The more beautiful the lie, the more painful the truth… shock, I’m beginning to think she’s not the only addict here. Any more than she’s the only liar. In fact, as crazy as it sounds, this fiery, relentless woman has been breaking down my walls. Burrowing underneath my skin and slithering her way into my bloodstream.
Indeed, when it comes to the indomitable force of nature that is Georgina Ricci, the gorgeous woman can have anything her heart desires… Well, anything, that is, besides the truth.
BEAUTIFUL LIAR is the second book of the standalone REED RIVERS TRILOGY. The full trilogy is BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR, to be read in order.

Oh this story!! This story starts right where Bad Liar left off. The continuing story of Reed and Georgina is angsty, mysterious and hella hot!
The steamy scenes between Reed and Georgina made me blush and swoon and clutch my proverbial pearls and grabbing my fan! Absolutely amazing.
I love the tenacity of Georgina to dig deep into the background of Reed. I like how she is able to get Reed to open up. But some of the secrets she is keeping may just come back to bite her later!
The relationship between Reed and Georgina really starts to flourish and go deep. The way that Georgina has opened up to Reed and show her vulnerability is beautiful to read.
Reed is still holding himself back and it’s killin me!! He is so set in his ways and he thinks his actions are for the greater good. He has this internal righteousness that has fueled him for so long that he becomes almost blind to the consequences of his actions.
Oh the ending of this story is going to haunt you until the final story comes out!! I am so looking forward to the finale!
I have read everything that Ms. Rowe has written and this series is one of the best I have read from her!! Get your hands on this story and this series! It’s amazing!
Reed Rivers- Music Mogul
Georgina Ricci- Aspiring Journalist
OMG! Bad Liar was off the chains hot, but…
Beautiful Liar is off the charts HOT!!!
Throughout this book, from beginning to end, I got misty eyed, I laughed, I got angry and mad, I bawled my eyes out.
This book is everything
Lauren Rowe is exceptional in her storytelling. 2 books down and 1 to go, with Beloved Liar, which I’m so very excited about, I could just about spit, to read.
There is absolutely NO WAY, I can give this book anything less than 5 stars.
So happy to be able to spend more time with Reed & Georgina! So hot and sexy. Loved this book as much as the first. Can Reed Rivers be a real person? Please? Excellent narration by Jacob Morgan & Andi Arndt.
Yet again I couldn’t put this book down! From page one we pick up with Reed and Georgina and where book one leaves off. Their journey continues as we learn more about each of them and their story together. It’s full of steam, anger, rage, laughter, and falling into a Hollywood elite.
I couldn’t stop reading and as soon as the book ended I needed more. I can’t wait to see how their story ends in book three.
I received an ARC copy of this from the author and her team, so thank you. My unbiased review is below.
I thought I had Reed and Georgie all figured out with Bad Liar.
I. Was. Dead. Wrong.
This one blew me away. And considering I was already blown away by Bad Liar, I didn’t think I had socks strong enough to be blown off by Beautiful Liar.
I. Was. Dead. Wrong.
Now I don’t like admitting I was wrong once let alone twice in one book review. But I’ve done it. Lauren Rowe hooks you in Bad Liar. But what she does with this story in book 2? She staples you to the cork board wall and makes you watch the magic she works putting pen to paper.
AND. SHE’S. NOT. DONE. YET.
Oh no. Book three is coming.
And I thought I was prepared after book 1. I foolishly thought I had this trilogy mentally in the bag.
I. Was. Dead. Wrong.
Because I’m not ready for book 3. But I want it. No. I need it. Please. Can I has?

The more beautiful the lie, the more painful the truth . . .
I’ve finally got feisty Georgina right where I want her.
I loved reading this book, I loved the story line that was addictive, I loved the sex that was beyond hot and I loved the characters. But I have to admit there is something about Georgina’s character that really pi**ed me off. Reed’s character is a little too possessive but still very sweet but Georgina is pretty immature she’s very strong in her opinion that she doesn’t want to be known as to be a “paid for woman or using Reed” But that is exactly what she does, she is only interested in getting recognition for her sister and furthering her own career so both characters are in fact using each other, only Georgina is the only one that has tantrums when she doesn’t get her own way. In saying that I did really like this book and that’s why I am now going to read the last one.
This book brings us closer to Georgie and Reed then we were in book 1, Bad Liar. We learn more about them and get to know them on a deeper level. Chemistry is still off-the-charts and the characters rock! Another fantastic book for sure! I couldn’t put these first two books down and I can’t wait to start book 3!!
Very Predictable. To say I’m disappointed is a bit of a stretch but that’s the best word I can currently think of. From the start of this book, I knew where it was going. And maybe it’s just me with the amount of books I’ve read… but I had high expectations for this series and I’m not impressed. The writing isn’t bad, there are a few overused phrases though. Or retelling of the same thing. Like yeah, we know, we read the book and the first chapter.
