Secrets have now been revealed… lies uncovered… and stubborn walls broken down. Reed always says everyone’s got a price… It’s been his mantra for as long as he’s had money in the bank. And now, he’s desperately trying to figure out Georgina’s before it’s too late.The scorching-hot love story of Reed and Georgina began as a simple game of cat and mouse, a game of seduction between a music … between a music mogul and a young, aspiring journalist. In the beginning, both sides considered themselves the hunter. Both sides thought they were running the game. But what unfolded between them was an unexpected bond neither of them saw coming. A once-in-a-lifetime soul connection. Unfortunately, though, betrayals and lies have come between them now, leaving two hearts on the brink of total decimation…
Will the truth finally set Reed and Georgina free to find the happiness they both so desperately desire… or have they lost their chance at love forever?
BELOVED LIAR is the third book of the standalone REED RIVERS TRILOGY. The full trilogy is BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR, to be read in order.

A perfect ending to a tumultuous trilogy. Lies, even for a good reason, are never a good thing. When Georgina finally uncovered all of the lies by omission Reed had hidden some sent her running while others brought her back. And still, others helped her to see the real Reed Rivers.
I love this couple so much and am delighted that Lauren finally gave them to us. This is the icing on the cake for me because I have followed Reed through all of the previous stories and just knew there was something special about him. Georgina is his perfect mate in all things and helped him in more ways than just finding his heart.
Now that all of the players have their happy endings I am anxious to see what Lauren Rowe will bring us next.
This trilogy was great! Loved it! It definitely introduced me to an author that I will continue to read!
5 Their Journey Is Not Easy Stars!!!
When I finished Beautiful Liar and that gasp-worthy cliffie I wasn’t really sure if our H/h could find equal footing in their desires for each other. Well, Ms. Rowe has written a brilliant conclusion to this trilogy about a man that has had me intrigued from the very first time I met him.
Georgie was so incredibly hurt by Reed and I feel like her not holding back with him and her feelings really was a light turning on for this man. He’s worked so hard to build the empire he has, but along with that success comes a sense of entitlement, and rightly so. His artists are at the top of all the charts and when he speaks people listen. But when it comes to his love life, he’s never been challenged by a woman before. What he does know is that Georgie is his and he needs to convince her that they deserve a second chance!
This book is filled with passion, heat, redemption and forgiveness. There’s so much in Reed’s history that explains so very much about how he lives today, and seeing his relationship with his Mom really come full circle was beautiful in and of itself. But also, working so hard to get Georgie to understand that he’s not giving up until they have their forever made me giddy!!
This trilogy is the perfect way to binge read an amazing story of a man that’s complex and driven with a woman that won’t put up with his BS!!
WOW….just, WOW! You know that feeling you have when you’ve finished reading a book that BLOWS YOU AWAY, something that makes you sit back and think “OH EM GEE, how in the *(bleep)* did *insert authors’ name* come up with this??!!” It happens every once in a while….and Lauren Rowe has DONE IT with the Reed Rivers Trilogy, the EPIC, MAGICAL, INCREDIBLY ADDICTIVE and HEART & SOUL touching love story of Reed Rivers and Georgina Ricci! From the very first chapter of book one (Bad Liar) through the angsty, nerve wracking book two (Beautiful Liar) to the GLORIOUS conclusion in Beloved Liar, this story had me hooked like I’ve NEVER been hooked before!
I have to say that it took me quite a while to warm up to Reed but I eventually fell head-over-heels in love, just like Georgie! Georgie, on the hand, was so easy to fall in love with and I ABSOLUTELY ADORE her! She’s my FAVE heroine of Lauren’s, by FAR! She’s the perfect blend of feisty, innocent, loving, strong yet sensitive, knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it….and did I mention how BAD-@SS she is?! She’s who I want to be when I grow up *insert cheeky grin*
I can’t recommend this trilogy from one of my ALL-TIME fave authors strongly enough!!! Now that the last book is available you can binge to your heart’s content! Just a little warning….you’re gonna want to throw your kindle (or ereader of choice) a few times but I STRONGLY urge you not to! You’re gonna want to finish and find out just how INCREDIBLE Ms. Rowe truly is! Like I’ve said before, she’s a MASTERFUL storyteller of EPIC proportions and I can’t WAIT to see what her DIABOLICAL mind comes up with next!
Well hot damn — Reed and Georgina delivered such an amazing ending that left me practically swooning to no end.
I can’t tell you how much this woman (Georgina) made my heart sour with her quirkiness, her smartness and her love for this man that was just the complete package.
