I recognized her instantly, but she had no … I recognized her instantly, but she had no memory of me.
Now I only have one night to claim her and rescue her from her captors.

I was confused a few times reading this novel, but it is great overall, so I rated this 4 out of 5 stars. The times I was confused was when Xavier approaches and buys Lily with Lily not questioning a thing about how he has recognized her, etc. Story, however, is great! Definitely recommend.

Uncovering Lily Book 1
By Rene Webb
Main Characters: Lily and Finn
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
4 out of 5 stars
Wow!! Just wow. This book is contemporary erotic suspense over the top 50 Shades of SEX. This has more sex in the first installment than a lot of other series of books that I have read. Looking forward to Book 2.
I was given an advance copy of this book for an honest review. A well written story that drew me in almost immediately. I was not able to put the book down until I finished it.This is the first book in the Mackay International series. I am excited the story of Lily & Finn will continue into book #2.
I received this book free and i am voluntarily doing a review. Love the cover! The author done great keeping me reading from beginning to end in this dark romance. The characters are wonderful and i loved reading how they got their hea
Mixed feelings after reading
Uncovering Lily is the first book in the MacKay International series. This is the first book I have read by Rene Webb so I was not sure what to expect. But the book description intrigued me so I thought I would grab it and maybe discover a new series and author that I liked. So I came away with some good and bad about this story. And to be truthful I actually put this book down for a long period of time before picking it up again and finishing it.
Be warned that this book does end with a cliffhanger so you will have to read the next in the series to see what happens next.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Exciting, steamy plot about Lily who has been kidnapped and sent to a Hong Kong brothel. Businessman Finn meets up with a prospective client at the brothel and recognizes her as she is his business partner’s cousin, whom he met before. Curious as to what has happened to her, he buys her for the night. This is a hot, steamy read with a lot of questions and a cliffhanger. On to the next book – I’m captivated!
This is a quick read and I found I needed more. you are immediately thrown into the story and at the time I felt I missed something. But you are caught up later in the book, so keep reading I promise it’s worth it. Finn is very dominate in his protection of Lily, once he finds her in a brothel where she was kidnapped to. there’s a lot of steamy scenes in this book, I’d say it’s more steam the story sometimes so if you are looking for that this is your book. This was my first book by the author and I was quite pleased with her writing, can’t wait to read more by her.
Smoking hot! I had to stop a few times to fan myself and read on… Love the way that it’s from both Lily’s and Finns point of view. A definite must read. Really want to know what happens next!
This is the first book I’ve ready by Renee Webb and absolutely loved the story! I will definitely read book 2. In this book, Lily gets kidnapped and is trying to escape before she gets sold. Finn sees Lily and recognized her and knew he had to save her even if she doesn’t remember him.
i love this book…i love Lily and Finn..love how you can fee the character emotion thru the book …will finn be able to save Lily or not .. cant wait to read more of these character ..get this book you wont regret
Whoa!!! Talk about suspense and action! I didn’t think I would actually like this book, I was super skeptical about it once reading the synopsis but I was definitely NOT disappointed! A really great read that will keep you coming back for more!
Uncovering Lily is the first in this series. It does end with a cliffhanger, so you should know that going in. Lily is studying abroad and goes to Paris over a break in school after her friend asks her too, and her stepfather pushes her to go. She is kidnapped from a club in Paris and ends up in Hong Kong held hostage. She can’t figure out who would want to kidnap her unless they want money from her dead father’s business. She tries to escape, but is caught quickly and punished. She ends up serving drinks in the brothel since she knows. She gives a drink to Finn who is there because of people he is attempting to do business with. He immediately figures out she is there against her will, and then when he sees her close up he recognizes her as his business partners cousin and a mentor’s daughter. He decides to play cool and try to figure out things and to get her out of there. He ends up “buying” her for the night. Nothing about Lily is what he expects as he finds out after talking to her for a while. He really can’t believe what she tells him and has to find out for himself. Over the course of the evening, he decides he isn’t just rescuing her, she is now his, and whoever did this to her is going to pay dearly. Before they leave, he finds out who had her kidnapped, and boy that puts a huge twist on the story. As I said it ends on a cliffhanger, so I (as well as you) will have to read the next one to find out more about the kidnapping and what Finn does to those that hurt Lily. Will Finn and Lily become a couple? What happens with Finn and his business partner, Peter? We all need to read the next book to find out. There is some hot steamy sex scenes, and they are rather graphic, so if that isn’t your thing, you probably should find another book to read. This one is way better than Fifty Shades in my opinion.
I really liked this book. Great characters and amazing chemistry. I could not put this book down. I was on the edge of my seat.
I did enjoy this book and it was a fairly quick read. I did however find the storyline a bit strange. Lily has been kidnapped, and is found “by accident” by a guy who knows her (but she has no recall of him). He clearly understands her position, however he “buys” her from the brothel for one night, and then proceeds to seduce her (to gain her trust??), whilst making phone calls to try and find out what has gone on?? before he can attempt to get her out. Having said that, I am keen to read the next book in this series and find out exactly what has gone on.
Everything Lily and Finn go through, makes their love stronger
It was okay. I was expecting a bit more intrigue and suspense. I liked the ending even though it ended on a cliffhanger. Hopefully, I will like book two better.
A great dark romance read.
I’m torn about this book. This had a lot of potential, but I’m not so sure about Finn our H. For a guy who’s suppose to be rescuing Lily from sex traffickers, he’s not honest with her or particularly “hero like”. I love he twist at the end and see the potential for the next book. But we’ll see.
Uncovering Lily wasn’t the worse book I’ve read, definitely not the best. The whole story took place way to quick. Finn knew who Lily was, but didn’t tell her. She was kidnapped against her will and couldn’t remember anything. They were in love with each other within a day?
