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.

I’ve wanted this mans story for soooo long & holy hell has Lauren Rowe given me a doozy of a read. I prayed she we bring her ultimate A game with this trilogy & seriously, if book one is anything to go by, she is going to blow all my expectations out of the park.
Reed Rivers is a true enigma. Rude, rough & smoulderingly sinful in every way. This is one man who really did leave we wanting his very own version of heaven to my greedy little self lol. I loved his sharp tongue & his smooth words, but I utterly swooned over his dominant, cocky aholery
Georgia is everything I wanted for Reed. Young, beautiful with so much fire she will burn him to his core. Man, has he met his match lol. I loved her defiance, her challenging nature & her ability to maintain her integrity in the face of something,,, or someone ..l so damn tempting.
Amazing read. Couldn’t put it down, now I just have to wait for the next instalment. Bring on round 2 LR
I’ve been a long-time reader of Lauren Rowe. I was introduced to her work when I read Ball Peen Hammer when in first came out in 2016 and have since read all of the Morgan Brothers books. I haven’t read the Josh & Kat trilogy nor The Club series, but I own all the physical editions of those books. One of my all-time favorite NAs is Lauren’s Misadventures of a College Girl.
Having read all of the Morgan Brothers books, I’m familiar with Reed Rivers. He’s an important secondary character in a couple of the books, but I wouldn’t say I was clamoring for his own book. After reading Rockstar, I was hoping Lauren would write books about the guys in 22 Goats or even the members of Red Car Riot. But, when I heard that Lauren was writing Reed’s story next I did a happy dance because I wasn’t quite read to leave the Morgan clan yet. I’ve gotten quite attached to them and I knew a book about Reed means we’ll get to see glimpses of the Morgans and their friends because Reed is quite close to the family.
Well, it turned out Reed Rivers is getting a trilogy and I knew we were in for a HUGE treat and I was right! Bad Liar is the first book in the trilogy and what an explosive start it was. Even though Reed was a secondary in a lot of the Morgan books, I only knew him as a successful and mega rich music mogul who can be kind of an asshole sometimes. We got his some of his origin story in Bad Liar and see how he became the way he was. Reed is not an easy man. He can read people very quickly and has no problem being an asshole to those he thinks doesn’t deserve his time. He needed a strong woman who can stand her ground and can give it right back to Reed.
Georgina “Georgie” Ricci is exactly that woman and she’s the perfect match for Reed. She may be young, but Georgie has spunk and determination and she doesn’t take any bullshit from anybody. She knows what she wants and goes after it. I absolutely loved Georgie! She’s the type you want in your corner in a fight because she goes hard for those she loves, especially her family.
The banter and chemistry between Reed and Georgie was next level from Lauren! She gets better and better with every book she writes, and Bad Liar is her best yet in terms of the banter and the spark between Reed and Georgie that fairly leaps off the page. Bad Liar is an excellent start to the series that left me rejoicing that it’s a trilogy because that means we’ll have even more time with Reed and Georgie, both of whom I’ve become quite obsessed with. These two! They’re something else together and I can’t wait to see what happens next, especially after that ending! Thank goodness the wait between each book won’t be too long.
Feel free to pick up Bad Liar even if you haven’t read the Morgan Brothers books, or any of Lauren’s previous books. It’s a complete standalone! Actually, Bad Liar is a great book to pick up if you’re new to Lauren Rowe because you’ll get a feel for her style and her characters at the start of a whole new series!
Five Alarm Fire!
This book featuring Georgie and Reed has crazy hot chemistry. Their easygoing flirty nature makes them an appealing pair. He is a possessive alpha asshole in all the best ways, swoony and sweet in all the others. Don’t discredit Miss Georgie with her sass and outspoken nature.
They give each other a run for their money. Really an intriguing dynamic between the two and you can’t help but be sucked in.
These two come alive on the pages and cause sparks to fly from your device as you venture into the foundation of their budding relationship.
Definitely looking forward to book two and seeing what level of scorcher these two emit!
I’m obsessed in love with Reed Rivers!
I always knew there was something mysterious about him but after reading Bad Liar….I’ll be a Reed Rivers Groupie for LIFE!
I pictured Reed just as the cover model as I read and omg I can’t wait for this book on Audible because I know it will be panty melty to listen to.
Author Lauren Rowe blew my mind with this book.
I felt every single word come to life while I read
It is pure, raw, no hold barred in your face with shock value that will leave you saying OMG countless times.
Also your heart will be swooning at all the things you never thought a man like Reed Rivers could be.
Georgina is my new favorite heroine Author Lauren Rowe has created.
