My Review:
Pass me a glass of sweet tea and turn on a fan cuz' it just got HOT up in here! Love Lies and Deception is one smoking hot book! I not only need to sit back in my seat I also need to fan down the flames! I was engulfed in this story and hated when it ended. Alec Holden is one very fine but mysterious character that sent my head to spinning. Marissa has her hands full with Alec as he takes her world and spins it every which way. I can't help but wonder if we have heard the last of Marissa and Alec or will there be more to this story later on. L.P. Dover has yet once again amazed me with her writing I fall in love with her books time and time again. I am definitely a huge fan of her work and hope to be reading her works for a long time to come! If you love your romance with a little mystery then go get yourself a copy of Love Lies and Deception today!

Excerpt:
Taking a deep breath, I
turned around to face him with his hands still holding onto my arms. “Are you
asking me on another date?” I asked, teasing him.
He smirked, a slow
tilting of his lip that had me aching to bite it. “That’s up to you if that’s
what you want to call it,” he murmured heatedly.
“What if I do want to
call it that?” I asked boldly.
Alec pinned me up
against the counter and placed his arms on both sides of me, locking me in to
the confines of his body. His piercing blue gaze held me captive, and I was
drowning, struggling to breathe as he moved closer.
Bending low, he
continued his torturous teasing by breathing across my neck. My eyes fluttered
closed as his lips connected with the tender flesh at my collarbone. I shivered
as the chill bumps fanned across my skin and made me weak. His voice in my ear
immediately counteracted the chills. “If you want to call this dating, then I
think that usually requires a little bit of touching, does it not?”
My breathing accelerated
as Alec’s body grew flush with mine, leaning dangerously against me. He tilted
my head back slightly so I had to look into his face. Slowly, I placed my hands
on his hips, and instead of touching the waist of his jeans I was met with the
bare skin of his body where his shirt had lifted up.
Holy shit, his skin felt
hot! I could feel the
ridges on his sides where they disappeared beneath his jeans, and I wanted
nothing more than to trail my tongue down the contours of his muscles.
With hooded eyes, and a
raspy, breathless voice, I replied, “I’m sure it’s customary to withstand some touching,
but not too much since I don’t know you very well.” I said it, but my body didn't really mean it, and he could tell I was lying to myself.
Slowly, he brought his
hand to my face and trailed one of his long, lithe fingers over my cheek and
down my neck. “Like this,” he insisted, swirling his finger around my neck. “Is
this the kind of touching we’re allowed to do?” Chill bumps exploded across my
skin, making me shiver.
“Yes,” I breathed,
relishing in the feel of his touch. “Just like that.”
Closing my eyes, I
sighed as he trailed his finger further down, stopping at my navel. The heat of
his breath fanned across my face as I felt him dipping lower. I didn't dare
open my eyes and risk breaking the connection, but I wanted to see the heat in
his gaze. Ever so slowly, his mouth connected with mine, soft and confident. He
lingered for a moment, not moving, just his lips touched lightly to mine.
I wanted more … a lot
more.
