All. The. Stars
Title: Beautiful Liar
Author: Lauren Rowe
Series: The Reed Rivers Trilogy #2
I have four words for you-This book was PHENOMENAL! I honestly feel that it is Ms. Rowe’s best work to date. She’s an extraordinary writer-but with Beautiful Liar, her writing was magical. This book is so much more than your typical love story. It’s so much more than two people meeting and falling in love. It was absolute PERFECTION!
Georgie and Reed are two characters that I fell in love with from the very beginning but especially with Georgie. This girl is everything! She’s smart, sassy, and is giving Reed a run for his money in this second installment. I seriously have the biggest girl crush on her! I don’t want to say too much but I will say that this book is effin’ amazing. I couldn’t put it down. I am so looking forward to reading the conclusion! Highly recommend reading it!
5 Star Review of Beautiful Liar (The Reed Rivers Trilogy #2) by Lauren Rowe
I wasn’t sure that Lauren Rowe could top the first book in this series, however I should have known better. However, if you haven’t read Bad Liar, then you need to stop and read it prior to reading Beautiful Liar as this trilogy MUST be read in order.
I always knew that the woman who would bring Reed Rivers to his knees would have to be unique and Georgina(Georgie) Ricci is certainly that woman. She is feisty, sassy and a woman I would love to have on my side.
From the first to the last chapter I was fully invested in Reed and Georgie’s story. There was drama, deceit, humour, passion, sizzle and enough steam to knock you off your feet.
Despite the vibes that Reed gives off, there is so much more to him than just an arrogant alpha business mogul. With Georgie, he shows glimpses of vulnerability which was heartwarming.
As I have come to expect from Lauren Rowe, the writing was strong and you cannot help but fall for all the characters. Reed and Georgie together are explosive, their chemistry intense.
Beautiful Liar left me with one heck of a book hangover and I cannot wait to see what is in store for them as their journey concludes in Beloved Liar.
I fangirled pretty hard for Bad Liar, but man oh man Beautiful Liar is–believe it or not–even better! As a longtime reader of Lauren Rowe and having loved all her books and having said that Bad Liar is one of my top 3, I can honestly say that Beautiful Liar knocked it down a peg. I have a new favorite Lauren Rowe book and it’s Beautiful Liar!
Beautiful Liar picks up right where Bad Liar leaves off. That’s all I’m going to say because I don’t want to spoil Bad Liar for anyone: you *HAVE* to read Bad Liar before picking up Beautiful Liar. The books build on each other and must be read in order.
Reed and Georgie scorches by a thousand degrees! Lauren really turned up the heat in this one. The chemistry between them is off the charts explosive and sexy. There were some steamy sexy times in this book that will leave you panting. One of my favorite sex scenes in the book was where Reed and Georgie weren’t even in the same room and it was so damn hot!
My favorite character in the series is definitely Georgie. I really like Reed, but I LOVE Georgie. She is so fierce–she’s not afraid to tell it like it is, she doesn’t take any bullshit from anyone, she gives as good as she gets, and she goes after what she wants, but she also has a lot of heart. She’s perfect for Reed because he needs someone who is just as strong-willed and resolute and won’t hesitate to call him out when he’s being too arrogant or condescending.
The banter between Georgie and Reed, the sexy times, the setting and descriptions of the world of A-listers, rock stars, and music moguls that transport you into that world–Lauren’s writing is always fun, but she outdid herself in this book. Beautiful Liar is so readable and devourable that I finished it in 2 sittings. I couldn’t stop reading!
I highly recommend picking up the Reed Rivers trilogy. I’m dying for book 3 (thank goodness it’s out next week!) and I can’t wait to see how everything wraps up, especially after that ending! Ahhh!
I received a complimentary ARC – early release copy of this book in Kindle format from the author for review purposes.
This book was so intense. It is book #2 and it is NOT a stand alone. You must read book #1, Bad Liar first. That book ends where our hero, Reed and Georgina have decided to be together and they have some fun and sexy times together but also the outside world starts to affect their romance and some bad decisions are made. And that is where the story ends and let me tell you I cannot wait for the finale book in this series. I seriously am on pins and needles waiting to see what happens next.
This is a well written story and Lauren Rowe, pulls out all the stops in creating some wonderful characters and we get to see some of the characters from her other books all here in a big party setting and it was so much fun seeing all my favorite characters come together with Reed and G.
G is a reporter and she is writing a story on Reed, as he is a big time music producer. And I loved her character so much. This is the story where you will fall hard for her. She is a strong woman and she has a brain and I love how she expresses herself and is always thinking and she asks Reed some really tough questions. She is a total bad ass in this story and I absolutely cheered her on.
