Jim "Liar" Huntley's loyalty to the Riot MC brotherhood is unquestionable. Especially since before becoming a fully-patched member, he killed a man to protect a brother. When a favor to another brother forces him to meet Andrea Paglia, he knows she's out of his league. Making matters worse, she is off-limits because she's old friends with the President's old lady. Weeks later, Liar notices his brothers ogling Andrea at a club party, and he cannot restrain his anger.

Andrea falls in lust with Liar the moment he walks into her massage studio. She senses Liar restraining himself around her, but she's determined to go after the man she wants. For once, she grabs what she wants from life. Conflict arises when former co-workers implore her to lend them a hand during the holidays. Forced to tell Liar about her past, she uncovers another facet to her alpha biker. 

Little does Andrea know, she's being used as a pawn in a larger scheme to bring down the Riot MC. Liar believes Andrea deceived him and will not be betrayed twice. The perceived deception tears Liar and Andrea apart while also forcing a rift between the Riot MC brothers.

Liar discovers he was wrong, and struggles between guarding his heart and asserting his love for her. Will he be able to claim her as his own?

We are really loving this series, and we really loved Liar and Andrea's story.

I have to say that this author has created a great cast of character's for us to fall in love with, and we love the MC character's old ladies even more.

Andrea is a bit of a free spirit who believes in saving the planet but, she also is loving and caring and has this vibrant personality who made us laugh and chuckle throughout this entire story but, she is also the kind of girl who speaks her mind and is very independent.

Liar is a bit of a mystery but, I love how much he loves is grandmother and how tight he is with his family but, he is a restless soul who has been hurt in the past and is not wanting to trust and believe that someone who would want to be with him because he doesn't believe he is good enough for anyone let alone Andrea the women he is falling for.

Lair and Andrea had some major chemistry going on, and their sexual interludes were super hot. The story was filled with a bit of suspense and romance and laughter, and we thoroughly enjoyed it to the very end.

I will say that I was disappointed with Lair and his club at their treatment of Andrea later on the story because not one soul believed in her innocence except Roll and not one person took into consideration that she was a kind and loving genuine women not a fake and her daily life and actions spoke of who she was, and then you had Volt more vicious than the rest "did", he never took into consideration that his wife had a seven-year friendship with this woman, and she would know her better than anyone else and her word should stand for something ?

"The whole club just pissed me right off !"

Overall we loved it as it was really a fun read, and we are so looking forward to the next in this series.

"Keep lookin' at me like that, and I'll haul you to my bike and give you something you can really drool over."

My eyes narrowed, and I snapped, "Thanks for supporting my wishes. I'm sure I could have attained the same result with organic oil and not have used an aerosol can while I was at it either."

"Don't know. But you wouldn't have attained the same result without herniating a disk or pulling a muscle at the very least."

"Whatever. Don't see how that should matter to you."

A sinister smile crossed his lips. "Matters to me because you're gonna be in my bed."

So audacious, this guy!

"Well, that flies in the face of what you said when you followed me out here."

He considered me briefly. "That's because Natasha wasn't the only one who was wrong. I was wrong too."

"About what?"

"You."

"Me?"

"Yep."

I was supremely confused. "So, you didn't or don't like me?"

"You just fishin' for another kiss? Or did you really not get the message the first time?"

"I got the message, but I also heard you say me bein' in your bed was not gonna happen."

"And that's what I was wrong about."

Seriously, the audacity. "Oh no. You had it quite right. I'm not gonna be in your bed."

"Yeah. You are. See, what I was most wrong about was that you're out of my league. You hangin' with my brothers. Blatantly flirting with Beast− which pissed me off when you got here−but it also gave me a hint, I misjudged you. That kiss though sealed the deal. You're a fuckin' dream come true, and I'm comin' after you."
