A Beautiful Lie
T.E. Sivec
**4 STARS**
I was given an arc to this book in
exchange for a honest review.
I cannot say very much without giving this
storyline away, but I’m going to do my best hereJ I was impressed with
Tara’s ability to go from hilarious to serious. There was an original storyline
with many questions to be answered.
"Every
single day for eight years you were the only one I ever wanted to be completely
honest with."
What do you do when you know it was meant to
be, but your best friend sees her first? Milo loves Parker, but Garrett loves
her more. What happens when Milo dies in the line of duty? Can best friends
stay just friends?
"If
you were mine, I would never be able to walk away from you. If you were mine,
I’d worship every inch of your body with my hands, lips, and tongue. If you
were mine, I wouldn't be able to stand in the same room as you without running
my hands over your skin and tasting your lips."
Parker was
about as kickass as a heroine can get. She has a big secret you learn pretty
early on, that adds to her appeal. She is strong-minded, snarky, and
no-nonsense. She loves with her whole heart. She has no family, and has learned
to be independent and self-sufficient.
Garrett is
my favorite type of hero- tall, dark, handsome, and very much into the girl! He
is a bit of a ladies man, but we all know that’s just because he couldn’t have
the only girl he wanted. He is a military man, and looks damn fine in a
uniform;) Parker and Milo are his best friends, how far will he be willing to
go for them?
They
both knew everything about this moment would change them forever. They both
understood there was no going back.
Garrett
chooses to go to the Dominican Republic with his team, to find out what
happened to Milo. Parker is a freelance photographer, and as luck would have
it, Garrett is in need of a photographer for the mission. Will they be able to
act as husband and wife long enough to take on the government?
There are so
many questions during A Beautiful Lie, lots of little hints given along the
way. It is in third person POV, which takes some time to get used to, but when
done correctly, is my favorite way to read. I loved the story, but it didn’t
pull me in 100%, When I read, I want to forget I’m reading words, and instead,
be sucked into the story, I want to feel every word, for there to be no seams.
I didn’t quite reach that point in this story. But that being said, the story
was a great one, and I think Tara Sivec has the potential to do great, I see
this as being her first story (in this genre) she did great. I look forward to
hearing more from her!