Reed and Georgina story continues in the scorchingly hot, heartbreaking saga, Beautiful Liar (Book 2)!
We are not just uncovering the layers of Reed but Georgina as well as they each share their secrets. Reed has a big heart and he is always helping out those he cares about but he is keeping a few to many secrets from Georgie and you just know its going to backfire on him.
Georgie is a reporter and has started putting together pieces of the puzzle but even she doesn’t realize the magnitude of his deception. This ends in a cliffhanger so get ready because their sorry isn’t over.
Can Georgina find it in her heart to forgive Reed and can they recover and find each other again after all of deceit and lies have time to settle? I can’t wait to find out!
**4.5 Stars**
Oh man, oh man, oh man, will the man that it is Reed Rivers please stand up.
Beautiful Liar is all kinds of chaos & I loved it.
Following straight on from book 1 ~ Bad Liar, the second instalment in this trilogy brings the enigma that is Reed Rivers well & truly into the spotlight through his past, present & potential future. Yes he’s his usual, sharp, cocky, self at times with his usual sprinkle of arsehole, but he’s also caring, kind, giving & protective to those he holds closest to his heart & that really shines in this book
As for Georgie girl, she continues to be a breath of fresh air for me. She hasn’t lost her feisty, fiery & fierce nature which I’m so happy about, & like Reed, you really get to see more of her loyal, loving & considerate side in this book. I do love her spirit, even when she’s unsure, she never loses her spark.
Great back story, plenty of angst, oozing chemistry & pesky plot twists that end the book on one hell of a cliffy. I simply can’t wait for book 3.
Short and simple review cause I don’t want to give anything away …
This book is pure FIRE!!! Oh my goodness!!! The passion of Reed Rivers is off the wall!!! Him and Georgie are just … the steamiest, most passionate couple you will read in 2020!
We pick up right where we left off from Bad Liar … Reed has walls up like no other, little does he know, Georgie does too cause of her past, and they both start to explore each other physically and mentally. Which, you know, will only lead to an explosion! Of what degree is the explosion? Well, you will have to get this book and find out for yourself.
Cliffhanger??? Oh yeah, this book has one … it will leave you dying for Beloved Liar to come out!
Previous fans/readers of Lauren’s will love seeing her other beloved characters pop up throughout this read too!
So deliciously good and sexy! I absolutely devoured this book! I couldn’t put it down! Reed. Reed, Reed… WTF, man?!? All the little lies always have a way of making their way to the light. Reed and Georgina are so good together and their chemistry is explosive but I am not sure there is coming back from this. I cannot wait to find out all of Reed’s truths and see how he is going to fix things.
This is the second book of the trilogy, Reed and Georgina’s story is full on, the chemistry can’t be denied, now it’s time for them to see what happens. I honestly can’t get enough of this couple, all the characters surrounding them are amazing and glad to see glimpse about other characters from the author. I need the final book now! Phenomenal 5 star must read, on the list of must read of the year!
5 Blazing Hot Stars!
Beautiful Liar continues the delicious story of Reed Rivers and Georgina Ricci.
I’m sitting here with my heart POUNDING! This book still has me feeling all the things.
If I thought the last book was pure fire then this one was a blazing INFERNO! Oh my! The sexiest book I’ve read in a while.
I’m fully on aboard the Reed and Georgie train and I don’t wanna get off.
The story picks up right where the last one ended and things just keep getting more and more interesting.
These pages are so rich with emotions. It’s a strange mix of soul-baring honesty and then all the intrigue of wanting to get to the truth behind the lies right along with them. It’s a story only a talented writer can bring to life, and Ms. Rowe does that and takes it a step further.
Reed wants to hold on to all his defenses, but he soon realizes he can’t resist Georgie’s warmth and how she’s already gotten into his closely guarded heart. And Georgie is just as equally swept away by the charming Mr. Rivers.
I love a story that makes you think; one that isn’t easy to figure out. One where the characters aren’t perfect. Reed and Georgie are far from perfect but they get each other on a deeper level and it’s the most amazing thing to see it all unfold.
Now, of course there is a cliffhanger at the end. I don’t want to think about it because it’ll just drive me mad. But I know it’ll be worth it once book 3 is on my kindle. Wow! This is shaping up to be one of the best trilogies I’ve read in a long time. I’m so pumped for Beloved Liar.
