Lola & the Millionaires: Part Two by Kathryn MoonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’d probably give this book 4.5 stars if I could.
Once again this book is written from multiple points of view, however the majority are from Lola’s POV.
This second part of the duet ramps up the peril and heat, with Lola being perused by her stalker. She goes away with Leo for the weekend and when she returns home finds her apartment has been broken into and her clothing destroyed. Unable to get through to Leo her instincts tell her to call Wes, the protector of the pack, and he comes running. This increased peril helps Lola decide to move in with the pack for a while, for her own safety.
I really liked how this book dealt with Lola’s emotional difficulties, the way she put herself down all the time and her fear of alphas. She instantly fell for Leo, a fellow beta and almost as fast for Rake, an omega, but the alphas had to work a bit harder to gain her trust. I was pleased to see that Lola finally decided to get some counselling, after avoiding it for over a year.
As a result of tackling her fears head on there are some quite emotional parts to the book. They handled deftly, but there are still things that could be triggering for people whose triggers are centred around sexual assault.
As Lola’s emotions and problems settle down more we are treated her increased closeness to all of the pack, which also includes the sexual encounters, which are recounted with relish by the author. As more people are included in the relationship the longer the sex scenes are!
We are also introduced to a deadly alpha hitwoman, Eve, who seems to be protective of Lola from the outset. I’m curious about her character and it wouldn’t surprise me if a book popped up about her in the future, because it seems to me that the author appeared to enjoy the character quite a lot. She didn’t need to play such a large role in this book for the impact she had. It would round out the series nicely too, having a book about an omega (Baby and The Late Night Howlers), a beta (Lola and the Millionaires) and followed up by a book about an alpha (Eve the psychopathic hitwoman). I think the title I made up could use some work, but I’m not an author.
This book definitely lives up to the first part of the duet and rounds it out perfectly. It’s a great emotional and spicy read.
