Bad Liar

Lauren Rowe — 2020

Swallowing lies has never felt so good.Reed freaking Rivers. I wouldn't trust a word out of the arrogant music mogul's mouth if his gold-plated tongue were notarized. The Man with the Midas Touch would say anything to get me into his bed, and I know it. But that doesn't mean I don't want him to succeed. Indeed, the moment I laid eyes on Reed while he was speaking at an on-campus event I'd crashed, my body physically ached to feel his golden fingers-and tongue-all over me. Unfortunately, though, I can't give into my powerful craving to jump Reed's cocky bones. Not until I've figured out my best strategy with him . . .The truth is Reed has something I desperately want. Something my heart desires even more than my body craves one night of delicious fun with the yummiest man alive. Reed assumes he's running this game of seduction. He thinks he's a thirty-four-year-old big cat on the prowl, and I'm nothing but a blushing twenty-one-year old field mouse with stars in my eyes. Yeah . . . no.As Reed is about to find out, he's not the only cat on the hunt in this game of cat-and-mouse . . . . BAD LIAR is the first book of the standalone REED RIVERS TRILOGY. The full trilogy is BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR, to be read in order.

Holy hell did Lauren kick this trilogy off with a slow burning, addictive attraction that ignites so deep within it won’t die out no matter how hard you try to smother it! Reed and Georgina are PURE FIRE. The classic game of cat and mouse is brought to new heights as you see both players deal with their internal pulls of not only the physical but mental attraction that only we see as a reader. They may think this is only short term and that their raging inferno is under control, but we know it’s not, not by a long shot. I am so amped for Beautiful Liar. Bring it on.

This book is fun and angsty, with an interesting story. My only caveat is the multiple times 20% or more of the book is spent in one scene/conversation. Literally the last 24% was spent in the same room, in one conversation. Don’t get me wrong, the characters are compelling and I recommend this one, but I imagine it’s going to be one of those trilogies that should have been one book, or at the very least, a duet.
