FAVORITE QUOTES:

I want to be more like her. I want to listen to her laugh and have had something to do with it. I love her completely. She returns the love wildly. this love is worth the unsaid truths. The hidden lies. - Brant Sharp

The taste of his [Lee] skin one of sweat and salt, heat and man. Dirt and want. A far cry from the cologne and dignity of which I was accustomed. Layana

When you really love someone you cannot walk away. No matter what they do. No matter the lies from their mouth, or the action form their bodies, you ties yourself tightly to their sail and vocw to be there through thick and think. Let the wind blow you where it may. Eveni f that place is a crash. Even if that place tears you apart and kills anything good. -Brant

Yes, you have NOT heard or read of this story before... maybe... but before you jump into any conclusions and decide to skip this because of the blurb and hints of cheating, let me assure you that there is NO cheating in BLACK LIES. It's a little spoilery for me to say that but I know some of you won't read any book that sensationalize or even justifies cheating so I'm telling you now that Layana Fairmont is no cheating whore. The story IS quite complicated and it's the riddle/mystery that is Brant and Lee that will have you turning the pages and devouring BLACK LIES in a day because that's what happened to me. 

This is a love story, but not one that is easy to read.

One thing that about Alessandra Torre's books is its darkness. She gives you these dysfunctional romances that will shove you out of your comfy and padded HEA-shaped love stories and instead gives you darker versions of what it's like to fall in love with a very imperfect person. BLACK LIES had me asking myself so many times What would I do if I find myself in Layana Fairmont's position, madly in love with a man like Brant Sharp?. Because in a nutshell, BLACK LIES is a demonstration of what a woman would do for the man she loves and let me tell you, Layana crossed boundaries and removed multiple lines. It's quite romantic really but the thoughtfulness and passion of it all won't hit you until you're close to the end. 

So what is BLACK LIES is it's not a story about cheating? And what the fluck is up with Brant and Lee? 

I can't answer the second question because it'll spoil the hook of the story. BLACK LIES outside the romance is a well concocted mystery. You have a bored heiress, itching to break free from the dictates of her parents and society who happens to fall in love with a genius, self-made, billionaire technocrat. The first bait is Brant's family has counseled, and even tried to buy off Layana, to stay away from him. You'd think it's some rich folk intrigue where they're protecting their money from gold diggers. But as the story goes on, we get hints that it's not about the money rather there's something about Brant that's dark and possibly evil and pulling them apart is for Layana's safety. 

But like a moth to a flame, Layana is in deep and very much in love with Brant and all the nay saying is fueling that passion to greater heights. She developed a kind of love that is scary because it's insatiable, consuming, and so encompassing that Layana lost herself in it. At some point it felt like a game of chess because in some ways it is, to be involved with a man like Brant Sharp one has to be cunning, calculating, and willing to sacrifice or risk it all. 

As for Lee. He is the wild card and he will surprise you in more ways than one. He is the opposite of the sleek, charming, and magnetic Brant. Lee is rough, possessive, and fire. But again, before you make any judgment calls, it's NOT what you think. You'll just HAVE to read BLACK LIES and figure it out for yourself.
