He was my uncle’s friend, and I was too young for him. But in the heat of the moment, against the wall in a darkened hallway of an illicit club, none of those things mattered. It was just one night of giving in to what we both wanted. I never expected to see him two years later, sitting across me during a family dinner, encouraging me to do my internship for his business. On day one we both agree …
On day one we both agree that repeating that night would be a mistake. But it’s a mistake we can’t help but make again and again.
The rules are simple. We can’t tell my uncle. We have to be content with our hotel rendezvous. And we won’t fall in love.
But we both know we’re liars.

This is the third full-length romance book in Fiona Cole’s ‘Voyeur Series.’ This is Olivia and Kent’s story. Olivia is Daniel’s niece. Kent is Daniel’s business partner and long-time best friend. If you haven’t read the free prequel, “Watch With Me”, I advise you to go read it first. This will help the story make more sense.
With that being said, I didn’t really connect with this book or the characters. I didn’t get the feels and the story didn’t feel believable. It felt more like a forbidden relationship with hot sex. Kent and Olivia didn’t have that romantic connection. Olivia & her actions were on the immature side. I usual love age gap romances but this didn’t hit the mark for me. I did like Kent. He was charming, sexy, and protective.
I usually enjoy this author’s work, but this book missed the mark for me. I am looking forward to reading Daniel and Hannah’s story though.

3.5 forbidden stars!!! I am such sucker for forbidden reads and Liar was right up my alley. Older man – younger woman, yes please! Best friend’s niece…even better! I enjoyed watching Olivia and Kent navigate their relationship. Olivia being feisty as hell and Kent trying (and failing) to resist. Liar is a nice steamy addition to the Voyeur Series.
Well sweet and sexy hello! Liar had turned my heart into a sweet puddle of ice. Do you like slight forbidden and age-gap romance? Its one of my favorite genre and Liar fits with all the bells and whistle.
Alexander Kent and Olivia’s story were everything you want. Liar was sexy and sucessfully making me blushed and giggle like a crazy woman. Liar had captured the romance and the struggle on point. All the feelings were easily absorbed. I felt the connection and love so much beyond just a steamy story. You dont want to miss the sexy Kent.. He know how to please a woman.. Olivia in particularly. 😉
Wow! Olivia and Kent’s story is AMAZING! It has it all and their chemistry is off the charts! This book will make you laugh and so aggravated. Be ready to read it all at once because you won’t be able to put it down once you start.
2 years ago Olivia had sexy time with a gorgeous man known as Kent in the club co-owned by her uncle.
Forward to now imagine her suprise to be sitting at her uncle’s dinner table to discover Kent the same man who has often plagued her mind over the last 2 years staring at her. Although now learning that he is Mr Alexander Kent and it has been arranged for her to do her internship at Mr Kent’s office.
What will happen next?
It is decided that this can never happen again, her uncle must never know. Such a liar
Omg… I couldn’t put this book down. The chemistry between Olivia and Kent was perfect. I love a good forbidden romance and this hit the spot. I felt the heat and longing on every page. The Voyeur world keeps getting better with every book. I liked that there was angst but it didn’t overshadow the story. The story flowed easily from the first to last page. Olivia was a strong female character that went after what she wanted, which I enjoyed. Kent and Olivia had the hottest scenes! Kent is definitely the book boyfriend you will be in love with. I seriously can’t wait for the next book!
I loved this book! Fiona Cole is a master at hot, forbidden love stories. Kent and Olivia had amazing chemistry and tension. This was a fast paced story and I could not read it fast enough. I will definitely be recommending this book to everyone!
Excuse me, Miss! Fiona Cole can do wrong when it comes to sizzling, red-hot forbidden romance with feels. I was completely captivated from page one. I did absolutely ZERO with my life while reading. This was the definition of unputdownable!
Kent and Olivia were amazing. Their story was fantastic and their romance was passionate, consuming, and blazing. I’m surprised my fire alarm didn’t go off every time I turned the page. Kent is all alpha goodness (just how I like them.) The man kept me in a perpetual state of swoon and I was here. For. It.
But there’s more to Liar than steam. Fiona Cole is a master of ramping up the heat and then knocking us all over with an avalanche of feels. Oftentimes in the same chapter. It’s the absolute best!
If you’re looking for a mouthwatering, forbidden romance, low angst, the perfect amount of feels, and an alpha hero that won’t quit, RUN and download Liar. Right the hell now. 5 flaming stars.
Fiona did it again. She brought alllll the fire with this book. Heck, with this whole series! I’m a sucker for age-gap stories and she didn’t disappoint with this one. Liar went right to the top of my favorites.
I KENT! Do I need to say more?! This man was definitely one of my favorite heroes. He was sweet and thoughtful, while being completely naughty and sexy. He was sin personified! Once he realized the true depth of his feelings for Olivia, he was all in. No looking back. I adored that about him. He wore his heart on his sleeve and Olivia was his end game.
