5 Edge Of Your Seat Stars!!!
An edge of your seat romantic suspense with a jaw dropping end! They say the truth will set you free. In this case, finding the truth may just get her killed.
Mackenzie is on a mission. Nine years ago her sister was ripped from her life. Her sister’s death has haunted her since that fateful night. She knows the men that are gulity but she has no proof. She’s willing to risk everything for the truth.
Baz was never part of the plan. She never meant to find a man who could mean something, all the while trying to unearth her sister’s murderer. Now she’s buried in her own mountain of lies. And Baz, she’s not sure about his guilt or innocence.
The men she’s after are wealthy and powerful. Back then, they were just five boys, from well-to-do family’s, who were inseparable. Now she’s hiding in plain sight and trying her best to discover the killer. Things are getting dangerously complicated.
Mackenzie and Baz have a chemistry that sizzles off the pages. From the moment they met, it was intense. When they got together it was incredibly HOT! Too bad everything between them has been built from lies.
I am questioning everyone. Who’s guilty, who’s just a pawn? The manipulation and lies run deep.
So many questions remain to be answered. I was totally invested in Mackenzie’s need for justice. I am eagerly anticipating this ending. I have a feeling it won’t be anything we expect.
Kiss Me With Lies is my new favorite S.M. Soto book! I could not stop reading. This book had me hooked from start to finish.
Baz King is hot AF! He had me fanning myself thinking he could do those dirty things to me, and I wouldn’t complain. Mackenzie Wright was not the sad, small woman I thought she was going to be.
What happens when the man you spend the best night of your life with happens to be one of the same men you have hated and vowed revenge on? Lines get blurred and plans go haywire.
This book had my heart racing from both the steamy as sin sex, and just the fear for Mackenzie. I could not turn the pages fast enough. Soto hooks you from the start and never lets you go. I was so engrossed in this book I couldn’t have stopped if I needed to. If the suspense isn’t enough for you Baz’s dirty talk will leave you needing more. The chemistry and attraction between Baz and Mack jumps off the pages. They have some of the most explosive chemistry I have ever read. Everything they do is hot as hell.
This book was absolute perfection. Soto delivered an amazing, suspenseful, hot as hell book that leaves you needing more, literally. Because as we know this is a duet so let’s talk about that ending. S.M. Soto what the actual fuck? Did you really need to leave it there? February cannot get here fast enough. I need answers and I need them now!
All the stars for Soto and Kiss Me With Lies!
I’ve received an ARC and they told me to write a review. No problem. I thought! Because after reading KMWL 3 times, I really don’t know how!
This book is crazy! Don’t get me wrong – it’s good crazy, the best, absolutely phenomenal. There are so many layers in this story, I don’t even know how to put it in words.
You want a strong, independent, driven heroine? An alpha so alpha you need to invent a new word for?
You want side characters who confuse the shit out of you?
You want heat, chemistry, angst, action and so many twists, that you can’t tell up from down?
You want a cliffhanger, so you can throw your book/Kindle (or whatever) through your house?
READ THIS BOOK!
And even if you aren’t into all these things, read it anyway. Because the writing is perfect and the story is amazing and this book is extremely captivating. You’ll see.
Absolutely amazing!!
This book has so many twists and turns. For awhile
I thought I knew who Madison’s killer was, but even with
that cliffy I’m still questioning those involved. I’m so glad
that Mackenzie grew a backbone and went after the truth.
Even when her heart and mind were at war over Baz, she still
continued forward. I still have my doubts about him though.
It was definitely filled with everything you would need in a book.
Loved it …can’t wait for “Bury Me With Lies”(2/2020)
The first-ever thing I have read by this author and my god what a fabulous ride this was.
The first in a romantic suspense duet this was such a twisty and turbulent experience.
I felt so many contradicting emotions both during and after this angry, sad, confused my heart and head fighting a constant battle with what I believed or what might actually be.
Even when the characters here managed to frustrate me so much I felt like screaming at them I still was rooting for them all the same.
Makenzie, I loved her just so much she was a trifle batshit but who could blame her considering.
She wasn’t the most logical tool in the box but she had such heart in everything she did even if her decisions and spy-skills sucked hairy balls.
I also loved Baz at least when he wasn’t behaving like a tool I adored how dirty and emotional his and Makenzie’s encounters were, His Dirty-girl nickname for her was just so hot.
These two had so much chemistry they could start a forest fire together they really did sizzle.
