Stolen Lies – Book 2 in Truths and Lies Duet
Nikki Ash and K Webster
5 Stars
An amazing conclusion to the duet! Very captivating! Both authors did a marvelous job!
“He stole her virginity and her freedom. He stole her happiness. For that, she will make him pay.”
Very highly recommend!
Great conclusion to an amazing story. Mafia stories are not my favorite genre but I love these authors and knew they would not let me down.
Stolen Lies is the conclusion to the Truth and Lies duet. K Webster and Nikki Ash! Kostas lives a life of violence and betrayal, now he must fight for love! Hidden lies ended in an epic cliffhanger. Now we finally get to see what happened to Talia. Dark Romance typically is not my favorite, but I loved this story!!
What an explosive conclusion!
Secrets revealed, questions answered, after the cliffhanger in Hidden Lies, Stolen Lies lived up to the title.
This is book 2 in the Truth + Lies duet, Stolen Lies cannot be read as a standalone.
That said, this is a must read! The writing was strong, sharp, and well paced.
What an explosive conclusion to this darkish suspenseful romance.
The much anticipated conclusion to the Truths and Lies Duet landed on my kindle and I jumped right in, needing all the answers. Out of all the scenarios I envisioned, none of them was this. I couldn’t believe what I was reading!
Jaw dropping, intense, bloody, violent, and steamy, Kostas and Talia’s story takes some twists and turns I didn’t see coming. The darkness continues, the suspense continues…can their unexpected love conquer all the odds against them? The lengths they both go to so they can find their happiness might make you want to hide your eyes, but it’ll also make your heart sing!
This was the perfect conclusion to this book. I loved how everything came together in the end. I love Kostas and Talia!!
Just wow! The last book in this duet ended on a cliffhanger. The last person I’d suspect kidnapped Talia and I won’t give it away here. I would definitely call Stolen Lies a Dark Romantic Suspense. Hey, bad stuff happens: family lies, blood, gore, sex. I started this duet really not liking Kostas, but by the end I certainly did! And Talia is not the innocent anymore. She grows by leaps and bounds in this book. Stolen Lies is a tangled web of deceit. You’ll really want to see who gets caught! 4 stars
OMG, this book is beyond explosive and what an ending! This is the second book in the Truth and Lies duet and it is not a standalone. Be happy that both books are available because once you start the first, you will immediately want to dive into the second. I will caution that this book, like its predecessor, is dark so if that is not your thing then I would make sure to read the description before continuing. Kostas is beside himself as Talia has gone missing and he has vowed to do everything he can to get her back. Will he succeed? This storyline feels like the pages are breathing as the chapters pass and there is no way to stop the emotions that are wrought as the reader becomes more invested in these characters and their journey. There is so much that can be said but as to not give anything away, all I will say is get this book for yourself! I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
Stolen Lies is the explosive follow up to Hidden Truths by K. Webster and Niiki Ash.
It was such a complex and intense read with thrills, twists, secrets, drama, angst, deception, deceit, passion and romance. The story does pick up after the huge cliffhanger ending in book 1 and boy does the story pick up and get right into the dark and twisted action. Kostas and Talia’s story will have you glued to this story all the way thru. You’ll be asking if Talia will be found in time, will Kostas get his vengeance and get his HEA. Will Talia and Kostas get their HEA and find their way back to one another ? Will the evil one get theirs ?
All the questions will be answered plus more !!! What a great read!!! Definitely has chemistry and heat plus the characters are outstanding.
My Rating: 4.8 stars **********
Stolen Lies is the sexy and exciting conclusion to the Truths and Lies duet. In this book you will find out what happened to Talia along with the dynamics that are going on between Kostas and Aris. This is a tale of loyalty,revenge, love and hate.It was a perfect ending to their story. This book was sensual, action packed and thrilling. I loved this duet and look forward to more from this duo.
K. Webster & Nikki Ash have outdone themselves! I was captivated by Kostas & Talia & it was worth the wait for the rest of their story!!
A must read that I couldn’t put down.
I voluntarily reviewed this book.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by the authors)…
Well as you can imagine as soon as this book popped up on my kindle, I had to read it ASAP.
I loved the entire book, even if it did hurt my heart muscle at times. I was hoping it wouldn’t be that type of book that where Kostas and Talia always keep missing each other by mere seconds type of thing (I strongly dislike those). However, it was nothing like that and we definitely start this book off with a bloody bang courtesy of Kostas, of course.
I loved Talia and Kostas, the King and His Queen, they handled their business, but unfortunately, their enemy is a quick slick buttmole who was too much of a coward to face his consequences.
I will say I was a bit scandalize (hehe) by a certain love scene between our couple, some serious 50 Shade vibes.
I know this sounds wrong especially with all the death and betrayal, but I didn’t want the book end and I was majorly sad while reading the epilogue.
I wonder if Phoenix will get his own book? Will Adrian get a book as well?
Okay the one thing that irked me a little was the final situation with Aris, I expected a bit more punishment and I wonder if Adrian ever got his chance for vengeance that he deserved.
