Swallowing lies has never felt so good.Reed freaking Rivers. I wouldn’t trust a word out of the arrogant music mogul’s mouth if his gold-plated tongue were notarized. The Man with the Midas Touch would say anything to get me into his bed, and I know it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want him to succeed. Indeed, the moment I laid eyes on Reed while he was speaking at an on-campus event I’d … speaking at an on-campus event I’d crashed, my body physically ached to feel his golden fingers—and tongue—all over me. Unfortunately, though, I can’t give into my powerful craving to jump Reed’s cocky bones. Not until I’ve figured out my best strategy with him …
The truth is Reed has something I desperately want. Something my heart desires even more than my body craves one night of delicious fun with the yummiest man alive. Reed assumes he’s running this game of seduction. He thinks he’s a thirty-four-year-old big cat on the prowl, and I’m nothing but a blushing twenty-one-year old field mouse with stars in my eyes.
Yeah… no.
As Reed is about to find out, he’s not the only cat on the hunt in this game of cat-and-mouse… .
BAD LIAR is the first book of the standalone REED RIVERS TRILOGY. The full trilogy is BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR, to be read in order.

First of 3 books. This one whets the appetite for Reed…
He’s always been cocky. Gruff. But I always wanted to know more.
And now his story is finally here!!
He wants things his way and he wants it now. After all, he’s got the money and power. His good looks don’t hurt either.
Little does he expect to meet a feisty twenty-something who sparks his interest in more than a one night stand or his usual cold arrangements.
Except his usual smooth moves are not working with Georgina. He finds himself almost obsessed. And Reed Rivers does not get obsessed.
So obsessed he manipulates things so he can see her again.
Georgina is fiery, intelligent, and has the same hustle as Reed, just with a decade or so less polish.
I can’t wait to see how she twists him into knots.
I love seeing into his backstory. Ready for book two!!
I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
When I found out we were getting an entire trilogy surrounding Reed Rivers, I instantly had both high hopes for this amazing man and high expectations for his story. Lauren Rowe did not let me down!
Every time we’ve seen Reed, he’s this suave, put-together businessman that lets nothing rattle him. And while the first two descriptions are completely accurate, the last is a bit more complicated. Turns out he’s human just like the rest of us. And there’s definitely more to Reed than meets the eye. Of course, he’s devilishly sexy and irritatingly charming, which we already knew. But underneath all that alpha hotness he’s actually really funny and quite quirky. I need more of him.
Georgina is my new favorite heroine. She’s strong, unfiltered, and unafraid. She’s tough, through and through. Watch out for this one. She has no problems doing what she needs in order to get what she wants. Her stubborn streak often causes her trouble and she challenges Reed in ways he’s never imagined. She’s a force to be reckoned with.
This is only the first of the three-part story and I’m already hooked. Reed and Georgie are explosive together. They’re in a constant battle of wills and watching them negotiate, manipulate, and bargain their way through everything is highly entertaining. Warning: this couple is highly addictive and once you start reading, you won’t want to stop. It’s going to be torture to wait for more of their story!
I can never say enough good things about a Lauren Rowe book. She has such an amazing way with words and draws you in from that very first line. I have absolutely loved every single book Lauren has written and this one is absolutely no different, except for the fact that I have been impatiently waiting for Reed Rivers and I finally can say we have him!!!
Reed “The Man with the Midas Touch” Rivers (that cracks me up by the way!) knows he can get what he wants, when he wants it, however he wants it and that’s just how it is. Well, that is until he meets a certain Georgie who has him undeniably on his toes. You can tell Reed is smitten from the moment he meets her and he is going to conquer her at any cost.
Georgie is freaking awesome! Everyone should take some tips from this woman. She doesn’t take any sh-t from anyone and when Reed comes along she knows that he will be no different in those terms. It doesn’t matter how sexy he is, or how much she wants him, she will not put up with his crap, period.
From the second these two met to the last page of this installment, their chemistry is completely off the charts and I cannot wait to see where their journey takes us.