If Bad Liar was a sexy and steamy chaos of emotions, Beautiful Liar sent me straight to heaven of angsty perfection. Lauren Rowe’s writing reached a new height of brilliance in this story. All the feelings. All the heartbreak and swoonworthy feelings. Every single thing!
Georgian Riccia struck a deal with the devil aka Reed Rivers, The Man with The Midas touch. She is going to stay in his house for the summer and shadow him to write an in depth piece. The article is supposed to help her to secure a job with CeeCee, editor of the most sought after music magazine of country. And she also wants to solve the mystery called Reed Rivers. The more time she spends with this enigmatic man, the harder she falls for him. But their dreamy, passionate and blissful time may be coming to an end. Because Reed has secrets in his closet. And he is not a nice man by any means. He may treat Georgia as Cinderella but he is not a prince charming.
The storyline in this story is even better than first story. It’s a fast paced story set in the celebrity world of Hollywood. The author took me through the tunnels and alleys of this deceptively ritzy world. Georgiana and Reed’s relation has evolved a lot! They are both commitment phobic and untrustworthy of others. But they open up to each other. I loved how their chemistry has so many shades. The sex is electrifying and nuclear hot. I mean, seriously, think about kinky and sweet combined. I also loved how Georgiana challenged Reed with her sassy, fierce and smart ways. I loved how Reed Rivers changed subtly with each day yet kept on denying that the great Reed Rivers is gone for a woman. This cocky, arrogant, dominating, gorgeous, infuriating and successful powerhouse of a man is melting for a woman. My heart literally cannot handle the swoon factor when he goes all protective and caring for Georgiana. But it’s not enough. Because he is not honest and open. Because they have issues and come from different worlds. My heart was ripped from chest and stomped on repeatedly. Georgiana is devastated at the end and Reed does not know how to fix it. I hope Lauren Rowe knows how because this is just torture! My heart was literally lodged at my throat all the time because the suspense was killing me.
Beautiful Liar by Lauren Rowe was a beautiful wound in my soul inflicted by her amazing words. It hurts so good as I am owned by this crazy, swoonworthy, emotional, heartaching and adrenaline filled romance!
Received ARC for honest review
Wowsers…what a sensational, drama filled second installment Lauren Rowe deliveres in Beautiful Liar. Rowe delivers the foundation of this intriguing and entertaining storyline as only she knows how! The build up to the final cliffhanger ending is totally brilliant.
The set up, the building blocks that give this story it’s depth, are truly magical. I am blown away…honestly so damn excited to see which way we readers will be led.
Each individual stepping stone has been precisely and delicately placed for its eventual necessity.
Each piece of the puzzle is laid out for us to try and piece together.
Along with a provocative and captivating narrative, this one contains some combustible Heat!….oh my dear Lord…we are exposed to some seriously sensuous intimacy in this one people. Let me tell you, having a fan handy or even air-conditioning will not save you from the red-hot incandescence that radiates from these pages.
With one of the best, most stunningly explosive cliffhangers ever to leave us on tenterhooks, Ms Rowe has left us with baited breath to experience the heartstopping conclusion to Reed & Georgie’s story. Bring on Beloved Liar! Book 3 will be EPIC!
5 ENGORGED STARS!!
You can run from the lie, but you can’t hide from the truth….
Reed Rivers has an addiction and it has a name, Georgina Ricci. When she is not at his side he craves her like waiting for his next fix. Reed never thought he would ever feel this way for any woman. The two of them together are sexually flammable. Georgina is a blowtorch to his mind, body and soul. These two had all my senses on high alert throughout this book.
Damn you Lauren Rowe for having me crave this couple. I am chomping at the bit for the next book, and I am well aware I may not survive after reading it.
Beautiful Liar is all fiery passion, deep connections and delicious drama… And I am here for ALL of it. I love this book so freaking much!! Lauren Rowe is absolutely blowing me away with this trilogy. I am undoubtedly addicted to Reed Rivers and Georgina Ricci. I can’t get enough of them.
My girl crush on Georgie continues to grow. She is as sassy and feisty as ever. I love how her mind works. Her personality is one you gravitate to immediately. It’s obvious why Reed is so taken by her. I enjoyed getting to know her on a more personal level. She displayed vulnerability and strength in this book. It only made me love her more.
Reed. *Sigh* This gorgeous, brilliant man is so relationship clueless. I can only shake my head. Lauren Rowe has managed to give us a character that I, simultaneously, want to throttle and/or bang. His arrogance and cockiness was maddening. But then he would show that protective, caring side and I just can’t help but fall harder. Also, I would be a fool if I didn’t mention he is crazy hot. Like, what he could do with his body should be applauded kind of hot. *fans self*
Lust, passion and sexcapades galore, Reed and Georgina were explosive together. I mean, of course, I knew they were so perfectly matched after Bad Liar. However, they’re on another level in this second installment.
