From Top 10 Bestselling author Lia Fairchild
We all lie, but I bathe in deceit.
Lies spill from my lips as easy as the breath from my lungs.
My lies ruin lives…and they’ve ruined me.
The only truth is that I want Daniel.
Dr. Daniel Harrison shouldn’t want me, but he does.
I can see it every time he looks in my eyes.
He’ll do anything for me, and I’ll do anything to have him.

This book had much of what I love in a good romance story: flawed yet likeable characters, family drama, tension galore, heart break, and forbidden love! Fairchild wove the character threads and backstories together flawlessly, bringing them to life so that they could tug at my heart strings.
I cried! Yep, this one brought on the waterworks for me. I loved the way Gray’s backstory unravelled alongside her relationships. I was immersed in her world, with numerous overlapping plot lines. My one critique of this book is that I felt there were too many subplots cramped into its 300 pages. Don’t get me wrong, they were great story lines, but having so many meant that some were not given their due attention.
Compulsive is an emotional rollercoaster that explores the life and love of a complicated woman. I was so invested in the story that I moved straight onto the sequel, Liar, which I am halfway through (and loving). I highly recommend this book to all, but especially to lovers of slow-burn and forbidden romance.
Good book!
Somethings in life can bring people into your world you were not expecting. A young woman in Lia Fairchild’s book “Compulsive” has more on her hands than she thought she would with new people popping up to become part of her life!
Bad compulsive habits leads a woman into a relationship she didn’t see coming. She thinks of herself as the one who controls situations around her by manipulation of others with her life time habit of lying. Forces at play will show her how life is about to become a different challenge than what she is used to. Does she handle it, will she learn to be who other’s need, change to be what she needs?
Fairchild’s writing is engrossing, it keeps you reading late into the night and turning those pages! Her characters have a realism that has been woven into them that makes the reader feel close to them, care for them, feeling a camaraderie with them. It’s an emotional story with sexual tension interlacing its way through to the end. This is a read I’m sure will appeal to many!
4*
Gray isn’t happy she has been forced to take a 6 month therapy course after been accused of something at work.
Finding out her therapist is leaving she wants Daniel to take her case but her request is rejected.
Daniel is going through a difficult time with his family but is surprised how much he’s drawn to Gray.
The story is about her addiction in dealing or rather not in her case with her past and how it has affected her future and her life. The coping methods she has tried and that have failed, her inability to tell the truth and to hide behind lies.
The book leaves you eagerly awaiting the conclusion
Wouldn’t recommend. Very long and drawn out then the ending was predictable. Yet it left it for a second book which I would never read
Boring!
Loved the book, can’t wait to read the next one.
Kind of boring and not much happened. The ending was predictable. Nothing exciting or interesting happened. Don’t bother reading it.
Compulsive by Lia Fairchild is my first book by this author but not my last. This was a really good story about a girl named Gray who is a compulsive liar having to go to therapy and falling for her therapist Dr. Harrison. Gray has a messed up early childhood and her reasons for being closed off and always lying.
This was a slow-burning romance, maybe a little too slow for me and a little confusing for the first couple of chapters; the last half of the book made up for it. I was on an emotional roller-coaster in a good way. But I didn’t see that ending coming and I might have yelled at my kindle. Can’t wait to read the next book to see what’s going to happen next.
This is one of my favorite books by this author. This isn’t a fairy tale romance matter of fact this first part of the story is more discovery for other of these two. She is compulsive at almost everything she does especially lying, has a history and some serious issues in her past. He is bound by duty, honor and the oath he has taken but stretching the boundaries to be near her. With his past demons and all that is going on in his life he really is no better suited than she is for real love. They are both questioning all they know to be true.
This author pulls some real moves in this deep and searching read. You may even find yourself needing to make some changes as well. The author takes some real chances in this book and gives us many unexpected surprises. I loved it and can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
