review 1: I was fairly warned: it was a new adult romance, so I expected some juvenile things creeping in.Ms. Cox chose to write in the first person from the points of view of both main characters. That helped me understand their way of thinking because I was, after all, literally inside their heads. But writing from two different view points and making them both convincing is a challenging task.Harlow was a likeable girl. She thought a lot and her resolve and ideas wavered greatly (cue in the early warning of this being a new adult romance), but she certainly sounded like a girl. At a number of points throughout the novel I caught myself thinking, “Pfft, that’s too much.” but I tolerated it as the style of the novel.For me, a lot of the indecision and flashbacks could be trim... moremed.Marcus was likeable as well, but there were numerous places where I smiled and figured that those were woman-logic infused into a man’s mind. I knew that the author was female so I could be biased, but at least it was done quite well. I “could” believe that it was a guy.The sex scenes were hot. Indecisive girl who was obviously head over heels in love and lust over the man made a very sexy read.All in all, a good story. Emotional at some points, too sentimental for my taste, but convincing and an enjoyable read.3 out of 5 stars in my book.

You will also experience a roller coaster of emotions from feeling SCARED, SAD, SUSPENSEFUL, SHOCKED, TRAGEDY, RAGE, and TENDERNESS. Lie to Me is the first novel in the Redemption series, but Chloe Cox will not have us to waiting too long to find out what will happen next, because she is currently writing the second book in the series, the story of Brison Wolfe, Alex Wolfe’s son. I rate Chloe Cox’s novel in the Redemption series, Lie to Me – 5 AMAZING STARS! less
