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 the kind of kismet that starts with kisses.

Of course he can.
Then again, he might be lying.

Sweet Liar is the first novella in the new Dirty Sweet Duet by Laurelin Paige. This book brings us the story of Dylan Locke and Audrey Lind.
Audrey is a college student visiting her sister while on break from school. She is fun, feisty and super confident. When she first meets Dylan its lust at first sight. She likes what she sees and isn’t afraid to go after what she wants. And she wants Dylan!
“I was drawn to Dylan. He was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up, a choice I almost couldn’t help but make.”
Dylan is jaded and cynical of love. His past has forced him give up on the romantics of love. He doesn’t deny he is attracted to Audrey but he is super hesitant because of their age difference – did I mention he is 42. Hello older man trope, yes! So hot!
“I was caught. Ensnared in her net. I’d taken the bait, and after one sweet taste, I was captured.”
Audrey pursues Dylan as she feels like it was fate meeting him and she has no problem with trying to break down his walls. The way this story plays out is perfect and thanks to the dual point of view, seeing both sides of the struggle adds to the forbidden attraction. Audrey’s pursuit doesn’t come across as forceful or wrong but confident and super sexy.
Sweet Liar is full of sexual tension and is steamy hot. You can feel the heat between these two charachters right from the beginning. I loved this book and can’t wait for the second one to see how Audrey and Dylan’s story ends. (Yes, it does end on a slight cliffhanger which keeps us wanting more.)
If your looking for a quick, hot read full of steamy goodness then look no further. Sweet Liar has all that and more.
Ahhhh Dylan and Audrey don’t disappoint!!
What do you get when you mix a hopeless romantic with an anti-love curmudgeon? Kismet.
This is a quick and sexually tense glimpse into the beginning of Dylan and Audrey’s relationship during her stay with Sabrina during Thanksgiving break. Will it bud into a full blown, lovey-dovey relationship (can she truly change his mind about love) or is it just a fling, meant for other things? I can not wait to find out!!
Talk about scorching hot!!!!! Dylan and Audrey were thru the roof hot!!!! They were attracted to each other but she was 20 years younger than him and he had an issue with that. But not Ms. Audrey. She exceeded so much confidence and went after what she wanted which was the older, hot brit Dylan and the age difference wasn’t holding her back. Dylan could no longer deny his attraction or avoid her advances and gave in. As much as these two said it was a fling you can quickly see that feelings were starting to get involved which wasn’t possible. Dylan lived in Europe and she lived in the US. Audrey believed in fairy tale endings and Dylan didn’t. He had a bad experience that has closed him out to love but seeing how things ended with Audrey it seems like things might change.
Book 2 I need that conclusion now!!!!
A sexy delicious quick read…
Audrey and Dylan waste no time in getting Acquainted with each other. There sexual pull was there from the start. This book will light you on fire in a delicious taboo sort of way. Well that’s if the age difference is taboo enough for you. It’s sexy with a capital S. Full of taunts and teases. Can’t wait for sweet fate. I. Dying to see if she can tame the British beast.
Sweet liar is steamy, sexy, a little forbidden but a lot of fun! Audrey is fun, fresh, hopeful, confident and looking for love! Dylan is jaded, a little bitter but sweet, straightforward, and lonely but afraid of love. When they are thrown together, sparks fly and emotions run rampant! I loved this book and can’t wait for book 2!
Laurelin has once again given us a couple that we can not help but want !!
Dylan is British , Sexy, Smart , Closed Off and not a fan of sappy happily ever after . In his 41 years of life he has not found that one person that makes him a believer.
Finding love or that special one has never been on his radar but the moment the young sweet Audrey bowls into his life it takes him off kilter. She is young, sweet, sexy and innocent . The age difference has him at a loss but he finds her intriguing, entertaining and impulsive the many things he though he disliked in a woman.
Audrey swoops into the big city to see her sister Sabrina. She is hoping for fun and adventure what she doesn’t expect is the brooding Dylan to make her want to be adventurous and act so out of character for herself . She soon figures out how to push his buttons and just nudge him in the right way to get him to do what she thinks that she wants. The age difference between them does not seem to bother Audrey but Dylan is a bit standoffish .
She soon gives him a proposition that he should walk away from but he just can’t !!
Dylan and Audrey are that sizzle that makes want more of them ! I cannot wait to see where Laurelin takes us!!

