lies

This is the first novel I've read by this author.  I thought the blurb on the book sounded good.  Reed dumps Gabby because he wants to protect her from his sometimes dangerous life.  But he does this in public and on the night that Gabby had decided to seduce him.  Then Reed finds out that he still needs Gabby to complete his mission.  He now needs to make amends to her and get back in her go

He was her first lover.  Then her best friend claimed he got her pregnant.  The heroine fled town at the news her lover had cheated on her and got someone else pregnant.  She accepted money from his father as a bribe to leave, but she had planned to leave anyway, the money was no incentive!  It just made it easier for her to start again.  Many many years later they meet again.  She needs a job / money because she made a foolish business deal with her then-lover/partner and is in debt. 

They come together with good passion and a destined sense of love for each other.  It's a little convenient that we are left to assume now that the heroine hooks up with the hero, her financial problems will magically disappear.  But it was a feel good read. 

Rating: 3/5 stars, a little convenient, I was sad at the wasted years because of the misunderstanding/lies.

The dating scene can be deadly, there are three bodies to prove it!

3 ½ Stars! ~~~ A web of lies nearly keeps these two wounded lovers apart.
