“This series is so well written that you can not help but fall in love and feel the emotions, the pain, the heartache.” ~ Laura, BookBistroBlogTwo lies.Two men who don’t share.I never stopped loving Cole. Not when he left me. Not when he disappeared for three years. Not when he crashed back into my life in a violent explosion of testosterone and fury.His sudden reappearance questions everything I … fury.
His sudden reappearance questions everything I thought I knew, including how I came to love another man.
Trace is an intoxicating breeze of seduction over ice. My rock. My second chance at forever.
And he’s committed to annihilating the competition.
The battle that ensues wrenches me back and forth between them.
Fighting and f*cking.
Resisting and submitting.
Together, they entangle me in a web of lies, rivalry, and desire that weaves as deeply as their devotion to me.
I love two men, and if I can only have one, I choose none.
The TANGLED LIES series must be read in order.

Two is a Lie

This book!!! It just ruffled my feathers!!! I don’t know who I want to punch in the face first!!! These people is testing my patience!!! However this book was mind blowing!!! I loved it so much I just wanted to throw my Kindle!!!
My review from June 30, 2017:
Holy hell. This was AMAZING.
After finishing book 1, I could. not. wait. for this. Two is a Lie picks up right where One is a Promise left off. The tension and anxiety I’d felt in the first book came rushing back, giving me all those delicious tingles. Again.
My heart is still in that tug-of-war, which started in the first book. Pushed and pulled one way, then smacked hard, tossed around, and steered in another direction. But that’s okay, I fricken love it. And crave it.
Starting each chapter, I was confident I was on one team. And then I kept reading. By the end of the next chapter, I had easily switched sides. But then, I realized, I didn’t really switch – I’m on BOTH sides. I can’t pick. I want Danni to have them both. *I* want them both. Selfish? Maybe. Whorish? Perhaps. But dammit, if Pam wouldn’t have made Trace & Cole so fucking smart and sexy and hot and alpha and beautiful and… just ALL THINGS GOOD, then I wouldn’t be having these problems choosing. *sigh*
I knew going into this series that it was going to be a twisted mess of emotions, where feelings get hurt and hearts get crushed. Not crushed…trampled. If you enjoy a deliciously angsty love triangle that will have you panting like a floozy one minute and cussing like a sailor the next, you need to start this series.
I may sound like a broken record, but I can’t say enough how much of a talented writer Ms. Godwin is. She will suck you in, chew you up, and spit you out…and you’ll love every minute of it.
OMG book 2 in this Tangled Lies series by Pam Godwin!!! This book has consumed me!!! I just couldn’t put it down. I needed to know how things were going to end. But oh my Lord I didn’t expect that!!
Don’t read this book until you have read book 1, they must be read in order!!
Jeez, this is a love triangle of epic proportions!!! Poor Danni!!! I ached for her reading this – Cole has returned, the love of her life who she thought was dead, just as she was moving on with her life with Trace, who has become her second chance at love, one she thought she would never have again.
OMG this is so full of delicious angst throughout this book!!! The push and pull between all three characters – I was addicted, I don’t usually do angsty reads, but I just couldn’t stop!!!
Danni must try and decide who she is going to move on with, but she loves both men in different ways and so goes about dating them both, but without the sex!! Jeez I really felt for Danni, being stuck in the middle and not able to decide between the two of them. How do you decide between someone you lost your heart to against someone that now owns it??? I wen’t back and forth between Cole and Trace throughout this book, unable to decide between them, so how the hell was Danni supposed to decide??!!
The ban on sex gets literally blown out of the water as Cole seduces her in some of the hottest sex scenes ever – whew!!! I quite fancy taking up scuba diving now!!!!
So, secrets start to unravel and things turn a might dangerous, and then that ending!!! OMG I’m not sure how I’m going to survive until the next book!!! I’m pulling my hair out here!!! I’m so on edge after reading this, I need some major alcohol intake!!!! Dear Lord, roll on book 3!!!!
5 utterly angsty hot n steamy love triangle stars!!!
Held my interest throughout the whole book… Major twist in the beginning and even through I predicted the outcome of the situation in the end, it was still very heartbreaking. Love Pam’s books!
