The Lying Kind by C.B. London Publication date: April 25th 2023 Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense
Synopsis:
A lie might hurt, but the truth can kill. On the eve of her wedding to Mark, Carmen’s world is shattered into a million pieces. Forced to make an impossible decision that will determine the rest of her life, she dares to chart her own course. While trying to start over again, she finds herself alone and far from the home she knew in Nova Scotia. When she meets Liam, a handsome carpenter and business owner in Boston, her world is once again flipped on its axis. The attraction is undeniable, and the unimagined possibilities of her life tempt her into happiness again. But things that seem too good to be true, usually are. As if there isn’t enough on her plate, she’s forced to deal with an ex-fiancé who won’t give up and a violent attack that lands her in the hospital. Unravelling the truth behind this seemingly random attack and Liam’s past proves to be far more than she bargained for. She’s now forced to face the truth, that everyone has secrets. Some are hurtful, and some are downright deadly. When their old and new lives collide, Carmen desperately wants to protect everything she’s gained, including Liam, but at what cost?

My thoughts:
This book was soooo good! I didn't think I'd finish in time for my #booktour date, but it was so good, I couldn't put it down! I'm a pretty big chicken when it comes to anything scary, and this one definitely had a few tense moments, but I survived so you can too! There was also just enough steam to make it a good romance without making it excessively descriptive lol. Romance-suspense is definitely the right genre haha. Plus with Boston mob bosses, steamy one-night stands, picturesque details about Halifax and Boston, this one definitely gets lots of stars from me!
Best of all, there's a giveaway! It ends June 22nd though so get your entries in asap!
AUTHOR BIO:
C.B. London lives in Nova Scotia with her husband and two young boys. Her love affair with words began with poetry at a very young age. She still finds great inspiration in written work that has a rhythmic quality, a cadence to the words that begs to be read aloud. When she’s not busy with her family or work, you can find her trying to avoid the endless chores of adulthood, curled up under a blanket (yes, even in the summer) with a cup of coffee, reading or writing. She absolutely loves a rainy day! Romance always finds its way into whatever she’s writing, and almost always, whatever she’s reading. If there’s kissing, she’s in. With degrees in Psychology and Sociology, she’s intrigued by the analysis of social interaction, particularly, attraction, falling in love, and the complexities of intimate relationships. As a contemporary romance and women’s fiction author, she explores these concepts while torturing her main characters as much as she can, still affording them a happily ever after at the end.