We find out a lot about Reed Rivers and how he really is. More of his background that definitely needed explaining and Ms. Rowe did not disappoint when it came to this.
I loved the premise, it wasn’t just a love story between a hot older man and a younger woman aspiring to be a successful journalist. Things unraveled slowly but surely and it just ended with a bang!
This trilogy definitely tops my reads of 2020!
Lauren Rowe!!! The things you do to me! I haven’t read every single one of Lauren’s books for no reason, this woman is a master of her craft and knows how to suck her readers in from beginning to end. This trilogy was absolutely everything I never knew that I needed.
Reed Rivers has quite the transformation from book 1 to book 3. Georgina and Reeds secrets are finally coming out and I loved watching how they handled them all. These two were exactly what the other one needed. They were just absolutely made for one another.
Reed has become more open with his feelings and has realized it isn’t a weakness to show them. He has found someone who accepts him in every way in Georgie and that both thrills and scares him.
Georgie had fears of her own and I loved watching her overcome them. She was such a strong heroine, and when she felt things, she always felt them deeply. I truly just adored her.
This was an absolute beautiful read and the perfect ending to this trilogy. Beautiful job by Lauren Rowe, but I never expect anything less than perfection. She’s that good of a writer. 5 stars!
Leading on from our explosive ending of Beautiful Liar, Beloved Liar starts off in quite a contemplative manner, a little more subdued than I thought it was going to go, but none-the-less, quite appropriate for the continuation of the storyline.
Straight up, Reed is forced to take ownership of the mistakes he’s made in his relationship with Georgina and now has to decide which direction he wants to go.
Georgina, begrudgingly, realizes the part she has played in the disconnect between her and Reed, but will she allow Reed to win back her badly broken heart?
These tough decisions aren’t the only issues that make up this third and final installment in this gripping and entertaining series. There is a lot covered in this concluding part of the story and it certainly keeps your eye to the final page.
Lauren Rowe gives us her all in Beloved Liar! She has painstakingly connected all the scattered pieces we were given in books 1 & 2, and in the process has given us a wonderfully designed and scripted piece of art.
Reed and Georgie have been pure fire in this series and rest assured they continue to burn up the pages in book 3. The intense passionate awareness that exists between these two is emotionally tactile and fills the senses as you read. It is a dynamic connection that only Lauren Rowe can produce.
Be ready to fully immerse yourself in the Lauren Rowe experience with this book and the entire series.
A fascinating, humorous and provocative read.
5 Impressive stars
Absolutely one of the best trilogies this year, it was fantastic, I am in love with all the characters, Beloved Liar was the perfect conclusion to the story. Reed and Georgina’s story get an amazing wrap up story with a few surprises. I love how all characters are connected with other series so I got to see a glimpse of them all. Lauren Rowe made an excellent plot line for Reed. Bravo a more than 5 star review for it all, definitely on the top must read list 2020.
Reed and Georgina kept me on my on the edge of my seat while reading their story. I so needed this book after the last one with that doozy of a cliffhanger. A great read and series!
What a spectacular conclusion to Georgie’s and Reed’s epic love story! I am almost sad it is over because these characters have completely burrowed their way into my heart! This author does it again in creating a novel that is not only entertaining with an engaging storyline and captivating characters, but also weaves together a story will leave you laughing, crying, and swooning.
For all of his arrogance and success, Reed is wildly amusing in his cluelessness when it comes to matters of the heart. I enjoyed watching Georgie turn this strong and commanding man into a hot mess. Ever a spitfire, this headstrong heroine keeps things spicy with her sass and her ability to push all of Reed’s buttons. Sparks were flying off the pages with these two.
Beloved Liar picks up right where the last book left off. From there, the author further developed Reed and Georgie both as individual characters and together as a couple. These two are quite the power couple with their intense connection and bringing out the best in each other. The chemistry remains palpable, but there is also a lot of tenderness. Of note, there is some important subject matter that this author incorporates into the book and she does so with great sensitivity and respect. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book with its interesting plot, well developed and likable characters (both main and secondary), and superb writing style. This entire trilogy is binge-worthy so be prepared to hunker down as once you start as you won’t want to put it down until you reach the final pages of Beloved Liar.
The sexual and emotional chemistry that was ignited in the previous 2 books between Reed and Georgie chemistry brought to a boiling point in this epic finale. This was about a soul deep connection from 2 people that never saw themselves settling down but from the moment they met neither one stood a chance. I loved these 2, their fiery personalities and passion for the things and the people they love was one of my favorite things about them. They loved hard and fought hard for each other and they did the same for the people they love and the things they feel strongly about. I loved the support Reed showed for Georgie’s career. The growth of Georgie’s character really showed in this book and even throughout this book. Her character grew as did her strength. Some of this could have been taken straight from today’s headlines and I feel like it was done in an honest way to show the other side of what people go through when such things make the news.
