<blockquote>2nd read and it was just as awesome. <br /><br /><b><u>Initial review</u></b><br />Gaaaaah, I love this.</blockquote>
February 16 2020
I just finished this book moments ago, and I am not at all exaggerating when I tell you this is by far Laurens best work to date. I have wanted Read's story ever since I discovered this incredibly talented lady, and MAN OH MAN, this exceeded my wildest expectations. <br /><br />We know Reed is dubbed as having the "Midas Touch": everything he comes in contact with turns to pure gold. He is the man who is always ten steps ahead of everyone else and will do whatever it takes to make what he wants happens. He's the one who turned his label into what it is today through fierce work and determination, and he's still not done conquering the world. He is very anti relationship, and if you've read Laurens previous books, there was hints that he was very literally screwed over. Because of that, and so many more things that were revealed (which you'll just have to read to find out!?) he has absolutely no desire to be a prince charming. And we all know it would take an incredible woman to tie the great Reed Rivers into knots, and boy does he meet his match!!<br /><br />Georgina -- Georgie-- is absolutely EVERYTHING you want from a heroine: she's tough, sassy, doesn't take Reeds shit, has a backbone, is vulnerable and has a determination that rivals our hero to make her dreams come true.. And is just the perfect blend of sweet, fiery, sexy, and a BADASS. Seriously this woman is perfect. Even before these two actually speak to one another you know the attraction between them is intense, but when they actually interact with one another? HOLY BALLS MY OVARIES.?? <br /><br />Besides their obvious fire, there is such a deep emotion to these two characters, and I can't wait to peel back their layers and see everything underneath. I connected to Reed in ways I wasn't prepared for, and there were parts in the story where my heart just broke for him. I know you all will fall in love with him immediately just like I did! And Georgie too!! I can't stop gushing about just how perfect this entire book is!!!!<br /><br />I cannot express just how magical these two are together.. I started this book and could not put it down!! Reed and Georgie will completely own your soul and immerse you into their story, all the while making you beg for more! I can't wait for the other two books!!<br /><br />Lauren has stated that the words in these books just poured out of her, and it so obvious how true that is and just how much she loves these two characters. Trust me when I say that you need to one click as soon as possible!!!! <br /><br />Also, this trilogy are completely separate from Lauren's other books, so if you are new to her this is the perfect place to start! Happy reading!!! Xoxo <br /><br />**I I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**

Well isn't this an incredible little turn of events.<br /><br />This is the BEST Lauren Rowe book. Not only in terms of writing; but tone, storytelling, steam, drama. <br /><br />Guys...it's all here. I thought I had a favourite LR book (Hey Rockstar, Hey) but Bad Liar, Reed Rivers and Georgie blow all the other couples out the water (Sorry Dax, LOVE YOU, MEAN IT)<br /><br />I knew before I started this that Reed was going to be something special. He's been on the outskirts of The Morgan Brothers series for a while and well enquiring minds want to know.<br /><br />Here we get the first in what will eventually be a trilogy about the Man With The Midas Touch. And what can I say about Georgie? She is everything. Reed is everything. Together? Forgetaboutit. Explosions, chaos, supernova. Boom.<br /><br />Since I heard we were getting a trilogy of Reed Rivers, I knew Lauren was going to knock it out the park. She did. She also knocked out the block, out the city, out the state. And this is just the start?!? I'm stunned that this could get better, but I'm ready because I know. I just know I ain't seen nothing yet. <br /><br />Although Reed has appeared in her other books, these books will stand alone from that, so if you're looking for a place to kick off what I know will be your love of Lauren Rowe, then I can't think of a better place to start. <br /><br />5 stars? Nah. I'd give this at least 14 stars, but since 5 is all Goodreads will let me have, 5 it is.<br /><br />**I received an ARC of this and all the above opinions are my own**<br /><br />

<br /><br />“Even if you ‘only’ kissed her, which I don’t believe, does that really make it okay in your book? If I secretly disappeared with someone... Let’s say Savage. He’s hot as hell. Let’s say I disappeared with Savage into your garage, in the middle of the party tonight, without telling you, and I made out with him in here until my lips were swollen and my lipstick smeared and my face bright red and my hair tousled—but it meant nothing to me!—that would be perfectly fine with you? That wouldn’t break your heart, after everything that’s happened between us this week?”<br /><br /><br />“Georgie,” I choke out, the enormity of what I’ve done slamming me. “Please, put yourself in my shoes. The example of Savage isn’t the same thing. I’ve known Isabel tenyears. She’s getting married and wanted one last kiss. It was a goodbye kiss, Georgie. It’s unreasonable for you to expect me not to give her that, after ten years of knowing her, when I’ve only known you a matter of weeks."<br /><br />PS: This scene happens in book two, so if you don't like reading books about cheaters then be warned.

