Stolen Lies is a fantastic conclusion to the the Truth and Lies duet. It picks up from the aftermath of the cliffhanger at the end of Hidden Truths. We discover quickly what happened to Talia but that is just the beginning of the roller coaster to come. I found the pace much quicker in this book, it was full of suspense, drama, heat with a good dose of dark and gore to give the story it’s edge.
This time around we get to see a different edge to Kostas, a softer side when it comes to his wife Talia; but don’t let that fool you he is still the alpha with a dark side when it comes to protecting those he loves most. Talia goes from strength to strength growing into the strong Demitriou woman she was destined to be. I loved seeing the juxtaposition in characters from Book 1 to Book 2.
I really want to keep this review short and compact because so much goes on to bring this story to a fitting ending, it’s best to go in and enjoy the ride and what a ride it is.
Phenomenal ending to this duet!!! Authors Ash and Webster really went above and beyond five stars for this one!!!!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!!!
Wow. Wow wow WOW! What an incredible ending to this duet.
Kostas and Talia are everything you need in a couple. They are truly a power couple. Not because of Kostas’s position in life, but because of the way they work with each other. They ALWAYS put each other first and their chemistry is off the charts hot.
Kostas is mine though. I’ve claimed him so you can’t have him. You can admire him from a distance because he is ALLLL MAN. His dirty mouth almost gave me a dang heart attack all through the book. He has no filters, no boundaries, nothing will drop him from getting what he wants.
Talia is a BOSS BISCUIT. (Im using biscuit, because we all know how Amazon is.) Seriously though. Her crazy matches Kos’s crazy. She is so fierce and strong. She puts her family above all else. She is selfless and so loving.
This duet was so much more than what I was expecting. It was absolutely incredible and everything that I need in a dark romance story.
This is the second half of the The Truth and Lies Duet and it’s just as good, if not better, than the first half. It has all the emotions we built up in book one with an fantastic conclusion to Kostas and Talias story.
Not a day goes by that Kostas doesn’t have Talia on his mind. This strong powerful man truly loved, yet love is killing this man. Don’t forget love can also get a someone killed. Trust the wrong people is never easy to realize, as he finds out when something priceless is stolen from him. My heart bleeds for what he has to go through. It’s a good thing this family doesn’t mind a little blood. I can’t say more without revealing to much, or ruining the surprises as they come, don’t worry it leads to an ending worth waiting for!
Wow, Stolen Lies was certainly a ride. Talia and Kostas truly have to overcome a lot to get their HEA. Stolen Lies starts a year after Hidden Truths and Talia and Kostas have to work hard to find their way back to one another. Kostas spends a lot of this book working to overcome their enemies but I truly think this is Talia’s book. Events of their year apart have turned Talia into a new and stronger woman. She truly comes into her own in Stolen Lies and isn’t afraid to take what she wants and fight to protect her family. Stolen Lies is a much a love story about Talia becoming a powerful queen as it is Kostas and Talia falling in love. Stolen Lies is a satisfying ending to the duet and I loved following Kostas and Talia’s story.
I loved this series it was amazing i read this book all one day. I loved ending to this duet. Kotas and tailia are my favorite new couple. Nikki Ash is the best I always love how dark k Webster is!
Stolen Lies by K. Webster and Nikki Ash is the conclusion of Kostas and Talia’s story and let me tell you, it was a wild and wicked ride! We start right where we ended in the previous book and never look back. The story was steamy and intriguing from start to finish and I devoured it. Kostas was one determined man. He knew what he wanted and he was a man who always succeeded no matter what. Talia was stronger and more determined in this book.
Stolen Lies by K. Webster and Nikki Ash was full of suspense, lies, deception and steamy chemistry and I could not stop reading!
4.5-stars! Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.

Love & Revenge
A dark romance that will keep you on the edge, twist you up and then deliver with a love that never holds back. The love and passion shared between Kostas and Talia was unbreakable and I loved it!
When you finally find the one you love, you never let go. Neither time nor distance can break that bond. Kostas found his love and he’s willing to do anything to get her back. Blood will be shed. Lives will be lost. He will protect the one’s he loves at all cost.
Talia is gone. She’s been gone for awhile. Kostas is still searching. He won’t let her go. He wants his wife back.
This is a story of love and revenge. Kostas is not going to give up until he has her back. You’ll get answers to all your questions. The body count is high. The blood loss is plentiful. When it comes to getting his revenge, Kostas is ruthless.
A story of an arranged marriage that became true love. It’s no fairy tale. The mafia king found his queen. I do not want to give anything away, so enjoy the suspense and embrace the darkness. It’s going to get messy, but their love is worth any sacrifice.
4.5 Perfect ending Stars!
For me this one was much anticipated and I was certainly not let down, it had me drawn in and on the edge of my seat from go. I find it hard to review without giving a whole lot away, all I can say is it was very well written, the characters were engaging, it was fast-paced with just the right amount of sexy.
The Characters:
Kostas’ take charge totally Alpha male personality reigns in this one. He shows us he can be a monster, yet there is always a gentle side for his wife.
Tallia takes her rightful place as Queen of the Underworld in this one!
Aris and Selena, what-the-what?!?! Talk about issues….
Pheonix and Adrian, I’m with other reviewers; we need their stories.
Welcome to the dark side….I kinda like it here ~ Well done Ladies!
“Talia meets my fire with gasoline. She taunts and draws out the beast inside me.”