I received a complimentary ARC – early release copy of this book in Kindle format from the author for review purposes.
This was a wonderful series and I absolutely loved it. In this story things come to ahead and the Beloved Liar, has to make up for the past. This was my absolute favorite in the series. Its the one where the most things happened and I absolutely loved every moment of this story.
In this story we start to really see Reed as he has to make some really tough decisions and try and win Georgie’s heart. And well Georgie has some work too as she has to decide if Reed is worth a risk to her heart.
I loved how Georgie is this great journalist and she digs for the truth and she pretty knows all of Reed’s secrets. She seems so much more mature than your normal 21 year old. I also loved that we get more Kat, Josh, Henny and Hannah in this story and all the rest of their friends.
Every book in the Reed Rivers trilogy is a 5 star read. EVERY. SINGLE. BOOK! Oh yes, yes, yesss! Lauren Rowe completely blew me away!! Excuse me while I give it a standing ovation.
Beloved Liar is the third and final *whimpers* book in the incredible Reed Rivers trilogy and it was everything I could have hoped for. A perfect conclusion full of heart, heat and undeniable character chemistry. I love everything about this book!! Lauren Rowe captivated me with all the sass and feels. She did a great job weaving humor into a story that dealt with some serious topics. She also gave me one of my favorite things ever – a good grovel. If you’re like me, and you live for the grovel – oh boy – prepare yourself because Reed Rivers does not mess around when it comes to winning Georgina back. He messed up royally in Beautiful Liar. So it was great to see him try to redeem himself.
I didn’t know I could love Reed and Georgie any more but I was wrong. I’m even crazier for these two. I got the sense of a true partnership with Reed and Georgie. A strong, supportive team. #TeamReRiGeRi. They balanced each other out, held each other up and brought a peace they both needed. Every interaction between Georgina and Reed was fire and passion. Gah! I’m in awe of them.
Now, while I think Reed is amazing and obviously I love him very very much – he showed a lot of growth and great character development, I feel like this book was Georgina’s time to shine brighter. She really showed what a fierce, fabulous, brave badass she is. Her brilliance and sleuthing was sexy. Her spirit, infectious. Georgie Ricci is my girl crush forever.
I’m bummed this amazing series is over. Like, how am I supposed to function knowing I don’t have anymore Reed and Georgina stories to look forward to?! I can honestly say The Reed Rivers trilogy is one of the best I’ve ever read. A definite must read. I can’t recommend them enough. Bravo, Ms. Rowe! You outdid yourself.
If you want a mind blowing masterpiece that is Lauren Rowe’s best work to date? The Reed Rivers Trilogy is it! You need this binge worthy series in your life!
Beloved Liar is the epic conclusion to Reed and Georgie’s explosive, fiery, and sexy story. This book, this series! It will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride of epic proportions! Absolutely brilliant. To say I loved it doesn’t even begin to cover it. 1000 stars!
This beloved book soared! 5 stars
This beloved book made my heart soar! But first, it started with my heart breaking and crying literal tears for the pain both Georgie and Reed were going through (I won’t say more, but hopefully that doesn’t spoil anything.) Can their trust in each other be rebuilt after what happened at the end of book 2? That was the journey for the first part of this book, and it was beautiful to see Reed finally realizing he has the capability to love someone with his whole mind, body and soul the way he does Georgie. The journey Reed went on from book one to get this place in book three was mesmerizing to read. Once Georgie realized that he was telling the truth about what happened at the end of book 2, that is when this beloved book soared for me. Georgie loved him for all of him, not just the “pretty” parts, but absolutely everything that made him who he is. Reed felt so freed by that, that heart soared for him. Georgie was still an absolute feisty fireball in this book, and the real world situations she (and the author) tackled in this book made me respect her (and the author) even more. The second half of the book was spent righting wrongs, and it was magnificent to read. On a side note, the cameos we get from some of my favorite characters were divine! Then in a full circle moment, I was crying at the end of this book, but this time it was tears of happiness and joy for Georgie and Reed. The love I have for this book, characters and series is infinite, and as you can surmise I highly recommend it!

5 Star Review of Beloved Liar (The Reed Rivers Trilogy #3) by Lauren Rowe
I wasn’t sure that Lauren Rowe could top the previous two books in this series, but how wrong was I? Having said that, if you haven’t read Bad Liar and Beautiful Liar, then you need to stop and read them prior to reading Beloved Liar , the conclusion to this trilogy which MUST be read in order.
