I wrote this review in February 2015.
I hated for this to end. Can’t wait to read Georgie’s story!
This is a hard book for me to review. I’ve read the entire series and loved it. Since I read them all, one right after the other, it’s a bit difficult to separate one episode from the other.
In this, the final episode for Lizzy, the connection to the BID: Rae series is the strongest but you still don’t have to have read Rae to enjoy this.
Theo and Lizzy are reunited and then, once again, torn apart. We also get a glimpse into Georgie’s past and the stage is set for her books; just enough to make me crave more. Wulf shows his strong sense of obligation to his friend Lizzy which kind of drives Theo wild at times. This episode kept me on pins and needles until I finished it.
There are so many twists and turns in this series that you want to keep reading so you can learn how it all wraps up. Blair Babylon is a master storyteller. The connection between the various BID series is strong and yet they also work fine as standalone series.
This was a very satisfying conclusion to a great series!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Billionaires in Disguise: Lizzy is a brilliantly fantastic thrill ride that will have you holding your heart and soul in your hands the entire time. There is a precious vulnerability that lends more strength and resilience to these marvelous characters than you could ever imagine. What you have in your hands is more than just a story about fighting for who you are, what you want, and what you need, it’s an anthem to those who have been beaten down or twisted around that we are not the images that others have made us into. We are more than just a reflection of the dreams of others. Instead, we are our own individual who will rise above our past and present to walk amidst the clouds of fantasies long crushed by monsters. We are so much more than even we realize. We are life, love, and light to those lives we touch deeply and irrevocably.
Lizzy has reshaped and molded her life into one that she had become proud of. She is independent, she is strong, and she is in control of her future. When she meets Theo, she is intrigued by this man of beauty, shadow, and wonder. When her worse fears are preyed upon, she frantically seeks the shelter of one who claims to be able to reinforce her steel walls. Instead, she finds that she finds herself falling into an abyss even darker than the one that envelopes her past. She can’t see beyond the shadows that hold her captive of the dangers that lie patiently in wait to devour her whole. At her darkest moment, her own personal hero steps in to do what he can to help relieve her pain. Ignoring the high cost of his actions, Theo refuses to just stand by and let Lizzy fade away. Will Lizzy take hold of the hand that is desperately waiting to take her to safety and lead her into a future that she has never allowed herself to dare dream of, or will she stubbornly refuse to take any shortcuts in order to achieve the goals she has set before her?
I had always wondered about Lizzy as I read through Georgie and Xan’s story, and now I see that there is so much more to this wondrously spirited woman. She is a beautiful phenomenon that made me love her from the very beginning. My heart ached at how I completely understood her and her way of thinking. She made sense to me, and yet I yelled and screamed at her when she passed up a breathless opportunity when she walked away from Theo. I understood why she did it, but I still hoped that she would come to her senses before it was too late. Theo was so much more than I ever imagined. He was an incredible puzzle wrapped in a haunting mystery that made my breath catch in my throat and my heart skip a few beats when the pieces finally fell into place. Fear was never an emotion that I associated with him because he such an all-consuming love and concern for Lizzy above all else. He needed her just as much if not more than she needed him. They were the rock that steadied and buoyed the other. They complimented each other beyond perfectly to the point of finally allowing both of them to open and blossom like never before.
Blair Babylon is an extraordinary artist whose masterpieces live and thrive within my heart and soul. She is a master poet who makes my soul sing and exult the praises of boundless hope and life sustaining love. She has captured a part of my soul that no one else will ever be able to claim. Reading one of her books is like coming home to a place where you belong with no strings, no conditions, and no doubts.
I waited anxiously for this last episode to see what would happen with Lizzy, Theo and Mannix. Blaire did not disappoint. There are more twists and turns on this roller coaster ride, so hold on tight. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but you definitely do NOT want to miss this one. I love the way Lizzy came back to her sassy self and how she ended up taking control of things. There were some really intense moments between Theo and Lizzy once he admitted to himself that he couldn’t just let her go, that he was going to have to go after her when he finished what he was working on. But to his surprise, she was involved in the same “project” that he found himself on and he staked his claim. We finally get to see more of Wulf and Rae in this book and get to attend their wedding. Even though this was the last episode of Lizzy, we know that Blair has more books coming out that will carry some of these same characters further as well (at least I hope so).
We learn a lot more about Theo as well in this book and my heart broke for some of the things that he had to go through. I would also like to follow up with his cousin and learn more about him and what he had to do to keep Theo and Lizzy safe that put his life in jeopardy. See, Blair gives you all that you want, but still leaves you wanting more! Definitely 5++++ stars!
