Beneath These Lies by Meghan March
5.0

This was one that had me jumping back and forth, as we didn't know for sure at first if the main character, Valentina, was going to end up with Hennessy or Rix. And while it was exciting to know that the deep, seductive voice of Sebastian York would be reading to me, we didn't get him for a while. I figured it was in order to keep us guessing on which guy it would be in the end. But then when he did get a few chapters in, he actually was doing both Rix and Hennessy, so again, keeping you guessing. Also, I thought how the tattooed guy on the cover would give it away that it had to be Rix, well, Hennessy also has tattoos, so still no definite answer. It was obvious that Hennessy was the better match for Valentina, with who her family was. But the attraction between her and Rix was so much more and made me know that I wanted them to figure out how they could actually make this work. The fact that Rix was trying to figure out how he could get things done in his life so that he could be right for her, well, that said a lot about him. There was a lot of suspense in this one, not knowing how Rix would get things done, how he would keep Valentina safe. Knowing what Valentina had gone through in an earlier story, how she'd been attacked, it was at times hard to understand how she could let herself get anywhere near Rix's world. But he took care of her. At the end you could totally see the big event coming, all the clues were there. But there was definitely a twist that I didn't necessarily see coming right away. And I liked it. I thought this was the final book in this world, and I am so relieved to see that there are two more. I hope that the man who didn't end up with his woman in this book will be one of those final stories. I won't tell you which one it is, I'll let you read and find out.

Oh yeah, I also can't WAIT to meet the author at Book Bonanza in Denver this July.
