Tell me a secret…
CJ Carmichael hasn’t been able to get the vivacious blonde he spent four delirious days with off his mind. The blonde who was completely off-limits, but he couldn’t deny.
Tell me a secret….
CJ had no intention of pursuing her, but Tara Stevens knew what she wanted and it was him. Now six months later, their time together still haunts him. As much as he’s tried to talk … much as he’s tried to talk himself out of seeing her again, the craving is just too powerful.
Tell me a secret…
Tara is more than willing to spend an entire fantasy weekend with CJ. More than willing to hand herself over to him completely and fulfill his every desire. More than willing to pretend he owns her despite their age difference and Kayne’s disapproval.
Tell me a secret…
Sometimes fantasy becomes a reality. Sometimes people fall in love before they even know it – before they even know each other – and after it’s too late.
Tell me a secret…
Sometimes, beneath the sweetest secrets are the most deceptive lies.
Lie With Me is a dark erotic romance and can be read as a standalone novel. Please pay close attention to the use of the words dark, erotic, and romance. It has intense sexual situations, mild abuse and some violence. Reader discretion is advised.

Not sure why I never left a review for this book. Crazy because it’s a fave and a reread for me. Not sure if there was once a review and it was removed? But I’m currently rereading this book and I will leave a review now.
This is one of my top 5 reads ever. This book and series is dark and twisty with a mind bending romance.
Tara and CJ were once a fling. A fling that neither one could forget. Now they rekindle their romance but Tara’s secrets challenge them. Once Tara’s secrets come out all hell breaks loose.
This one is HOT! Sizzling! It’s sexy, dirty, and dangerous. Absolutely loved it, again! I loved that it was dark with a HEA. Now I can’t wait to read to the next book with London and Jett.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
I’ve read all four Decadence After Dark books this week in order devouring every one. To say I didn’t see CJ and Tara’s story coming would be a fib. What’s the honest truth is how much I didn’t expect this book to blow me away.
CJ, friend of Kayne and Jett. He’s the funny one, the comic relief needed in serious situations to keep you from losing your mind. He keeps everyone safe in dangerous situations and stays behind the scenes. Until Tara.
Tara is Ellie’s little sister. She’s a spit fire and lives life to the fullest while carrying around a huge secret. One weekend in Hawaii after Ellie and Kayne’s wedding and she know her heart is staying with CJ . However secrets and lies always have a way of catching up with you.
This is CJ and Tara’s story.
I’m so in love with this series. I’m beyond sad to know I’ve read the last book out but excited to know another one is coming soon. I think I went into this story thinking that it wouldn’t be as intense and the other stories had been. Why I even thought that knowing M. Never would never do that in this series is beyond me. This story blew me away and had me turning the pages as fast as I could read. At the climax of the book you could have knocked me over with a feather. I was totally blindsided and loved every second of it. This is a book and a series not to be missed.
M Never tell me a secret….. how do you do this? You get me every single time with your twist and turns but that is why I have a lot of love for you and your sexy sexy books.
4th book of the Decadence series is Tara & CJ´s story, although the heat is still sizzling in this book, the BDSM we experienced in the first 3 books takes a backseat. CJ and Tara´s story feels sweeter and more tender but still gives the intensity, suspense, and shock moments we grave.
Ahhh CJ, what’s not to love about this sweet, kind-loving badass and his infatuation for Tara, even though she hides something from him that he might never forgive.
Tara is not the girl I thought her to be, but I had my suspicions, although strong and fierce she got herself into a situation, and there might be nowhere out. Will her secret destroy what they just started or does love conquer all.
One of my favourite quotes in the book:
CJ: “My two favourite flavours. Macallan and you.”