Her feisty, confident, and strong attitude is soo much fun to read.
She is Reed’s match as well as he is her.
Their chemistry is soo Explosive hot!
I can’t wait to see what happens in the next 2 books because this book was a perfect warm up of what is to come between these two!
Everyone will be claiming Reed & I’m okay to share for 10 seconds…then Mine, Mine, Mine
Go One Click it because Reed Rivers says Yes, Yes, Yes!
5 popped!
Bad Liar is the type of book that you will want to clear your schedule for because once you crack open those pages, you won’t want to put it down until you devoured every last word.
Reed Rivers has surpassed all of my expectations. He is that intriguing. As the ruler of the music world with the “Midas touch”, Reed is the epitome of arrogance, sex, and success. With a somewhat abrasive nature and oozing in sensuality, I am reveling in how the author is slowly pealing back the layers to reveal why he is the way he is.
Reed has met his match with Georgina (Georgie) and it is near impossible not to love her. The girl is quite the saucy spitfire and keeps this music mogul on his toes. She is sassy, possesses a backbone, and also has a hint of vulnerability about her.
Theirs is a game of seduction wrought with sexual tension and flirty banter. The sparks between these two are electrifying and I cannot wait to see how it all unfolds.
Bad Liar is book 1 in a standalone trilogy so it does end in a cliffhanger, but I for one don’t mind as it just means we get that much more Reed and Georgie. This book is a phenomenal read that captivated me right from the first page and kept me enthralled due to this author’s brilliant storytelling and impressive character development.
OMFG! Where do I even start?? How do I even start? Bad Liar is book one in the very highly anticipated stand alone Reed Rivers trilogy. I have known all along it was going to be epic, but knowing it and experiencing it are two different things! Lauren Rowe has taken things to a new level. Just when you think she can’t get any better (because she is already so talented) she digs down and and produces this brilliant book that I can’t get enough of. Reed is everything, absolutely everything. And Georgie? She is sassy and exactly what Reed needs in his life! The two together? Explosive and Dynamite! Bam! The writing is brilliant. The characters are amazing. This book will give you absolutely all of the feels. Even though I knew it would be amazing, I was blown away by it. 5 stars is not enough!!
It’s been a while since a book came out by this author and it’s not my first read by her. The beginning of the book was a bit slow for me and couldn’t get into it right away although it had a good plot and the writing by the author just draws you into the story. I enjoyed the chemistry between Georgina and Reed but most definitely the feistiness of Georgina throughout this first book. I defnitely can’t wait to read the next two in this trilogy as I really want to know how it ends!
Georgina is about to graduate from college with a journalism degree but needs to find a job to not only keep herself afloat but also doing the best she can for her family. When she and Reed meet, there’s this undeniable chemistry between them right off the bat but there’s something about him that makes her want to run the other way although she can’t help but feel the attraction that makes her want to stay. When an opportunity arises, she’ll do whatever she can to fully stay on top of it all. Reed will do everything in his power to make sure he’ll always have the upperhand, but will it be enough to have the one thing that he so desperately wants?…
At last, Reed Rivers book is finally here and delivered on a scrumptious silver platter to devour in one sitting. The wait has been worth it. Lauren Rowe has outdone herself in book one of Reed’s trilogy. Reed is one fine, sexy, alpha male that can pretty much have anything he wants. What happens when something he wants pushes back, he wants it more. Georgina knows exactly what she wants and is determined to go after it. Their personalities align and make for such an instant, hot, off the charts chemistry. Their story has so much depth to it and I absolutely cannot wait to see where it goes. It is so easy to get lost in the music world Lauren has created. Bad Liar is truly one of my favorite stories. Dive in asap. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!!!
Bad Liar is like nothing I have read by this author before. I’m not sure what I was expecting but it came as a complete surprise to me. It really packs a punch right from the start and I have to admit, I’m not sure yet whether I actually like Reed Rivers. He’s definitely an interesting character but I’m reserving my judgment for now. It would be easy to take him at face value, I feel, but I’m finding him quite a multifaceted, multilayered character. Definitely arrogant and self centred, he’s also hugely cynical and his life experiences have made him somewhat hardened to any kind of sentimentality. He’s the kind of man who snaps his fingers and expects things to be done. However, he’s also rather damaged and I believe there’s a part of him, some deeper need in him, that wants to find a special someone who believes he is worthy of being loved. If only he could trust someone to accept him for who he is and not have ulterior motives. Someone genuine, who can make him forget that “everyone’s got a price”.