This is the first book in The Reed Rivers Trilogy, and the story of Reed, and Georgina. When Reed, and Georgina meet they have immediate chemistry, and it explodes out of the pages, and pulls you in for an amazing ride. This book was so well written, the characters are captivating, and this story drew me in, and kept me glued to the pages until the end. This was emotional, raw, entertaining, witty, steamy, and sexy. I highly recommend this book, and can’ t wait to read book two.
Bad Liar is the most I’ve enjoyed despising a character! Such a wonderful start to a new trilogy, I’m counting down the days until the next one releases. It’s worth signing up for Kindle Unlimited just for the three books in this series alone! Don’t miss out on this story, I guarantee it’ll be one you revisit again and again.
No lies here, I loved this book! 5 stars
Holy smokes, this book gave me life! This is a stand-alone book/series, but I had high expectations for Reed Rivers since he has a been a side character in a lot of Lauren Rowe books that I have read. These high expectations were surpassed in the first chapter! I was shocked in the best way in the first chapter at Reed’s character, because I simultaneously thought he was a jerk but then totally felt for him. I wanted to slap him then hug him! Getting to peel back some of his layers made me feel for him so much. Then it was off to the highly entertaining races after the first chapter! Georgina (aka Georgie) was a sassy, feisty, smart, quick-witted, funny woman who gave Reed a run for his money which he loved, and I instantly loved her and felt for her. Their chemistry was crackling and smoking hot flames from the beginning, and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to see how their story unfolded! By the end of this book, my heart was literally beating faster, because I was that invested and captivated by their story. Georgie and Reed were addicted to each other like a drug, and I am addicted to this story! I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2, because, no lies needed, I loved this book and highly recommend it!
*I received an advanced copy of this ebook from Candi Kane PR for my honest review.*
Sexy, sassy, smart! Fabulous writing that drew me in with the spectacular characters and the sizzling push/pull between would be lovers, Reed and Georgina. Terrific, smart banter between the ultimate hot AF a-hole and self-made businessman Reed, the owner of Rivers Records, and the luscious, sassy budding journalist and recent college grad, Georgie. Little does she know how far he will go to have her in his bed but she’s no push over regardless of their smoking hot chemistry. I was swooning when Reed turned it on in his attempts to melt Georgie’s panties and get the yes, yes, yes he so wanted. I loved their negotiations and the teaching moments between the two. And when they finally reached a settlement it was scorching! Right when Reed and Georgie got to their moment of hotness the story was over. I’m not a fan of serials but I’m waiting with baited breath to see what transpires between the feisty, smart music journalist and the older sex god business owner and their off-the-charts chemistry. Fast moving, quick read with the exciting rock n roll backdrop and fantastic characters. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
Okay where to start with this review….. I mean I am blown away by this book. This is the first book I have read by this author and I have to say that she blew it out the water for me. I started reading and I couldn’t stop. Once I started reading I was so engrossed in what I was reading that I fell hard and fast for Reed Rivers and Georgie.
This is one of those books that you have to read to enjoy the fullness of it. Reed is known to have the Midas Touch and everything he touches turns into gold but there is more to him than meets the eye and when he lays eyes on Georgie she just doesn’t fall into bed with him like every other girl would. She gives Reed a run for his money and she is not shy about giving it to him and giving it to him good.
This is one series I know I am going to love and I am going to re-read over and over again just to get my taste of Reed Rivers.

Reed and Georgiana’s story is phenomenal, I am in love with them. I am a fan of Lauren Rowe so I absolutely had to read this one. Music mogul meets college graduate from journalism. The chemistry is off the charts, the angst is perfectly balanced, the characters are the best and the story is majestic. I can’t wait to read the rest of this trilogy, I will be hearing the audiobook next as well, I loved it that much.
YES!!!! I am absolutely in LOVE with this! Reed and Georgie, OMG, they are off the charts! Lauren Rowe captivated me with this one and I am SO ready for more. Their chemistry was on point. I loved their banter and how well they played off of each other. I was already intrigued by Reed and knew I would love him even more once we got his story, but Georgie, man do I love her character! The two of them are fire. This is a slow burn, but man was this slow burn done right! This was one scorching hot ride and I can’t wait for it to continue.