This is a story of secrets ones that are hidden and buried so deep an industrial size shovel may be needed just to uncover them.
But no matter what she has to do including using Baz to uncover the truth our girl is determined to succeed and get vengeance for her sister’s life cut short.
Such a page-turner I couldn’t put this down and I read in one entire sitting I was absolutely transfixed from the moment I picked this up and what a finale: I need the next part of this like yesterday.
I have no idea what’s going to go down in the concluding part of this but can’t bloody wait.
This is a five-star read all the way and I highly recommend this twisty suspenseful story.
This one gets a huge thumbs up from me.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Kiss Me With Lies.

Dropping into a world that SM Soto has created is always a thrilling, edge of your seat experience. All the elements are here – mystery, suspense, the bad boy, the girl suffering loss after loss and honestly so much angst I’m still a bit hungover. Especially with that cliffy. Yep, proceed with caution, this is just the first one!
Mackenzie and Baz both have a voice here, and man are they a force and man are they different. Together they are HOT. This world is nothing but lies, revenge, deceit and sex.
How could I not recommend that?
OMG What just happened? That cliffhanger left me speechless and I was so not prepared. Kiss Me With Lies was gripping and engrossing and I could not put it down. This romantic suspense had me consumed from beginning to end with its secrets, its vengeance, the romance and chemistry. With twists and turns I was not expecting, this story was unique and angsty and I loved every minute of it. It takes you on one of the wildest rides ever with characters that will jump out at you and who you will be rooting for throughout the story. This was a phenomenal read and I would highly recommend it to all lovers of romantic suspense. I can’t wait for book 2 to see how it all ends.
OMG What have I just read?
I love the author’s other books and I knew I was in for a ride but this story??? Never have I thought it’s going to take me on this crazy ride.
That’s another level for romantic suspense books and this story definitely tops them all . The angst, the steamy moments, the past and the cliffhanger ending? Mind blowing.
I am still collecting all the pieces of my heart after finishing Kiss Me With Lies as S.M.Soto has blown my mind away . It was romance. It was mystery. It was psychological warfare. It was sinful , angsty and uniquely adventurous.
The outline of the story is very simple. McKenzie is out to take revenge on the filthy rich and obscenely powerful group of men for murdering her twin sister in high school. The small town never believed her story as she had no proof but she cannot let it go. And in the process, she meets Baz King. Again. And she gets to know him in a deeper and meaningful level. She is falling for one of the suspect and she has to make a decision. Will she be able to uncover the truth or it will be too late for her life?
Having said that, the execution is beyond complicated. I swear she was playing with my mind expertly. Because I had no idea what is true and what is deception. Most of the times I was in a fog of doubt, tension and anxiety! I was anticipating and dreading each page like it was a game of chess and it will be checkmate anytime. So many facades blend seamlessly here. The characters are full of contradictory elements. McKenzie is broken, devastated and empty from all the darkness in her life. But the very same woman turns into a vixen and a siren with strength, sass, smart and resilience. She can bring any enemy down on their knees yet she is scared and torn between her choices. I am still figuring out who is Baz. He wears a mask for everyone else but he is surprisingly protective and caring of Mckenzie. He has own broken edges and burdens. But some moments make me wonder if he is really one of those heartless and vile Savages. He sure holds the same cocky and arrogant attitude. I hate his friends with everything.
Baz and McKenzie is dancing a dangerous, sensual and heartbreaking dance. They are caught in webs of lies, deceit, death and vengeance. Their hearts are tainted and bruised. Their chemistry will set your body and heart on fire. And they feel this soul deep connection. But it may not be enough. And that ending was literally the biggest cliff-hanger over. I am feeling murderous! No curse and scream will be enough!
Kiss Me With Lies by S.M.Soto gave me the cruelest and most epic book hangover ever. This is an incredible story with jaw dropping story line, scorching hot passion and intense emotions beyond my imagination. Your heart is going to get hurt, confused and completely satisfied.
Received ARC for Honest review
5 Vengeful Stars
S.M Soto has completely and utterly SLAYED this revenge driven romance. From start to finish she has you on the edge of your seat waiting with bated breath as to what’s going to happen next. I was mesmerized from the first sentence of the first page and she held me in her grasp until the very last word. I could not get enough of this emotionally captivating and intensely wild ride. Seriously, I had to have highlighted at least 90% of this book!!!