Wow, Pam Godwin never let’s me down. She just keeps the pages turning and my imagination going. I just received this book Two IS a Lie and I couldn’t put it down.
Danni is someone you want to feel sorry for, hate her for being stupid and just hope she makes the right decision.
Cole is just one of the guys you want to strangle, love so hard and hope to god that he finds his way
Trace is the simple one but under a sheep coat. The more you read and think what the heck is Trace doing. You fall in love with him.
This series is a must read. I don’t want to give anything away because mainly I’m not done with the series. I should be writing this and starting the next book but I want you to read this series so bad.. I received this book free for my honest review. Read the book you won’t regret it.
And the hits just keep on coming….I still love Danni and I feel pain at the decision she needs to make. She must decide between her first true and forever love and the man who came in to finally save her…but there are lies and secrets aplenty between these two men and despite knowing she should probably walk away from them both, she finds herself inexplicably torn and completely tied into both of them. I know who I would choose, but do you? And how on earth do you make the decision since you love them both so much.
I LOVED this whole series!
Warning, grab the tissues, this is an emotional and turbulent read. It will touch on all the feels, and it ends with a completely unexpected, but should’ve seen it coming, gasp.
This is a triangle, and like all triangles, it is complicated, it is messy, and it is emotional. Impulsive Danni feels so much, and that is her draw and her downfall. She drives the story, she drives the men, and she, eventually, drives her future.
Everyone tries to be so thoughtful, and compassionate, but the feelings they have for each other, they boil over and take control. The aftermath of these events shape the future. In the end, the past is what shapes the story for Danni, Trace, and Cole. It becomes so apparent, Danni is in control, but Cole and Trace need to get their acts together to figure this out
It starts where the previous cliffhanger left off, and it ends, unexpectedly so, on a cliffhanger. Now, the wait to see how the heck this is all going to work itself out!
Two is a Lie is the second book in the series. I loved the first one and had hi hopes for this one. I’m team Trace. We final get to meet the elusive Cole. I thought book two would answer some questions left unanswered but to my surprise I didn’t get the answers I was looking for. I hope book three final gives me a ending that is earth shattering.
Two is a Lie continues where One is a Promise end, Danni face to face with the two men who rocks her world. Cole, a man from her past returns after over four years of absence without any specific explanation of what really happened to him.
Trace, who presently owns her heart, her second chance at love.
Both men want her. But Danni knows she can’t choose one without hurting the other. Her decision on how to deal with the situation doesn’t please me, she’s just being selfish. And her stupid rule (her word not mine), with two alpha males vying for her love and attention, is doomed from the start. But I do understand where she’s coming from, if I was in her shoes I’ll be in a dilemma too. Things get more complicated towards the end of the story. The unpredictability of every scene is a real page-turner.
Pam Godwin once again sent my mind into a what-will-happen-next frenzy. This book is angst-ridden, completely engrossing, heart-wrenching, fun-filled dialogues and that scuba scene, sweetbabyjesus, it’s sizzling even underwater. The concluding book, Three is a War, is definitely one my most anticipated book this coming month. I highly recommended this series!
Whoa! I was already on a roller coaster ride after reading the first book, but wow!
Not gonna lie this book will make you very irritated with how Danni handles things and just down right frustrated because she can’t make a choice,
But then again you have to think to your self what would do if you really were in this mess.
Looking forward to reading the ending to this series 🙂
This is book two of three and it continues Danni, Cole and Trace’s story. The emotional turmoil, the drama and the angst all get pushed to higher levels as an already difficult situation gets even more complicated. I am not loving Danni’s constant waffling back and forth between Cole and Trace. For me this was frustrating and a turnoff. Sure it adds to the drama and angst, but honestly I feel they all deserve better. I am eager to see how it all ends in the next book.
I don’t even know where to begin with the range of motions I went through reading this book. I can honestly say I devoured this book in pretty much the same way I did the first. My head is still stuck in it; book hangover alert! The ending left me opened mouthed and gawping! If you think this book is predictable… Think again! There’s no way you’ll see the ending coming until you actually get there and even then I’m screaming Noooooooo! If it wasn’t early in the morning I’d be reaching for the vodka!