Guys, a word of warning – this book isn't just hot... it's on FIRE!! Holy moly! I've read all of Lauren Rowe's previous books, and I can honestly say each and every one of them is sensational. But Bad Liar? Man, it's on a totally different level. Her writing literally BLOWS MY MIND time and time again. This book is simply OUTSTANDING!<br /><br />I hope you’re ready to dive into Reed and Georgina's world - because you'll get totally submerged into their story, and won’t want to come up for air until the very last word on the final page. It truly is MAGNIFICENT. They're the perfect match for each other!<br /><br />Although Reed is cocky and arrogant, he’s everything you could possibly want in a man... and then some, and the gorgeous Georgina is feisty as anything! Her sassiness is totally off the scale! I adore her!<br /><br />Bad Liar is the first book of the standalone Reed Rivers trilogy, (with Beautiful Liar and Beloved Liar to follow shortly thereafter) - and I'm actually quite glad it's in three parts. I LOVE the anticipation of what’s to come next, and truth is I want to wallow in Reed and Georgina's story for as long as possible! As with all of Lauren’s books, you can guarantee that it will definitely be worth the wait. <br /><br />In my opinion, Lauren Rowe’s BEST work to date. 5 humongous sexy gold shiny stars for sure! BRAVO!

4.5 stars! I really loved this!! Reed Rivers was always super intriguing to me because he was such a mystery. I love Lauren Rowe’s books and I’m determined to finish her entire back list. If you like the Morgan Brothers series, you will also like this!

The words that I'm about to write will truly not capture how AMAZING this book is. Lauren's brilliant words caused me to read this book in one sitting and block out the real world until I finished. I couldn't read the words fast enough. This new, long-awaited standalone trilogy may just be her best work yet. <br /><br />Reed is billed as the Man with the Midas Touch, but he doesn't seem to apply this to his love life. He's a player that no one would consider a Prince Charming, but then he meets Georgie and it's game on baby. She's marvelous, strong, fierce, SASSY, not afraid to say what she feels and let's emotions guide her choices. To put it frankly...she's a BADASS! She's by far my favorite female character ever. Not just of Luaren's, but EVER! It is so rare to find female characters that balance strength, emotion, and sexuality in an admirable way, but Georgie checks all of those boxes.<br /><br />Reed is so screwed with this girl. He's kind and thoughtful, but keeps that hidden under a mask of bravado, cockiness, and his radiating sexuality. Trust me when I say this...he will make you swoon hard core. Watching him squirm and ache for Georgie is so thrilling and addicting. <br /><br />The two of them together combust and pull you deeper in with every page you read. Then the ending leaves you with the aching need for more, in the best possible way. Talk about a book hangover! I have to read it again right now just to get another fix until I can get my hands on Beautiful Liar, which is book number 2 in this trilogy that has me utterly enraptured and spellbound. <br /><br />Lauren is a genius and you can truly tell she put everything she had into this book. You feel the passion in every word, plus the sexiness is off the charts HOT!

Ahhh! <br>This<br>Was<br>EPIC!<br><br>Lauren Rowe and her ability to capture my heart with her amazing words will never cease to amaze me. I'm ashamed to say It's been a while since I have read anything by this author and I am realizing again now why I love her work so damn much. She's flawless and a master at her craft. <br><br>Going into this I had an expectation and of course, they were met, but I didn't expect was just how much this story between Georgina and Reed would grab hold of me. <br><br>Georgina is sassy and witty, feisty and fun. She's strong-headed, open and stays true to herself and loves herself. Honestly could not ask for a better heroine in a romance book. Honestly, she was perfect in every day, and I kind of had a slight woman crush on her! <br><br><br>Reed is the type of guy who thinks he can have what he wants when he wants it and what he wants is Georgina and to him, he thinks it's an easy hunt, but the last thing he expected was for her to turn him down. But he won't stop at that and will do just about anything to get this firey and sassy woman. Reed finds it intriguing and a massive turn on that this woman isn't dropping to her knees and begging for him as most women would. That she isn't want to instantly fall in love with him and that she is making him work it and work for it he does! <br><br>These two together were fireworks, the way they bounced off each other, but also grounded each other in a way. The chemistry and sexual tension between these two were thick and intense, to say the least, and had me craving more as the book progress. <br><br><br><br>This would have to be one of my top reads of 2020 so far and I am itching for book two! <br><br>5 Stars!<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1567925876i/28116871._SX540_.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy">

Would you ever believe me if I said that this was Lauren Rowe's BEST BOOK YET, if I said it was her BEST WRITING YET, her BEST STORYTELLING YET?!?! Because it is! Never mind anything that has come before, THIS, this is IT! The ABSOLUTE ULTIMATE! <br /><br />Lauren has thrown us DEEP into the world of REED RIVERS and I NEVER, EVER want to leave! <br />Bad Liar is the first book of the BRAND NEW standalone trilogy featuring Reed Rivers, music mogul extraordinaire and keeper of my heart and soul. No prior reading of any of Lauren's books are required to read this book, to start this trilogy, you can just dive in and revel in all that is Reed Rivers.<br /><br />I am struggling to put into words how EPIC this book is and this is only the beginning. I am in awe. Everything to do with this book is UTTER PERFECTION! Reed is EVERY-DAMN-FUCKING-THING you want him to be and Georgie is pure SASS and FIRE and I abso-fucking-lutely LOVE HER! Together, the two are FIRE. I am so freaking glad there are three books (releasing around 4 weeks apart) for Reed & Georgie because I CANNOT GET ENOUGH of them!<br /><br />Bad Liar will begin a journey for you, as it has done for me, that you will never forget. It is undoubtedly Lauren's best work yet. Impeccable story telling, amazing characters, connection, emotion, heat, humour, EVERYTHING! Bad Liar is a TOP, TOP, HIGHLY memorable read of 2020!