Olivia was young, but I admired her fierce spirit and independence. She was a strong woman who wanted to make her mark in the world and not be seen as just a pretty face. I didn’t understand her actions towards the end which caused some conflict between her and Kent. So, I’ll just chalk it up to being young and vulnerable.
Fiona’s writing is great. She knows how to incorporate all the feels while turning the heat up. I recommend the entire Voyeur series. You’ll be grinning from ear to ear, while fanning yourself!
4.4 stars
Holy hell. I have no qualms saying how much I live for all the words from this amazing author. She can write taboo so well. Actually, that is an understatement. She is one of the best at writing taboo. This book is just another example of that.
I LOVED Kent. I loved his mouth, his demeanor, and his loyalty. Moreover, I loved that once he realized that Oliva was worth the risk of going all-in he had no qualms about laying all of his cards on the table. The steam in this one? HOLY HELL. Some of her best stuff yet, which says something because this woman can write some steam. Oliva was enjoyable for the most part. She is the reason that this book didn’t get a higher rating. There were times that she seemed all together and confident. However, there were times that reminded me that she was not “older” and her lack of immaturity was a bit much to handle. Especially, towards the end on how she handled things between her and Kent. There just seemed to be something off about their connection which in turn made me feel like I was missing something from the story in regards to dynamics. This is silly since I have been on this ride since the very first book in this interconnected series.
Even though this is not my favorite with all of these characters it was still SOOO good. I enjoyed getting glimpses of the previous characters and also a preview of what is to come next. I would get down on my knees and raise my hands in the air in praise to thank the author for what is to come but instead, I will just say that I am not worthy and the Queen should now instead be called Goddess because she is giving voice to someone that I have REALLY wanted to speak for a really LONG time!
It feels like I have been waiting forever for Kent and Olivia’s story! I have to say that after finishing this book that it was was definitely worth the wait.
If you have read ‘Voyeur’ then you will remember Oaklyn’s best friend Olivia. Olivia always seemed carefree and spirited while Oaklyn was more serious, with the world on her shoulders. In ‘Liar’ Olivia’s carefree world is starting to slowly close in around her when she sees Alexander Kent again. These two have a past that is deliciously dirty and their chemistry is still as strong now as it was two years ago. I loved every secret moment between Olivia and ‘Kent’.
Kent is my ideal book boyfriend. He is strong, determined, sophisticated, caring, and knows how to make a book page scorch your fingertips with his heat. But there were moments when their seventeen year age gap showed (Olivia is 21 and Kent is 38). Olivia was at times too careless and wishy washy when it came to her relationship with Kent. I may be biased though because I love Kent so much.
I really loved this story, but I really felt like there was an important element missing; the story of how Olivia and Kent met. I highly recommend reading the novella ‘Watch With Me’ before diving in to ‘Liar’ so you can get a better understanding of their relationship.
ARC REVIEW
An incredibly hot and steamy read, a taboo story that will leave you burning from the inside out, blushing if you are reading with people around you and extremely satisfied with what you just read.
‘Liar’ by the incredible Fiona Cole is a taboo story that will own your heart and soul from the get-go, a book part of her ‘Voyeur series’ that will have you panting with every chapter, wishing you were part of the book somehow and fulfilling every of your darkest fantasies.
Fiona Cole, in my opinion, is one of the best out there when it comes to taboo stories, age-gap stories, stories that blur the line between right and wrong, stories that sometimes push you out of your comfort zone, but nevertheless stories you can’t get enough of.
This is a very hot, very taboo novel, an age gap romance with a bit of kink thrown in there to spice things up, something different from the norm, something that may not be suited for everyone, something that will have your mind running wild and your body too.
Olivia is a talented young woman, she is drop-dead-gorgeous, the looks of an angel mixed with a little bit of evil make her a magnet for men, she is smart and confident, she likes to act tough and act as if everything is okay, she has been hurt one too many times and is not willing to be vulnerable, putting her heart on the line again.
She is sassy and sarcastic, a little fireball who could do anything she wants if she puts her mind into it, the only problem is that nothing in her life excites her, nothing lights a spark inside of her anymore.
That is until the stranger that gave her the best night of her life over two years before, turns out not to be as much of a stranger but more like her uncle’s best friend, a powerful man that comes with a proposition she can’t refuse.
Kent is an incredibly powerful businessman with a sharp and calculating mind and a particular taste of things in bed.
He is devilishly handsome, a loyal to the fault partner, a caring friend and a passionate person who’d never do anything to hurt anyone, unless they want and ask for it obviously.
He is an alpha male through and through, the kind of man you notice straight away in a room full of people, a dominant by nature, and a damn good Dom.
Kent is a man who wouldn’t throw away years and years of friendship over a woman, no matter how beautiful, smart, appealing she is, no matter how strong their attraction is and how well they connect both physically and intellectually.
