Title: Lies

Author: Kylie Scott

Betty Dawsey knows that breaking things off with Thom Lange is for the best. He’s nice, but boring, and their relationship has lost its spark. But steady and predictable Thom, suddenly doesn’t seem so steady and predictable when their condo explodes and she’s kidnapped by a couple of crazies claiming that Thom isn’t who he says he is.

Thom is having a hellish week. Not only is he hunting a double agent, but his fiancé dumped him, and thanks to his undercover life, she’s been kidnapped.

Turns out Thom is Operative Thom and he’s got more than a few secrets to share with Betty if he’s going to keep her alive. With both their lives on the line, their lackluster connection is suddenly replaced by an intense one. But in his line of work, feelings aren’t wanted or desired. Because feelings can be a lethal distraction.

‘It turns out that being in a relationship with the wrong person can be even lonelier.’

Never a truer word spoken Betty, I thought to myself when she finds herself with a fiancee who is basically emotionally detached……..and then her world explodes….literally……

This was such a fun read! A lot of action, drama, secrets and an epic flop of a relationship that does a quick 360!

Betty is hilarious and it was great seeing confident (almost robotic!) Thom struggle with his emotions! But I loved him……

‘I don’t think anyone’s undressed me since I was a child.

I undress you constantly in my mind, if that counts.’
