Earler reviews of LIE TO ME on this site do not make enough of the wit and the sexiness of the goings-on. Starr Ambrose makes convincing the emotions of the two principals for 21st-century readers by graphic demonstrations of their mutual attraction. They cannot keep their hands off each other! A clever element is the complications of the story's theme of lies. Everyone lies to everyone else, and especially to themselves. Ambrose handles very well the shifts in point of view that let the reader detect the ways that each character kids him/herself throughout. A lot of fun!

Gorgeous Jack presents a problem that even this funny and smart-mouthed heroine might have trouble solving... Fabulous story, couldn't put it down.
