At nineteen, Savannah Dean escaped her family, leaving behind a note and the people who caused her so much pain. Now, she lives on her own and keeps to herself. At nineteen, Kent Lawson’s girlfriend betrayed him, leaving him behind with a broken heart and a whole lot of mistrust in women. Now, he lives on his own and shares himself with nearly every pretty thing that walks by but only for one night. When Savannah and Kent meet, they can’t stand each other. Kent knows she’s hiding something, and he despises liars. And Savannah has nothing but secrets.

Natasha Preston is one of the most flexible author I have read. She can either make you cry or keep you on your toes. Lie to Me definitely did not disappoint.

I like that the story actually delivered the blurb. It's kind of hard to sometimes read the blurb because they do not really say what you're in for. I liked the pacing of the story, not too fast or not too slow either. The story plot is not as usual as the other stories I read recently where things doesn't really go bad between the characters. I also liked that it portrayed two different kind of family a person can have.

It's kind of hard for me to love a heroine. I mostly find them lacking. But Savannah is just different. Apart from her familial issues, which I can't blame her for actually, I like her personality and sass. I like that even if she is a bit unsure of herself, she can still hold her own. Kent is also definitely going onto my never ending list of BBF. I like that he genuinely despised Savannah but still acted like a good person when the situation calls for it.

I would give this a definite 5 stars. A breath of fresh story from the recent read I have

I didn’t decide to read this book, this book decided I was going to read it. I accidently opened it, said what the hey, and read it! I am so glad that I did. 
Savannah was running away from her past and insensitive family, she found a way to make it on her own. Savannah was strong but was ready to be able to confide in someone other than her boss. She was ready to let go, but didn’t know how.
Kent was afraid of love, because his last attempt didn’t end very well. But there was just something about Savannah. He was fiercely loyal to his family and friends, and Savannah needed someone like that. 
Together they were able to show each other that there are people out there better than those in their pasts!

Lie to Me had highs and lows. Some parts were so poignant I could feel the emotion as if I were experiencing it with the characters and other moments seemed so ridiculously overblown I had a hard time reconciling them with the rest of the story.

Once I got rolling with the story I was hooked, I wanted to know more about what had happened to Savannah and her family, Kent’s previous relationship intrigued me, and I loved everyone in Kent’s life. Kent and Savannah’s back and forth, their contemptuous interactions were highly entertaining. On more than one occasion I found myself chuckling at how ridiculous they were being. And their chemistry? I totally felt it; it oozed off the pages even before they really acknowledged there was more than physical attraction between them.

Lie to Me is a tiny bit insta-lovey, but sometimes, when you know you know. Despite the expediency of Savannah and Kent's relationship, it felt real. The vulnerability they demonstrated, how they felt like they were themselves again, it all screamed trust and love. Savannah and Kent had a connection that went beyond a physical connection, it was a soul-deep connection, and I loved witnessing them explore it.

My first struggle with Lie to Me came as soon as I opened the book. It was obvious it took the author some effort getting this book off the ground. The writing felt forced – there was a lot of strange over-explanations and awkward telling-not-showing moments. To the point I nearly DNF’d the book before I had really given it a chance, the writing was that off-putting. Fortunately, I had the foresight to look farther into the book to see if the writing improved, because so much of this book was terrific. If Ms. Preston could get some help refining the first few chapters, it would make a world of difference.

My final struggles with this book all came around the same time. There were a couple different climaxes in this book, and I struggled with both of them. The first felt too overblown, regardless of any history of any character the reaction demonstrated didn’t feel realistic, especially given the circumstances, for the reaction. I just didn’t buy it. The second, more significant climax was a little better, but again, I didn’t understand the motivation. The secondary character who was at the apex of that scene needed more fleshing out for me to get on board with his actions.

Lie to Me is a standalone novel. I would love to see another couple books in this world, as some of the secondary characters were so intriguing. It is written in dual first-person perspective, narrated by Savannah and Kent.