**To love. The hard kind. The dangerous kind. The two souls catching fire and incinerating kind. The kind that promises to destroy you, and you still enter in willingly.**
At the start it’s pretty straight forward as to what kind of story this is. But S.M Soto pulls zero punches when executing this complicated tale of revenge. As soon as you think you know what’s going on, she throws a wrench in that thought process and your left with your mouth gaping. I wanted to throw my Kindle on multiple occasions, and I wanted to scream at that end. But I would not change a thing about this story.
**She smells fucking divine. Like trouble and mine all wrapped in a sexy little package.**
Mackenzie is this character that is so much stronger than she realizes. She has been through a lot and so many people in her life have let her down. She was verbally abused regularly to the point that she has no idea who she even is. She never had the chance to live outside her twin’s shadow and due to this she’s become a shell of herself. The person she see’s in the mirror does not represent the person she is, but it’s as if she doesn’t know how to break free. Even though she’s lost I absolutely love her. I can see her strength and her beauty from within that she tried so hard to change. What she went through and had to survive endeared her to me on a physical level, my heart ached for her.
**“Open that pretty mouth for me.” When I do, he slips the material inside and watches me with heat in his eyes. “So, fucking sexy.”**
Baz is a dirty talking Alpha male wrapped in bad decisions and orgasms. This man is a mystery to me. He keeps a huge part of himself hidden throughout this story. But on the surface what you find is seriously a man that is dripping with orgasms. I can’t say this enough because it’s true. I absolutely loved his Alpha possessive side when it comes to Mackenzie. It is the sexiest thing to see a man claim what is his. And every time they are in the same room you can feel the sexual tension engulfing the entire space they are in. Their chemistry burned through the pages of my Kindle nearly incinerating the device, it’s Pure Freaking Fire!!!!
**If a look had a color, this one would be muted shade of redwoods in the forest. An affair of golden honey and midnight green.**
I did not want this book to end, I became obsessed with this story and all the character’s involved. S.M Soto takes you on a wild ride, full of twist and turns with the most EPIC cliff hanger of the year, that will leave you reeling and wishing the second book was out already. If I could I would give this more than 5 stars because it deserves them ALL. Read this story today and buckle up for an intense read that will leave you wanting more.
An evil girl with the prettiest face was her twin sister.
The popular girl, and the chubby outsider. That’s what they were, now there are no longer two, just one.
Justice was never served, and the case was never solved. Nine years later and she cant forgive, nor forget.
She will bring them down, the five savages that did this… every nook and cranny will be explored until the truth is free…
Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!! What the beep did I just read?!?
Edge of my seat, nails bitten to the quick, heart racing mind galloping.. wowsers!
Characters of hate, and evil doings, hiding in plain site amongst the general public verses she the girl who was forgotten by her family, and accused by the masses.
I thought I was reading a romance, but dont mistake it for a simple story of boy meets girl its sooooo much more than that!
The suspence, the drama, the intrigue oh it was almost too much, and then the ending.. my phone was flying, I dont care who knows it!
I neeeeeeeed the next book I’m desperate for more that’s how good this book is!
I dont often beg, but for this I am more than willing to!
Five stars from start to finish! I want to give it more but alas that’s the rating.
So I don’t know where to start with this review. I have to say I am a little off with this one. Kiss Me with Lies was not an easy five-star. The ride to get there was one hell of a ride. I would take it over and over.
Kiss Me with Lies is a story that will break your heart, twist you up inside, and in some ways, put you back together, BUT not all the way. Since this is part one, S.M will leave you hanging so that you will not be able to be put back together. The only thing that keeps you going is the hope you have in the characters you have read.
Baz and Mackenzie are characters you wish you read in every book. It has been 12 hours since I put this book down, and they are still in my head. Hell, they were in my dreams after I stopped reading. The lies, sex, arguments, and even conversations they had kept you on your toes. You want to read every word so that you don’t miss anything.
Kiss Me With Lies is one of the very best books of 2019! I will be buying the paperback of this book. I loved it that much!!

FIVE FREAKING AMAZING STARS!

To sum up how this bad boy made me feel is simple: Rollercoaster ride!

S.M. Soto did an excellent job with this book. I can honestly say that Kiss Me With Lies is one of my top read of 2019! By far the best book she has ever written and shared with us.
.
This book had ALL of the best things going on for it. I mean, I was hooked from the get-go It started simply yet extremely intriguing; it definitely showcased Selena’s extraordinary writing skills. The story was epic! I loved the mystery, secrecy, and lust-filled scenes.
.
KMWL is a tale of suspense, betrayal, and passion!
.