Lie With Me is the fourth book in a five book series Decadence after Dark. This picks up one year after Kayne and Ellie married, and follows CJ Carmichael (Juice) and Tara Stevens (Ellie’s sister)
A year after Kayne and Ellie married, and CJ hasn’t been able to get Tara out of his mind. Kayne told him Tara was off limits, and he knew her dad dint like the thought of him with his daughter because of the ten year gap between CJ and Tara.
Tell me a secret…
CJ thought he’d go to New York for the weekend and fuck her out of his system
Tell me a secret…
Tara is more than willing to spend the weekend with him
Tell me a secret…
Tara has so many of them even a secret life. To keep this secret life from CJ, she lies and deceives him, even though she loves him. Tara breaks CJ’s trust.
Tara is heading down a dark and dangerous path, with no escape in sight, will CJ be there when she needs him the most, or has she lost him for good.
Lie With Me is the hardest book of M Never I read because of the rape, torture and body mutilation involved. That said the love and fun times and sizzling sex CJ and Tara share carries most of the weight in the novel. I was disappointed with Tara’s character in parts of the novel because I saw her as a stupid girl more than vulnerable due to the choices she made. Her brother in law Kayne and his friend Jett are scarey alpha males and CJ is no whimp either, and together they would have extracted her out of the situation she willingly walked into months ago. and I don’t see that M Never address this oversight properly.
CJ is an Alpha Male and a protector, and Tara never once turned to him for help. CJ found out himself the secret life Tara was living. He found out her lies and betrayal but is it too late to help her?
Lie with Me
Dark Romance (Decadence After Dark, Book 4)
By: M. Never
Narrated by: Sam Crowley, Muffy Newtown
There is something about this series that just keeps me coming back for more. After listening to Ellie and Kayne, I decided to jump into CJ and Tara’s story! CJ works with Kayne and Tara is Ellie’s little sister. These two have an attraction, but there are a few reasons they should not be together. First, CJ thinks he is too old for the girl, but moreover, she is the sister-in-law of his best friend! While they truly are a match, there are secrets, and Tara’s is so big, it may be the literal death of them. Coming off the suspense and excitement of Ellie and Kayne, I was really l looking forward to this book. The building of their relationship is incredibly steamy, but I wanted the meat of the story sooner! Once the thrills began, I then became invested in the couple and couldn’t wait to hear the outcome. With cameos by Kayne and Jett and a twist I didn’t see coming, I finally got to my happy place and enjoyed the story.
Sam Crowley and Muffy Newton really were one of the main reasons I enjoyed the book. They are a fantastic team, and bring out the best and worst in the characters. CJ and Tara each had a variety of emotions each on different parts of the scale, and this team could make you feel each one. I loved their performance.

Loved it!
“Tell me a secret” I LOVE this small sentence that CJ and Tara uses with each other!! Their story is so good…SO GOOD! What a twist with CJ’s friend and was happy with that outcome, the rotten person. I love this series and can’t believe it sat in my library so long, now I’m off to read Jett’s story, I just love him.
Well, this series just keeps getting better and better,
After finishing Ruined (book 3 in this series) I thought this author couldn’t top that, but to my surprise, she went and delivered yet another amazing book, this author has become a very fast favorite of mine.
In Lie with Me — We have Tara and Cj, and if you are reading this series in order, you will remember these two from previous books. Tara is Ellie’s sister and CJ works with Kayne. Well, this is their story, and boy is it an intense, hot, crazy ride. Like the previous books, this book holds more than just kinky, dirty sex. The plot to it holds your attention all the way through and it will have you flipping page by page trying to find answers. It’s not as dark as the last three to this series but that doesn’t make it any less amazing.
I want to sit here and mark off every single thing that happened in this book and rave on how god damn amazing this book and this series is, but I think going into it blind like I did… Is the best thing you can do. You won’t be disappointed. This author seriously cannot write a bad book, in my opinion, and I’m shamelessly in love with everything she writes. Just reviewing and having to remember it all has me wanting to go back for round two, which I think I will be actually doing before too long.
All I’m going to say is READ THIS SERIES!!
If I could rate it more than 5 stars, I would!
I loved Jett and London’s story! I can’t believe it took me so long to read this series, it is really great!
