“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.
One is a Promise
Two is a Lie
Three is a War

Book two in this series is very different from book one. With good reason.
Because Cole has returned from the dead.
And now there are two men Danni loves with all her heart.
Two men that never ever are going to be able to share.
Which leaves them all stuck…..because there’s no way Danni can pick one.
Finding out Cole and Trace have known eachother for years,that hurts.
The secrets they share,but won’t tell her about,hurts even more.
Danni needs time to figure out what she wants,but then time runs out.
The cliffhanger is brutal,and i am racing towards the Grand Finale,Three is a War,straight away!
My goodness! I am speechless. After reading Two is a Lie, I can still feel a big knot in my throat. My heart is about to break into thousand pieces. Pam Godwin delivers a heartbreaking part in the second installment of the Tangled Lies Series.
Since I started reading this book I could not put it down. Every page had me at the edge. The drama is intense. I could savor the pain of lies. The lies in the past will bring consequences. And those consequences will affect the course of three human being life.
It’s amazing how the author’s mind works. Pam simply gives us the best part of the series. This is where the knot of history is. This book is full of revelations; it is a roll coaster of emotions. It is a tangle of love where the main characters will have to define their true feelings.
What we expect of life is to find our soul mate. To find a special person who will share his/her life with you. But sometimes destiny has some other twisted plans for you.
In this book, Danni will have to deal with the return of Cole from death. Her first love is back. Seeing him will cause a whirlwind of confusion in her life because she has decided to move on. At some point she felt guilty for wanting to go on with her life but Trace is her second chance to love. Losing Cole was hard and his return is a bittersweet surprise.
Can you love two men at the same time and with the same intensity?
“Loving two men is wrong.”
Deciding between a love of the past and a second love is very difficult and more when you have the two men following in your footsteps.
“I want them here. Against my better judgment, I want the so badly I can’t breathe.”
When I read One Is a Promise I liked Cole but reading this book make me hate him because he should’ve been honest to Danni from the beginning of their relationship. He lied to her. A man who lies is not capable of loving because love is a pure feeling that cannot be tarnished with lies. Cole is the one who played dirty. (That’s something I don’t like very much).
“I did this to you. I put you in this position because of decisions I made, I’m fully prepared to pay for that.”
Now, I am team Trace. He is the one who truly care for Danni. He understands better the situation created by lies and omissions. For me, he is the good boy. Trace has stolen my heart. If Danni doesn’t choose him, I will do it!
This series can’t be missed. Let the tangled lies wrap you sweetly! This book will have you at the edge. Two is a lie drove me crazy. Not only is extremely hot and steamy, it’s also heart breaking.
This is the worst (reads- best) love triangle ever. I have never in my more than 3000 books read not been able to choose the front runner. I have my favorite but I just can’t figure out who will be the winner. It took me until 85% through this book to pick my choice.
I’m not saying I always pick the winner…yeah, that’s a no. I am saying I always have a distinct favorite but can usually pick who will be the end result.
All Pam Goodwin gives me is heartache, tears, and an undecided heart. I like them both but my foolish heart is decided. I just need to know Pam, Team Cole or Team Trace?
It’s killing me. Oh, and the titles…talk about poignant. Guess I’m going to war!
One is a Promise
Two is a Lie
Three is …
Well Holy Crap on a Shingle!!! I thought I had who I wanted to win this ‘war’ figured out in my head. But then I read this, Two Is a Lie and I am totally heartbroken. I closed my kindle and had to do major decompressing.
Lies, Lies, Lies…how many can a person take? Stories that just don’t add up along with incomplete stories… Told by BOTH Cole and Trace!!! Imagine that!
They Both Love Me.
We’re Not Broken.
We’re Just…. Stuck.
Dani is in quite a situation! One on One, her heart beats for both Cole and Trace. The love is there, flowing perfectly as their hearts grow stronger for each other.
Love them. That’s all you can do.
Oh if it were just that easy. Someone is going to get hurt. Dani is not the type of person who is able to hurt anyone. How can she pick one over the other!!!
I have his heart, his breaths, and every hard inch that pulses against my inner walls. It’s more than I deserve, and I can’t let go.
The ending of this book….EEeeeeeeep!!! It’s one of those I NEED THE NEXT BOOK NOW endings. How oh how is Dani going to pick. My heart is breaking for both Trace and Cole.
Thank you, Pam Godwin, for once again writing a book that gives you every feeling possible while reading the most messed up love triangle… What a Page Turner!!!
