Lee Piper is a new-to-me author but since I am such a huge fan of Rockstar romance, I had to read Lie to Me. Words cannot express how grateful to Lee Piper I am for giving me the opportunity to read a advance copy of Lie to Me. Initially, I learned about Lie to Me from social media but before I knew it, authors who I work with were speaking about their anticipation for this upcoming release. Now that I have been able to read her work, I am determined to find the time to read her previously published books because I was so enchanted with Lie to Me.

There are countless reasons that an author’s ability to self-publish have changed the game for avid readers. To me the greatest advantage self-publishing presents is in just how many new authors I have found over the last 8 years. Authors whose words grip my heart tightly and with whom I fall in-love with their stories and characters – much like I now love Lee Piper and her stunning abilities! As a blogger and editor, the rewards are two-fold. First, I get to indulge my love of reading and second, I get more chances to step outside the box than I used to when I was just a reader. Not only have I discovered just how varied the talents of a self-published author are from the more traditionally published authors of our past, but I have also experienced unique writing styles and voices that led to me to pursue genres and tropes that I had not in the past. Really, how much more win-win can it get?

As my first book by Lee Piper, I went into Lie to Me with a completely open mind. While reading Shiloh and Reid’s story, I got lost in the beauty of a wholly unique romance – a rarity at times when you read a book a day. Lie to Me led me through a variety of emotions as the story unveiled before my eyes and I truly could not put down my kindle. As I mentioned, the plot was unique, and I felt like it was also well-paced. I didn’t grow bored or skip over portions of the book in order to get to the good stuff… I loved how well I understood Shiloh – her happiness, pain, fears and the other complexities about her that Lie to Me explored. She was quick to doll out snarky comments to deflect the other characters in the story from guessing her secrets. But, she was also sweet and incredibly loyal to her family and extended family. Her character really spoke to me as a woman. On the other hand, Reid was the sexy as hell, dirty talking, ‘misunderstood’ asshole – my favorite kind of alpha and romance hero! Regardless of just how much Reid portrayed an asshole, his actions spoke louder than his words – a very good thing since the story is told strictly through Shiloh’s eyes. The chemistry between Shiloh and Reid was H.A.W.T! If you are reading Lie to Me, be prepared to need a cold shower! The banter between them added to their chemistry and Reid instinctively knew when to push Shiloh and when to pull back. His distraction techniques are something I wish my own husband would pick up on for sure! Another source of joy I found in this story was the addition of outstanding supporting characters. Lee Piper wrote a story that exhibited a very realistic comrade amongst the two bands–friendships that held true over the possibility of fame–thus making the story more fulfilling. While they were in competition with one another, they acknowledged repeatedly that they had a solid foundation of friendship.

Overall, I loved Lie to Me and can’t wait for more of Shiloh and Reid’s story in future works by Lee Piper. I know that without a doubt I will be social media stalking Lee Piper for more of her work, especially the Raising Stars series! This is a rockstar romance that will leave you in-love with a new author, so I sincerely hope that my review helps future readers in deciding to one-click Lie to Me and get started reading!!!
