Review: Lies

A woman breaks up with her “boring” fiancé only to discover he hides a dangerous, secret life.

Betty Dawsey feels her relationship has lost its spark. Her fiancé, Thom, is nice, but a little dull. And just as she’s packed up, walking out of their apartment and their life together, their condo explodes.

Before she knows it, she’s lugged away by strangers who tell her Thom isn’t the insurance agent she thought he was. Quite the opposite actually—Thom is a secret operative who’s been lying, hiding an entire life from her.

Indignant but thankful for the protection, Betty and Thom go on the run, and she must trust him if she’s to stay alive. As they run for their lives, chemistry ignites, burning bright and hot between them as their relationship takes an unexpected turn.

“The look in his eyes as he gazes down at me is everything I could have asked for. Everything I’d given up hoping I’d ever get from this man. And now here he is, giving it to me in spades.”

But can Betty trust a man who’s been lying to her? And can Thom’s secret life as a badass commando afford anything real?

Kylie Scott delivers a delightful domestic comedy a la TRUE LIES. Packed with adrenaline, suspense and red-hot chemistry, this is certainly one to be devoured in a single sitting. Bullets fly as our protagonists hilariously banter, and the narrative has a sort of irresistible charm to it.

Fast, funny, and flat-out entertaining, this is everything you long for in a summertime escape.
