Divine Desire (The Lotus House Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

This book is explosively hot in every way! Just when I think Audrey Carlan can't out do herself, she does! I have a new appreciation and love for the word dazzle. Mila and Atlas are a couple who have abandonment issues, but they really have hearts of gold! I absolutely adore their sexy, smart a$$ banter. They are an off the wall couple who drive each other crazy. I love that they are different, fun, beautiful, annoying, smart and amazing people! I also enjoy their group of friends immensely! The beauty and love bounces right off the pages of this story making you want and need more. This is a story you won't put down. The chemistry and friction is off the charts! There is so much heart and hope between the pages that you don't want this spectacular story to end! This is a beautiful masterpiece that will go down as one of my favorite Audrey Carlan stories of all time.

My fondness for the Lotus House series is no secret--but this book even stands out from the series itself, above the genre in terms of how beautifully it embodies the magic of two lonely, broken people coming together and exposing their souls to each other, risking all their safety valves for the hope of finding something greater than themselves.At first, both Mila and Atlas believe that such a "higher calling" will be answered in the form of their creative art--Mila a painter, and Atlas a musician--but as their relationship grows, they also begin to realize their views toward their mediums does too. I have to say that this is one of the deepest views I've ever read of the creative process, and how highly creative individuals get locked in to their perception of how "success" is defined, instead of trusting their spirit about the true path of creative fulfillment. It was simply beautiful...and blew me away to the point of tears.The things you WILL find in this book, that have come to be the hallmark of a great Audrey Carlan read, are passion, heart, humor, and a true connection to the hearts of these two lovers.I could say I'll treasure this book in my heart forever, but that's a lie. This one has become a precious keepsake in my soul.

Audrey Carlan has become one of my favorite authors. She always brings originality and freshness in her stories. In other books I have read by her I couldn't put the book down, and this one was no different. The bickering and intense sexual flirting by Mila and Atlas was sexy. They both just exuded sex appeal and Audrey had no problem writing that.Both Mila and Atlas had no experience when it came to a serious relationship, heck, Mila didn't even have relationships, so watching them fall in love was magical. These two knew how to have a tongue-of-war with each other about everything that came up. I couldn't stop laughing at some of their arguments in the beginning. The sex had me jealous because it was always so ridiculously steamy. Seeing the passion they both had for their talented crafts and the support they gave each other was refreshing, and lastly, seeing these two give into feelings they both never experienced before at late ages in their lives made my heart skip a beat at times(well I have a heart murmur, but still...it did!).Reading Carlan's books keep me on my toes and has me dancing around with giddiness anticipating what she will write on the pages. I haven't even read the first book in this series but I ordered the 4th and can't wait to read it even though I should read the first. Each book you get to know more and more about the characters in each couple's circle, and I don't want to start from the beginning because the second and third have been extremely juicy!! Having to make a decision about this is a nail biting situation! Should I move on to book 4 or go back and get 1 read?!?!Either way of you haven't read this book I don't know what you're waiting on. Stop reading my review and get this book already!! Geesh!!

**5 Wildcat dazzling-duck loving stars.**This Audrey novel was a different read for me in the best ways possible.~Sidebar, I now partake in Audrey's social media groups (Which is super awesome and cool in its own) why it's important in this review, is I see her personality and witty banter firsthand and this novel is chok-full of it <wink> <snort> GAH, YEEEESH and I LOVED it!She brought Mila & Atlas to life perfectly within the world of Lotus House. They are but two artists struggling to bring their passions to life, and owning their choices along the way. As always with Audrey's writing, the side characters stand on their own, and the multi threaded story lines weave together perfectly to create one helluva plot.I have never, ever highlighted so much of a book. Usually I stick to quotes that jump out at me, unique wording or phrases, something funny, etc. Instead, I found myself elbows deep in multi-colored highlighter land, my kindle probably thought i'd gone off the deep end.That being said, with the next Lotus House duo being offer up in this novel (Monet & Clay) I chose a highlight that I'm hoping brings their story full circle.(Clay to Atlas) "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck...man, it's a f@&$ing duck" Bring on it Clayton, I pray pray pray Audrey hands you your booty, and you end up eating your words, quacking like said duck.As for Mila & Atlas, I urge you to take their journey and be swept up in their sweet melodies and artistic abilities, you will not be disappointed!

this was a slow burner in comparison to previously books it took a better getting into this 1 on so easy flying but when she got into it it was back to a beautiful cosmic story.Milna and Atlas are both damaged characters that come together with dreams that they both want to fulfill and together they live in change dramatically....💖🥰The storyline of the lotus house and it's yoga gurus.... Bring scintillating and heart warming stories to enjoy....👏🤗🎉😷🐘
