I met my true love when I was twenty-seven.
He was handsome, charming, witty, and irresistible. Jayden Monroe came along when I was struggling with indecision and made things simple, turned monochrome into vivid color, and forever altered my perspective on life. I was not naive enough to believe in happily ever after, but with Jayden, it seemed possible . . . until I realized something wasn’t quite right. You see, I met a man who would be anyone I needed him to be, and after I found out that fact, I knew it would be impossible to walk away. His disorder, however, would change everything I ever thought about love and what it truly meant to accept someone for who they are.
This is not my sob story; this is his success story.

Review




Ms Stewart has written a story about what happens when the wiggly little boy grows into a man. A man who fears his reactions. His decisions. His control. And the woman who wants to understand him without devaluing him. This is about what happens to the self esteem and impulse control of the medicated masses when they grow up. I predict this one will make you laugh, hope, cringe, swoon, and think. I know I did. -The Indie Bookshelf

I felt a very broad range of emotions during this read. I have two sons with ADHD and a bipolar mother. To say this was like visiting family would be an understatement. I felt the extreme highs and lows that this author brought this couple through and fell in love with them at the same time.- Nichole Sizzling Pages Romance Reviews


6 STARS!!
This book opened my eyes to the controversy surrounding ADHD and how many people in our society take it lightly. It is a powerful disorder and everyone should brush up on it. -Michelle the Romance Junkie

This was a beautiful story!!
A very well written book. Great, real characters. Great storyline and relatable situations. I loved how their relationship developed. A roller coaster ride of emotions. And what I mean by that is ALL THE FEELS!! -Beatriz Cover to Cover

Before reading this book I really didn't know what to expect. I wondered how ADHD would fit into a romance book and how it would all play out.
BUT Loving the White Liar, exceeded all my expectations. This wonderful, raw gripping yet beautiful story of love, hurt, happiness, sadness and hope is truly breathtaking.- Sophie Bookalicious Book Babes

5.0 out of 5 stars Loving the white liar, the devious dog and the demanding diva...

Confessions...I read books...a lot of books, and sometimes I have the very bad habit of thinking every medical and mental illness I read about, I've got. After reading Loving the White Liar I think I've got ADHD.

- SOCIAL CUES - I sometimes say the wrong things in public
- HYPER FOCUS - I am addicted to reading too much that life goes on without me
- IMPULSE CONTROL - I have been known to buy things I don't need e.g. shoes and clothes
- RESTLESSNESS - If I drink too much coffee I can't sleep
- EXPLOSIVE TEMPERAMENT/ SUDDEN OUTBURST OF EMOTION - PMS...enough said
- SOCIAL ANXIETY/ FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN - I don't want to be at a One Direction concert

OK, I'm being silly and this book did open my eyes to the seriousness of ADHD. Like Hilary the heroine of the story I didn't think it was a big deal. I thought it was more about the OCD and hyper activity, but it's so much more.

This story was gripping. I started to question things about myself and some of the answers shocked me. Would I be like Hilary was at first and question why such a good looking guy would be interested in me? Would I question what was wrong with him? Would I willingly be with someone if I knew how hard things would get? All of these feelings made me question whether I could cope as well as Hilary did. Yes, at times she struggled and wondered if it was all worth it, but I never doubted her love for him.

Wow...Jayden. I loved this character. I knew going in there were going to be issues, but silly me I judged based on the good stuff instead of the whole package. I knew he was going to be devoted and caring. I knew he was good looking and did sweet and loving gestures. I never thought of the repercussions of living with someone who's mind taps out to a beat ten times faster than everyone else's. The pressure Jay faced daily to be like others. He wanted to be normal for Hilary, so she never felt the need to leave. Their journey was a hard one to read but so rewarding in the end.

I admit I went into reading this story with preconceived ideas, after all this is a romance. I thought it would be about him getting better with Hilary's help. As Dr Sawyer's character explained brilliantly, it's about finding your own ways to cope and manage loving someone who has ADHD, not changing them. I think that was the turning point for me. I realised the perfect love story doesn't always have two perfect people getting together. It's about two people who are perfect together (warts and all) working towards their HEA.

This story wasn't an easy or light and fluffy read. There were times I thought they should just give up, and times where I wanted Hilary to suck it up buttercup. Honestly, I never felt anger at Jayden. When the harsh words came flying from him and the shutting down and rejection were there, I just wanted to help him. I didn't know the answers or solutions to help Hilary cope, but I wanted to. There are no easy answers and that was my biggest lesson to be learnt.

My enjoyment of this story was a slow build. At first I thought Hilary was immature, but soon realised that she just hadn't found a reason to want to grow up. I loved seeing Jayden grow to trust and believe that Hilary wanted to be HAM (Jayden's last name is Munroe) and was willing to work at it. This story made me laugh, cry, blush and cringe. I felt it all, ended on a high and wanted more. Definitely one of my best reads for 2015.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars! Loving the White Liar (stand-alone). A candid look at loving a man with ADHD!
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2015

“You’re my best friend,” he said tearfully, “my lover, my strength, my reason for being, which I never thought was possible. I never thought there was anyone for me.” He was openly crying as I looked down at him.”

