Undercover journalist Audrey Albertson has one job–get the scoop on Seattle’s most eligible ex-con. She’s already completed step one–convincing Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome that she’s a fully functioning image consultant, who can provide him with a much needed man-makeover. Now, she just has to get to step two–get him to reveal his secrets. Of course, it would help if she could do it without falling straight into his arms.
Recently released felon Derek Stone needs a little help being perceived as something other than what he is, a man who stole a million dollars. His plan is simple: hire an image consultant. Have her make him into someone the world won’t hate. Reap the rewards without revealing the truth behind his crime. Letting the prim, sassy little blonde into his heart isn’t on the agenda.
As Audrey gets closer to Derek, she becomes positive that there is more to him than just his alleged criminal past. His walls might be high, but so is her motivation. Can she figure out his secrets before he figures out hers? Will the truth build a bridge between their hearts, or will it just tear them apart?

My Rating: 4 stars
What the world sees on the surface is rarely the complete truth. And that would be true for Derek and Audrey as well. Both are holding back secrets, each is telling or living a lie and they have so much to lose, or gain, when the truth is finally revealed. Life is funny, looking beneath the surface can show you a totally different perspective on what you thought you knew as truth.
In spite of the way this story is described in the cover blurb, I had a lot of fun with this one, several laugh out loud moments and I encountered some of the funniest, wittiest banter between characters that I’ve read in a while. While we’re aware of Audrey’s secrets from the start, Derek’s truth takes a bit longer to reveal. And when it is you’ll find the wait was well worth it.
I liked these characters, I had such fun with this book… and you should be reading it for yourself. I’d recommend Lie To Me for any Romance reader who likes to unlock secrets, enjoys banter and steam, as well as enjoying a really good story.
