When Alejandro unexpectedly rebuffs Lily one night, she is deeply dismayed. But, after seeing Alejandro’s picture with a gorgeous Latina model in the gossip pages, Lily thinks it wasn’t just a misunderstanding.

I am so glad I read this series in the trilogy because once I started reading I was unable to put these books down! Lily is betrayed by her fiancée and her sister the day before her wedding so she decides to take her honeymoon alone. Once in Rio Lily finds two men that catch her attention. Lily gets devastating news and must return to the states in book 2 and in the conclusion you will find out if Lily gets her own happily ever after. I really enjoyed this book, it has a little something for everyone in it, there is no shortage of emotion, betrayal and steamy love scenes. I loved Lily as a character and reading her journey from hurt and betrayed to empowered and self confident was great. I always enjoy Vivian Winslow books and I look forward to reading more from her!
The Lily Trilogy focuses on Lily, Poppy’s daughter. We follow Lily while she tries to figure out her life after catching her fiance cheating the night before their wedding. While figuring out what she wants to do, she is roped into the family business and learns to find herself along the way. The story was good. I found myself frustrated with Lily at times, but the frustration went with the story. Overall it was a good story. Dahlia’s story should be extremely interesting!

I was already familiar with the author when I picked this trilogy up. This trilogy moves fast and the short stories flow well together in development of our main character. I continue to love this author and look forward to reading more from her.
I recently read the Wildflowers books by Vivian Winslow and I was completely hooked on Poppy and her story. I was excited to read the Lily Trilogy and experience life from her perspective.
I enjoyed reading the box set, each book was a good length and a relatively quick read. I have really come to enjoy Vivian Winslow’s writing and a large part of that is due to her talent for crafting amazing, well written characters. I was invested in Lily from the very beginning when she experiences true betrayal and I found myself rooting for her throughout. Seeing glimpses of her throughout Poppy’s story it was really neat to see where she had come from.
This story has everything from betrayal to passion and is truly a fast paced read. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.
The Lily Trilogy by Vivian Winslow is made up of three delightful tales; Gilded Lily, Calla Lily and Tiger Lily. These stories are overflowing with edgy drama, power, money, deceit and lust.
After Lily makes the hurtful discovery of her sister and fiancee together, she embarks on her honeymoon alone. While going over all that has happened, she meets the charismatic Gustavo. She is determine to resist his relentless pursuit of her, and the tumultuous journey for them begins.
Calla Lily continues with Lily and Gustavo and a colourful collection of secondary characters. Lily has more time to reflect and work out what she wants out of life. More man drama follows her wherever she goes, and readers are taken on a wild ride with each turn of the page.
Tiger Lily is the gripping conclusion to this mind blowing series, and let me say that it was stunning. The ending was not at all what I had first envisioned. That just added to the quality and greatness of this series. It just kept getting better and my level of excitement reached fever pitch. I cannot get enough of this author’s work and love how she plays with words. Each story was just the perfect length. Not too short, not too long. Lily and crew kept me thoroughly enthralled and hungry for more. 5 stars.
The Lily Trilogy by Vivian Winslow is made of three books that you have to read together. I am grateful for them being all together and did not have to wait for the next book to come out. The way Vivian Winslow writes her stories is refreshing. It feels like she has written the main plots for each book and then filled in with amazing details and little stories to make them unique. I fell in love with Lily Baron because she is a strong female character. She has been betrayed and is having hard time with trust and rightfully so. Will Lily follow her heart or her head?

The stories are wonderful to read and will have you turning pages to find out what happens next. These are well-written books that I highly recommend, and you don’t want to miss out on.
This is a three book series that I couldn’t put down until the last page. I loved the emotional roller coaster ride that Lily took me on throughout all three books. This series has a little bit of everything in this book from betrayal to hot, steamy romance. I loved that we got to see Lily grow from betrayal to taking chances to finding herself. She is my favorite, the other characters are just as lovable. I highly recommend this book!
