Besieged (She Who Dares, #1)

This was a great book. Most of it was worthy of 5 stars. However, I so strongly disagreed with some of Lilly's words and actions, I had to remove a star.
Lily has a troubled past. Through the hints left throughout this book's pages, it seems her history is quite similar to mine. And although we all deal with trauma differently, and maybe I couldn't quite put myself in her shoes, she was a tad OTT. I admired her strength and perseverance. I respected the hell out of this young woman. Just some of what she did gave me pause.
Theo was AMAZING!! Classic manwhore-turned-romanticonewomanman!! At times I actually felt sorry for him. I feel like Lilly kind of broke him. He went from this dominant, arrogant, cocky, self-assured ladykiller to a soft, sweet pussy. The man was practically begging her to be with him. I'd read that he begged her, she gave in, she left, and then he's begging again. That just ain't right!! He must have the patience of a saint because I would've booted her ass to the curb long ago. He's gorgeous. He's capable of love. He's rich. I'm sure he could find someone deserving. This made me dislike Lilly even more!!
The side characters were woven in the story in such a way that I wanted to know more about what they were doing. I'm glad to see book four is Hugo and Molly's story. Should be good cuz that man is a riot!! Rambo lol.
Well I'm still invested in the story, for Theo's sake. I want him to have a HEA even if it's with Lilly.
