Praise for It's Only Love
"Steam level is off the charts. Highly recommend this for romance readers looking for lots of sexy scenes. 🔥🔥🔥"- Alicia Crofton, author of the Escape in Paradise series.
"Lila sure knows how to use tension (sexually and otherwise) to shape her stories into something tangible. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes small town, steamy romances!!!" - Mimi Flood, author of the With or Without You duet.
"Dean is 🔥🔥🔥 they tried so hard to fight their feelings, it drove me mad, but a good mad! The tension between these two is crazy, their chemistry lit up the pages.
I can’t wait for book 2 now!! I really really enjoyed this, Lila is brilliant and I encourage anyone who enjoys small-town, steamy romance to give it a go!!" - Yvette, Bookstagrammer.

Praise for color of Love
"As Lila would say, there’s a good amount of filth in this book and it made me all kinds of happy. Justine and Blake have a great emotional relationship, but their physical relationship is one that sets your kindle on fire."- Anna P. author of Almost Maybes.
"When these two worlds collided, the entire mix was absolute FIRE. My girl, Lila knows the exact recipe to write the PERFECT sexual tension. These two? OMG! I was dying!"-Andrea, Bookstagrammer.
"Sexy, sweet and heartbreaking at times, Color of Love was a perfect continuation of the Citrus Pines series. The focus throughout the book on mental health and the importance of talking about it was what made this story next level incredible for me. Ms Dawes, I applaud you.!"-Kira, Bookstagrammer.

Praise for SWEET SURRENDER
"Through a well crafted fake relationship trope, she builds these two flawed but fiercely devoted characters into the hottest couple I’ve seen on page in a long time! I’m not kidding—this is the best book in the series! Do yourself a favour and jump into it today!!!" - Mimi Flood, 2019 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize finalist.
"The writing was phenomenal! I wanted to read this in one sitting, but, alas, sleep had to get in the way.🙄 The relationships in this book would make anyone sigh in happiness. It's refreshing to see healthy, happy, love-filled relationships (friendship, romantic, family), including the secondary or minor characters."- Rae, Bookstagrammer.
"This book has everything! You are going to laugh out loud, you are going to swoon and definitely you are going to fall in love with Beau and Taylor. They are the perfect couple." - AddictedToReadingRomance, Bookstagrammer.

Praise for LOVE ME GOOD
"Oh my God. Kayleigh and Ben might be my new favorite couple?!?! Like how is that possible after Taylor and Beau?!? Ben is so hot, nerdy, and sweet. And Kayleigh, ugh Kayleigh, I freaking love her toy with her identity of a good girl gone bad. They are a match made in romance novel heaven and I wish I had more to read." - Author, Anna Lindgren
"I absolutely loved this book, it was so emotional and romantic and sweet but with that essential touch of spiciness too!!It was such a quick and easy read and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to see what Kayleigh and Ben were up to next!"- Mrs LJ Gibbs, Bookstagrammer.
"This book is about discovering your true self. Ben and Kay sure did it! And that scene with Ben on stage... wow!! And then that scene with his father and brother... oh my! Love Kay's family!!
Loved it!"-Francis,Goodreads review/Bookstagrammer.

"Lila has done it again!!! Another incredible book in the Citrus Pines series. I didn't want it to end! While Rebelle's story was heartbreaking at times, I absolutely loved the growth from her. I may have teared up a few times!
I loved, loved, loved Will!!! The big muscled, tattooed, billionaire who has the kindest, most tender heart. Swoon!! I love that he fell first but was also so respectful of Rebelle." - Elyse - Bookstagrammer.
"I love everything about this book, the slow burn, the tension, the healing, and the found family! Rebelle and her girls are just precious, I will definitely be reading their books. The third act conflict tears my heart out, but the story wrap-up beautifully."- Elyvia, Bookstagrammer.
"WILL. FREAKING. CRAWFORD. That's the review. Carry on... Fine, I won't keep him to myself. Can we please talk about the dichotomy that is this man? Suave, tall, tattooed from head-to-toe? I get it, he sounds like an intimidating guy. But give him a chance and you'll find a softie of a man who will happily relinquish control to his partner. Really, I absolutely loved watching him win over Rebelle. He was persistent but respected her boundaries. And the way he cared for her? *swoon* And did I mention the suspenders? SUSPENDERS!!!"
-Jessi, Bookstagrammer.