What a great sexy story I love the age difference and Audrey was having none of that she knows what she wants and is very strong willed woman and I loved her feistiness and the way she seduced and snagged Dylan in to temptation even though his beliefs are so different it doesn’t leave much of a choice they are drawn to each other in a whole new learning experience. I really liked the plot and great character development girl goes for boy and it was so sweet it justs hits you in the right spot.
Sweet Liar is the story of Dylan Locke, business partner of Nate, Weston and Donovan, each of which had their own stories (which you do not read to following along in this story, but I do recommend them). Dylan is a divorced man, with a teenage son, not looking for a relationship. He is strictly looking to run his business, deal with his son and try to not kill his ex-wife. Dylan meets Audrey, with whom he has instant explosive chemistry with and who tests him repeatedly. One problem for Dylan…there’s a big difference in age and continents. However, just one night will satisfy them both and they can move on with their lives, right? I’m looking forward to finding out in Sweet Fate!
„A million people in the city, and you and I met.
That’s kismet.”
Laurelin Paige completely charmed me with this story! Sweet Liar is a very seductive read. Sexy as hell mature British man and young but feisty woman who’s not afraid to reach for what she wants. Admit it, it sounds very interesting!
Dylan Locke is a 42-year-old businessman who’s definitely not looking for a relationship or love. He stopped believing in it when his marriage crashed. But that doesn’t mean that he lives like a monk. However, as soon as he laid his eyes on Audrey Lind, his employee’s younger sister, immediately there was a spark between them. And although the girl is constantly preaching about kismet and she’s 100% romantic, Dylan is unable to stay away. On the other hand, Audrey had a bunch of romance in her life but she lacks unrestrained lust in it. Mature Dylan is the perfect candidate to teach her sheets mysteries that will spice up her sex life. The deal is to be simple – strictly physical and nothing more. Soon their paths will part anyway. But the heart often proves to us that we’re lying to ourselves, isn’t it?
I love the older man trope. There’s something incredibly exciting in the age gap, which makes the relationship between the two characters in some way forbidden. But dear Lord … no woman would be able to resist Dylan. This man is a walking sexappeal and even though he has stopped believing in feelings, he makes you want to prove to him at all costs that he’s wrong. Audrey in turn is not naïve despite her young age. She’s stubborn and when she set her mind about something she goes for it but she’s not aggressive about it. This book was filled to the brim with sexual tension and what was my surprise when I reached the end of the story!
*wagging finger towards the author* Dear Laurelin Paige, I feel like you just took away the cookie jar from me! I need the next part as soon as possible!
Sweet Liar is a short story, but so steamy that your Kindle can melt. MUST READ!
Holy Smokes Batman! This was scorching Hot! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Dylan & Audrey are going to light your Kindle’s on fire. From page one you are drawn in to their story and attraction. Dylan & Audrey have pretty big differences and their lives couldn’t be more opposite, including their age. He has lived a life that has hardened him to love, but the attraction he feels for Audrey is not one he can ignore.
I didn’t want this book to end and cannot wait for the second in this duet.
Older man/younger woman, short and sexy. I loved it! It does end in a cliffhanger.
Review copy was received for a honest opinion.
Final Score – 5 Wickedly Hot Stars!
Dylan is divorced, has a teenage son, a she-devil of an ex, and is definitely NOT looking for a relationship. I felt like he was setting himself up for what came next. And what came next was Audrey. Audrey is young – like twenty years too young for Dylan. But the instant they meet – CHEMISTRY – the explosive kind. And Audrey is one person that Dylan can’t quite ignore. Especially with such huge differences – the age factor and the fact that they reside on two different continents.
Can just one night satisfy them? Can they can move on with their lives, separate and unaffected?
Dylan Locke. Business man. Experienced. Living God! Oh my stars … I am in lust with Dylan! Once again, I’ve been brought a book that has a character from a previous series and I need to play catch up. So worth it! What I time I will have playing it … catch up that is. This book was sweet, sexy and had the makings of an epic love story that tugs at the heart strings! I can’t wait for it’s conclusion in Sweet Fate.
“Yes, Dylan was a good dad. But I needed to focus on the kind of “daddy” he could be to me.”
HOLY HOTNESS Batman! Sweet Liar was one smoking HOT read! I am so in LOVE with Dylan and Audrey! I can NOT wait for more of their story in Sweet Fate. I found myself really enjoying their age difference. They knew how to make it work to their advantage. The story also boardered on a forbidden romance. Your sister’s boss is pretty juicy to me. Sweet Liar was unique and I loved it for that. It is a nice break from the norm and I thoroughly needed that. Everything about this story surprised me. Dylan amd Audrey’s story is turning out way better than I imagined it to be. Their chemistry ignites you, while their passion burns through you. They say opposites attract and I’m anxious to see where these two end up.
