Grace Maddox has become a marked woman with danger nipping
at her heels. She isn't even sure she can depend on her
family, because it is for their sins that she has been
targeted. When she is attacked in her own home a hero comes
running to her side ... except he is a member of the wrong
family. But who can she trust when there are so many DIRTY
LITTLE LIES surrounding her at every turn.
Zack Richards is a man of many secrets and he knows some
that will break young Grace's heart. The biggest secret he
has kept from her is that he believes that Grace belongs to
him. She is the only thing in their world that is worth
fighting for and even ... worth dying for.
Accepting Zack's help, though he has given her little
choice, Grace finds herself fighting a battle she had not
expected to fight with this particular man. She has loved
him for years but had given up that he would notice her,
but now this close, living in his home, never out of his
sight, the temptation is almost unbearable. She can't
believe what she sees in his eyes and she can't ever
surrender to what she feels.
DIRTY LITTLE LIES is a scorching, action-packed book. This
is author Lora Leigh at her naughty best with characters
that you will love, others you will hate and still some
that will simply surprise you. I will have to admit that I
was on the bubble with Grace, she did just a little too
much waffling and did tend to be whiny. On the occasions
that she pulled up her big girl panties she was a force to
be reckoned with and the perfect match for Zack. He also
was a bit of an autocratic jerk, too controlling with an
attitude that I found irritating. I thought perhaps that
having known Grace forever he would understand how to deal
with her better but he did some dumb things.
That said, I
still found the storyline amazingly complex and very
compelling. There are a lot of people involved, a number of
brothers that come out of the woodwork, and many secrets
that will keep you glued to the pages. Despite the danger
there were a number of funny moments and one in particular
involving the threat of bringing a bunch of wooden, antique
furniture into Zack's house had me laughing out loud.
Although this particular mystery was resolved, I am hoping
that Ms. Leigh will bring us more books involving some of
Grace's "brothers" and cousins. I would love to see
Beau-Remi, Mad and Cord get their own stories.
If you are looking for surprises that don't seem to stop,
an autocratic male and a woman who learns quickly how to
handle him, steamy yet sweet romance, and a lot of action
and intrigue ... then DIRTY LITTLE LIES is what you are
looking for.