Stolen Lies is the dramatic, jaw dropping conclusion of the Truths and Lies Duet! If you have not yet read Hidden Truths, you may want to skip this review as there may be spoilers in this review. OH. MY. GOD!!! I have been counting down the days until I got my hands on Stolen Lies ever since I finished the last page of Hidden Truths! K Webster and Nikki Ash did NOT disappoint! If you thought book one was full of suspense, you haven’t seen anything yet!
Stolen Lies picks up a year later from where Hidden Truths left off.
I’m coming for you, moró mou. I’m always coming for you. And one day I’m going to find you.
It’s been a year since Kostas Demetriou’s world got turned upside down and Talia is still missing.
Kostas has yet to give up looking for his wife. When Talia first went missing, there were a few months that Kostas worried she may have taken off. But now, there’s not a doubt in his mind that someone has taken her.
I need to destroy and wage war. I need blood. I need fucking vengeance.
Yet after so much time has passed with absolutely no leads, Kostas has begun to fear the worst and starts losing himself in a bottle to drown out the memories and fears.
But when little things start triggering his mob boss instincts, he knows it’s time to get himself together and start digging back into finding his wife.
But what he finds is more than he ever could have imagined and nothing could have prepared him for the level of deceit and betrayal he uncovers…
Now, Kostas is going to war and he won’t stop until someone pays.
Loyalty means nothing to that Demetriou. Loyalty means everything to me. This means fucking war.
You guys I want to say SOOOO much about this one! I mean seriously what a jaw-dropping conclusion! I finished hours ago and my heart’s still pounding! Stolen Lies is just as suspenseful, dark, passionate, fast-paced and action-packed as Hidden Truths, PLUS SOME! The story line, the writing, the characters, the mythology, I have loved absolutely everything about the Hidden Truths and Stolen Lies Duet!
Talia and I are the earth, the sun, the stars, and everything in between. We’re evil and good, wrapped in one complicated ball of love. She challenges me. I provoke her. Vases get broken and words get said. Sometimes we fight like hellions straight from the bowels of the Underworld. But we love hardest of all. Fully. Passionately. Dangerously.
If you thought Kostas Demetriou was dark and dangerous before, you haven’t seen anything yet! And now that he has his family back he is ten times more protective and ten times more in love. He’s still the ruthless mob boss that he’s always been but now, now he wants vengeance and he will stop at absolutely nothing to get it, no matter who he has to go against. I love his dark and devious side, but I adore his little sweet moments with his family too. I thought Kostas was swoon-worthy before, but now… my oh my.
Talia meets my fire with gasoline. She taunts and draws out the beast inside me.
Talia has grown leaps and bounds since Hidden Truths and I am so impressed by the character growth from her since book one. She has gone from a young unwilling wife to a badass mafia queen! She is more than ready to protect her family, no matter what she has to do. She’s not hiding behind Kostas anymore, she’s standing right beside him in their quest for vengeance.
Only a woman like Talia could ever have the backbone and fire to be able to stand beside a Demetriou. She’s fearless and determined. A fucking storm.
Talia and Kostas are a force to be reckoned with. An unwanted arranged marriage brought them together but love kept them together. They have proven time and time again that both of them are so much better together. Kostas brings out the fighter in Talia and Talia brings out the patient and loving side of Kostas. Things were already heating up between Kostas and Talia before she went missing and now that she’s back that spark burns even hotter! There is so much steam in this one it’ll have your Kindle melting!
Our love is violent and messy, destructive for those who dare near it. It slaughters and slays. Powerful and intimidating to those around it.
I’m a huge fan of K. Webster but I’m not familiar with Nikki Ash’s work, but after reading this I’m all over it! AND I found out that they have another co-write together, Heath, so that’s at the TOP of my TBR right now! Absolutely flawless writing, these ladies really delivered with this one, and I am still blown away. The Hidden Truths and Stolen Lies Duet will most definitely be on my TOP READS OF 2019. Bravo ladies, you guys did a hell of a job with this one.
Stolen Lies is full of twists and turns, violence, suspense, steam, and vengeance! I highly recommend checking out The Hidden Truths and Stolen Lies Duet, it is NOT one to be missed!
Fate drew us together —victims of a complicated history of our parents. Love kept us there.
– Stolen Lies is the dramatic, jaw dropping conclusion of the Truths and Lies Duet! Full of twists and turns, violence, suspense, steam, and vengeance the end of Kostas and Talia’s story is not to be missed!
– The chemistry has been OFF THE CHARTS between these two since they first met before they even knew who each other were. Things were already spicy before Talia went missing and now that she’s back that spark has only grown even hotter! There’s so much steam it’ll have your Kindle melting!
– Nope, no cliffhanger. Talia and Kostos finally have they’re hard-earned happily ever after!
– There are difficult subjects that could be considered triggers.

Here is the conclusion to Hidden Truths the dark mafia romance. This one takes us back into the angsty word with retribution being a key element. Plan for questions to drive the need to discover all. Where is Talia? What is Kostas doing to find her? Who do we trust? What is going to happen next?
This story has the fanciful feel that I love when reading a good romance. It offers a front row seat to the intense and often brutal telling as we find resolutions to the what was unanswered in book one.
