Best For Last: An Enemies to Lovers Romance (The Symbols Series Book 3) Kindle Edition
Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Dylan Allen continues the Symbols Series with an enemies- to-lovers vacation romance.
After running from my past for 5 years,
I’m finally ready to face it.
I miss my family, my friends, myself.
I take a trip to Ghana to relax and figure out how to get my life back.
It doesn’t get off to a great start.
But paradise keeps its promise and less than a week in, I’m more relaxed than I’ve been in years.
Until Harry, the ex-seat mate I hoped I'd never see again, shows up at my resort.
The grouchy Brit is more gorgeous than I remembered.
And the biggest jerk I've ever met.
I don’t know why my pulse races every time we lock eyes.
Or why I can’t stop thinking about him.
And why I let him kiss me…and then kissed him back.
The timing is terrible.
But I know lightning doesn’t strike twice.
And I’ve never met a man like him.
Our affair starts on a moonlit beach and ignites a fire between us that will span continents.
Meeting again in the unlikeliest place feels written in the stars.But I'll need the courage of the gods to face him.

I'd gone on a Dylan Allen binge and left this little series to last.
All the stories were emotional and angsty. I loved it.
But this story got me. I actually sobbed. Such a rollercoaster.
Update:
Right, I'm sure I've said before that I loved this series first time round. And I still stand by that. Somehow the very talented Dylan has improved and made this book and the series so much better!
I don't want to say that Dylan saved the best till last but this book absolutely broke me. All over again. The love I have for Lilly as a brave, strong and independent woman is off the scale. She is amazing despite her pain.
And Harry, the part grumpy Brit that says it how it is, the chemistry they have cannot be ignored and the way they keep coming back to eachother. I adore these two. My heart is with them all the way. The story spans oceans and years, but more importantly it makes them feel. More than that though, it allows Lilly to be loved and give love.
What a beautiful story full love and care, acceptance and growth. I can't rate this series highly enough!
Their next meeting is being stuck in an elevator with nothing but time. Whether 'fate' or destiny plays a part they are stuck in an elevator and share a first kiss. They kiss like they might not ever be rescued. It is a kiss they share that will leave them never the same. Like they might die in the elevator and this might be the last kiss with anyone ever again. But they are rescued shortly after and fate or universe will bring them back together? She knew that trouble was coming and had arrived in the shape of a walking, talking, breathing definition of tall, dark, and handsome. They both have issues, and being able to trust problems.
The great advice given to Lilly by a very wise woman is; “I've lived a long enough life to know nothing is as bad as it seems. I also know that no secret stays a secret.” That she should tell her story, before someone else does, and she may not like their version. Pretending means there is a lack of trust, and if they have a second chance, by some miracle, they should hold on for all it is worth. If they had not met they wouldn't know the power of ever knowing the powerful connection that a person can only have with their soul mate. But Lilly is tempted to run when things seem hopeless. Light can't be seen without the dark.
I love the writing and advice:
“There's not a kinder soul in the world. No one's heart is as wide open and giving as yours. But until you decide to start being honest, you always will find freedom elusive.
The truth is your responsibility. Not just to yourself. But to the people who you love.”
“Wherever I am, wherever I go-if you’re there, it feels like home. Your heart is home.”
“If you stumble, I stumble with you and we catch each other.”
“We stand there, two hearts that refuse to be parted and two souls are each others reason for everything.”
“ I bask in the fairytale that is life. I had to fight for it, we never once let go of each other, This love is my truth. And it set me free.”
Release is about Lilly, the middle Hassan sister from the series, who is hiding a lot of pain behind a strong facade. Harry, the hero, is hiding a lot of pain and disappointment behind a strong facade as well. These two have a bit of a rocky start, but the two have a strong connection which transcends continents. As a result of their sorrow and pain, they create a series of misunderstandings which reveal secrets that I wondered if they would be able to overcome. Lilly and Harry’s journey is a passionate and dramatic one, which kept me on my toes.
Each book in this series takes place in a different location and Ghana and England come to life in Release. Ms. Allen always does a wonderful job letting the reader experience the setting. It’s one of the favorite things I like about her books.
Additionally, I enjoy the relationship between the sisters, Addie, Milly and Lilly. These books are about how family can ground you, especially in times of need. Additionally, the secondary characters shine. I especially enjoy Jan, Harry’s housekeeper, and would love to read about her more! She has lots of spunk and is a special addition in the book.
This is the third book in Ms. Allen’s Symbol of Love series, but can be read as a standalone.
Lilly and Harry were such complex characters. There was so much emotional baggage and demons of the past weighing them down. Their struggles were so internal that even their well intentioned families couldn't see them or their pain. Yes, Lilly and Harry don't quite have a fairy tale meet cute, but it's clear from the start that their connection is unparalleled. They challenge and argue with each other, each giving as good as they get. Though some of the exchanges are quite hurtful, they're also honest and real. I was equally in love with and annoyed by Lilly and Harry at different times in the book. What I appreciate most about Dylan Allen's books though, is that she allows her characters to be human. They make mistakes. They hurt. They overcome. They forgive. They love.
Lilly and Harry's story is not an easy one. There is plenty of family drama, twists, and revelations that have you on an emotional roller coaster. It's more than a love story between 2 characters. It's also a love story between parent and child, brothers and sisters, and most importantly, of yourself. I have loved each of these sister's stories so much and cannot recommend this series enough!
ps - I am still DYING from the scene in the car following Louis and Cara's wedding! Camille was seriously THE BEST comic relief ever!