Loving the White Liar is Hilary A Monroe, Hil’s story how she came to be and had to cope with being in a relationship with man with ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder).

While doing laps in the pool at her apartment complex travel agent Hilary meets a charming neighbor woodworker Jayden Monroe, Jay. They both feel an attraction; flirting leads to dating which quickly leads to a deep friendship and much more. But along the way their relationship plateaus Hil not understanding why. There are signs... subtle at first; white lies Jayden not have had any successful relationships…

It turns our Jayden has a secret; He has ADHD. Naïve, ignorant and unprepared Hil forges ahead with their relationship. The story goes on to follow them in sky-high ups and rock-bottom lows as she discovers what dealing with ADHD truly entails. Needless to say this causes both stress and strain on their relationship.

It’s a candid look into the complexity of ADHD. That said contrary to what I expected this is Hil’s journey. Jayden had already been proactive with his condition, structuring his life is such a way that he was functioning. I have so much respect for him.

JAYDEN A. MONROE, Jay: 27 years/Woodworker/Dark brown hair/Purple eyes/Tattoos/ADHD.
Jayden Monroe, Jay has overcome so much and learned to function in a very intolerant, fast paced society despite his ADHD. There was nothing that bothered me about what he said or did. I felt there were mitigating circumstances for everything. Nine words to describe Jayden: forthcoming, insecure, loving, temperamental, focused, determined, proactive, hard-working and lovable.

HILLARY A. MONROE, Hil: 27 years/Travel agent/Marketing/Auburn hair/Blue eyes/5’5”.
There were times Hilary A Monroe, Hil angered me. Her immaturity, ignorance, insensitivity and poor timing caused more stress on their relationship and Jayden’s health. For me this was HER journey of growth. In the end I forgave her. Eight words to describe Hil: Loving, sweet, immature, ignorant, naïve, thoughtless, determined and loyal.

Loving the White Liar is an intense mixture of romance and angst. Though my heart broke a couple of times it is a heart-warming life story of hope and love. As mentioned Hil frustrated me at times with her ignorance and inability to see the big picture, but she came around and I forgave her. Plus that ending more than made up for any angst. It was perfection through and through.

Candid and insightful story-telling! Thought-provoking plot! Oh so sweet hero! A beautiful message of love and hope!
“Playful Jayden was adorable. Nervous Jayden was endearing. Affectionate Jayden was beautiful. But this Jayden... this Jayden was molten.”

5.0 out of 5 stars An emotional eye opener!
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2015

I just love Kate Stewart. This is her third novel and the third novel that I have just fallen in love with. I think the thing that makes her books stand out for me is the reality of the characters. They are flawed and they make mistakes and they don't always learn for their mistakes. It's that human error that makes her stories so easy to relate too.

This book takes us on a journey with 27 year old Hilary as she realizes she isn't getting any younger and it's time to get her life in order. During this revelation, she meets her new neighbor Jayden and her life immediately starts to come together all at once. It's quickly apparent that something is a little off with him, but the pull was immediate and the heart wants what it wants. Hillary and Jaygen have anything but a typical relationship. As secrets of his life are unveiled and their relationshp progresses they begin to face many struggles and sometimes you have to ask if love is enough?

I enjoyed the characters. They were passionate, quirky and had their hilarious moments. There were also plenty of emotional and intense moments. Many times in books the only thing keeping the characters apart is their stuipidy. This isn't the case for Hillary and Jaygen. They have to fight and they have to overcome real obstacles to even figure out if it's worth fighting for.

I really liked the way the author shined light on a common disorder that noone really puts much thought into. Even as a nurse, I am even guilty of simplifying this disorder and not realizing the devastating effects and strength it takes to live with this. This book was a huge eye opener for me.

Full of laughs, a few tears, and more than one emotionally draining moment, I would definitely recommend this book.

Never having known anyone with ADHD before this story has opened my eyes to the disorder. This is a must read the author has written a beautiful and emotional packed story, Hilary and Jayden are a Fantastic couple and I can't get enough of them I would love it if the author wrote a follow up story or a novella for them or maybe Hilary's sister Alex and Jayden's friend Owen that would be cool.

I started this book much like others until I realised you were going to use ADHD as the "other element" in this story. Maybe I should of put it down, but I didn't......my son who I love unconditionally is 25 next week and was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 5 years old. We went through the counseling, strategy sessions, ritalin, concerta and finally stratera until at 16 he said enough.

I would hate to think this is his life, that nothing but struggling is ahead of him. Sadly as good as this book is...for me it's a personal can of worms.
