Shielding Lily

By: Alexa Riley

Narrated by: Laurie West, Hunter Millbrook

It's Lily Parker's first day at a new high school. She's a senior finishing her last semester, and all she wants to do is graduate and get out of town. Her home life is a secret hell, and she's trying to find a way out. But everything changes when Ren says hello and sees right through to her truth.

Ren Hendrick's succeeds at everything he touches, including football. But he's never been passionate about anything. He's quiet and keeps to himself, which pisses people off. But he can't find the desire to care. He's lived a life without color, until Lily walks in and lights up his world.

Their story is one of sweet young love and finding your forever before you can even dream of what that is. It's one of protecting what belongs to you and having the courage to follow your heart, no matter your age.

Warning: Call your dentist and schedule an appointment, because you're going to get nothing but cavities from this sugary book. Ren and Lily start off so innocent, but by the time it's over, you're gonna need to hose yourself off. We're talking two virgins who turn into maniacs. You're welcome!

I loved this sweet romance. The male narration could have been better.

The storyline is perfect. The writing and dialogue throughout fits the characters and is so realistic. It’s not a fairy tale. I also loved that Lilly immediately told Ren when Christy had lied to her about the football players (and about Ren specifically) only wanting to have sex with the new girls.

Laurie West was perfect and I could hear Lilly’s voice in her narration. And although Zhinter Millbrook has a deep, sexy voice, his voice was too old for an 18 years old Ren. I am noticing this more and more. It seems that predominately the male narrators (and to a lesser degree female narrators) are selected for their ability to perform multiple voices in both sexes as opposed to fitting the age of the characters. More younger male narrators are needed.

When you know, you know

I loved this book! From the first page I was I hooked! Alexa’s writing of Shielding Lily is so sweet and beautiful!

love this book

loved it. really loved that a man read for most of the guy parts and a female for most of the lady parts.

Heart warming

This was the sweetest romance I’ve read (or listened to) in a long time. I LOVE the characters! The story was lovely and low angst, some thing you just need some times. The epilogue(s) were perfect. I’m not usually a repeat reader but I’m glad I bought this one because I will probably be revisiting it in the future.💖

Love Story

This was a true lobe at first site story.I adore Ren, he new his own mind at such a young age and kept his head around all that pressure from school. He is to be admired.