What a conclusion Beloved Liar is to the roller coaster relationship between Reed Rivers and the woman who has done the impossible and brought him to his knees, Georgina (Georgie) Ricci.
This was an emotional, steamy story that had me riveted from start to finish. There were times that I laughed, I cried, I sighed, I cringed and on occasion I did a double take and though oh no she did not just do that.
For Reed, he firmly believes everyone has their price; if only he can figure out Georgie’s before it’s too late. I knew I loved Reed but this in this book he took my breath away.
This trilogy is one of the best that I have read. Beloved Liar left me with one heck of a book hangover. Beautifully written it will dig in deep and stay with you long after you finish reading.
Easily a 5-Star end to this amazing trilogy!!
If you only read three books in 2020, let those three books be the Reed Rivers Trilogy!
Normally I speed read and blow through Lauren’s books cause, I just don’t know how else to read them, they are so energetic, passionate, and exciting but I have to hold on a bit with this last book! I knew, THIS WAS IT! THIS WAS ALL THE REED RIVERS WE WERE GETTING, so I had to savor this last book all that much more!
I want to talk so much about the story but I’m not about to give away any spoilers so I’ll do my best! The 3rd book picks up right were Beautiful Liar leaves off … right when we’re all reeling and pleading for more. Anything you may have wanted answered, any nook or cranny you wanted to have discovered will be answered in book 3. Lauren dots every I and crosses every T in all her stories especially with the Reed Rivers Trilogy.
I really, really loved the sprinkling of some of Lauren’s other characters in this book as well. Again, this is a true standalone trilogy with no prior reading needed BUT if you have read her other books, you’ll love these little sprinklings of those characters!
This story stays so on point with a lot going on in today’s society too but in an enjoyable reading experience kind of way, even if the events being discussed aren’t enjoyable, if that makes sense.
I’m absolutely in love with Georgie, she’s such a spitfire! Strong, passionate, a little stubborn, goal-driven, determined, fun, and caring. She’s a gal pal we would all love to have in our lives!
Reed … oh my goodness Reed … I have waited for your story for ages … knowing of you in the past, I just knew you would rival any other book boyfriend I’ve ever read, including my beloved Jonas Faraday. He’s swoon-worthy, passionate, completely stubborn, smart, sexy, but full of mystery, an onion just waiting to be pealed. He jumps off the pages and is immediately seared into your brain and heart!! Oh, he’s just everything!!! I feel bad for saying it but, yes, he’s taken the throne of my favorite male leads EVER by Lauren. So yes, my beloved Jonas, I still love him, would take a bullet for him, but he’s now a runner up. So if that’s ANY indication on how FREAKIN GOOD this trilogy is … let that be the tell tale sign!
This series is one of Lauren’s best and deserves all of the stars in the sky. The number of positive things I could write about this book is limitless. It was one of my most anticipated reads and was worth every day that I felt tortured while waiting. Reed continues to discover his true self and Georgina is the only woman that has ever made him want to beg and plead for forgiveness. So much happens in book 3. Not much can be said without spoiling epic love story. I love that we get to continue seeing characters from previous books. The world Lauren has created is one I never want to leave. I hope we can continue to get more stories that have these couples involved. They are fun, witty, loving, sarcastic, hot, sexy, bad*ss alphas and heroines that have a special place in my heart. Lauren’s imagination continues to climb mountains. I can truly get lost in her books and it is a much needed break my brain and sanity needs. I am super excited to see what lies next in Lauren’s world. Enjoy!!!
Beloved Liar is the epic conclusion to The Reed Rivers Trilogy and Lauren Rowe did not let us down!
This story will take you on a emotional rollercoaster and with each book and each page Reed and Georgina’s story just keeps getting better and better. This story will have you smiling one minute, laughing the next and crying a few tears. So, hold on tight! This is a ride you will not want to miss!
Reed has never had to work this hard for a woman probably because he has never wanted a woman this much. He is trying everything in his power to figure out how to earn Georgina trust back and this sassy spitfire is definitely not going to easily fall again for his sexy smile and sweet words.
Reed and Georgina definitely have chemistry and seem perfect for each other but before they can find all the happiness that they deserve they have to get through the few obstacles that are thrown in their way.
4.5 stars
Oh boy am I glad that the cliffy from before was solved as it was. Maturely, and somewhat reasonably.
Reed and Georgina are still headstrong, but how beautiful it is when they pull on the same string. Overcoming their differences and working together to improve each other, them as a couple and their world as a whole was beautiful. A good ending to this trilogy in the typical hilarious, steamy, living life in a big way of Lauren Rowe books.
