Bad Liar (The Reed Rivers Trilogy Book 1) Kindle Edition

Swallowing lies has never felt so good.
Reed freaking Rivers. I wouldn’t trust a word out of the arrogant music mogul’s mouth if his gold-plated tongue were notarized. The Man with the Midas Touch would say anything to get me into his bed, and I know it.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t want him to succeed.
Indeed, the moment I laid eyes on Reed while he was speaking at an on-campus event I’d crashed, my body physically ached to feel his golden fingers—and tongue—all over me. Unfortunately, though, I can’t give into my powerful craving to jump Reed’s cocky bones. Not until I’ve figured out my best strategy with him ...
The truth is Reed has something I desperately want. Something my heart desires even more than my body craves one night of delicious fun with the yummiest man alive. Reed assumes he’s running this game of seduction. He thinks he’s a thirty-four-year-old big cat on the prowl, and I’m nothing but a blushing twenty-one-year old field mouse with stars in my eyes.
Yeah... no.
As Reed is about to find out, he’s not the only cat on the hunt in this game of cat-and-mouse... .

BAD LIAR is the first book of the standalone REED RIVERS TRILOGY. The full trilogy is BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR, to be read in order.

    I'm a sucker for billionaire romances, with an age gap, a sassy FMC and a self-made man with possessive issues. So this was the perfect comfy read I needed to heat up the winter season. The chemistry between the main characters was electric. Georgina the college bartender/future journalist is such a relatable character, headstrong, impulsive, sexy, smart and sassy. And Reed the typical " I dont believe in love" billionaire with a dirty mouth and dirtier hands. Short and sweet the first book was an amazing start for the romance trilogy.

    I loved this story! It’s is a well written lust-at-first-sight romance with engaging, witty, charismatic and calculating characters. I loved the push and pull between Georgina and Reed – the tension, the sparks, and sassy banter as both maneuvered to get what they wanted. While I’m not sure I like Reed’s methods, I can certainly admire his singular focus in his pursuit of Georgina. Given all that he’s done to ensure his conquest, I wonder how Georgina will react when the truth finally comes to light. I’m looking forward to Beautiful Liar for more escapades between these two.

    I’m going to download the 2nd book as soon as I finish writing this short review.

    This book is HOT with cap lock all the way. Maybe even bonded and underlined - lol.

    The energy of ‘Bad Liar’ is great. Not slow at all - thank goodness.

    The energy of Georgie and Reed is top notch and the storyline promises spice and angst that I’m super excited about.

    HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER!!!! Lauren Rowe is a FREAKING GENIUS....THE storyteller of storytellers....the MASTERMIND behind sooooooo many of my FAVE reads....and Reed FREAKING Rivers is gonna TOP THEM ALLLLLLL!!!!!

    To start with, Mr. Rivers is.....how shall I put it? He can be a very LARGE penis (you KNOW what I mean!!!), but he can ALSO be very sweet and caring to those that he loves and respects. It's the stark dichotomy between these two very different sides of this complex and complicated man that I find FASCINATING!!! Added to all this is how INCREDIBLY SEXY I find him!!!! At this point, I think I'm LOVING/HATING him but at the end of this first book in the trilogy, definitely leaning toward LOVING him as more and more of him is uncovered! I can't WAIT to discover even MORE!

    As for Georgina? I am TOTALLY in love with this feisty, beautiful, sexy-and-she-knows-it young woman! She's not afraid to stand up to Reed in any way (one scene in particular had me ROARING with laughter, to the extent of tears rolling!) Georgie is ALREADY my favourite LR heroine....HANDS DOWN!!!!

    I am sitting on tenterhooks, just WAITING for the next book to come....and thank goodness I don't have to wait too long! I CANNOT recommend this first book in the Reed Rivers Trilogy highly or STRONGLY enough....you are gonna LOSE YOUR MIND, just like I have!!!! Ms. Rowe, you ROCK!!!!

    Combustible chemistry and lots of negotiation! Reed has had a hard life and is wary of the fact that most people want something from him. He’s guarded and fearful of letting people into his life. Georgie has ulterior motives but isn’t a gold digger. She’s struggling to make ends meet and help her family too. It was lust at first sight for both of these pretty people but the timing was off but that didn’t dampen the excitement. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. I read this using my KU subscription.

    I never ever spoil something about the book. I leave the experience to you.
    I'm a big fan of Lauren so maybe a little bit biased but man I loved this one. I love the dialogue between the characters the most. Sometimes they are witty sometimes funny but always good. If you loved any other book from Lauren you have to read this one to. If you didn't read anything jet you have to start now. Gif yourself a good time and enjoy this book I know I did 💖💖💖💖💖

    This book captivated me from page one. Lauren is a incredibly talented writer. She always brings characters to life she has certainly done this with Reed and Georgie. 100% cant wait for the next installment. Sucked in and spat back out until the next book.

    Bad Liar is book 1 in the brand new trilogy by Lauren Rowe and boy did she serve us up a treat in this first installment.
    Reed Rivers is finally placed before us, the star of a delicious plate of saucy, sizzling salaciousness. And the exquiste delectable side platter to this spicy delicacy?...the gorgeous firey Georgina Ricci!
    What an absolute corker of a pairing. The chemistry between these two is instant and explosive!
    Mr Rivers would have to be one of THE most anticipated characters to get their own story and I think I can safely say that this book WILL NOT disappoint....like....ANYONE!
    Don't for one minute think that because this story is covered over 3 books that book 1 is light in content. This first slice of the pie whets our appetite with the intitial flirty shenanigans between Reed & Georgie and then gradually, yet not so subtly, fills our senses as we gorge on a banquet of heat, humour and heartbreak, leaving us greedily wanting more, more, more.
    Once again, Lauren Rowe has shown her very unique and talented hand with this story.
    Her ability to engross her readers with clever wit, cheeky banter and overwhelmingly magnetising intimacy, makes her arguably, one of the best in the business and honestly my favourite author.
    Bad Liar NEEDS to be on your reading schedule, and then add Beautiful Liar & Beloved Liar, because once you start this feast you will not be sated until the last drop of ink is placed on the page.
    5 stars of goodness.

    So I know about these characters from a previous series but do not know exactly how they got together. I loved RCR and the Goats in the other series so I’m hoping they play at least a small part in this series too.

    I love how Lauren Rowe writes - refreshing and ballsy..
    Reed Rivers trilogy is good and didn't disappoint with feisty and confident female character and arrogant male character. I must say, the marketing of the trilogy on social media was super effective!
    However, I must say my most favourite book (and sadly Reed Rivers Trilogy doesn't top it) is the Club series - Jonas & Sarah story is my most favourite.
    Well done, Lauren, keep writing. Thoroughly enjoyed these series again.
