But thankfully these flashbacks only happen in the first half of the story. ![]() I know many love flashbacks, but I am not a big fan of them. I was a bit nervous because even though I liked book two I didn’t love it like I did book one but I can say that this book really worked for me despite the flashbacks. Lorraine Heath is such a memorable author and definitely an auto buy for me which is why when I saw this audio available in my library I was super excited because I excpected to have to buy this but I was surprised that I didn’t need to. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Do you recognize any of these versions of The Lie?ġ. Think about your favorite books, the ones that have grabbed you by the ear and whispered their demand that you add them to your keeper shelf.

I’ve been reading novels for years and one of the common threads from story to story-especially in romances of all periods and types-is The Lie. The Truth About Lies (and why we love the people who tell them) Thank you so much to Vanessa for inviting me here today.