I dove in and couldn’t stop reading!! I inhaled this in a few hours and my jaw was dropping all over the place!! If I thought I loved Talia and Kostas in Book 1, I loved them a million times harder in Book 2!!! The steaming, exciting, thrilling, eye popping goodness swirled with sweetness that warmed my heart and I never wanted it to end. Talia came into her own, and had me cheering her every step of the way…loved her fierceness, Kostas equal in every way!! Kostas invaded my heart, and left me squirming in my seat with his power, his dedication, his loyalty, his brute animalistic strength, and equally as swoon-worthy….his vulnerability. I loved the progression of this couple, it’s an absolute MUST READ!!! I thank the Authors for providing all the feels, leaving my jaw on the floor, burning up my kindle, and the copy to review!!
“A hiss rushes past my teeth as I stare at the angel queen who bows before her evil king.”

4.5 star love it!
Second book in the duet, Stolen Lies is the perfect conclusion. It’s more dark. The pace is faster. It’s more steamy. Thats why I like it better than the first book.
At first few chapter I was pulling my hair out like crazy cause WHY??!! Why take so long??? Why did you let it go so long, Kostas??? Aren’t you the big bad mob boss??!!! WHY DANGIT WHYYYY!!!
As you can tell I get a bit emotional there.
Ok I was furious so sue me
But good thing, the story pick it up. Kostas is back from his broken to pieces world and see the light again. The pace is getting intense. Although Aris the cuntya still being annoying villain instead of just being big bad scary villain.
And Talia got darker. Finally she’s not the victim anymore. She’s the Queen of the underworld. She prove her self worthy of her place beside Kostas as the King. It was hot!
Their steamy scenes? I’ll be dangit for all the bloody steamy scene! Like real bloody steamy “you’re in your period and hubbie still wanna go down on you and give you out of this world O and going to poundtown like no body business “kinda steamy! Wohoo my hohaa can’t even survive!
Aris and Selena… Whoa the blood thirsty inside me cheering from the underworld! The way this duet authors put their darkness, definitly delicious! They don’t hold back!
But from everything, there’s this one scene I love. The part when Kostas being so angry and stress cause of Aris, he couldn’t hold his emotion any longer and lash out. That’s real.
I mean, the authors could always write him be perfectly sweet or totally bad. But at this one scene particular, Kostas become simply a man with so many to lose and so many he wants to protect.
For me this is why I love Kostas. He can do wrong. He can be unperfect. He can lash out. He can be downright evil. But he, atleast try his best to be the best for the ones he loves. For his family. And his believe for marriage and loyalty, is just swoon time!
This man is evil as you can get, but in that small detail how he love and protect and loyal, Kostas is the perfect book hubbie.
I love Stolen Lies. Definitly a must read for you crazy twisted steamy dark romance lover!
Holy Moly!! What an end to the duet. So many twists and turns! I wasn’t sure if my heart would survive but I had faith and they did not let me down!!
Just when life had settled down, chaos ripped their lives apart. Truths are hidden and lies are lived. Will anything ever be the same?
In Hidden Truths Talia was pure light to Kostas pitch black. In Stolen Lies, the roles almost reversed; Talia steps into her role as Queen while Kostas steps back (now don’t get me wrong, he was still ruthless but a little more soft around the edges)
Nikki Ash and K. Webster are amazing together!! Can’t wait to see what these girls cook up next!
Wow this was an explosive conclusion to Kostas & Talias story! It was a perfect ending and both authors did amazing!
Stolen Lies is the conclusion to the duet. I loved it. This was definitely my favorite of the two. It was intense and action packed. Kostas and Talia were just off the charts hot. They were perfect together. I loved how Talia became the Queen to the Mafia King! Definitely recommend this!
The last book left us with many questions. What happened to Talia? I wondered if she made a choice but it was not what I was thinking. We are instantly sucker punched with the truth and in some way, I wasn’t too surprised. I think I should have known that man was behind it all.
Kostas is like a dark knight on a mission to gain vengeance against those that sought to destroy him. While Talia makes him weaker, to a certain degree, she makes him stronger too. She shows him that he is nothing like his father. Yes, he will do what he must to protect what’s his but he is not the monster. Talia is a fierce woman in this tale. She has been through so much and yet she has this fire inside of her that pushes her onward.
I enjoyed the inclusion of the story of Pluto and Proserpina. You can see similarities between these characters and Talia and Kostas. Talia’s journey also gives her a different understanding about Proserpina. She comes to a new realization and acceptance not only of Proserpina but herself. This duet was filled with action (steamy and otherwise) and surprises. So definitely worth a read if you love twists and turns and everything in between.
Ahhhhhh how do I tell you about Stolen Lies without spoiling anything?
Answer: I can’t.
Just know these few important points:
-Kostas was ruthless, protective, and badass
-Talia was strong, smart, and a badass herself
-Super hot and sexy scenes
-Suspenseful and kept you on the edge of your seat
Do yourself a favor and read the duet. You won’t regret it.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
My life was brutal, horrific, ruthless. Dark. Until a beautiful bride was dragged into my life. I took her as my prize and made her mine. Vengeance never tasted so sweet. I see her truths everyday, and it’s hard not to fall for a woman who makes me weak. She can try to run, but I have no intention of ever letting her go. I wanted to marry for hate, but it look like hate is a lie.
This is the second book in the Truth and Lies Duet from K Webster and Nikki Ash. You need to read Hidden Truths before Stolen Lies or you are going to be lost. You guys do not want to miss this duet. I love K Webster books. She has written this duet with Nikki Ash, and they did an absolutely amazing job. It is a must read and I am sure will be many people, including mine, favorite duet of 2019. I don’t really want to give anything of this story away. I didn’t read the description of them before diving in and now you guys won’t have to wait for the second part of the duet if you start once this book is out. I loved every single second. I was emotionally invested in these characters. I was on the edge of my seat a lot and at times was holding my breath. This is one of those books that you can not put down at all. If you are a lover or romantic suspense then you do not want to miss these books.
