an understated word. It has the ability to grip you so hard you become completely consumed by it, and when it releases you, you find yourself on your knees. Lilly Parker has me on my knees and I cannot muster the will to stand.
Betrayal. It’s all the worse when it comes from those we love. The pain, that much more intense. The loss, that much more heart breaking. I took a chance on Theodore Ellis and I lost.
How hard is Theo willing to fight for the woman he loves? Can Lilly fight her demons, or will she push away the only man capable of facing them with her?
Conquered is the emotional, gritty second part of Lilly and Theo’s story.

I was fortunate to have read an early copy of this book and it absolutely blew me away. Remember CONQUERED is not a standalone, and must be read after BESIEGED. It is an absolutely fantastic continuation of Theo and Lilly’s story, filled with unexpected twists and turns and lots of heart-stopping emotion. Do not miss this one!
First, let me say that I love the cover which I find to be incredibly sexy. I imagine this is Lilly Parker. The characters of Lilly and Theo first got under my skin when I read Besieged and I felt every roller coater of emotion with these two throughout Conquered. Lilly can be extremely frustrating at times, but she is one tough cookie and really sticks to her guns no matter what happens. There were certain moments where I thought she was almost being too stubborn, but that is part of her appeal and also part of the drama and angst of this story.
The author write a fantastic and gritty male POV, which I love. My heart broke for Theo during this book as it is so obvious that Lilly is his one true love, but will he really do whatever it takes to get her to realize this? She lives so much in her head that even her friends have a tough time getting her to listen to reason. But there are so many twists in this story, and Lilly is faced with so much, that it is understandable why she acts the way she does.
Once once again I loved the cast of supporting characters and found them all to be quite endearing and very funny and protective of Theo and Lilly. And Theo…what a man! Total yumminess. My review does not do this book justice. Conquered is filled with scorching hot sex scenes, real dialogue, imperfect characters and pure emotion. It does NOT conclude Lilly and Theo’s story and there is another book in this trilogy. I can’t wait for Book 3! I need more Theo NOW!

were granted millions of pounds and a face that melts the underwear off
of any woman? Meet Theodore Ellis, the business man who parties like a
rock star, and has more women than he has room on his bed post to put
the notches.
Meet Lilly Parker. With a difficult past; Lilly is
cold, closed off and emotionally unavailable in every way. Don’t go
thinking she’s the sweet and innocent victim though, she plays the game
better than most men, and is the original use and abuse woman.
She’s
built her walls ten feet high and topped with razor wire, but Theo is
relentless in the face of a challenge and Lilly finds herself besieged
by him. Can he get in her pants? Or will the unsuspecting man whore go a
step further and finally tear down her walls? Unlikely.
This is
no hearts and flowers love story, it is a battle of wills as a woman
who trusts no-one denies a man who has never been denied.
Cue fireworks as female sass meets alpha male tenacity.
Besieged will make you laugh, fantasize and perhaps even shed a tear.