What really made my heart sing, however, were the moments where they were able to let down their guards and connect on a deeper level. The already strong bond only grew stronger as the story went on… until it went to sh**.
Beautiful Liar ended with an “Ah! OH MY GOD” cliffhanger. I am dying to get my hands on Beloved Liar. I can’t wait. In the meantime, I will be shouting from the rooftop how incredible the first two books in the Reed Rivers trilogy are. I can not recommend them enough.
This book had my heart pounding as I was caught up in Reed and Georgina’s seductive web. These two are scorching hot together and so well matched, that I could barely stand it. There are so many layers to these engrossing characters and the dramatic ending hit me like a brick. I will be on the edge of my seat as I anxiously wait for the next book.
This story and these characters are electrifying and addicting. Lauren Rowe, like Reed Rivers has “the Midas Touch”…this book is Gold!
Reed and Georgina explode off the page. Their tale is enthralling with plenty of heat, heart and swoon. I was drawn into their story from the first and didn’t want to put my book down until the end.
Beautiful Liar is the second book in a trilogy. At the end of book one I was left wanting more, at the end of book two I was left NEEDING more.
-5+ Stars!!-
Book 2 in the Reed Rivers trilogy, and I’m left pining for more, I need book 3 like now, this was such a thrilling read from start to finish, I couldn’t put it down, I really feel like Reed and Georgina have gotten under my skin and I’m having withdrawal symptoms as I need my next fix please!!
Book 2’s in trilogies tend to be a bit meh, but this one has just ramped up the emotions, the goosebumps, the breathlessness…. the connection between Reed and Georgina is electrifying and passionate, I can literally feel my skin tingling from their chemistry!!
Georgina is such a badass in this….. sassy, fiery, snarky….. she’s after the story of Reed while getting under his skin and peeling his layers away, learning about the man he is under his persona and learning to love and trust him. Reed is his usual cocky self, full of swagger and brilliance, falling fast for Georgina and her lovable fiery ways, he’s determined to help her career along if he can, but at the same time keeping her for himself….. everyone has a price!!
Reed and Georgina are turning out to be one of my most favourite couples from Lauren, her writing is stunning and so very addictive, so much passion and steam, with a story line that you just feel a part of. Awesome!! This is a not to be missed trilogy!!
Wow. Holy Wow!!!! This book is one of my absolute favorites ever. I would give this book all of the stars in the sky. I feel like Lauren climbed Mount Everest and reached for the stars. I have loved all of Lauren’s books…All of them… but Reed’s story is so emotionally and physically charged. I actually felt physically effected by the end of book 2. I was unable to sleep and found myself reflecting on several parts of Reed and Georgie’s story. Being able to bring such strong emotions out of a reader is such an amazing talent and Lauren delivers every single time.
Georgie is such a strong woman. She knows exactly what she wants and I love that about her. She is brilliant at drawing Reed out of his shell and getting what she wants. Their chemistry is intense and continues to grow as they spend more time together. Georgie is fiercely loyal to her sister, father, and anyone she lets in her inner circle. Reed is sinfully hot but has so many layers that he keeps hidden. In my opinion, he has a lot of work to do to deserve someone like Georgie. He feels territorial yet he won’t admit to himself his true feelings.
I abso-freaking-lutely cannot wait for the conclusion of their epic love story. Lauren is so generous to her readers that she moved the release dates up. Dive in and get ready to devour their love story. Enjoy!!!
The saga continues in Beautiful Liar, the 2nd installment in this author’s spellbinding The Reed Rivers Trilogy, and it is most certainly a spectacular read! I was so immersed in the story and so enchanted by Reed and Georgie that I quickly lost track of time and before I knew it, I had devoured this book in one sitting. This author is a master at crafting an engaging story that draws the reader in all while creating characters that are many layered, well developed, and endearing.
This book picks up right where Bad Liar left off and the little lies and half truths are starting to accumulate. Reed, for all of his success and arrogance, possesses a touch of vulnerability about him which I adored. Georgina remains a spitfire so full of spunk and sass that it is no wonder this infamous music mogul becomes addicted to her. With these two together, it is near impossible to douse the red hot flames sparked by their intense chemistry. I am going to end this here as I don’t want to spoil anything, but just know that if you enjoyed the previous book, you will love Beautiful Liar!
