DON'T LOVE A LIAR is the second
book in Cynthia Eden's scintillating Dark Sins series. Remy St. Clair first appeared in the
previous book in the series, DON'T
TRUST A KILLER, where he was a wildcard with questionable
loyalties and a nebulous past. In DON'T
LOVE A LIAR, Remy seems to be at odds with himself over who he
was and who he wants to be. Kennedy Clarke frustrates Remy as much
as she attracts him because she makes him confront his past and the
choices he's made. Kennedy Clarke is a woman embroiled in a scandal
because her missing twin brother is being actively pursued in
connection to some grisly "Broken Doll" serial killings. In true Cynthia
Eden style, the themes of trust and betrayal are expertly showcased in
this riveting story.
In DON'T LOVE A LIAR, Remy St.
Clair is something of a revelation for me. I didn't give much thought to
Remy in the previous book and saw him as not much more than a
shadowy and silent tough guy, but here, Cynthia Eden really explores
his depths. Additionally, Kennedy is in a world of chaos and crisis with
her twin brother missing and hunted as a possible killer. Remy's job is
to get close to her and capture her brother. It's difficult not to feel
compassion for Kennedy and see her as a damsel in distress. With each
landmine thrown in her path, Kennedy shows resiliency and slowly
evolves into a woman who can face danger and survive. Remy is
fiercely attracted to Kennedy, but his guilt over lying to her acts as a
barrier to their budding relationship. The sexual tension is phenomenal
and Cynthia Eden writes sizzling scenes worthy of any film noir classic.
In many ways, this story feels like a classic Cynthia Eden tale, but there
are a lot of elements that deviate from the norm. And these new
elements convey a breathtakingly real sense of fear.
DON'T LOVE A LIAR is a thrill ride
full of unexpected but intoxicating twists and turns. This story has a
hero who gains insight into who he really is, and a heroine who is
stronger than she thought she was. The romance is top-notch, but the
mystery is fascinating as well and just as delectable. I eagerly await
Cynthia Eden's next tale of red-hot romance and thrills.
She thinks his job is to protect her. It isn't.
Remy St. Clair has been a criminal, a thief, and a
killer. He's been the hero who rushes in to save the day.
He's been the corporate CEO who runs the world. He's been
everything.
He's been nothing.
That's Remy's talent. He's a chameleon. He can become
anyone, and he can do anything. Remy does whatever it
takes to get the job done. He's the FBI's secret weapon.
This time, Kennedy Clarke is the job. Remy is supposed to
get close to her and find out everything she knows about
a killer who is turning Louisiana red with blood. Only
Kennedy isn't the woman Remy expects her to be. Not the
rich party girl. She's scared and lost, and she's a
victim in this tangled web. She wants someone to rely on.
Someone who will help her when the whole world falls in
flames around her.
She thinks Remy is that guy. She's dead wrong. Remy is
the one working against her even as he swears to protect
her.
But the longer Remy is with Kennedy, pretending to be her
protector, pretending to be the lover she needs, the more
he wants her. Soon, even Remy isn't sure what's right and
what's wrong any longer.
The only thing he knows...he can't let Kennedy go. Too
bad he's betraying the one woman he wants more than any
other.
