Miami Lust #3
Taunt
I’m Dante. My brothers and I own The Glass Stripper, the hottest new strip club in Miami. I’m the baby of the brothers, “the jokester”, the one that is the tease…unless you’re in my bed, where I’ll make your hottest nights a reality.
The only serious side to me is my work. I’m the money man, or in official terms here in the club, the Hotty CFO. I like to train my women to please me, telling them what to do and how to give me what I want.
Until Ava comes along. Suddenly, I’m an ass and all of my tears of laughter have turned into a torrential downpour of emotion on her part. She thinks I’m a bully. She’s got me all turned around, upside down, and sideways in my thinking like I’m hanging on a string that swings back and forth like a pendulum.
Love? I don’t fall in love. I’m leaving that emotion to my older brothers. I fall in lust – every day! I’m not a white picket fence kind of guy. I’m too young for that. Or am I?

Dante Solis is definitely the baby of the family. He is a jokester, a genius. and he can be such a sweetheart. I expected Dante to be my favorite Solis brother by the end of Taunt, but Thiago still firmly holds that spot. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know all 3 Solis brothers and I was so happy to see how all 3 Solis brothers had their own epilogue at the end of Taunt. This is the perfect book to enjoy with a glass of wine after a long day at the office.

Dante is a playboy who never plans to settle down and makes fun of his older brothers when they find their happily ever after!
Ava is a strong independent woman, who has been teased and bullied in the past, and takes it all to heart. She doesn't like people putting labels on things, especially her!
When Ava tries to have a meeting with Dante to gain her employers the clubs business, he teases her and she can't handle it so leaves. Dante sends a gift to apologies, and when she meets him again, she runs out in tears. Things go from bad to worse until Dante comes up with a plan.....
Can Dante be grown up enough to truly see what Ava needs, and can Ava overcome her deep down issues to realise that Dante is just a fun loving young man.
There is also a serious side to this book, which Miss Lally has written into the story very well. I have really enjoyed this book, In fact the whole series has been a great read.

I love reading and there are a few authors that I simply devour their books and C.M. Lally is one of them. She has a way of pulling you into the story and keeping you there all the way through the Epilogue and in this case the Epilogues since this was the last book in this series and I absolutely adore the way she ended this series!
Dante and Ava have a very rocky start with each bringing out the stubborn feisty side of the other but the chemistry is too sizzling to be ignored. Both Taunt the other without even realizing it!
Ava finally gives in to her feelings for Dante and solicits the help of Brooke, who is married to Thiago, and Cassee, who is engaged to Mateo and what an explosive pair these 2 make!
Dante is the youngest and final bachelor of the Solis brothers and falls hard regardless of his steadfast commitment to remain a bachelor and doesn't know what hit him when he meets Ava!
This book is filled with all the excitement and sizzle of a new relationship and brings tears in some parts but keeps you turning pages to see what will happen next!
I loved that Cyndy ended this book with 3 Epilogues to update her readers and fans on what is going on in the three brothers lives as the series ends.
This book is a must read and a stand alone but the enjoyment is enriched if you read Brazen (book 1) and Stroke, (book 2) in this series. Go grab them and "buckle up, buttercup because you're gonna need a seatbelt for this ride!"
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary ARC of this book and recommend it as a must read!
I can't wait to read When We Fall (The Falling Series, book 3)

The third and final installment in the Miami Lust trilogy delivers everything reader have been waiting for from Ms. Lally. Dante, the last of the single Solis brothers, has vowed to stay a playboy bachelor. Why settle down when there are so many women to choose from each night. That is until he meets his match in Ava. Ms. Lally has crafted wonderfully layered characters in Ava and Dante. Ava is insecure due to labels placed on her as a child and as a result has no tolerance for any situation where she thinks someone is putting a label on her. Dante is the carefree brother always ready with a joke. However, in this story, the author allows us to see more clearly into Dante and the insecurities he has due to his childhood. The chemistry between Dante and Ava was terrific and I enjoyed watching them each grow to overcome their insecurities as they grew together as a couple. This book is filled with sweet, steamy, lighthearted, teasing moments that will pull the reader in to see how Dante and Ava get their happy ending. I loved the epilogue she provided at the end that wraps up the new beginnings for each couple.

Dante is the baby brother of the Solis family and he is the smartest. He is the successful CFO of their strip club and he is absolutely aware of his charms and his cunning. Too bad it won’t help him when he meets a strong and independent woman who will be giving him a hard time. Ava is a beautiful girl with past issues. Bullied and full of complexes, she stays away from men like him but Dante deep inside is a loving man and it will take all the scheming from his family to help him win Ava over her prejudices. I really enjoyed reading about the Solis family, 3 brothers different from one another but loving and passionate and mostly I love the bond they had among themselves. The books has a wonderful ending; it actually gives the reader a glimpse of what has later happened to the other couples so the book is worth reading for many reasons; because of the wonderful story between Dante and Ava and because of the grand finale of the 3 stories. My compliments to the author who has completed the series majestically.