Told from a first person POV; the book is fast paced to the point you won’t want to stop reading. This is a love triangle at it’s best. Two seriously hot dominant alpha guy’s. How the hell do you chose. You need a machete to cut through the thick level of testosterone in the air. The tension between these to guys is tangible. Just when I think I have made my choice the other does something that makes me change my mind and want him instead. This book dragged every emotion out of my ravaged heart and left me dilapidated. I’m so ready for book three right now. Pam, you better make this right! Book three is going to be even more gut wrenching if that is even possible!
I haven’t read any of Pam Godwin’s books previously to this series and I need to correct that right now. This is a series you need to read. If you like books that take you on an erratic journey of emotions, mess with your head and your heart; then this is the perfect book!
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Tow is a Lie is the second book in Pam Godwin’s Tangled Lies Series. You must read One Is A Promise or you are going to be lost as this book takes off right where the first one did.
Dani is between a rock and a hard place. The man she thought she had lost forever is suddenly back and she is engaged to his best friend. How was she to know. Cole was dead. People came to her door and told her and she grieved him for three years before finally moving on with Trace. However Cole and Trace have been hiding a huge secret. Life shattering secret you might say. Now the only thing Dani can do is think to go back to the beginning with these men since she loves them both and try to figure out who is the right on for her. Thus begins the journey of Two is a Lie and I don’t know how Dani survived most of what goes on in this book. She is a much stronger woman than I am. I don’t know that I could do what she is trying to do and keep my sanity even though I would know I couldn’t be engaged to two men.
These characters just worm there way into your heart and it’s not possible not to get more invested in them as the story goes. I like discovering the differences in Cole and Trace. They are polar opposite and two men any woman would be happy to be with. My heart hurt for Dani, Trace, and Cole. Don’t be shocked when you get to the end as there is another cliffhanger. I so can no wait to get my hands on the next book. I am clueless as to how the direction of this story is going, but I sure can not wait to find out. You do not want to miss One is a Promise or Two is a Lie.
Run, don’t wait to download book 3. Excellent story, and characters, you will experience all the FEELS in this one. A must read if you enjoy love triangles. Well done and can’t wait to jump into Three is War.
5 Tug-Of-war stars
I seriously am at a loss for words
My heart is getting pulled in two directions and my head is on a see-saw.Which way is up or down. !!
I can so feel Danii, cause she’s as conflicted as me . The choice was always between Cole and Trace Savoy. What a choice. Choosing between Fire and Ice. Cole is a passionate hurricane , uncontrollable and sweeping her by the sheer force of his delectable kisses.
I don’t mean to stare, but that predatory swagger, those low-rise jeans, the hard flex of his backside… Sweet sassy molassy, I can’t peel my eyes away.
Trace is Ice which carried it’s own stoic fire within. Always in control. He takes control , Always the leader
The clothes and the surroundings don’t make the man. He sets the ambiance and commands the space, no matter what he’s wearing or where he’s at, as if his aura defines the very air that touches him.It’s his nature to be in charge of everything, to be aware of everything going on around him. And around me. If he had it his way , he’d control the air I breathe, the water on my skin, and the beat of my heart.
Both love her deeply and she loves both…equally
Cole ~“I’m not going anywhere . Never again.”
Trace ~ “I’m not leaving your side, Danii”
Who do I choose ?….. I mean Danii !!! who does Danii choose?
Pam has woven a tangled web of Love, Lies, Passion, deception so intricately, the more you try to figure out, the more you’ll get lost. So read along, enjoy the story , The hot sex, the fantastic writing, agonising emotions, word-play, camouflaged intentions and complexities of characters.
They’re manipulators, liars, criminals, and I fell in love with them.
It’s unforgettable, unputdownable book. I cannot wait for the next book now !!