I loved Mackenzie and Baz so muchhhhh! Their chemistry is off the freaking charts like I haven’t felt so flustered by a book in so so so long but for them or actually because of them I couldn’t help myself…
.
This story will capture your attention right from the start and by the end, you will be a slave for the next one; trust me…
.
Please read it and don’t be too hard on your kindle at the end of it, we’ll at least try(I was gobsmacked and shooketh for like 2 hrs).
Whaaat!!!!! Wow…I’m speechless! This is a story like no other. What a wild, suspenseful ride. Mackenzie Wright and her twin Madison couldn’t be any different if they tried. One was the good, quiet girl. The other was the pretty, wild one. They might of not been the closest but they were still sisters…twins. When one event ends in murder can Mackenzie ever get over the loss? 9 years later she still wants to know the truth of what happened to Madison and one discovered photo will be the key to unlocking the mystery. Who was involved and what really happened? She wants answers…vengeance and 5 wealthy men might have the answers she is looking for. They were called the savages…the town royalty…The Kings

So many questions you just have to read to find out what happens in this twisted, dark, mysterious romantic suspense that keeps you guessing until the very end. Baz Kingston is yummy and his chemistry with Kenzie is beyond perfection. Can she trust him is the question though. I can’t say anymore so you’re just going to have to read this masterpiece for yourself. Told in dual POV and ends in a MAJOR CLIFFHANGER!!!!!! I need more!
What. Did. I. Just. Read.? There are no words to how awesome this book is! Kiss Me With Lies by S.M Soto is just jaw dropping good! Her style of writing had me intrigued since the get go and didn’t let go! You are left wondering what the hell did I just read in the best possible way.
Both Mackenzie and Baz are so complex you want to know more about them both as a couple and individually. Together their chemistry is explosive…their push and pull relationship is addictive- and you can’t help but wonder if what they will get their happy ever after.
If you are familiar with Mrs. Soto’s writing you know how her mind works so expect a rollercoaster of emotions OMG moments, I didn’t see that coming at all moments, but rest assured she will deliver in giving you an amazing reading experience despite the dreaded cliffhanger that dares ask what happens now??
Easily one of the best books I have read this year!
Rate: 5/ 5 stars
I’m kind of dead after reading this. S. M. Soto better give me book 2 soon because it’s been days and I am still not over that ending. Talk about an EPIC cliffhanger!
Kiss Me With Lies was nothing short of a brilliant story… it had everything I crave in a romantic suspense, from an incredible plotline to amazing characters, enthralling secrets and an explosive chemistry between the main characters. And guys.!!! It was so darn explosive, you ain’t ready!!! Baz and Mackenzi were combustible. From the first moment they met you could feel the chemistry sizzling between them and when they fell between the sheets… WOW, I’m talking caliente here, very very caliente.
Baz was a sexy alpha like I haven’t encountered in a while. I fell for his dirty, dominant and mysterious sides and when you see him fall in love… heart= gone.
Mackenzi, this girl. My heart hurt for all that she had been through. She lost her twin sister and shortly after her parents too. This girl is a lonely girl that has hidden behind a mask ever since that one faitful night. She is a girl seeking the truth and most of all seeking vengeance for her sister and for herself.
When Baz falls in her way, she falls hard but never loses sight of her goal, her endgame, no matter if that ends up breaking her in the end. I loved her strength and determination. She better get her desired vengeance and her HEA in book 2 or else… as for the Savages, I hope we find out what exactly they have been hiding all these years and I hope they are somewhat redeemable.
Kiss me with Lies is a MUST read! If you love romantic suspense, dominant heros and strong heroines, you need this book!
Gripping, suspenseful page turner with one helluva cliffhanger, Kiss Me With Lies will leave you punching the pre-order button for the sequel, Bury Me With Lies. S.M. Soto leaves readers on the edge in this duet.
Yes, it’s a suspense. But there is a love story in here. A sexy, scintillating, pussy clenching love story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Bad boy billionaire Sebastian, or Baz for those he likes, comes across as cold and manipulative, but we get to see his POV and there’re a good guy in there. A good guy who’s also a master in the bedroom. And he falls for Mackenzie, a girl from his past he doesn’t recognize.
After her sister’s murder, her life falls apart to some degree. Nine years later, she’s determine to bring her sister’s killer to justice. As she searches for the truth, she falls for Baz (and who the F wouldn’t?). But, we don’t know everything about Baz and it’s conceivable he helped to murder her sister.