Natasha Preston is a new to me author, and I can see that she has promise. I feel like she could be a phenomenal writer with a little more practice and a bit more concentration on fleshing out the motivations of her characters. Having a little more backstory would have gone lightyears for me to have really bought into the entirety of the story.

I wasn’t sure if this was a story I’d like. It sounded like every other story. Falling in love, finding out secrets, breaking things off, etc. I was wrong!

Savannah and Kent start off as enemies but it’s mostly to the heartache they each experienced in the past. Kent was lied to before and it hurst him so bad he believes in total truth all the time. As Savannah and Kent get closer and realize there really is a thin line between love and hate, Savannah finds it more difficult to reveal her past.

When Savannah’s past start catching up to her, Kent needs to decide if her life is a lie he can handle.

This is a story about the strength of love and family, even when it is not your own. Savannah has left her old life and starts over, finding a wonderful employer and friend in Heidi. Haiti's brother, Kent, has been burned bad and no longer trusts women. As he helps his sister at the job, he spends more and more time with Savannah. Even as he doesn't trust her, he is s very attracted. As he accepts his feelings for her, his family envelopes her into the family. When her ex and family come back into her life, everything is almost ruined, but we get a great HEA. Loved the story and will continue to support Natasha Preston.

“I can feel myself sinking to a place I fought so hard for so long to drag myself out of. Darkness storms my mind, reeling me in.”

This book took a bit for me to get fully invested, but once I did I couldn’t get enough. There are secrets, lies, betrayal, heartache and losses from the past that keep these characters guarded from wanting to open themselves up to another serious relationship.

“The ache is like the moon—always there but not always visible.”

This book will have you laughing, crying, frustrated, wanting justice and hoping for a HEA.

“If you haven’t tried the goods, don’t leave a review, sweetheart.”

Another fabulous story from Natasha Preston... it doesn’t take you long before you are caught up in everything that is Savannah and Kent .
It all starts off as a bit of a love hate thing until Kent starts to see Savannah in a different light although Kent treads careful and that’s all because of a previous relationship that went wrong.
It’s very obvious from the get go that Savannah has run from her previous life and bit by bit you are teased but that’s all, it’s all you can do but hang on to every word in the hopes that you will find out exactly what happened... of course we are kept waiting and it drives you crazy.
As Savannah and Kent’s relationship builds so does the anticipation because while Kent has opened up and been very honest about his past Savannah has yet to do the same and you know it’s only a matter of time especially with Simon texting and showing up and Savannah keeping it from Kent... it’s all going to back fire.
When the inevitable happens it’s awful and it only gets worse however just when you think the dust has settled not only do we get the big showdown but Simon appears as if by invitation.
It’s a very tense and anxious time while we witness Simon who is by now proving how unpredictable he really is...do his worst.
All you can do is wait with bated breath in the hopes that it will be a positive outcome for Savannah and Kent but it’s not before fearing the worst.
Great story.!

I loved the whole vibe between Savannah and Kent, and how sweet their love is. The thing I enjoyed the most, was probably how British this book is, from the location to the language used. Its done really well. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Natasha has done it again and written yet another gripping story.

I've loved reading Kent and Savannah's story. In fact, it's kinda taken over my life in the last 48 hours and I've found myself reading instead of doing lots of things that I should have been doing.

I always look forward to Natasha's new releases and already can't wait for the next one.

So what a stonking good read. That ending was a twister that I didn't see coming, and the three witches, the so called bezzie mates well they showed their true colours.

Ethan and Sutton have it all, good looks, health, wealth and the perfect marriage. To top off this wonderful life Ethan is an author and Sutton is a writer. Yes you read that correctly that is how it is described. All will come clear as you read on.

Has Ethan been a naughty man, Sutton doesn't know, all she knows is she is becoming increasingly paranoid, is relying more and more on her friends who each hold secrets for her. But the morning that Ethan wakes up to discover her note saying she has gone away and please don't try to find me is what starts the ball rolling, gathering speed until he is arrested for her murder.

Absolutely fabulous read/listen. Might just read another one of JT Ellisons' books before adding to my following list