Clearly the book is about liars. And what I don’t particularly care for is the fact that some lies they’re okay with but others they aren’t. Ones that should be a big deal, aren’t. And ones that aren’t a big deal are. And I get that drama needs to happen to create a book, and the girl is only 21 years old but that age maturity doesn’t carry throughout the entire book.
But here I go into book three because I have to see how Reed fixes his much predictable screw up. Which I’m sure this next book… will be all about Reed finding a way to get Georgie to take him back… 300+ long pages to go…
Beautiful Liar was the second book in Lauren’s Reed Rivers Trilogy and needs to be read in order. It picked right up where Bad Liar ended and took off running. The passion, heat and emotions were in full effect. Make sure you have tissues handy, I bawled more than once!
Reed finally was able to convince Georgina to give him a chance. Would he be able to hold on to her or would his truths be his downfall?
So many feels! I absolutely loved Georgina’s determination – you go girl!! Reed needs to figure himself out before he looses everything! Ohhh…the cliffhanger!!
Audio Review:
Beautiful Liar (The Reed Rivers Trilogy #2) is a beautiful listen. I absolutely loved it as much as Bad Liar. The writing style is organic, the characters are compelling and the narrative is gripping. Looking forward to listening to the final audio in this captivating series.
Andi Arndt, Jacob Morgan did a fabulous performance with this audio. Everything flows through smoothly and flawlessly. Jacob Morgan has a absolute intoxicating intonation keeping you craving more.
Book two starts right where book one ends. Reed and Georgie have negotiated their terms of exploits and professionalism. Reed thinking he can give just enough info to appease the intrepid reporter in Georgie and make her think that she peeled back a layer of his onion. And Georgie thinks that she has negotiated a deal to get her everything she wants – pleasure, the story and the dream job. Both are extremely wrong and don’t realize how deep they both are falling.
So with the first book I was concerned with how drawn out it would be to make their story three books. Book two alleviated a lot of my concerns. With book two I actually got to see them fall. Both of them. I got to see them spend time together. I got to seem them navigate their feelings and deny what those feelings where and where they were going. I got to see them both realize that they didn’t want to deny those feelings anymore. I feel in love with Reed and Georgie just like they fell in love with each other . . . but shh don’t tell them that.
Reed, I am not sure how you over come this but I can’t wait to see it unfold in book three.
Beautiful Liar by Lauren Rowe is book Two in The Reed Rivers Trilogy. This continues the story of Georgina ‘Georgie’ and Reed Rivers, so you really need to read the previous book ‘Bad Liar’ to fully understand this book. This book is hotter than the last one if that is possible. Reed thinks he has the upper hand with Georgina but he is starting to see that maybe he is the one that is being caught. This book along with the previous one is so hard to put down you just want to keep reading. Of course this does not end their story so I hope to read the next installment soon in their story.
Loved it.
Holy hell it just keeps getting better and better. I was left wanting and needing more after finishing Bad Liar and I was not in the least disappointed. This book hangover is real and I’m aching for more Reed and Georgina, ASAP!
Georgina surpassed everything I felt for her in book one. I don’t know how, but she became even more feistier, sassier and smarter. And in this book we get to know Georgie inside and out. She’s so much more than what she appears to be. Georgie is vulnerable, kind, and sensitive all while still being the badass that she is. Honestly, Reed most definitely doesn’t stand a chance with her.
Reed is hotter than ever. Oh my that man sets fires and keeps them burning with his smolder and intensity. He’s still cocky, but under the mask he wears there’s sweetness to him and it left me swooning nonstop. The man with the Midas Touch is used to getting what he wants, when he wants it, but Georgie is going to have him rethinking everything he does. And if Reed wants Georgie, he’s going to have to get out of his own way before he loses his shot at true happiness.
Reed and Georgie are so hot together. They have such explosive chemistry and undeniable passion. These two are combustible and when they’re together—holy hotness. I’m obsessed with these two and my greedy a** needs more of them.
Beautiful Liar, The second book in The Reed Rivers Trilogy was everything brilliant and exhilarating. It captivated me and gripped me right from the start. I devoured every world in this page-turner and tried prolonging the ending because I did not want this book to end. It’s no question that Reed and Georgie are my favorite—I love them so much. Lauren outdid herself with this book and I can only imagine what she has in store for the final installment, Beloved Liar. I. Can’t. Wait.

Beautiful Liar is book two in this sizzling hot series and let me tell you, it’s the double the heat guys! Ohh wee!!
I thought this book couldn’t be hotter, sexier, intense but Ms Rowe just proved me wrong with her latest installment. I loved how this book focused on getting to know more our main characters, Georgie and Reed. These two, SMH. They are more than fire. They are goddamned explosives together. I couldn’t ask for more dynamic couple than these two insanely driven, passionate characters. Loved it and bring on book 3!!
