I love the handsome, alpha ex-marines Brittney created for the Hidden Truths series and was super excited for Buried Lies, because CONNOR! Finally. I have been harboring a minor crush on him since he was originally introduced as a secondary character in Silenced Memories. He’s flirty, he’s alpha, has a chip the size of the world on his shoulder, and he makes a career of saving charming girls from bad guys …sign me up. He also happens to be a bit of a player and I knew right away he was going to be an intrigiung character. Then there’s Olivia, ex-girlfriend, the person behind his playboy mentality, and the girl he still has insane chemistry with. She’s witty, a bit naive, tough as nails, and hiding a huge secret. These two may have a tumultuous past, but nothing compares to the risks they take when they cross paths during a dangerous business deal.
Told from dual POV’s, Buried Lies is the first novel from Brittney Sahin told from first person perspective. I loved this change and felt like I really got to know the characters. Olivia and Caleb are complex and I really enjoyed how their lives were intertwined throughout the entire novel. Sahin did an incredible job of weaving the past into the present with both characters struggling with forgiveness, hiding secrets, as well as finding they needed one another to make it through a dangerous situation. I love that Olivia is a headstrong and fierce heroine, she’s my favorite kind of female character. Hers and Connor’s love story isn’t perfect and it definitely isn’t easy, but it is steamy and emotional, and will draw you in, leaving you hoping for the best. Mixed in with the romance is an action-packed, twisting story filled with weapons, deciet, nightclubs, the mafia, and some villains you will love to hate. This isn’t the kind of book you walk away from, that’s for sure, the tension is high and the drama is unpredictable.
Buried Lies features an incredible plot, detailed writing, and hot characters you’ll wish were real. It is the third novel in the standalone series Hidden Truths by Brittney Sahin. I read these out of order and definitely suggest you pick up all three.
This was amazing. Conner and Liv have so much chemistry. I would recommend this book to everyone
Who doesn’t love a sexy Irishman, a secret government agency and a smart heroine. A little far fetched but this is an escapist book. Just the right balance of heat and suspense. I’d read more by this author.
My favorite of Brittney Sahin’s. I just fell in love with the characters and overall storyline. I can’t wait for her next book!