“I lived from the heart. I loved with my entirety. I loved frequently and deeply, and if that meant I hurt sometimes—or a lot of times— so be it. My heartbreaks shaped me into who I was.”
Audrey is such a easy heroine to love. Shes naive, young, and caring. She’s the opposite of her sister Sabrina yet you see her mixed in. She’s a free spirit, and fiercely passionate. Audrey is a hopeless romantic, and I love that. She may be young but she has things to teach, and things to learn. She is just the wild card a playboy like Dylan needs. Unjaded youth just may be the key Audrey needs to remind Dylan what all he has been missing in life.
“I was a selfish vampire, feeding off her vibrant life. Even if I was damned to hell, I no longer cared.”
Dylan had me wrapped around his finger quick as Audrey. He oozes sex appeal and charm. You know he is trouble but you cant quite stay away. Just imagining his British accent made me swoon! Dylan is one of those bad boys all women want to tame. Jaded by life and heartbreak, love didn’t hold any appeal. But one word keeps coming up, Kismet. What will Dylan’s fate hold?
“But she was wrong on one point— it wasn’t good for me. She wasn’t good for me. To believe she was would be an absolute lie.”
*5 STEAMING STARS*
This duet is off to a fantastic start. I can not wait to get a taste of more.
Well well well,
That’s was just a hot little read that I have to say I was like nnnooooooooo when there was no more pages.
When one believes in the fairytale and one believes in disaster, there’s going to be someone who gets stuck in the crossfire!!
Bloody loved it Hot fast paced & I can’t wait to read more of Dylan & Audrey
Amo xx
Wow, this forbidden romance was captivating and sexy! I’ve been waiting for Dylan’s story and it was definitely worth the wait. Dylan and Audrey not only have a big age difference, but their beliefs on love are completely at odds. Audrey believes in love, and that it fixes everything, while Dylan was jaded and a cynic. Audrey wanted his experience and Dylan wanted her brightness. Even tho they knew it couldn’t last, they were helpless to deny their attraction. Their connection was fiery and their steamy passion was off the charts! But at it’s core, this story is filled with so much emotion about life, love, frustration, doubt, and passion. Paige is brilliant at bringing Dylan and Audrey together, with all the complications it presents, and making us crave more, right along with them. This isn’t a long story but Paige has a way of making us care for them, along with all their flaws. I loved this first part of the Dirty Sweet duet and can’t wait to find out more about Dylan and Audrey!
That was HOT!!! I can’t wait for book two to see how Dylan and Audrey’s story pans out.
The chemistry that was going on between these characters had me panting! I loved their back and forth, push and pull. He struggled over the age difference, which is just delicious, but then to really hit things home? Enter his son. I was laughing and cringing all at the same time. But, I felt like I was inside these character’s minds and could feel how they were feeling! They were both so darn likeable! I definitely recommend this one!
I freaking loved this book!! Dylan doesn’t want a relationship especially with a college girl young enough that she could be his daughter. Audrey just wants the experience and expertise of an older man. The chemistry between the two is explosive. Will Dylan succumb to Audrey’s siren ways? What harm could come with one night of passion? I am looking forward to the continuation of this series!
NO SPOILERS!
Sweet Liar was AMAZING and a definite MUST READ from Laurelin Paige! Deliciously sexy, sweet, forbidden, and entertaining, the first part of the Dirty Sweet Duet was everything I wanted it to be and so much more! The storyline and characters Laurelin Paige created were phenomenal, as all of the Dirty Universe stories and characters have been, and I can’t wait to devour the conclusion to Dylan and Audrey’s story in Sweet Fate!
My goodness I thought my iPad was going to catch on fire while reading Sweet Liar. This book is beyond scorching and I felt like I needed someone to throw a bucket of cold water on me!
Dylan is my new favorite Brit. I loved his mysterious and distinguished persona. Audrey is not what expected at all with her fiery, saucy demeanor and bold personality. Together these two so are sensuous, addicting and their “lessons” are quite tantalizing. Dylan is twenty years older than Audrey and the taboo aspect peeked my curiosity. Their flirtatious banter, teasing and sexual tension is out of this world! I was so invested in their story and I couldn’t put it down. Sweet Liar is filled with depth with a well written plot and an engaging storyline. I can’t wait to read Sweet Fate.
