Good morning! Today I’m reviewing Convenient Lies by Robin Patchen and let me tell you, don’t start this book thinking you’ll read a couple of chapters and lay it down and go to sleep. No siree. I started it at 8 p.m. and at 11:30, I’m thinking, I really need to go to sleep…just one more chapter…and that turned into The End at 12:40 a.m. So be warned. lol

Here’s the back cover copy:

She married her enemy… 

When investigative journalist Reagan McAdams discovers her new husband is part of an international crime family, she flees Paris with their newborn and returns to her childhood home in New Hampshire to gather enough money to disappear forever. She’ll do whatever it takes to protect her son from his criminal father.

He never quit loving her. 

Rae’s first love, Brady Thomas, discovers she’s home and in trouble. She won’t tell him what’s going on, but he’s a detective. He’ll figure it out. He’s going to protect her and her son, whether she wants his help or not.

Her enemy nears.

Rae would love nothing more than to fall into Brady’s arms, to allow him to protect her and her son, but getting involved with him will only put Brady on harm’s way. When Rae’s husband closes in, she has to decide what—and whom—she’ll sacrifice to save her son.

My take:

Convenient Lies drew me in immediately. The book opened with Reagan McAdams taking her twelve-day-old baby and fleeing her husband. I had to find out why. Then I had to find out if she would escape his reach. And how Tom Brady (no, not that Tom Brady) would help her. And why did she run away from Tom in the first place? He was her one true love. Robin answers those questions and more in this taut, fast-paced suspense. Oh, and there’s a search for gold coins that figures into the story. This was my first Robin Patchen book, but it won’t be my last. In fact, I already have Twisted Lies downloaded.

Robin and I would both appreciate a tweet if you have time!

To be entered in a drawing for a book from my library, leave a comment. Just say hi, or tell me if you’ve read any of Robin’s books. Oh, and if you want a free book from Robin, sign up for her newsletter!

    It’s a great book. I already own several of her books but, unfortunately, am way behind on my reading. I keep downloading too many books.

    Pat, I have read that series as well as the first two books of her new series, Beauty in Flight. I downloaded an ARC of the third book today. The second book is due out in less than three weeks and the third is due in early April. You can just keep on reading Robin Patchen novels. I have enjoyed them all.

    I love her books! I grew up about 20 minutes from the town where the story takes place, which gives it even more meaning for me.
