Sweet Liar: 1 (Dirty Sweet)

Received ARC in exchange of an honest reviewDylan is nineteen years senior to Audrey but is smitten when he meets her for the first time.The only thing stopping Dylan is his experience but Audrey's believe in romance is breaking down his walls.

I read so many good books but Laurelin Paige has this unfathomable control over my mind. Dylan and Audrey's story turned my inside mushy and messy. In "Sweet Liar" Laurelin Paige once again proved why is she one of the all time best Romance writers. The forbidden, sensual, slowly burning and passionate story of the mismatched couple will haunt me forever. I devoured the story and I am hungry for more. It is deliciously dirty yet sinfully attractive.Dirty Universe is like my alternate reality. I live and breathe these books. Sweet Liar is an amazing and exquisite addition to the list. Dylan Locke, the smooth talking, charming, uber bossy and devilishly handsome British business partner of Donovan and Weston meets Audrey Lind,the sweet, sexy, lively and innocent sister of Sabrina in dinner. By the night is over, they have gotten into a tangled mess. Audrey wants Dylan to teach her how to be pleased by a real man. Dylan is painfully attracted to her. Then where is the problem? Well except the fact that Dylan is 19 years older and divorced with a boy and has a very hard realistic idea about love in contrast to Audrey's open loving self, we have nothing.Laurelin Paige taunts you with short sexy interactions between Dylan and Audrey. The whole story is like a prolonged and very intense foreplay not only for the characters but for the readers too. I don't know how she keeps on creating a different kind of super attractive alpha man in each book. Dylan is more mature, experienced and hardened from bitterness of life. But Audrey is breaking all his controlled barriers with her refreshing beauty, compassionate mind and ability to love easily. They think they can separate love from sex. But it is way more complicated. And I have left the characters' fate in the very capable hand of Laurelin Paige. She has handled this sexy age gap story like a pro. I expected nothing less than perfection from her and she delivered it to me on a silver platter. With a side of a very dirty talking bedroom beast!The sexiness of this story is not in physical acts. It oozes from the conversations. The erotic flavor comes from captivating and mesmerizing writing of Laurelin Paige.The well orchestrated smouldering dance of emotions made it an extraordinary book.Received ARC for honest review

I loved this novella.I loved it when I was forced to read it chapter by chapter every month last year when Laurelin released this story exclusively to her newsletter subscribers only, and my love then grew MORE when this copy appeared on my Kindle and I devoured all eleven chapters once again - this time in the span of a morning.Eleven chapters that're full of fun, flirty, and filthy banter.Eleven chapters full of sexy, sensual, and steaming scenes.Eleven chapters full of hot, gasp-worthy, and face-fanning moments that had me wishing that this story would never have to end.Sweet Liar was everything I hoped it'd be and more; it had all I've come to expect from a Laurelin Paige story - a hooking storyline, fun and relatable characters, and sizzling chemistry between those characters that'll leave you a gasping mess. But more so it had all I've come to know and love from a story set in her Dirty Universe - a hero who is dirty filthy rich, a heroine who is fierce and fiery to the core, and a unique storyline that sucked me in from the very beginning.It's a story I'd been highly anticipating to read ever since that moment in Dirty Filthy Rich Love when Audrey let slip that she'd kissed Dylan Locke, a man who's not just co-CEO of the company her sister works for, but a man who is also twenty years her senior, and THAT right there was the kind of story I wanted to read. Though I'll admit, I'm always hesitant TO read age-gap romances, mainly because the ones I've read before in the past have ended up being huge disappointments. But I think it's safe to say - going by my five star rating - that I was NOT disappointed with all that Laurelin delivered here in Sweet Liar.An age-gap romance that's also a swooning Daddy-foreplay romance is what this novella is all about, one that, at first, had me howling with laughter (mainly at Dylan's cluelessness), before then leaving me a gasping mess at the chemistry that only ever continued to grow between these two characters the more it is their story went on - their funny, unique, dirty, filthy, and just downright sexy story.And it's a story that I just truly could not get enough of, and told in a dual POV, this quick read is one you are guaranteed to devour if you're a fan of Laurelin's and her works, or if you're just a general lover of dirty, filthy, age-gap romances. And now? There honestly isn't anything else to say other than: Bring on Sweet Fate! And just in case you're wondering, Sweet Liar doesn't end on a cliffhanger, but it DOES end with an open-ending and a guarantee of more to come, and I am now counting down the days until I'm able to get Sweet Fate in my hands, because Sweet Liar... It was just one fantastic book; one I absolutely adored, and one I truly did not want to see have to end.

I feel like I read this in ten minutes! Why is it in two parts? Hopefully part two is available in KU or I'll not be bothering. I can't give this more than three stars because it was over before I could fully get into it.It's an ok read, quick pace and interesting. It is very short but I'm glad the author didn't fill it with waffle for her to stretch the story into two books. So for this reason it still earnt three stars it gets instead of one.* ok I just saw the price of book two. Woahh! Reviewed my three to one star. Definitely not worth carrying on. Book two is as short as this. It looks to me that book one was ‘free’ simply because the price has been added on to the second book.

I’ve been looking forward to Dylan and Audrey’s story. When they first meet Dylan bowled over by Audrey confidence and how outspoken she is. At first is like watching the foreplay that was mostly verbal, but was never the less scorching hot. It was foreplay of the mind which Laurelin does so well. Audrey is Sabrina Lind’s younger sister, we met her in Donovan and Sabrina duet.This was an introduction to Dylan’s life and his fierce attraction to Audrey Lind a young women who is young enough to be his daughter. I don’t know how Laurelin Paige does it creating these hot tortured men, and super confident women who give them a run there money. This has really whet my appetite for hot hunky tortured men. While I’m waiting for Sweet Fate I’m going to read Donovan’s again.

Dylan Locke is another one of the partners that make up Reach Inc but as he’s a Brit he’s based in the UK although he makes frequent visits to New York to visit his son . A chance meeting with Audrey a sassy young lady ,who by Dylan’s admission is young enough to be his daughter , is about to turn his life upside down. Audrey is the younger sister of Sabrina who is the girlfriend of another one of the Reach partners the gorgeous Donovan Kincaid . Greatly attracted to Dylan whilst sharing a ride home Audrey manages to get a kiss out of Dylan and it’s clear both want more and exchange numbers . Next day Dylan goes to see an appartment the following day that he’s interested in buying ,Audrey goes with him , when the pair are left alone things heat between them . Although not totally innocent Audrey has never been satisfied sexually with her two previous boyfriends so she comes up with a proposition to get Dylan to tutor her in all things to do with sex, of course Dylan agrees as they will be going their separate ways in a few days time . Waiting patiently for the continuation to see how this unlikely love story will pan out .

Ooh can’t wait to find out what happens next to Dylan and Audrey.Dylan is not only 19 years older than Audrey but he is also her sister Sabrina’s boss. They meet whilst she’s on break from uni visiting Sabrina and he’s in the country doing business.Audrey’s sex life has been ‘blah’ so she asks Dylan to teach her ‘a thing or two or seven’ about sex. He agrees as they’re both only in town for a few days, and then he’ll go back home to London and she’ll go back to uni and that will be the end of it. However nothing is ever that straight forward and they start to develop feeling for each other but neither says anything and they both leave as planned.I enjoyed their story, even though I’m not sure on the 19 year old age gap, I do look forward to finding out what happens between them.