TWO IS A LIE is book two in the Tangled Lies series. The story literally picks up where we are left with a major cliffy from ONE IS A PROMISE. Danni is now torn between her “first love” and her “second chance”. Both men hold each half of her heart and she holds theirs as well, but choosing one over the other will tear her heart in half and leave it incomplete. Now, she is to decide whose heart she is going to break right, along with her own. Who can she see forever with? Who will be able to move on without her? The only problem is, she doesn’t want them to move on. She can’t bear the thought of them moving on to another woman, but at the end of the day, all she wants is for them to be happy. So in order for her to determine who she will choose, she has to start over, with both of them. Date them both. Will she get utterly consumed by Cole, just like the first time, or is there love not destined like she once thought? He has a lot of explaining to do and years of lost time to make up for. Or will she be immersed in her slow burn with Trace? Can their love continue to grow and strengthen after the lies that clog their new beginning? Everything she thought she knew about these men is in question and doubts are setting in. Can this new beginning wipe the slate clean? New secrets and omissions come to the surface that have her questioning everything, including her love for them both.
“Love isn’t a choice.” In this series, this statement couldn’t be any truer! What an emotional ride! Whereas with book 1, I was an emotional mess because of Danni’s turmoil from losing her first love, now in this book, I am in emotional discord because after she FINALLY allowed herself a second chance at love, she is thrown back into a tailspin when her life is tipped upside down.
A tale about second chances, omissions, deceit, jealousy, passion and of course, love, TWO IS A LIE will have you engrossed throughout the whole novel and left with your jaw hitting the floor. Pam Godwin has the reader pledging allegiance to one man in one chapter, but then has the reader jumping into the arms of the other man in the next chapter. I have NEVER invested my heart and soul into two utterly opposite alpha men while reading. Pam has me literally feeling torn in two, just like Danni. Cole is all her “first love” memories, all-consuming love and impulsive desires. Trace is her slow-burn, scorching need, and deeply ingrained second-chance love. I can see how if Danni chooses one over the other, she’ll truly be ripped in half, because they each hold half of her heart. Both men bring completely different qualities to the table that are complimentary to Danni and I could see her with either of them forever. The internal conflict going on within the characters was palpable and heart wrenching. Who is she NOT going to choose? *my heart is breaking just thinking about it* Who is going to get their heart broken? TWO IS A LIE made my clear chose, not so clear anymore.
There were times where I wanted to throw my kindle because of the decisions that Danni was making, but then I could empathize with her in the next breath. She was in a perpetual “limbo of indecisiveness” with no clear answer. From what I gleam from the blurb for THEREE IS A WAR, Danni seems to get some of her fiery attitude back and I’m hoping she grows more of a backbone so to speak. I am anticipating her character growing in strength and knowing truly where her heart lies. I said this in my review for book one, but truly this love triangle is like NO other. I can NOT wait for book 3, THREE IS A WAR! We’re left on a cliffy again with this book, so my anticipation is up there!
5++ stars

I love to read a book that has a great love triangle in it. The first book in this series (One is a Promise) had me hooked on the whole Cole-Danni-Trace triangle.
This book had me wanting to slap Danni throughout the entire book. I found her to be annoying, weak, and she couldn’t make a decision to save her life. I understand that she was in a place that any decision would have been hard to make, but just “women up” and make one all ready. While Trace and Cole both should’ve dropped her like a hot potato.
For me, the last few chapters really grabbed my interest the most. Loving the new twist and turns and I now need to purchase book 3 to see what happens to these characters and which guy Danni picks – if she even does that!
The books in the TANGLED LIES series are not stand-alones. They should be read in order. One is a Promise, Two is a Lie and Three is War
“Cole. My first love. My greatest loss.”
“Trace. He’s supposed to be my new beginning. My future.”
Pam Godwin is the QUEEN of love triangles!!!
I literally couldn’t stop reading this book. Finished this is one day… and reread a few chapters.
This series is insanely addicting. It checks all my boxes: Wickedly sexy. Full of angst. Simmering jealously. Shocking twists.
Second books in trilogies often lack many things, but Two is a Lie dives more into everything. I fell in love with the characters even more, and now my heart is torn into pieces.
Cole or Trace? Personally… I’m on both teams. But I understand that these two alphas most likely can’t share…. or can they?
I’m going around in circles trying to figure out how things are going to play out in Three is a War.
READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
