A dirty, dirty, dirty, sexy read! Ronan’s filthy, foul mouth is absolutely delicious and Catie’s girlish, optimistic enthusiasm is a delightful contrast to her man’s devious ways.
Wow, she did it again! Another great book by V! If you have not read her, put her on your list! Her books rock!
The one she wanted was too old for her when she met him, no matter how much he wanted her back at the time. Now she is old enough and she is going after what she wants. Catherine is very amusing and Ronan is very much her opposite in all ways, but they just work. He is just a man trying to make his way to prove his worth. I love the stuff with her family toward the end when the truth comes out.
A hot sexy read. Ronan is an Irish alpha male who falls hard for Catherine. Love how they relationship progressed.
Favorite quote: “Sometimes, without rhyme or reason the heart truly did want what it wanted. Even if the brain chimed in and said it was a bad idea. There was no greater strength than a beating—wanting heart.“
a quick read with some real heat. Catherine and Ronan have a spark that in the beginning could have ruined lives, But in the end the right choices were made. Now the time has come to stop fighting that spark and win the dirty bad Irish man. This was my first V. Theia book but I loved the writing and the world she created that it won’t be the last
OMG I want Ronan for my own! If you are looking for a naughty Irish man to love, look no further than Ronan. Hot, successful, cocky and unattainable, Ronan is all that Catherine has wanted since she was sixteen. Despite having been rejected by him, Catherine hasn’t moved on and six years later Catherine is determined to make Ronan take notice of her. Ronan has always wanted Catherine but she was too young when they first met, now Catherine is all grown up and hard to resist but will he finally claim her or will his secrets ruin them? A sexy read, that warms the heart and makes you long for your own Naughty Irish Liar.
Catherine has had enough of this situation. Five years have passed since she met the perfect man. She wasn’t old enough to follow her heart and he crushed it under his shoe. She tried to forget him, to move on but the heart wants what it wants. Now she has a plan to get him to see her as a grown woman and that they are perfect together. Ronan might be a successful owner of three pubs in New York but that doesn’t mean he has forgotten his past as a thief, a grifter. He didn’t feel worthy of Catherine and when he found out she was too young, he reacted badly. Now she is in his pub and asking for a job. Still as sweet and now off the charts sexy, he knows this is a disaster waiting to happen. Can she worm her way into his bed and his heart or will Ronan push her away for good?
Whoa, first off a disclaimer. Read this one in front of a fan, in a snow bank, something because it is off the charts HOT! The connection between Ronan and Catherine is insanely magnetic. Catherine is so brave to go after what she wants. I really admired her, her attitude and her focus, she is just amazing. Ronan is harder to figure out, he struggles so hard with his desire for Catherine but his possessiveness/jealousy is front and center. He is the definition of sexy and at the same time you want to smack him upside the head for being a jerk! V. Theia is a new to me author that I discovered a few months ago and I gotta say, this lady has mad, mad skills. She just sucks you in and doesn’t let go until the story is done. Even then, you are still thinking about her characters and the story. Naughty Irish Liar was simply phenomenal and I can’t wait to read more from this super talented lady. All the stars for Catherine and Ronan!
A bad boy who doesn’t want to be tamed and a good girl who refuses to give up on what she wants. What’s not to love?
The chemistry is electric from the first pages with these two. They clash fiercely and love hard, they’re made for each other.
We’re given love, emotion, hotness and laughter, all the things we’re used to getting from V Theia and her characters.
A great St Patrick’s day read, with hints of a future generation to come.
Tá tú mo chroí, mo anam, mo ghrá agus mo shaol. I gcónaí agus go deo. You are my heart, my soul, my love and my life. Always and forever …
Can a person fall in love at 16 and spend years trying to make it happen? This is the love story of Ronan and Catherine and it is one sexy adventure. When a princess falls for an Irish bad boy there is no stopping the lengths she will go to have her hearts desire. She is patient, she is as calculating as her love struck naive heart can be and she is determined. Go get your man Catherine! I loved this story and watching it unfold. Ronan is so bad and not only plays Catherine’s body like a string instrument, but lets her think she is doing all the chasing. As the old Irish Proverb says “Your feet will bring you where your heart is.” Their chemistry is off the charts! He is such a naughty Irish liar, but I can forgive a liar when the prize at the end is a hard bodied, tattooed, blue eyed bad boy.
This story gives you all the feels and all the down and dirty that I expect from this author. Her writing makes me break a sweat and I highly recommend this book.
This was a hot sexy read about Catherine and Ronan. Loved their interaction and banter. I seriously couldn’t stop reading until I finished this sexy thrilling intriguing story. Catherine knew who she wanted and wouldn’t stop until she got him. And Ronan, even though he was a jerk, sigh, he was a huge teddy bear for his acushla. Loved this sexy yummy story and I can’t wait to read more by V. Theia.
I absolutely loved this book! Ronan and his little carrot-topped princess are definitely in the running for couple of the year. After being forced to walk away from each other for moral reasons (ugh, can you imagine?), Catherine injects herself back into Ronan’s life determined for them not to walk away from each other ever again. There are some seriously hot scenes in this book and some internal soul searching that really sets the tone for Ronan and Catherine’s relationship. Ronan calls himself a liar throughout the book (not to the title), but you never really understand why…until we discover what he’s keeping from Catherine, and boy does it knock your socks off and make you fall in love with him for so many more reasons that those you’ve already spent the entire book fawning over him for. This book is good, hands down, from the first chapter all the way to the extended epilogue.
