WOW just WOW!!! I haven’t met one of SM Soto’s books I have not liked. This one has to be the 2nd of all her books that is one of my favorites. She writes her charaters with so much emotion and you can almost feel what they are dealing with and it is only written in a book for you to read.
When Makenzie is looking into the death of her twin sister, she seems to find more than she bargained for. Will she be able to find out the truth and also save herself? Baz has found someone he can see a future with but will his past haunt him and cause him the happiness that he has found with Makenzie?
I can’t wait for the next book as this one does end in a cliff hanger so be warned. Be ready to go on a ride with this one and make sure to buckle up and enjoy the ride!!
Holy Moly!!!! Talk about heart palpitations!! Phew!! High anxiety and extremely intense!! And let me tell you, it was an inferno!! Hotness overload!! Page turner and suspenseful!! Phenomenal story that will have your heart pounding and your fingers turning the pages at a rapid rate!! Phenomenal book on all levels!!!
Mind blown and captivated from the prologue. This book is the most perfect blend of angst, suspense, brute alpha, feels and steam. The story line caught me from the beginning and the tale the SM Soto wove was just amazing. I loved and hated on the characters and ran every emotion along the way with such an intensity. Give me book 2 now…
Okay!!!! UGHHH I need book two right now I need to know what happens nexts. And Baz ooooh I have sooo many feeling about him I just don’t know.
Mackenzie can’t move on from her twin sister’s murder, it’s been nine years and finally she may have a chance of justice for her sister, and revenge for the treatment Mackenzie was put through after her death.
Mackenzie can’t believe when she is shown a picture for a opening night event of a new club opening and the memories come flooding back the heartache the loss and the intimidation and fear. It’s them Mackenzie knows they killed her sister Maddison, and she will do whatever it takes to bring them down, even sacrifice herself.
This is a brilliantly written suspense filled read with such sexual chemistry between her and the man who has taken her breath away. What Mackenzie is yet to realise it that the one nightstand is one of them. This is a must read you will also left about to implode with the storyline, captivated by the characters and left wondering what will happen next
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

When you closes this book your going to ask yourself what in the world have you read? I don’t think there is anyway that you can not think that as you finished. Your also going to be left hanging by a thread and I think that I saw someplace this was a duet so I hope that we get the next book super soon. This book is filled with everything that you love about a romantic threiller and then some. I don’t really want to give away any of the story line. I basically went into it blind and feel like that is the best way to do it. You do not want to miss this book. Trust me. Thank you S.M. Soto fro writing such a mind blowing book. I can not wait for the next one and for you to blow my mind even more.
I AM SPEECHLESS! Guys, Kiss Me With Lies was EVERYTHING. This has so much hotness, suspense, and action that had me on the edge of my bed.
Mackenzie is out for answers and revenge on whoever killed her sister. She has a plan, but she was not expecting Baz to come into her life and turn it upside down. Guys, Baz is EVERYTHING!!! I loved him so much from the very beginning. These two are FIRE!!!! I was swooning so hard I needed air!!! I cannot explain much I loved this book. S.M. Soto outdid herself, she just took ‘epic’ to a whole other level.
Get ready because this book is HAWT!!!! I am seriously dying!!!! I need book two like NOW!!!! This book is a MUST READ, you will be swooning and on the edge of your seat like never before.
***** 5 SAVAGE CROWNS!!!! *****
I honestly think that this book just soared to the top of my romantic suspense favorites!!!! OH MY GOD….I finished it last night and my mind is still reeling from this plot, these characters, and this cliffhanger!! What have you done SM Soto?!? I kept trying to swipe for more words – more Baz – more Mackenzie, but alas…it is over until she saves us all with Bury With Me Lies that hopefully is coming soon!!
Baz & Mackenzie jumped right out of the pages of this book – their chemistry was so real, so raw, SO passionate and undeniable. I was drawn to Baz immediately, who was the perfect combination of dominating, protective and compassionate alpha male. He stood out from the other “Savages” immediately and you just knew something was different about him. The way he holds a room, commands Mackenzie, and draws people to follow him with aggression at times and soft-spoken charm at others, left me absolutely breathless. His inner battle with trusting others too easily all while still wanting everything with Mackenzie makes him the perfect mysterious alpha hero. I’m going on record right now saying Baz King has just sky-rocketed to the top of my fav alpha list!!!!!!!!