I have been waiting for Reed’s story for a loooong time. And well, this is just the start. As in, there are three books to tell his story.
I was always fascinated with the mysterious music mogul who was pulling strings in the background and doesn’t take any sh*t. He still doesn’t, and is shown as both vulnerable in his youth and strong on his stance – no matter how it impacts others.
Georgina is a hustler. She does it all, and won’t be turned away or put down. I admire her attitude and fighting for herself.
Georgina and Reed seem like very headstrong, stubborn, convinced of their own actions always being right kind of characters. Rough diamonds, and I am curious to see if they polish each other to be smoother, or blow up in fireworks. I’m better on the latter.
Lauren Rowe takes you on a journey that I did not expect in any way at all. It’s crazy and interesting and has barely started. Looking forward to seeing where it goes next.
Bad Liar is like a sparing match, Reed Rivers and Georgina Ricci come out strong and need to use their skills to navigate each other…. this book is powerful and once you start reading…. you just can’t stop!
I love Lauren Rowe’s writing and Bad Liar does not disappoint!This book can be read as a stand-alone but if you’ve read other Lauren Rowe books- you have met Reed. He’s strong and confident and knows what he wants and how to get it. And in Bad Liar we start to see part of why Reed is the way he is.
Georgina is one of the best female characters I’ve read in a long time. She’s drawn to Reed but doesn’t let his confidence change who she is.
I have no idea what is going to happen in book 2 and 3 but I am so excited and ready to read the rest of their story!!
Title: Bad Liar
Author: Lauren Rowe
Series: The Reed Rivers Trilogy #1
Rating: 6 stars
First things first-There are NO words to adequately describe the amazingness that this book possessed. But, I do have three words for you-Oh. My. Goshhhhhh!!! This book was absolutely magical. I know I say this with every book Ms. Rowe writes, but she continues to outdo herself every single time.
I refuse to spoil anything but I will say that these characters came to life for me in this story. Reed and Georgie have this undeniable chemistry that you feel coming through the pages. Reed was everything I thought he was going to be-totally alpha with a heart of gold. And Georgie…she was headstrong, independent, and sassy as hell. I fell in love with both of them from the very beginning and was completely enraptured with their story. I seriously cannot wait to see where Ms. Rowe takes this journey and I am so excited for book 2!
The chemistry between Reed and Georgiana literally sparks off the page. The banter, sass and confidence of Georgie is so refreshing. Georgie has a vision in mind for her life and romantic entanglements are not one of them. I find it empowering that she is clearly not looking for her prince charming to sweep her off her feet. Her life is going to be amazing because she is going to get there with her hard work. I found it invigorating that that character of Georgie was so sex positive and sassy. Ms. Rowe wrote a young woman who was powerful and confident in her sexuality, which was completely refreshing. The only thing in destress in this story are maybe her jeans. I liked that Georgie verbally fought back and took as many shots as she could at Reed’s ego. Leveling the playing field between them. The explosiveness of her sass against Reed’s ego is one for the history books. I can only think of one other literary couple whose banter lit up the pages as much as Reed and Georgie’s do.
If you are looking for intense sexual chemistry, strong sexually woman, you will love Bad Liar by Lauren Rowe. I cannot wait for the continuation of their story in book 2. This is an absolute 5/5 stars for me. I almost took a star away for the cliff hanger because of my own desperation to see how the story turns out but quickly realized that is why the story gets to keep all 5 stars.
Reed is the owner of a media company. He meets Georgie at a college campus event that she has snuck into as a journalist. Georgia is the perfect foil for Reed. She’s sassy, determined and won’t take any of Reed’s crap. She also has a vulnerable side. Reed is older but far from the only one doing the seducing. The two have chemistry and their pasts are haunting them. An enjoyable read that I recommend. I can’t wait to read the next books in this series.
OMG!! Lauren has done it again with this epic new read!! Are you ready for the Reed Rivers Trilogy?? Get ready for a stunning read here!!