Lauren Rowe has written what I now consider one of my favorite books. Bad Liar leaves the readers wondering what Lauren Rowe has in store for these potential lovers. We find out right from the beginning of Beautiful Liar. Reed Rivers is a music mogul and used to getting what he wants. Reed has worked his magic to get Georgina to be a part of his daily life as one of the reporters that are going to be interviewing him and the bands that perform under his music label. Georgina has recently graduated from college and looking forward to working under Cece in hopes to write and report for Dig A Little Deeper. Georgina is caught off guard when Cece informs Georgina that she will be working on the Reed Rivers edition and interviewing him herself. This is where the fun really starts. Georgina accepts the job and behind her interview with Reed in a very unconventional way. This leads to many sexy scenes and encounters with the two. Secrets and lies threaten to pull them apart as they begin to fall for each other.
Can Reed keep the truth from Georgina? Can Georgina keep her investigative skills in check and not hurt the man she has fallen for?
Beautiful Liar is a well-written romance that will intrigue you, pull you in and keep you guessing until the end of the book.
While they are getting closer, Reed is digging himself in deeper. His behind the scenes escapades may just be the end of everything he is growing to like about being with Georgina.
She let her guard down and began the fall. Now she wonders how to survive it.
The wonderful relationship they have built, the easy way their lives are intertwining, could make the revelations that much harder to take.
I am rooting for Reed and Georgie as a couple but I also want to shake Reed really hard and ask him the same question he asked himself. “What’s wrong with you?!”
I am so excited to see where he goes now after the fallout. Lauren Rowe, you are rocking this!
Holy smokes, I am smitten out of my mind with Reed and Georgie.
I have to say though that Owen has won my heart in this book. That man had me in stitches with his sarcasm and wittiness with his boss, Reed. I loved how he stood up to this man and told him how it is.
Georgina, my girl is just a feisty little thing that is such a smart cookie and even though it took her a while to figure sh*t out she finally did and with that the repercussions came in for Reed. Just when he thought she would never find out the truth about what he’s done, she goes and figures it out and now she’s one hot mess.
Both of them kept little white lies to themselves and it did nothing but bite them in the a$$, especially for Reed. He might have had good intentions and he can be a downright good person but he went about it all wrong and now it may cause him his relationship with Georgina.
These two are such a delight to read about and now I can’t wait to get the conclusion to what will happen with Reed and Georgina.
I still can’t get enough of Reed Rivers! This man has wormed his way under my skin in a way I didn’t expect he could and I absolutely adore him! The more we see him, the more amazing he gets. He’s so goofy and funny, quirky and charming – things I never would have expected from the buttoned-up, no-nonsense music mogul we’ve come to know and love. But, underneath it all, he still has that ability to infuriate you, hit you with brutal honesty (which isn’t always a good thing), and bend the truth to fit his will. In short, he can still be a jerk, but he’s a jerk you’re going to fall in love with and one you’ll hope figures it all his faults before it’s too late.
Being highly protective of Reed, I had a hard time with Georgina at the beginning of this one. I know she’s a journalist, and digging deep is what she’s supposed to do. But I want Reed to reveal himself on his own, not do it because she keeps digging. I get why she does it, but I don’t have to like it. I do still adore her though. She’s just as fiery as she’s been and maybe a little nutty when the situation calls for it. But she also has her own past to overcome, and you’ll be nothing but charmed when you see her strength. She’s one of a kind.
I can’t wait to see what happens in the conclusion of this story! It’s been a whirlwind of truths, lies, mistakes, and craziness. Things will never be easy for Reed and Georgie, and these two are embarking on uncharted territory where relationships are concerned. One thing I can guarantee though: it’s going to be an epic ride to the conclusion!
Oh what a tangled web we weave…
Reed and Georgiana both have their secrets but while he thought he was the one in charge he finds himself completely under her spell. While she shadows him for her story, he finds himself obsessed with everything about her. Neither of them can resist the draw of the other.
Leading up to the party at his place, they are all business by day and steamy goodness by night. Steamy, steamy, steamy, steamy goodness at night!! Oh my goodness! Keep some ice handy to cool off!!
Georgiana is wary and not completely trusting. She is also naturally inquisitive. She is a journalist after all. So she is determined to find out his secrets. Partially for her story and partially for her peace of mind.
What is Reed’s truth? Can she trust him?
We get to revisit some of our favorite people!!! Keane, Kat, Aloha, Zander, Dax, Fish, all the madness…and oh boy does Reed step in it…because they LOVE Georgiana. I can’t wait for the final book of this trilogy!!
I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
OMG!!!! This book was on fire!!!! Lauren Rowe killed it with this story!!! Georgie and Reed are to die for!!! Once I started reading I couldn’t stop!!! Bring on book 3!!!!