I liked this book. All three brothers have been interesting and able to overcome their past and grab on to their future.
Dante can't understand why his brothers have given up single life, but he really does love the women that they chose. Ava has had to grow up early and help raise her brother when her dad walked out. She doesn't get Dante's humor and ends up in tears every time they meet. Dante needs to figure out how to make things right with her.
I enjoyed the characters and I loved getting extra epilogues for all the brothers so that we see what happens next for them. My only concern about the book is how fast Dante changed his mind about being single to being in love. I think that there should have been some form of personal debate over it before fighting for what he wants.
The characters are strong and know what they want. The secondary characters are the leading pairs from the first two books and they bring their A game. I will be reading this series again.

What an incredible ending to an awesome series. This novel takes you on an emotional journey of the last Solis brother, Dante, as he figures out that life is not always better as a bachelor. When Ava walks into the club for a meeting sparks instantly fly and the chemistry ignites. But will Dante's jokester attitude push Ava away or will the compassion he shows her during her time of need make him into the man for her? With strong characters and an emotional storyline, CM Lally makes her readers feel like they are part of the book. The ending epilogues put the finishing touch on all three stories - this was romance at its best. I cannot wait to see what CM Lally has in store for us next. I highly recommend this book as well as the rest of the series.

It's Dantes turn!
I was excited to get the last brother's story- serious, sarcastic, with playboy ways I was curious how he would turn out!
CM Lally did not disappoint!
The sinfully sexy alpha'd up with heart Stirpclub owing Solis brothers have become favorites of mine
Dante and Ava's story is a sweet, witty, emotional fast-paced journey on how two people who don't do relationships well, or not at all come together spectacularly with a little outside help!
I have loved these books! If you have not read any of them, I highly suggest picking up these yummy novellas!
Even though I am sad, the Miami Lust series is done, I am looking forward to what she has in store for us next!

"I'm the echo and you're the boom"
Excuse me a moment while I gush over the last book of the Miami Lust series!!! I have been a huge fan of this series, the Solis brothers are HOT!!!!
Dante, being the youngest of his brothers, was such a fun character!! I absolutely fell in love with him! Ava, sweet Ava, is the perfect match for the young playboy. Their chemistry is off the charts and I adored the fun little games they played!
This is the perfect end to an incredibly sexy series of novellas!! I'm sad to say goodbye to the Solis brothers, but look forward to what the talented Ms Lally has in store for us next!!!

3 1/2*
Dante along with his brothers Thiago & Mateo own The Glass Stripper.
Ava works for the radio station and has taken over the clubs promotion but had a disagreement with Dante.
Dante is the younger brother who's job is making the figures balance but has he met his match in Ava?
A wonderful ending to the brothers adventures it also includes more about the other brothers and their lives now. All these books are standalone & have endings. I would definitely recommend them.
Thiago & Brooke in Brazen bk 1
Mateo & Cassee in Stroke bk 2

I have to read the other 2 books in this series now!!!
I have lucked in and found a new author. I beyond loved this book. I read it all in one sitting not wanting this book to end. This is the kind of story I enjoy. Romance , love , sexy hot times and friends and family to join the mix. This book made me feel the love and made me smile and didn't want it to end. I need Dante. One good hot loving sexy man. Ava was just the woman to tame him. I wish this series didn't end. I adored this book.

What a great ending to the Miami Lust series!!! Baby brother Dante, the man to joke and laugh, lust but not love has met his match in Ava. Feisty but serious she's not one to fall for a man who can't take life seriously....until Dante. Watching the two come together as well as seeing the brothers and their loves again. Just so Good!

What a fun read! CM Lally is one of my new favorite authors and she doesn’t disappoint with this cute novella! This story has a HEA ending. I really enjoyed how Ms. Lally finalizes the story/series in the final epilogues. She leaves nothing unanswered. I would recommend reading this Novella.

Definitely give yourself a treat and pick up Taunt! I highly recommend this read. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

I volunteered to review an ARC in order to provide an honest review. And then there were three. Dante was definitely my favorite Solis brother because our personalities are very similar. He definitely met his match with Ava. Great read!

Finished it and absolutely loved it it was sexy with lots of comedy I just loved Dante he was funny but knew how to take things seriously fought for what he wanted in the end and was able to convince Ava Marie that his job didn’t define who he was
September 18, 2017
Great ending to the trilogy of the Solis brothers. Ava's serious to Dante's playfulness proves opposites do indeed attract.

Uma decepção de série
September 18, 2017
Dante. The youngest of the three Solis brothers. He's a care free, sexy, and has a "brain for numbers". He's a college graduate and is the CFO of the Glass Stripper. He's the joker and says he will never settle down.
Well, that is until he meets Ava. He's taken by her. Unfortunately, he keeps messing things up with her.
Ava is a beautiful, smart, independent woman. She works in marketing and public relations for the radio station across the street from the Glass Stripper. She hates putting labels on people. She especially hates it when labels are put on her.
Will Dante and Ava give each other a chance?
I read this as an ARC read. I honestly recommend this book.
Thank you CM Lally for another awesome read!