Now Georgina, she’s a different kettle of fish all together, and I warmed to her immediately. Strong and feisty, with a great sense of humor, she’s not one to back down and I loved her loyalty, not to mention her grit and determination. Yes, her youthfulness shows itself at times, but I applaud her drive, her boldness, her sense of self and her take no nonsense attitude. I certainly admire her problem solving skills not to mention the effect she has on River. You can almost see them combust when they’re in the same room together. Sexual chemistry, more like sexual incendiary! The push and pull between the two of them is fantastic. It’s like watching a fencing match with the thrust and parry between them, both stubborn and each giving as good as they get.
I really enjoyed the explosive first part of this couple’s journey. It’s fun and funny, sexy and frustrating. There is so much more to their story and I’m very excited to see where they go next.
The player meets his match…
I can’t breathe. The dynamics and sexual tension between Reed and Georgie are so intense I found myself breaking out in goosebumps. Reed is the most egotistical, insolent, high handed man you would ever not want to meet. But he is also sultry, seductive, provocative and blunt, oh and definitely easy on the eyes.
Georgie hates and wants Reed in every bad way. Reed thinks he can tame this much younger woman, but he has met his mirror image in Georgie. She is fiery, brassy and fearless and can hold her own with Reed. Reed finds her strength a huge turn on and has him spiraling out of his comfort zone. Reed definitely has his work cut out for him, he has never had to put the work in to try to win over a woman before.
I am so happy that Lauren Rowe has made this a trilogy because I am sure there are tumultuous hazards ahead with these two. I say bring it on!!!!
This is Lauren Rowe’s best yet! I loved getting dropped right into the world of Reed Rivers and can not wait to see how this story continues to unfold. Reed has appeared in other books by Lauren Rowe, but this is a completely new series and you do not need to have read nor will you miss anything if you start with Bad Liar.
Georgina might not believe in love at first sight but my Girl Crush on her was immediate. I get her and I love her. She is fiery and full of heart. Bonus-she is self-aware and loves herself…#girlcrush! Reed Reed Reed. I don’t even know where to start. Maybe I shouldn’t be as into him as I am because yeah he can be a bit abrasive but I am. From the get I was floored by his story and the man behind the music mogul with the Midas touch. There is Nothing basic about this man or his curtness.
The banter between these two is on point and the chemistry white hot. I absolutely need the next book ASAP and can hardly wait to listen to this audible.
5 Stars to Start bring on the rest!
The Reed Rivers Trilogy started out with a bang. These two amazing characters have you wanting more and more. There is amazing chemistry and sparks. These characters were brilliantly written and I am so glad we get two more books of these two.
During this first book Bad Liar we really get to dig a little deeper to see what Reed is all about, which I loved. For me though Georgina made this story. She is a strong, don’t take any crap kind of women with sass to match. Georgina is becoming one of my favorite female character ever written.
I absolutely love this book!
Reed and Georgina’s interactions had me laughing at times and fanning myself at the chemistry between them at others. I was pulled in from the very first sentence and cannot wait for the continuation of their fantastic story.
Reed and Georgie get a resounding yes, yes, yes from me. Bad Liar is Lauren Rowe at her best. Witty, addicting and wildly sexy, I am a thousand percent obsessed with this book.
If you’ve read Lauren Rowe’s Club series or Morgan Brother series (Bad Liar is a complete standalone.) then you’ve seen glimpse of Reed Rivers here and there. And I’m sure, like me, you were just dying to get his story. Well, I can wholeheartedly say he doesn’t disappoint. I am well on my way to being owned by Reed Rivers. Yes, he’s the arrogant, headstrong, confident asshole I expected him to be. However, he’s never a jerk just to be a jerk. He doesn’t do anything with malice. His confidence comes from being great at his job. He’s a ruthless businessman but a genuine guy nonetheless. There is a side to Reed he only shows to those close to him that I find to be extremely attractive. I don’t think I could get enough of him.
He has met his match with Georgina Ricci. This gorgeous, sassy, fabulous woman is everything. She is my favorite kind of heroine. Honest, brilliant and real. I am absolutely obsessed with her spirit and her attitude. I love how she just owns her sexuality. She knows what she wants and goes after it. I’ve developed quite a girl crush on Miss Ricci.
These two together…good lord…. It doesn’t get hotter. They radiate sex and compatibility. They’re fire. The push and pull between them is so deliciously perfect. I can feel their connection come off the screen into my soul. I haven’t had this much of a craving for a story in a long time. I am going crazy with the need for more Reed and Georgie. It is physically hurting my heart not knowing what happens next. I can’t wait to continue this couple’s story in Beautiful Liar and Beloved Liar.