Catherine, I knew she would be a little spitfire the second we met her. A red-headed little minx that knew exactly who and what she wanted. A girl can relate, right?! She’s not the expected princess you would think when you meet her, as her family is filthy rich, but she works and enjoys it. And she even tried to seduce her man at 16, girl has some cojones! She was the perfect combination of wit, brains, capable and has a real backbone.
Ronan, my what a view we have here. I have yet met a male written by V. Theia that I didn’t enjoy and want for my own. Alpha, hardworking and Irish, what a lethal combination! You couldn’t have dreamed of a better man for Catherine.
I loved this book, like so many of V. Theia’s. I never tire of this world she has so intricately woven but has kept separate at the same time. While it is not REQUIRED to read her other works (Taboo Love Duet and Manhattan series, in particular) I would highly recommend that you should, because you really can’t miss out on this world that you would love to live in.
“With this girl my control had been pulled taut for so long and now it had broken its leash. I just hope she knew what she was getting into with me because there was no letting her go now.” V. Theia
Team Lie To Me MacNam !!!!
I completely adore an asshole hero who isn’t truly an asshole. And Ronan MacNamara fit that bill perfectly. I loved all his gruff ways and how ultra possessive and jealous he was over our heroine Catie. She’d waited five years to grow up and face the man she loved on equal terms, having lied to him when she was 16 right before anything between them could heat up. Ronan said some harsh things in his anger and is completely thrown when Catie walks into his bar.
As the reader we are privy to how Ronan feels, the draw and pull he has to Catie is off the charts delicious. They have some amazing push/pull scenes where Ronan isn’t all that nice, but we can see his longing for her. I loved that he was a liar!
Fave quote: “I love you.” I told him.
“Ahh, Catherine.” He kissed my lips once, twice and then a third time. A rakish grin on his face. “You have no choice in the matter now you’re mine. Liars do whatever they can to keep what is theirs. I intend to love you so hard, so long, that on any given day it’s a chore to crawl out from under my body to go about daily life.”
Great banter, hot, hot STEAMY HOT scenes. Seriously delicious dirty talk and a HEA that made me swoon.
What I love about VT books is she always gives the best epilogues and secondary characters who I need to see again. By the end I felt well and truly Intelluctually f*cked in all the best ways!!! Her words have a way of just making all mushy and feely.
It was so good to see familiar characters pop up in this book too. Loved that. I was left happy and satisfied.
Let me start with saying…where can I get a hot Irishman like Ronan??!!! This story blew me away! I loved these characters so much that they are ingrained in my heart forever. The story of Catherine and Ronan will most definitively pull at your heartstrings and give you all the feels you ever wanted. Catherine has loved Ronan since she was young, but because of that fact, they couldn’t be together. Forward a few years and Catherine is determined to get her bad boy Irishman. When Ronan sees her again after all these years, he knows he wants her, but because of the past, he is hesitant. But Catherine pulls out all the stops and will do anything to get him to fall in love with her. I read this book in one sitting as I just couldn’t put it down. It has humor, sadness, darkness, lust and love. And don’t get me started on the chemistry between these two…..downright sizzling!!! And I loved how the author sprinkled a few things in the story to make you love it even more. Please do yourself a huge favor and read this incredible story! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all you lovers!!!
Ronan and Catherine completely floored me with their story! Her young, first love infatuation with him that was almost something more. And him, being older and holding back, wanting to make himself better and give her a chance to grow up while secretly infatuated with her as well.
Five years later, the mouthy, bratty red head storms back into his life ready to prove just how much she’s grown up. They have a slow burning chemistry, a scorching heat with flaring tempers and insatiable appetites that were so arousing!
I loved the surprising twist towards the end and just how perfectly perfect these two were for each other. I’d love to have a filthy talking, lying Irishman like Ronan in my life!
I LOVED this sexy book! Ronan was just so perfect! I definitely recommend it!
I can say she became one of my favourite authors in no time. I don’t know how she does it but her books suck me right in. Like this one as well.
The hero is a dirty talking (but oh, so delicious) a$$hole. There is a not so significant age gap between the hero and the heroine. So he has to wait for her. When she after those years go to him everything is off the table.
I recommend this book if you wanted to read something light and hot.
Some romances are fated to happen in a blast of Irish lust 😀
I truly love this author’s prose as it sets the characters on fire for each other.
The female character is young, but not as young as she was when she fell for this Irish hunk she almost tempted into perdition. We get some insight into the past, but not before they reunite in the present with all the force of pent-up passion that’s too hot to deny.
I loved her bravado in the face of a man who is so, so terribly handsome.
It’s a good story of two lovers entangled in a few lies that cover their real feelings. St. Patrick’s Day marks their time together with preparations for a good Irish celebration. In the meantime, they pant and sweat in delight of the flesh. I enjoyed their games as she tries to hide her love with provocation and he does the same with gruff arrogance.
Lots of exciting intimacy and banter, then a final realization of a truth behind the lies that’s filled with love and happy epilogues. Very entertaining and hot 🙂
