Review / Release Blitz: No Time to Lie (Masters & Mercenaries: Reloaded #4) by Lexi Blake

Their love may be endgame.

No Time to Lie, an all-new action-packed, second chance romance in the Masters and Mercenaries: Reloaded Series from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake is now available!


A grandmaster of lies and deception

Drake Radcliffe has spent half his life in the shadows. Recruited by the CIA when he was barely out of high school, Drake doesn’t know how to have a normal life. While most people his age were playing sports or video games, he was playing spy games with the world’s most dangerous adversaries. It has been a life filled with thrills and adrenaline, but it’s also been lonely. All that might change when a mistake from Drake’s past rears its ugly head and he’s forced to face the only woman he ever loved—the one he’d vowed to stay away from.

A beacon of love and compassion

Taylor Cline committed the cardinal sin in her world—she fell for another operative. Drake was everything she wanted in a man, until he broke her heart. She had one unforgettable night with him and then he never looked back. Her future threatened and family in ruins, she shut down and moved on, hoping to never see him again. Just as she is beginning to put it all behind her, a critical assignment puts her under his authority and right back in his arms.

A deadly mission that brings them together

From the wilds of Wyoming to the glittering cities of Europe, Drake and Taylor must race against time to uncover the truth and expose an evil organization. The stakes couldn’t be higher. If they fail, the world could crumble. If they succeed, they could finally have everything their hearts desire.



MY REVIEW

Taylor and Drake had a brief but significant moment years ago, but it ended in less than ideal circumstances. She's spent the time since becoming a truly amazing spy now working on a critical op. She's got vengeance in mind, she's gunning for the people who killed her father, himself a legendary spy. Then who finagles his way onto her op, but the man who broke her heart all those years ago? She faces a choice to either walk away from the op she's created, or to stick around and work with the man who betrayed her.

Drake has spent all this time thinking Taylor was a traitor. Now that he knows differently, he's determined to have a second chance with her. He knows he's really blown it with her, and that's she's more than angry, she wants revenge for her father's death. He can help her get what she wants, and get his second chance with the only woman he's had feelings for in years. Will she ever let him back in? Or keep a tight lid on the heart he wants?

Fast-paced spy romance with a great couple. It's what I've come to expect from this series and the one it's spun off from, and that's exactly what Taylor and Drake gave me. Though they fell very quickly, the feelings were obviously very strong considering how they felt even years later. Taylor made Drake work his ass off for forgiveness, he gave very good grovel! The heat between them is delicious (hello Dom Drake!) and the suspense is just as intriguing as the relationship. There's also a very appealing epilogue that gives a glimpse of an upcoming series perhaps, that I'm already anxiously waiting for more of.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