The agony. The difficult task of choosing between two men you love so much. Ugh
It was a little monotonous for me in the beginning hence only four stars but still a great read. The ending, she should have known better.
So I just finished reading Two is a Lie and I know that this trilogy was written years ago however I recently read Complicate, the final book in the Deliver series, I needed to know where Cole Hartman’s story began. Well it is no wonder the man is so complicated after reading One is a Promise and then Two is a Lie! Nothing like an angsty love triangle with your best friend to mess with your head! It was easy for this reader to fall for Cole because who doesn’t love the angsty, bad boy? But Trace has a lot of hidden depth to his persona that I hope to see more of in Three is War. Since I am behind in Pam Godwin’s books I know the outcome but I need to know how we get there. That is the thing that I love the best about her writing, she connects the reader so deeply with the characters that you need to know what is coming up next! As with all of her books, Two is a Lie is a well written, steamy romance but this book is written from Danni’s single POV. Looking forward to the finale!
This is the continuing story of a tangled triangle between Cole Hartman, Danni Angelo, and Trace Savoy. If you haven’t read ‘One is a Promise’ you really need to read that book before starting ‘Two is a Lie.’ My review contains significant information from the first book so I’d also skip this review if you haven’t read it yet.
Dani was madly in love and engaged with Cole Hartman four and half years ago. His job took him away for a year and then she was told he had been killed. She mourned his loss deeply for two years when Trace Savoy slammed into her life and restarted her heart. Finally finding love and happiness again, she’s engaged to Trace when Cole reappears blowing her world apart.
This second book is all about three people deeply, madly in love. Cole and Trace are unwilling to let her go and neither man is willing to share. Danni is caught unable to choose between the two men she loves so deeply. Lots of angst, jealousy and pain as two men hope to keep the woman who owns their heart and not kill each other in the process.
This love triangle is hot and decadent and takes a few unexpected turns. This is a trilogy so I expected the second book to leave me hanging. Thankfully the third book is available now so there’s no waiting to find out how it all ends.
If you like my reviews I hope you will follow my blog. https://wyldheartreads.wordpress.com/
Gah! This book tore me up! My heart! Someone get me a defibrillator stat!! Pam Godwin can spin a story like no other! The way she writes is unlike anyone else! I feel way too much right now and that ending! WTF is going on?!?! I need book three right now!
How do you even write a review comparable to such a fucking fantastic, wild, and saddening ride? You don’t. My heart hurts and I am terrified to continue this series. But also ready for something amazingly happy to happen too!
This is the one set of Pam books that I was truly TERRIFIED to read. Rightly so. Pam has previously won me over with her ability to write such sexy, dark and emotional books. But what I wasn’t ready for was the level of torment, heartache, and longing that I experienced while reading Tangled Lies. So completely bingeworthy that I didn’t sleep for days!
This series was amazing! It definitely kept my attention and kept me wanting more. It does hang on a cliffhanger but the next book is totally worth it. Pam Godwin is a wording goddess!
“It feels like you’re taking turns killing me, only I’m still alive and breathing and feeling every goddamn second of it.”
book 1 was absolutely fantastic, so of course I needed to immediately dive into book 2 and It was ever bit as painful and beautiful as I expected it to be.
What happens when your heart is torn between two men who are want all of your heart? Danni has an impossible decision to make. Cole and Trace will not share, so she needs to decide who she is going to spend the rest of her life with. Choosing one means destroying another, and half of her heart in the process.
This book was beautifully written and so intensely painful I felt every second of Danni’s heartache. The way this book ended had me literally gasping out loud and of course I immediately purchased book 3.
Read, read, read this series please!!!!
Two Is A Lie is book 2 in Pam Godwin’s Tangled Lies trilogy. If you like a steamy, love triangle with 2 alpha men full of angst (which I do) then this books for you. This is not a standalone book, in order to really enjoy the story, I recommend reading book one, One Is A Promise, first.
Right when Danni thought she was over the love of her life, Cole, and moved on with mega hottie Trace- BAM -Cole is back from the dead! Not only is he back, he’s brought with him a slew of secrets that change everything. Now Danni has to decide who she will marry, Trace or Cole or walk away from them both.
The angst is real!!! How can Danni choose between two very different but similar men? I know that sounds crazy but both men are overprotective, overbearing, sexy as sin but where Cole is hot headed, Trace is calm and calculating. They both love
Danni but their own meatheaded, stubbornness and inability to share their jobs with her make this triangle stressful but in a good way. The steam between each couple just jumps off the page and if Danni had to decide on that alone I am not sure she could!!