But sometimes, there are some things that become unavoidable no matter how much you try.
No matter their age difference and their respective roles, their connection and passion is off the charts, a beautifully written forbidden story that will melt your brain alongside your underwear.
An angsty novel written not for the faint of heart, a powerful message that comes across loud and clear, a message that prompts you to be brave, to be open, to be fearless, to love unconditionally no matter the circumstances.
A story that has flawed characters who are not trying to be perfect, who are not trying to be something they are not, truthful and wonderful characters that will leave a part of them behind with you, for you to take courage from and to always remember.
This book is shamelessly beautiful, a powerful love story with the ability to make you dream, bring you hope, put joy in your heart, give you the boost you need to take the leap, to jump, to go after what you want, to not be ashamed of what makes you, unapologetically you.
A must-read if you love a good forbidden age gap romance that will light you on fire, put the goofiest of smiles on your face, steal your thoughts and make your heartbeat just a little bit harder, faster, stronger.
I have read several of Fiona Cole’s books. Olivia and Kent’s story was a little extra something. Kinky maybe? I loved that Kent seemed to be pining for Olivia. Whereas Olivia just wasn’t sure they could really be together. They had serious chemistry! I loved both of their relationships with Daniel. Great steamy read!
What a GREAT book!!!! I loved Olivia and Kent’s story and it certainly took some twists that I didn’t see coming. I always enjoy when author’s bring in characters from other books in a “series” if you will and it was nice to see some familiar faces from the Voyeur world in this book. I was reading quickly to find out what was going to happen and if Olivia or Kent would be willing to bend to be with the other, you will have to read to find out and I promise you will not be disappointed in this book.
This is the first book I’ve read by Fiona Cole and can I just say WOW ! I was blown away by this steamy sexy age gap romance it was deliciously written , I fell in love with both characters immediately and was drawn into this story from the start . Olivia and Kents chemistry was off the charts hot and I loved how drawn to each other they were and could not keep there hands off each other when they were close to one another, I even laughed and giggled at some of the dialect between Olivia and Kent . This was a sexy , steamy forbidden age gap romance that I absolutely fell in love with and highly recommend and I am now going to devour everything I can get my hands on by this author . Definite 5 stars from me for this brilliantly flawlessly written forbidden romance its a page turner that you don’t want to miss !

Liar is provocative & clandestine, drawing you in right from the first page.
Beautifully written. Story felt authentic.
I loved the banter between the couple. The heroine was strong and knew herself even though shes young. The hero, much older than the heroine, was dominant and easy going. Found this unique blend refreshing to read. They fit well together despite their age.
Both have trouble opening up completely, and giving love another chance. The end did not disappoint. I’m eager to dive into the voyeur series.
I always end a Fiona Cole book with a contented secret smirk. A secret smirk because of the delicious, blush-worthy words that are always immersed throughout an enriched emotional story that goes beyond the stereotypical smutty romance.
I first read Kent and Olivia’s story in Fiona’s newsletter and this second time around with the enhancements and changes was even better! Their immediate attraction is explosive and off the charts hot. I just love Kent’s cocky dominant play-boy attitude. Olivia’s stubbornness plays off him so so well! They fall hard and fast for each other though it means so much more than they ever could have imagined. But when Kent decides he wants something, he goes hard for it. Olivia’s self-doubt creeps in though, and his love for her leads him to give up control.
This one is full of sweet and funny banter, and the fact that these two characters truly enjoy each other pours off the pages…just as their dirty sexy chemistry does! Whew! Older man, younger woman…a touch of forbidden…great dialogue…incredible panty-melting scenes…wholehearted emotions? Check, check, check, check and check! I adore Fiona’s words and this world. Keep it coming! 5 sizzling stars for Liar!
Did you say forbidden romance? Heck, yeah! This age-gap romance is filled with tension and heat. And of course, Kent and Olivia are FREE in Kindle Unlimited!

The level of steam in this book had me at an all time high!
I was completely hypnotized by Alexander Kent and Olivia Witt. These two had such hot chemistry that it would leave your sheets wet.
This whole book, my god I was just so captivated with this book, the trope, the angst, the level of anxiety and the steamy sex scenes — I mean I love these books and no one does it better than Ms. Cole here. She knows how to capture your attention from the first page (hello!) and you will keep going and going until you get to the last page without thinking of breathing for a second. That’s how good this book was!
To have to be that in love with someone who is almost 17 years older than you, I think that’s super hot. I mean, I’ve never been there and I’m too old now to even go about liking “older” men but reading these books gives me such a high because it’s something that obviously I never thought or considered of doing in my young adult life. But if a right man (much older man) comes along and a beautiful young woman falls for him, then kudos to her because we all know mature men know how to treat a woman.
Kent and Olivia had a wild ride together and I went along that ride with them and I loved every minute of it!
The Voyeur series is definitely a top series for me and I can’t wait for Daniel and Hannah’s story next!!
