Review: Forgiving Lies by Molly McAdams


I do not know why it took me so long to read this book, because I loved all the other book I have read by Molly McAdams. So I have finally read this book and was very happy!

What is Forgiving Lies about?

A matter of secrets...
Undercover cop Logan "Kash" Ryan can't afford a distraction like his new neighbor Rachel Masters, even if she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. To catch a serial killer, he needs to stay focused, yet all he can think about is the feisty, long-legged coed whose guarded nature intrigues him.

A matter of lies...
Deceived and hurt before, Rachel would rather be a single, crazy cat lady than trust another guy, especially a gorgeous, tattooed bad boy with a Harley, like Kash. But when his liquid-steel eyes meet hers, it takes all of Rachel's will-power to stop herself from exploring his hot body with her own.

A matter of love...
As much as they try to keep it platonic, the friction between them sparks an irresistible heat that soon consumes them. Can Kash keep Rachel's heart and her life safe even as he risks his own? Will she be able to forgive his lies ... or will she run when she discovers the dangerous truth?

What did I think about Forgiving Lies?

I am just going to get straight into my review of the book, instead of starting with the character breakdown, I am just going to start expressing my love for this book!

This book has everything! A complex love story, with some suspense in the 'will they, won't they' department, characters that you can fall in love with, and some danger to keep you on your toes! And to top it all off, the best sex scene I have ever read about! It was so good I had to read it three times, and I have read a lot of naughty books and they have NOTHING on Rachel and Kash!

I have found that Molly McAdams uses a formula to her books, and it is very effective, because I love all her books. What is the formula you ask? Well, all her books involve a three way love triangle of some type. In Forgiving Lies the three way love triangle is an unwanted.

Rachel Masters moved to Texas with her best friend Candice, from California. From the beginning of the book, you understand that Rachel is a little bit lost, and struggling to find her own identity. She attends university, that Candice chose, doing a course that she doesn't really want to do and refusing to deal with the death of her parents. When Candice forces Rachel to go on a date with her cousin Blake, who is gorgeous, and Rachel has had a crush on him since she was 9 years old, so why does she keep turning Blake down now? Well Blake is a total player around campus! When Rachel finally agrees to a date with Blake, he turns a bit possessive and forceful. One night Blake pushes things too far with Rachel, leaving her terrified. When Rachel tells Candice about what happened with her cousin, she doesn't believe her, making Rachel feel even more lost within herself.

"People say that being in love is amazing. They lie. It's freaking terrifying."

Logan "Kash" Ryan is an undercover narcotics cop in Florida. Things go bad on a mission, Kash is relocated to Texas with his best friend Mason, where they are assigned to work on a murder case. When Kash meets Rachel, sparks fly, but with his job he knows it is not safe to get involved with anyone and tries to resist his feelings. However, Mason and Candice build a 'friendly' relationship and lock Rachel out of their apartment, therefore she is pushed into spending a lot of time with Kash. As their friendship grows, so do their feelings for one another. In order to protect Rachel, Kash decides to keep his true identity from Rachel, but will Rachel be able to forgive the lies when she finds out?

Just a warning for all other readers, this book ends on a cliffhanger! Luckly for us the sequel Deceiving Lies is due to be released on the 4th March.
