Her Dream Didn’t Include Falling in Love
Lily has a dream, a dream of a big house without lies, a place of refuge for runaway girls. She knows what it’s like to grow up feeling unloved, and she now fills every space in her tiny apartment with endangered teens. They don’t have everything they need, but together they have enough.
Or so she thinks—until she meets Jameson and glimpses the … Jameson and glimpses the mysterious something between them that just might mean real love.
Jameson, who works as a teen counselor, believes the only way Lily can really help the girls is by certifying as a foster parent and going through the system. But becoming legitimate may mean losing some of the girls to the families who threw them away, and Lily hasn’t worked hard to save the teens only to abandon them now.
It seems Jameson will be one more entry on the very long list of things Lily has given up for the girls. What other choice is there when she is all they have?
When two of the teens’ fathers come looking for them, and another one’s mother plans to put her daughter in danger, Lily’s life spins out of control. They need a new home—and fast. A safe place. A house without lies.
Editorial note: House Without Lies is a clean, contemporary romance with a satisfying ending (no cliffhanger). There are currently two sequels that tell the stories of other characters connected with Lily’s House: Tell Me No Lies and Your Eyes Don’t Lie. Another novel and several novellas are in the works.

A great romantic read.
This is a story that shows there are still values. Both main characters are altruistic and know how to control their instincts. The series should prove quite positive.
Grateful
This is a beautiful story about a young woman who wanted to help people. She has been picking up stray girls for awhile, but he girl has been running away from some kind of abuse. She comes from money, works part time in her father’s company and go to college. But she would rather be able to give the girls safety and love over comfort. I enjoyed how she fights for what is right and finds love and help.

Heart warming, clean romance
This is a clean and heart warming romance. It is also a tale of riches to rags, heartache to heart full. The author does a nice job of bringing the ugliness of child abuse to light without really making the reader feel all of the pain. It could, however, be a trigger for some readers. It covers topics such as domestic violence, rape and incest. This author generally produces a quality product.That is why I don’t understand her using the term nationality when she should say heritage. These terms are not interchangeable and do not have the same meaning..I am going to read the rest of the series as soon as possible! I bought this book and this is my honest review.
