“Sweet Liar captivated me from start to finish! Dylan Locke is a must have in your book boyfriend collection!” Jana Aston, NYT Bestselling AuthorBritish ad exec Dylan Locke isn’t looking for love. He isn’t looking for fate. He’s definitely not looking for Audrey Lind. She’s pretty, far too young, and overly romantic–in short, exhausting.But when the girl, young enough to be his daughter, … his daughter, literally lands in his lap and asks for his expertise, he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t interested. In her body, in her innocence, in her philosophy.
In the kind of kismet that starts with kisses.
But Audrey isn’t looking for love either–she’s looking for lessons, and she’s certain Dylan knows everything she needs to learn.
If he agrees to play the teacher can he keep his heart?
Of course he can.
Then again, he might be lying.

I received a free copy of the book from the author.
You know, we’re really good at fooling ourselves. I think we do it so often we don’t know which end is up sometimes. This would be the case with Dylan Locke. He’s sworn off relationships. Women are only good for getting off and that’s it. No hearts involved. Dylan wasn’t expecting Audrey Lind, however.
She’s a whirlwind to his calm. A sunshine to his darkness. A siren to his humanity. Of course he wants to help but then again she’s young. Temptation abound.
This is the first book in a duet and of course this temptation is prevalent on just about every page. You’ll be rooting for Audrey to get what she wants…though she might have bitten off more than she can chew with Dylan!
I’m looking forward to reading the final book in the duet to see how these two handle their non-relationship relationship. It’s all fun and games until the heart takes over and wants what it might not can have.
Hot, grumpy Brit +sweet, savvy romantic + age gap = my happy place
Laurelin Paige knows the map to my reading sweet spot, especially when it comes to the Men of Reach, Inc. Like his predecessors Donovan and Weston, Dylan Locke is a classic romantic hero archetype without being a cliche. I just love his bemused, conflicted and funny inner voice. And Audrey! OMG! She is such a quirky, bubbly, wise old soul.
It’s fun, frothy and slightly madcap, with just enough angst to make you think. Sometimes how we love is more importantly than you we love, and Audrey is the perfect teacher.
5 love with abandon stars!!
Yessss. All the passion, all the sizzle, all the feels! Laurelin Paige as we know and love her. SWEET LIAR is that kind of story that swallows you whole and won’t let you go until you have read the very last word. Audrey and Dylan captivated me easily and had me gasping for air and fanning myself in a heartbeat.
Trope – age-gap forbidden romance. Characters – well-developed and real. Storyline – filled with little twists, a good dose of angst and drama and a whole lotta fun, flirt and filthiness. An intoxicating mixture that surely hits the spot.
A forbidden aspect, dirty flirty banter and a cameo of Donovan Kincaid. Before I turn this review into a listing of things I loved about this admittedly short story, I’m just gonna say: If you loved the previous books in this series, you probably have been waiting for this one as much as I have. It’s a must read for anyone who loves smoldering hot romance. Yowza!
Sweet Liar By Laurelin Paige
Oh My! Laurelin totally out did herself on this. This is short but sexy. Great plot! Wonderful characters!!
“The fantasy was “sweet.” Delicious, even.”
I can not wait for book 2!!
Sweet Liar left me a hot mess! I didn’t realize I would be finding out what I like with Audrey until I read this naughty book. A man can only resist for so long before he finally gives us to the much younger woman that has captured his attention. I enjoyed the buildup of this couple. Dylan lives in darkness and doesn’t believe love exists anymore. When you find out what he’s been through, it all makes sense. Audrey is like all of us, looking for love. She’s decided to try something different in Dylan and knows that her heart doesn’t belong in the mix. The writing will have you flying through the pages and the scenes are perfect for bedtime. This is an easy read with a “NO! I want more!” ending.
4.5 Stars
Sweet Liar is the all new, deliciously dirty novel by Laurelin Paige. It is book one of the Dirty Sweet Duet and man-oh-man was it HOT!!! When I first met Dylan in the prior books, I had hoped we would get his story. Ms. Paige did not disappoint! Full of passion and desire, Sweet Liar is one story you do not want to miss!
Audrey and Dylan meet while they both are in NYC. Sparks literally fly off the pages as they have an immediate attraction towards one another. But Dylan is nineteen years older than her and is also Audrey’s sisters boss. He feels it is way too messy for him to get involved. Audrey though, is a believer of fate and knows that there was a reason behind them meeting. Will Audrey be able to convince Dylan that true love does exist??
“A million people in the city, and you and I met. That’s kismet.”
I really truly adored Sweet Liar! There is something about age gap books that seriously makes it so much more forbidden. The push and pull between Audrey and Dylan was fantastic as well as their chemistry. The story flowed well and that ending left me needing to know what was going to happen! I can’t wait for the conclusion! Highly recommend reading it!
I love all the books in Laurelin’s Dirty Universe! <3
Wow absolutely loved this was so worth the wait. Finally we got Dylan and Audrey. Dylan was so conflicted with his feeling and once Audrey decided she was going for him he didn’t stand a chance. The complications of a relationship with an age difference put to the test. The added bonus of the first 3 chapters of Sweet Fate too. Brilliant
Dylan and Audrey are amazing together!! This story will capture reader’s hearts and leave them begging for more. The first book in the Dirty Sweet collection is exactly as it is called; dirty and sweet with lots of added HOT scenes included. Impatiently waiting for the next book!