And Mackenzie…this girl. My heart broke for her over and over, and yet at times I wanted to yell at her and push her in the right direction. But SM Soto kept Mackenzie true to her character exposing her insecurities at times, while portraying the confidence and determination she always strived for when she needed it most. Her fierce need for vengeance is what drives her, and along the way she learns so much about herself that it surprised both her and me. Her character shines throughout this story, and I am hoping and praying that this girl gets the happy ending that she deserves!
This book is pure brilliance. It is sexy, steamy, and suspenseful full of twists and turns you won’t see coming. PLUS – the characters are addictive, not only the hero and heroine, but the Savages each on their own add an entirely different dimension to this story. I didn’t want to put it down. I didn’t want it to end, and I CANNOT wait for the conclusion to this fabulous duet! Well done once again SM Soto!!! I’m ready for more BAZ!!
I could not put this down! Once I started, I was yanked in and then left hanging at the end!! This first book is left with a cliffhanger, but the ride to the cliff was bumpy, awesome, sexy, smart, hot, steamy, delicious. Mackenzie, Baz and the rest of the Savages leave you wanting more and want to find out the truth. What really happened with Madison?!? Will Mackenzie find out the truth, but will she pay the ultimate sacrifice with her life to find out?
This is another great start to a new series!! I can’t wait for the next book!!
What the what?!?!?! I will never make it until the next book comes out. All the secrets, all the lies, all the tension, heat, and angst fused together to form a flawless story from SM Soto and I need the rest right now! The characters were developed perfectly. Their flaws and their strengths were presented in a totally believable, relatable way that had me loving some and hating others. Then there were the characters that I didn’t trust for even a second. The plot was fast paced and I could not quit reading! If you haven’t read this book yet, read it RIGHT NOW!
Hands down, top 10 read of 2019!! Ladies and gents, one click this book and get ready for this wild, seductive ride that you won’t know what hit you!! This author knows how to write romance and and NAIL IT!! Absolutely enthralling, steamy, seductive, suspenseful, and overall romance read that deserves more than 5 stars!!
Holy hotness!! You people need this book like yesterday!!! This author makes my heart race, have to fan myself and want to cry all at the same time!! I absolutely loved this author preciously to this book – now I can’t get enough!!
The way this author takes these dark, suspenseful situations, with a twist of steaminess and absolutely hotness that is BAZ Get ready for your new book boyfriend!!! This author always amazes me with her writing ability and ability is absolutely flawless!!
Macenzie is out to figure out who killed her twin. She doesn’t expect to encounter all the things she does, including BAZ when she seeks revenge. What happens will blow your mind and make you have to take a cold shower. Their story is one that has ups and downs and ends with a cliffhanger that will literally leave you begging for more!!
5+ stars! A must buy!’
Eekkk Where the wind just blown over? Agghhhhh Lies and lies my heart! Mackenzie was the woman with an iron-will determination to find the truth about her sister death. My oh my, this story really had blown my mind away.
Sebastian King was the perfect man of my dream. I was fascinated with the way he had pursued Mackenzie. Hot beyond rolling fire… This love story was a fast pace.. the dance of characters were played so well.. I cant put it down!
First..I adore everything SM Soto writes…but f*ck me running..
Kiss Me With Lies is my absolute favorite. AND …in my Top 5 for 2019
The story kept me glued to the pages. The twists in the plot kept me guessing as to what was going to happen, and a couple of them totally rocked my world!
Talk about unfathomable, agonizing circumstances that will leave your heart pounding and bleeding with unbridled passion.
I was on the edge of my seat until the torturous cliffhanger ending…
What ever will I do until February 2020?

4.5 STARS –
I cannot count how many times I changed my mind for where I thought this story was going only turn the page and change my mind again. The characters were interesting and their chemistry had my Kindle smoking. This story was engaging and kept my interest from the first page until the very end. I absolutely cannot wait to read the conclusion.
