Review: Lie For Me - VR Baucke

Lie For Me by VR Baucke
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

VR Bauke is a new author for me and could quite possibly be someone that I continue to read after having read Lie For Me. This was such an amazingly sweet, hot read that I couldn’t out it down. It looks at the relationship between Travis ‘Freak’ O’ Brien and Dylan ‘Goat’ Jackson. Dylan has secrets, big secrets that she can’t tell anyone. She is a chameleon, living a lie but this is something she needs to do in order to stay safe and alive. Dylan ends up working at the same garage as Travis who feels like he’s seen Dylan before (he totally has) and is instantly attracted to this sassy, strong minded woman. But life takes a precarious turn when Dylan must make a choice…. stay or go.

The two characters were really well written in this book, you see the depths that they have and are really ensconced into their relationship and how they feel about each other. When Travis realises that Dylan has gone and falls apart was really heart-breaking as he tended to put on a facade for most people except for his gang (who are also amazing). Even though Travis is cocky and self-assured, there are definite moments where he is really sweet and unsure of himself.

This is in comparison to Dylan who is really mysterious and has had to be strong in order to survive. We see her struggles with alcohol and painkillers so that she can sleep and you actually feel like you are there being a part of her struggle. It is also really sad reading how she came to be and how she struggles to have a relationship with Travis and then leave him.

The banter between the two characters was awesome as well as with the rest of the gang and there always seems to be a slow burn of sexiness going on between the characters. The sexy scenes between the two were hot and placed really well. It certainly was nice to see them getting a HEA after everything they had been though.

I would totally recommend this book if you like laughs, angst, friendships, suspense and sexy times in your books!

ARC received for a fair and honest review.