Love this sweet book!
I loved this sweet book about Audrey & Dylan! There is an age difference, she’s younger & he’s older, but that has never bothered me in book fiction & it is integral to the story. Audrey wants to learn what she likes in the bedroom, & she meets Dylan at dinner with her sister & her bosses. She knows Dylan would be a perfect teacher, so she persuades him to help her. He was already intrigued with her, so she didn’t have work too hard! I loved their chemistry & their banter! I also loved Audrey’s character – she’s sweet, fun, confident & romantic. She believes in kismet & finding the one. Dylan has been hurt by love, is now bitter, & Audrey is just the sunshine he needs! I can’t wait to see how kismet works out in the second book! If you love a sweet, quick, fun, sexy read like I do, then read this book!
From the first page, Dylan & Audrey captivated me! I couldn’t stop reading.
Audrey was spunky and went after what she wanted. Dylan was swoon worthy! I loved them together and they had great chemistry! I loved the chase!
Dylan & Audrey are my favorite couple that I have read by Laurelin Paige to date. And I want the rest of their story!
I voluntarily reviewed this book.
LOVED it!! This book was so good!! I adored the characters!! Dylan and Audrey had such an amazing chemistry!! The writing was exceptional!! Laurelin has such a way with words! The storyline was captivating! I devoured this book!! It was so sexy and entertaining! Cannot wait for the next book!!!
SWEET LIAR by Laurelin Paige is the First book in the Dirty Sweet Series. This starts the story of Dylan Locke and Audrey Lind. Dylan is in his early 40’s and done with love….so quick emotionless encounters is what he looks for. Audrey is young and hasn’t found what she is looking for or needs in the romance department. When she meets Dylan she is attractive to him and goes forward to act on that…giving Dylan a run for his money. I cannot wait for the next installment in their story! Loved their start!
Laurelin Paige pulls out all the stops with this wickedly sexy age-gap romance. Dylan is mesmerized by Audrey when they first meet, but he dismisses his attraction, believing he’s much too old and experienced for her. She doesn’t agree and tries to put the moves on him, and her exuberance is both honest and endearing. They develop a solid friendship, and she persuades him to give her lessons in the bedroom before he returns to his home in London. Both are surprised at how quickly they develop feelings, and it’s obvious neither will forget the other even though they’ll be ocean’s apart. We’ll find out what happens next when the conclusion, Sweet Fate, releases on March 26.
ARC provided, but this review was voluntarily and honestly written.
I have a dilemma. I just don’t know who to pick. I thought initially it was Donovan. Then along came Nate, and I do love a good party. But then Weston arrived and he usurped Donovan and Nate.
There is a new boy in town, or rather a new man – Dylan Locke. British beast of a man out to win the hearts of all of the ladies.
If age gap romances float your boat, then this will float your boat. He is actually old enough to be her dad and they do play the game but not in an icky yucky way but in a – you think I’m his daughter so I’m going to let you think that – kind of way.
The spark between Sabrina and Dylan was there to see, I can’t remember which book had that dinner party in it but I guessed there was more to explore. Laurelin explores it alright and then blows the doors off.
I’m not a huge fan of the teach me how to be sexy kind of book, but there was enough content other than that in Sweet Liar to have me hooked, just like Dylan was. And now I need the next book please.
I’m in serious need to somehow be transported into the world where I can know all the characters in this universe for real. Each couple Laurelin gives us from the world where she first gives us Donovan (swoon!) is amazing in their own way and I just can’t get enough of them. Plus it probably helps when we get those tiny little appearances from the delicious Donovan also. But Dylan is yummy in his own way and Aubrey handles him just right. I’m excited to see where their story leads! Definitely the least dramatic couple so far lol. Cmon book 2!
It’s kismet!
I’m usually not big on reads where there is this much she difference but I really enjoyed this one. I love Aubrey! She’s hilarious, she kept a smile on my face pretty much throughout the whole book. Dylan is perfect for her even if he hasn’t realized it yet.
This is a quick easy read that will have you totally falling in love with these two fantastic characters, can’t wait for the rest of their story.
*Review by Michelle
Wow, what a hot a sexy read. I love this book, I was hooked from the start. Audrey is a young women who doesn’t have a lot of experience so she asks Dylan, a hot and sexy older man. The connection between these two was off the charts. I can’t wait for the next one.
Sweet liar had me captivated right from the start. It was so good. The sexual tension between Dylan and Audrey was so intense! There might be a 20 year age difference but they couldn’t fight the attraction! Dylan is divorced and has a son and Audrey still believes in Love and happy ever afters. But will the reality of the situation become to much??? They left me wanting more and I can’t wait for book 2. Book given to me by author
5 STAR Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review
I loved everything about this book. I loved Dylan and how hard he fought to keep Audrey at a distance. I loved how Audrey was having none of it. I loved watching the fall. I loved getting know know more about Dylan and why he is the way he is. I loved getting to see his relationship with is son.
I loved Audrey and how she made Dylan see things differently. I loved getting to see her grow as a person and a woman. Knowing that this couldn’t continue would be hard, especially when it’s obvious they have feelings.
I can’t wait to see what the next installment of this book brings us. I loved the writing and how invested I felt in the story.