Reed Rivers is everything you thought he would be and then some…. dubbed ‘the man with the midas touch’ having worked his socks off to get where he is today from having nothing, but he doesn’t suffer fools, he’s straight talking, charismatic and dirty!! Relationships are a no go for him, no ties are essential, he’s learned that people want him for his money or to further their career so he’s very closed off and nothing about his personal life is let slip.
If you’ve read any of Lauren’s other books you will know just what type of man Reed is and how he behaves, and we always knew it would take an exceptional type of woman to worm her way into his life…..
Georgie has fought her way through college to get her journalism career off the ground, struggling with problems at home. But she is determined to make a go of her career. She didn’t even know who Reed was when they first met, but boy did she feel the connection, even across a crowded room!! But when chances are thrown her way to either spend time with Reed or get a chance at her dream career, she takes the career path, never dreaming she would meet him again! But he turns up at the bar where she works and their connection is simply electrifying!!
Georgie turns out to be the perfect match for Reed, she’s fiery and sassy, stands up to him and gives back as good as she gets, is effortlessly sexy, with an innocence and vulnerability about her that is like a siren call! But relationships are a no-no, her career has her full focus, so when Reed appears in her life and literally steals her breath and she loses her mind over him, she is left in a daze!
Their connection is just so intense, just talking and pushing each other’s buttons was hot as hell, but when the eventually get together it’s enough to set the room on fire!! I just can’t wait to see how these two get on together and whether Georgie will manage to peel back Reed’s layers and discover the person underneath the persona!!
This trilogy is going to be just dynamite…. the characters, the emotions, the connections…. you just can’t help but be fully immersed in this story line, hanging on Lauren’s every word, I can certainly see these two turning out to be one of my favourite set of characters that Lauren has written about, you just can’t help but fall in love with Reed and Georgie, your heart hammering, you’re slightly breathless and a little tingly after making that connection yourself with these two!
These books are easily read as a standalone, it’s not necessary to have read any of Lauren’s other books before you start these, but boy will you want to!! A stunning read in every way, magical, emotional and intense, get some Reed Rivers in your system today!! One of my favourites so far this year!!
I’ve been straight up hibernating on Lauren Rowe. I can’t believe I’m just now reading one of her books. Why it took me this long, I don’t know. But now I just want to inhale all her previous books and obviously desperately need the second book in The Reed Rivers Triolgy, STAT!
Reed Rivers is brash, harsh and an a**hole in all sense of the word. He’s been dealt a sh***y hand and because of that it’s made him the man he is now. He worked his way from the bottom to become the successfully rich and powerful man that he is. He’s made a name for himself just like he always said he would. I was captivated by Reed right from the start. I was hypnotized by him and his allure and just needed to know everything about him—especially what made him tick. He’s a magnetic force and I couldn’t help but be trapped in his haze.
Georgina (Georgie) is exceptional. She’s sassy, tough, and doesn’t take anyone’s sh*t, that especially includes Reed. She’s hardworking and determined to make her dream of becoming an investigative journalist a reality. She’s the perfect blend of sweet and sexy. She’s a spitfire and a fiery badass. I loved that she had a backbone, but that she also showed her vulnerable side. I freaking loved her!
Georgie and Reed were everything explosive. Their chemistry is off the charts and their attraction is undeniable. I loved their banter so much and their flirting had me ravenous. They were so hot together and at the same time so sensual. There’s a deep emotion to Reed and Georgie and so much more to be discovered. I can’t wait for all their layers to be peeled back and see what exactly is underneath.
Bad Liar hooked me from the start. I became so immersed in Reed and Georgie’s story and they completely owned me. I love these two characters so much and I desperately need more. I can’t wait for the other two books in this trilogy. I crave more of this epicness Lauren has impeccably created.
MUST READ
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
Wow! I DEVOURED this book! I could not put it down. Holy hell, the chemistry between Reed and Georgina is hot, crazy hot! Their flirting/seducing had even me panting.
I really want to dislike Reed Rivers but I find I can’t. He intrigues me and you just know there is so much more to him buried beneath the surface. You need the right person to be able to dig deep enough and I am really hoping that person is Georgie. She is not afraid to speak her mind and can dish it right back. He might have met his match.
I cannot wait to see where this journey takes them. I need more now!!