First of all…. BAZ KING
second of all… BAZ FREAKIN KING
And overall five star, WOWZA!
Kiss Me With Lies is intense. A suspence, touch of angst, definitly steamy romance (hellooo Baz King, baby. BAZ FREAKIN KING!)
A twin sisters separate by death.
A brotherhood build on lies and secrets.
An unsuspected encounter lead to steamy nights.
A passion so strong to uncover her sister death mystery.
Will McKenzy succes?
Or her blooming feeling for Baz deviated all her purpose?
I may only read few of S. M. Soto’s books. But I think this book simply the best from her so far. Love the intensity from the first page right to the end.
The chemistry between Baz and McKenzy is out of this world burn so hot! Blame the author if there’s baby boom after this book release cause BAZ KING!
The angst from McKenzy is so strong. I can feel her guilt of being the living one. I just wanna slap her parents multiple times for the way they treated her. I can feel her torn between her blooming feelings for Baz and her mission.
The way the author write, from her previous books I’ve read, it’s great to see her evolve. I can see her take her time writing this book. There’s no rush. Everything falls in time and in perfect place. Two tumbs up for the journey she bring me with this book.
Talk about a mind blowing read. SM Soto did me dirty with that cliffy but I suppose it was to be expected as this is a duet. But, holy h-e double hockey sticks. That was one intense ending. The whole story I was on the edge of my seat! Mackenzie and Baz were so hot together and I am loving Baz so hard! If you are in need of a new book boyfriend, look no further! Baz and his dirty talking mouth is to die for!! The author knocked this one out of the park. SM Soto never ceases to amaze me with her writing and characters. The author is one of my automatic 1-clicks and this book is the perfect example of why that is. Kiss Me With Lies is utter perfection and this is a 10+ star read for me!! SM slayed and this book more than exceeded any of my expectations.
I. Am. Shooketh.
This book was so incredible!! I sat down, started reading, fell into a hole surround by these pages, and got lost. The story is so unique and gripping, I couldn’t tear my eyes away.
I don’t know how I’m going to possibly be able to wait for the next book to come out. I can’t even form a coherent thought without coming up with a million different theories on what I think is going to happen.
Baz and Mackenzie have this chemistry that you can only read about. It’s off the pages hot. They can’t keep their eyes or their hands off of each other. I love to read a book that has insane chemistry like these two have. Where they want to rip their clothes off of each other every chance they get and they ACTUALLY DO. Baz has such a filthy mouth. From the moment I first met him in the story, I was in love. He’s so filthy and so, so incredibly hot.
“Whenever I’m around you, there’s this all-consuming need to take you, to make you come apart beneath me. It’s nothing like I’ve ever experienced before.”
Kiss Me With Lies is such an incredible read. There are secrets and lies. Lust and passion. Betrayed and coverups. The plot has thickened. I can not wait to see what Soto brings us next!!
“Such a beautiful face,”
“Such perfect lips,”
“Lips that have lied, over and over again,”
“Lips that have done nothing but kiss me with lies.”
This story is one that will grip you, consume you and blow your freaking mind. It has everything from murder, deceit, suspense to some super hotness. It is not only panty melting at times, but it will keep you on the edge of your seat and have your mind all over the place trying to put all the pieces together. The Epic cliffhanger leaves you with that WTF? moment and screaming at the author NOOOOO…..you can’t leave me hanging until February. I just don’t think that I can wait that long. This book is so unputdownable, but S.M. Soto always seems to make her books that way for me. Mackenzie and Madison’s story just comes to life right before your eyes and makes you feel like you have crawled into those pages and are part of the story. Gosh….Baz has won me over and I am sooooo hoping that he is a good guy and doesn’t break my heart by being on the wrong side of things. As for the other guys, Trent, Marcus, Vincent, and Zach, well…let’s just say their bully ways adds so much to the story and leaves you with the want to slap them all at one time or another in the story. I can’t wait to get the rest of this story and see how all the pieces of the puzzle are going to come together. I really highly recommend that you one-click this one and I can promise you that you won’t be disappointed. Overall this is a more than 5 mind blowing stars for me. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED!!!!