Two Is A Lie ends in a cliffhanger, I am super glad that Three Is A War is available so I don’t have to wait to see who Danni chooses.
The Tangled Lies series continues with Two is a Lie! Pam continues to weave her magic and pull out all of the punches as two men compete for one heart…
Two lies.
Two men who don’t share.
Sexy, emotional and testosterone filled. Truths come to light, choices must be made. Cole and Trace couldn’t be any different. Who will Danni chose?
“It feels as though I have two hearts, and I’m waiting for someone to tell me I have to rip one out and hand it over.”
Pam left us on a cliff and I can’t wait to dive into Three is a War!
One woman, two loves, and an impossible choice.
I loved the characters (#Team Trace all the way), the storyline is great and the angst levels are manageable. (I’m such a wuss when it comes to love triangles.) The narrator did an amazing job of bringing this fantastic, emotional, and sexy story to life. I highly recommend!
Two Is A Lie is book 2 in the Tangled Lies trilogy. This series is the ultimate love triangle and I haven’t read anything like it before!!! It picks up immediately where One Is A Promise left you hanging. I can’t imagine everything Danni continues to go through and how she is possibly still not crumbling! Pam Godwin has absolutely blown me away with this trilogy!! I thought I knew what guy I would have picked but after reading this book my heart is torn into two and I have no idea which one I would pick let alone know what Danni is going to decide! I can’t wait to dive into book 3!!!!
Two is a lie? There are more than lies going on here…holy secrets!
I need Three is a War like yesterday.
This is NOT a standalone, so stop now and go back and read One is a Promise first.
This story draws you in. Danni is a free spirit. She is a dancer and very good at it. She meets Cole in book one. It is magical. He proposed then had to go away for a year for work. Promising he would be back in a year. That doesn’t happen.
I hurt for Danni. She was put in such a hard position, with two men she love more than life. To decide for one or to left them altogether. I didn’t envy her at all. And when she finally breaks, it is as expected, her heart can’t take more so she chooses the only way she knows how… I thought that I could pick Trace for Danni but now I am torn between Cole as well. These two men will do everything to keep this sensual but vulnerable woman safety yet to pick one of them. The problem is, she both loved these two men.
A beautiful, deadly, sexy tale of love story between two lovers. Which one to choose? The series is full of angst and twist. It is so crazy good.
I cannot wait to read the third book. I hope Danni can pick one by then that she truly deserves and her happily ever after.
The first book was freaking awesome but this second book tore my heart right out of my body! It gutted me from beginning to end! I felt every single heart rending agony of these 3 people right up until the end. I sincerely hope book 3 has a happy ending because I honestly can’t see one for Danni, Cole and Trace!
Wow, this trilogy keeps the surprises coming! Cole, Danni and Trace’s story just get more twists and turns in book two, Two is a Lie. I fell in love with this story in books one and book two Jax just made it more interesting! This love triangle will keep you on your toes and certainly keep you turning the pages! Can’t wait to read the the last book in this series!
Warning!!! This series must be read in order!!! Book one and two both end in gasping cliffhangers, so be prepared to dive right in to the next book!
This book picks up with cole home and Trace still engaged to Danni.
You know it is going to be a tough ride because an intense love versus a new intense love is a hiding to nowhere fast.
So Danni gives three options and then picks the one that she feels will be best for all.
This is where it gets tricky.
These men are saints in my opinion for going along with this plan as you know there will be bumps along the way and how they manage to contain their jealousy.. well they dont.
Couple that with Danni’s indecision and breaking the rules that she made , this book makes you scream and shout. If you are like me,you have a favourite that you want her to be with. Try not to choose as this makes you frustrated and very reflective.
At times I dont like Danni or Cole. So Im team Trace.
Then you find out more about the relationship of Cole and Trace and this spin things.
I wont say more.
Ive read previous reviews and have come to the conclusion that Pam Godwin is one brave women. Writing a book that splits readers,makes then angry,frustrated and making you put the book down and walk away coming back.
She is not only brave ,she is talented. to evoke these feelings is down to great writing.
So if you liked the first book ,go with it be brave.
The twist at the end had me shouting at Danni but … well read for yourself.
5 stars
Two is a Lie
By Pam Godwin
Main Characters: Cole, Trace, and Danni
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
5 out of 5 stars
This is book two of this series and I absolutely love it. I have to say again that I hope she chooses both men. This book ends in a cliffhanger and I don’t see how Danni can possibly choose between these two fabulous men. I can’t wait to read the 3rd book. Highly recommend this 3 book series to be read in order.