Talia has upped her game in this one and shows not only creativity but backbone in being her own savior. GO GIRL! Even though I wasn’t always madly in love with him, Kostas knows how to bring on the sexy which is peppered throughout this book. He definitely represents what I think would be the mindset of someone that comes from the mafia lifestyle. Most importantly is he and Talia together are HOT. This story lives up to the reputation of these authors. Definitely experienced the “yum factor”. Wink!
In this book surprises continue to be revealed. Of course dark consequences occur for those who have dared to go after what Kostas and Talia hold dear. In this story trust trumps even family. Eek I am starting to feel “spoilerish” so it is time sign off. Let me leave you with my final thought. This is a great 4.5 star story that answers all in the Hidden Truth and Lies duet. Happy Reading Everyone!
This book takes you on the final journey of Kostas & Talia finding their happy ever after. Having to deal with shocking, unexpected events, can their love conquer all? Talia has grown to be a soft spot for Kostas, but he now must bring back his inner evilness to save his family. With pure vengeance on his agenda, he will prove to his allies & enemies who truly rules as king and queen. This was a fantastic conclusion full of drama, suspense, and Kostas finally realizing what true love is.
Sweet Baby Desus in a manger! Y’all better get ready, because this conclusion is crazy, fantastic! I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything that was thrown my way in this book.
Stolen Lies pics up and follows Talia, Kosta and the Demetriou crew right at a year after the major cliffhanger that we were left with a the ending of Hidden Truths. We finally find out what happened to Talia. The question is…What will Kosta do and say about information surrounding Talia’s disappearance when he comes face to face with the details? Who will be the recipient or recipients of his revenge? Will it be a new enemy or someone he once loved?
Talia was sweet, innocent, yet sassy in the first book. The Mafia Princess inside her shines in this book. We see a strength in her come out like never before. Sometimes you can find strength in the smallest of packages and that’s what happened here. She found hers. It got her through, gave her purpose and focus, and patience. She knew she needed to plan to escape perfectly to be able to get out of the situation she was in at the beginning of the book. I loved the Talia we got to see in this book. She was so amazing. She was even more loving and nurturing than in the first book. BUT she was also tough as nails and she had to make some life changing, split second decisions and she did them without hesitation. I think she grew into who she was destined to be in this book.
Kostas was suffocating himself in so much grief in the beginning missing Talia. That was hard to read. He was pining and letting himself go. I was glad for the realization of just how much he loved her to hit him, but hated it had to happen for him in that way. Now, in this book we get to see glimpses of a much softer side to Kostas. The was he is with Talia, made my heart-a- flutter. Kostas is definitely a character that makes heart rates go up and panties drop. There is something to be said for a man that can touch a woman tenderly with a hand that also was used to end someone’s life. So. Freakin.Hot!
I don’t want to give anything about this book away. So let me say, this story is a web weaved slap full of lies, secrets, scandal, and sex. It’s about murder, kidnapping, revenge and pure hatred. It’s full of so many suspense-filled moments of pure adrenaline rushing, heart-stopping, nail biting, hubby bring me some wine before I throw my kindle, moments. IT IS OFF THE FREAKIN CHARTS THAT GOOD!!

ALL THE FEELS
– There isn’t anything hotter that Talia and Kostas… Maybe like the eighth circle of Hades, but that’s about it. They are hotter than everything and everyone else though , and that’s hot AF!!
Cliffhanger Warning-No cliffhanger! HEA! Holy flippin’ flapjacks! Talk about clawing, kicking, scratching, dragging your way through a bullet blazing war zone, just to then walk two miles across hot coals get home to find your home taken out by tsunami. Yeah, it felt like this for this poor couple to get to their well earned HEA! But it wait fast paced so the wait came quickly!
Trigger Warning-This book does have some references to the scene in the first book that could be considered triggers for some. They are not overly graphic. This is a “mobish” book so expect the typical blood and gore that comes with such. If you have concerns you can PM for more information.
I was not prepared for that time jump, but wow, the action starts and doesn’t stop coming. I could not put this book down.
Kostas is in total despair knowing that Talia has been taken and he can’t find her no matter how hard he tries. He’s been on a downward spiral with booze, however, he’s had enough. He needs a clear head to find his wife and bring her home.
Talia is doing as well as can be expected, getting on each day and working on a plan to escape her captors. Attempts to escape don’t go as planned and she is starting to worry how long she will be held and the consequences of her actions.
I loved when Kostas finally got her back. They were a united team ready to fight back and seek revenge for the hurt caused.
Revenge wasn’t easy and built the angst of the story.
What I loved about this book was both the Hero and Heroine and who they were. I loved the two sides of Kostas, the underworld boss who is feared but when he’s home with his family he’s loving and supportive. These sides of his character were very well written. Talia, her strength only grew and grew and I loved the queen she became at Kostas side.
Arranged marriage stories are my one of my favorites and I could not recommend this duet more. Book one sets up everything perfectly and book two keeps you engaged with all the twists and turns. And let’s not forget how steamy those scenes were, Kosta and Talia definitely bring it!