Spoiler Alert
At the end of Kiss Me With Lies, it’s not looking so good for Mackenzie and Baz, but I have confidence he’s going to read that stack of papers she left him and he’s going to see that she’s not the gold digger his friends painted her out to be. And, I don’t believe for a minute he killed her sister. But, it won’t shock me if it turns out he helped his spoiled rich friends get away with the murder.
I’ll admit that at times I had a strong urge to scream at Mackenzie. I mean, first, has the chick EVER watched Cold Case files? And, her sister’s murder is a cold case. Only a total dumbass would save evidence linking themselves to a murder.
So, when she’s hunting around their offices – offices that didn’t even exist when they were all in highschool and the murder occurred – I was like, do yourself a favor and at least do some research on how cold cases are solved. Because it’s not by going through someone’s desk ten years after the murder.
But then, hey, she actually finds the clues she needs in someone’s office. So, yes, some suspension of disbelief is required to complete this book.
All that said, murderers aren’t always the most intelligent. They very often do make stupid mistakes that land them in prison. And, these rich spoiled kids believe themselves to be untouchable. So, why would they bother to go burn those bloody clothes linking them to a murder? Better to leave them buried because who would ever find the post it note with the coordinates leading them to said evidence? I mean, after all, it’s in a safe of an office that didn’t exist at the time of the murder.
All of that aside, towards the end, I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough. And somehow I KNOW there is more to Baz. He’s going to come through and have a mind boggling backstory. My prediction is Mackenzie and Baz are going to end up working together to bring down the monsters. And it’s going to be a hot, sexy, dangerous road to justice. And I for one can’t wait to read the sequel. My only complaint is that it’s not available RIGHT NOW to read.
OH MY DAMN!!! This book is simply breathtaking. I was blown away with Kiss Me Lies. The suspense, the angst, the heartache and the oh so swoon worthy BAZ!!!!! When I read the last chapter I had to read it again because I was like, surely she didn’t just leave us like that. There’s no way that Ms. Soto would that to us. Oh but she did!! This book is twisted and full of deceit that you don’t know who to believe. Right when I thought I knew something the floor was swept from under me again. This book is not predictable and you will be left second guessing EVERYTHING!! I need book 2!!!!!!! I’m dying after the ending!! I will say this, this book was not at all what I suspected and I love it that much more for it. Get ready for this ride guys because your not going to see what’s coming!
Holy Sh*t!!! I needed to take a minute to figure out the words to review this book. Nothing draws me to a book more then when there is an actual story besides the romance. This book does not disappoint. Sebastian and Mackenzie has an amazing connection right from the beginning. Unfortunately, the secrets of their past and her true identity will ruin them. I knew once I started this was going to end badly but I never imagined it would go like this. That cliffhanger was major and I don’t know how the hell I’m gonna be able to wait for book 2!
I wrote this review based on an advance reading copy that the publisher sent me.
„The line between right and wrong is blurring, and I’ve just willingly crossed it.”
Oh my… I tried to gather my thoughts for a few days to write something sensible about this book because S.M. Soto blew my mind so hard that I forgot how to make sentences. Kiss Me With Lies made me speechless. There are no words in my dictionary to express the total chaos that travels between my head and heart. Soto created a masterpiece. Completely remarkable and unputdownable story, that will steal your breath. Are you looking for a great romantic suspense? One-click KMWL right now.
From the first page I was drawn into the vortex of secrets, lies and unexpected events. Together with Mackenzie I tried to find an explanation for the mysterious death of her sister and on the way I gave my heart to Baz. Dear heavens, I’m not surprised that Mackenzie has fallen because this guy is just irresistible. A dirty-talking mofo, dangerous and intimidating, but also caring and vulnerable (but only for Mackenzie). He’s like your favorite candy – you know it’s unhealthy and you shouldn’t eat it, but you can’t resist and you have to lick it. I admired Mackenzie for her determination and persistence to get to the heart of the matter and also my heart hurt for her for everything she went through. That’s why I cheered on her and Baz so much- that girl deserved happiness, even if it conflicted with common sense. But gahhh, the chemistry between those two is simply combustible.
This book will knock you on your ass and leave you with your mouth agape. Soto has created the most surprising and thrilling romantic suspense EVER. And that ending?! I have no idea how to survive until I get the second part in my hands. After reading the ending, I wanted to throw my Kindle against the wall and scream in frustration. It’s like there’s a gaping hole in my heart and I can’t fill it without the answers. I need Bury Me with Lies asap!
