Liked it!
Eden I The prologue grabbed by attention and the book kept my attention to the end. I felt Lily and Jake's attraction to each from the start. I wanted more of Lily's backstory, because you know there is more to her than we are getting. You also know there is more to Jake than we are getting. In my opinion Georgia Le Carre gives you hot sex and suspense that keeps you turning the pages. It's a little slow getting started and then it picks up. This book does end in a cliffhanger which I hate, but I will continue reading.Eden II This book gave the background of Lily I was looking for. I like Lily's loyalty to her brother. I could feel her confusion of her feelings for Jake and how she felt she was letting her brother down. Jake is the mystery to me, he is tough when needed yet loving and tender when needed. In my opinion Georgia Le Carre did a good job keeping the reading guessing. The chemistry was undeniable between Jake and Lily, the sex was hot and steamy. There is hot steamy sex, betrayal and intrigue. In my opinion this is a great continuation of Eden I. This does end in a cliffhanger. These books are quick reads, but could be confusing if you don't pay attention.Eden III In my opinion Eden III was the best. If you can get through Eden I, Eden II gets better. Eden III had a little action, some suspense and hot sex. Georgia Le Carre even threw a twist I did not see coming. That's pretty good since most authors don't get twist by me very often. No matter what happens Lily and Jake are meet to be together. Sometimes Lily got on my nerves when she didn't follow through on things. Jake got on my nerves when I felt he was trying to take Lily's independence. In the end both Lily and Jake redeemed themselves in my eyes. Overall The Eden Trilogy was a fun quick read. In my opinion this was a little different than other Georgia Le Carre books. I missed the suspense. There was some suspense I just wanted more. In my opinion most of my questions were answered. If you give The Eden Trilogy a chance just get through book one and it gets better.

A rare diamond, not crystal.
Georgia Le Carre... You are a goddess. A wordsmith extraordinaire. I have never been less than in love with your works of art.I want to be your heroines. I want to heroes to be mine. To love me so well, body and Soul. And I'll love them the same.I can not recommend Georgia's books highly enough. 5 stars or 100, is still not enough.I could synopsize this trio, but that been done.So, I'll leave you with this: if you love to love, love true and strong...Read anything and everything, by Ms. Le Carre.Thank you Georgia, for sharing your talent, with the World.

I love, love, love this book! 6 stars!
I love, love, love this book! 6 stars!Jake and Lily are on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to your typical couple attraction. But opposites do attract. This couple is thrown together by exterior influences and find their soulmates. The struggle is very real for them to be together.My heart was mush for Jake. He seemed like a boy in a mans world when it came to Lily. And he is ruthless and demanding and a very Alpha male.I loved how the Georgia touched on reading cards, animal communicators and visions throughout the story. I truly believe in the influence of things we cannot understand or explain.

An Emotion-Filled Page Turning Tour de Force
I haven't been able to give a 5 star review for many months; the stories I've read have barely made it past 2's and 3's. This work marks a come back of the 5 star review.I was not familiar with Ms. Le Carre's work before reading Crystal Jake, but I am now a fan. Her writing was wonderful, no jarring grammatical errors or electronic glitches. Her characters were well-developed and flawed. Her plot was sinful in simplicity and twisted in skillfully manipulation.I am delighted to have found her and can't wait to read more of her stories. The emotional bond she created between Jake and Lily fed my soul. My only complaint was never getting enough of an explanation of the Crystal necklace he wore. I loved the family dynamics, the attachments, the pain and healing.I loved how Ms. Le Carre wove in her insights behind drug running into her story in such a logical and concise manner. And, she's correct in her insights, those she attributed to Jake as speaker.I will be reading any of her works for the foreseeable future.

Worth your time to read it.
This was a new author for me. The story started out really slow and I was a little confused in the beginning but I wanted to give it a chance. I am glad that I did. There were some very interesting plot twists and I enjoyed the characters. Also - don't get me wrong - I love a good sex scene as much as the next person, but I don't like it when half of the book is sex - I want a story line and Georgia Le Carre didn't disappoint. The sex scenes were raw and steamy but not overdone - you know - every other freakin' page! By the time I reached the 3rd book I didn't want to put it down. Before I knew it the story ended and all was well with the world for Jake & Lily. I definitely recommend this series!

Georgia LeCarre does it again!!
First, I will admit my review may be a little bit bias. Ever since I read The Billionaire Banker, I have loved Georgia LeCarre!! Her novels are funny, smart, with a little bit of British thrown in. Jake is described as using “women the way other people use tissue. And when he discards them he gives them as much thought as people do to tissue they have soiled”. I found him to be intense, very sexy, insightful, intelligent and arrogant – “Asking would imply choice”. He is inked (WOW), he can quote St. Luke, and knows how otters sleep (really – how cute was that? I LOVE otters!)I would describe Lily as determined, intelligent, retrospective, damaged, and somewhat innocent to the evil in the world. But she is also adorable and easy to relate to. She even quotes Meatloaf – how cool is that??I love how Georgia LeCarre pays attention to details, such as the cars and motorcycles, to quoting St. Luke, Cesar, and Meatloaf, to the songs and artists she references (and even the book Lily is reading on vacation – Nice touch!!). Now if there was a Spotify playlist to go with Jake and Lily’s story…

Crystal Jake
Wow! Really loved this book, I have the follow ups lined up and ready. Jake and Lily, theirs is definately a love story with a difference. Lily is an undercover cop, Jake her target. She gets a job as an "exotic dancer" in his club. When they meet its red hot. There are lots of twists and turns throughout this complete story. Sometimes things got so intense I had to stop reading, take a breather, I tend to get really into my books, this was one that the characters were so good, so well written, I really worried about what was going to happen next. I have read Georgia Le Carre many times, never fails to produce the best of goods.Sue P

Very good overall
I wavered a bit in my final decision for the star rating as there were some aspects I loved but some which didn't work for me.This is the story of Jake and Lily and is a 3 book series, which has some twists and turns as there relationship is not all plain-sailing.It begins when Lily gets a job as a dancer in Jake's gentleman's club and there is an instant attraction between them and they launch quickly into an intense physical relationship. Lily sees Jake as a dangerous gangster who she cannot resist, but keeps her past hidden. There is plenty of sex and some hot scenes, but I found the writing a little stilted and awkward in places. Book 1 ends on a cliffhanger and once into Book 2, we find out more about Lily and Jake and their backgrounds.Here the story and the writing got much better and I was really gripped and moved straight onto Book 3 for the conclusion, which did not disappoint.

Didn't quite pan out as expected
I read these books yesterday and I have to say I shall probably be re-reading them today. I really enjoyed them. Expected more issues between the main characters having read the blurb for each book but instead it was a good steady development of the relationship. For a change I wasn't saying 'oh for goodness sake woman - what are you doing?' I could understand and sympathise every step of the way.

Brilliance....
WOW! Just WOW!I loved loved loved these books! They had twists, turns, passion, heartache, a proper thriller of a story and can't forget the humour from the Irish jokes!! (the last one was the best lol)This is probably the first book I've read expecting the usual sexy scenes and not got them and I'll be honest...I was glad! Reading the same shrivel book in book out gets tiresome very quickly! These set the scene and then concentrated more on the storyline which I thought was brilliant.Both Lily & Jake have had terrible heartache through the loss of loved ones, both have came out fighting and both of them deserve to find love 😍Defo recommend this series!I'm off now to read BJ & Laylas story...Can't wait 😀5 stars 🌟
