Kristian, my heart bled for him, wanting something he clearly couldnt have. Justin seemed like the perfect boyfriend for Emily.

But then theres the betrayal Which you will have to read the book to find out who the betrayer was! This book was so intense i was actually sitting on the edge of my seat, i really thought i had it worked out but i was so shocked, yet looking now i should of known because that character was more in the background! I think the author did a great job of keeping me in suspense, and having me think it was the obvious and completely throwing me off the real betrayer. I really enjoyed this book and couldnt turn the pages fast enough, it blew my mind how good it was, i will certainly be reading more books by L.

She studied, she hangs out with friends. After getting out of a long distance relationship, she meets Alec Holden, her gorgeous neighbor from downstairs, and sparks fly. He is a mystery to her and she isn't sure exactly where he fits into her life. But she knows she wants him in it. This was a really great story.

There is a bit of everything, romance and a lot of suspense. It really kept me guessing. The characters are well developed and the story flows nicely. It was a fast, easy read for me. I could not put it down until I reached the last page. A lot of stories like this, you guess the whodunit pretty early on.

Not so with this one. It ended witha twist I really did not expect.

Arc in exchange for honest review I really enjoyed this book and characters simply amazing. This isn't the first book by this author I have read and won't be the last. Sep 16, S. Benson rated it it was amazing. I was totally wrong on how this would end. It was the first book by L. Won't be my last! This book would be a great movie! LP Dover did it again. All her books are intriguing and take you on a ride, especially Love Lies and Deception. While Marissa is bringing her bags down from her apartment she slips on a step and literally lands in the arms of her mysterious neighbor Alec.

Mari This book would be a great movie! Marissa finds hers body reacting to him and she keeps getting lost in his beautiful blue eyes and constantly catches herself staring at his luscious lips as they are introducing themselves. After she comes back from her trip she runs into Alec again and he invites her over for dinner yes ladies Alec cooks. From then on the story tells of them getting to know each other and their relationship becoming intense and passionate, something Marissa never experienced with her sex.

Along the way, Alec reveals his dark past to Marissa hoping she will stay because that is not who he is any longer. Meanwhile, Marissa is trying to keep ahold of her friendship with her best friend Kristian, and not believing what Alec sees, that Kristian maybe in love with her. How easy it is for someone to weasel their way into your life without you realizing their ulterior motive.

Love, Lies, and Deception kept me intrigued the whole entire book from the steamy sex scenes to the t testosterone stand offs between Alec and Kristian, the love and friendship between Kristian, Emily, Marissa, and Justin, to the ultimate danger the two main characters began to face. Not a dull moment in this book whatsoever. Marissa was the girl that had goals and dreams and set a very strict course for herself in order to achieve her goals in life. She was the college student that excelled exceptionally well in school and was always on top of her books. She had fun, but it was just a bit of fun, never overboard where it interfered with her classes.

She once had a wild side, but that all but went away when she was dating her douche bag of a boyfriend Jason. Alec was the mysterious neighbor that Marissa was always aware of, but never talked to until the day she was leaving for Spring Break. She would make it a point to spy on him through her apartment window whenever he was coming back from his morning run. Always wondering what was his story. His past consist of some poor decisions and consequences that resulted from his bad decision-making.

However, moving away from that life was his way of starting over and keeping out of trouble. Plus he got pretty jealous quickly after they had only shared one night together and that in my mind put some red flags up. Kristian is the best guy friend any female would want their life.

He is pretty much perfect. Protective, thoughtful, a great listener, gave great advice, strong, brave, good looking, easy going, selfless, and always there for you no matter what. I envied Marissa for having that type of relationship with Kristian. Those types of relationships are few and far between. The sex scenes let me just say read them slow and savior them because they are extremely hot!

I would really love to see this book as a movie one day! I think it would be great if the right actors and actresses were cast in the roles and it was done right without skipping parts in the book. Nothing in this book should be skipped over. I would really like to see a sequel to this wonderful book. I may have to read it a couple times and wish each time that a sequel will follow. Oct 21, Future Slayer Girl rated it liked it Shelves: This is one of those stories that is really hard for me to rate and put into words totally what went wrong.

I think it honestly was a series of mishaps through the book that tore me out of the stories, made me rant for a few moments, and then I dove back in because it was very similar to a Meth habit if I am being honest. The story in itself, taking out character and social oopsies, has a really strong back bone. I LOVE stories like this.

Where something happened in someones past and someone is This is one of those stories that is really hard for me to rate and put into words totally what went wrong. Where something happened in someones past and someone is desperate for retribution. It works, and if weaved well the story will just carry all on its own. I was thrust into the world and felt like I was traveling along with all these incredible dull characters. But I didn't care, because I wanted to know what the heck was going on.

That is a really great thing for a reader, and a terrible thing at the same time. On one hand I was keeping up to pace and enjoying each page turn. Yet, I could not for the life of me enjoy the lead female character Marissa. I had no empathy for her at all. She was such a terrible person, that I didn't care what was in her past or how she got to her future just that I felt that telling a story about such a horribly superficial female was a bad move in a story where her life was at risk because I spent the whole time more worried about Alec than anything else.

An epidemic I call, slut shamming, and girl on girl hate. Just because a chick approaches your boy friend she is not one of those things because unless the dude has a wedding ring on--how does anyone know. It drove me nuts every time she saw another female in a short skirt she was spew out one of these words. It made her seem insecure. I just don't act that way--I tell other women they look hot when, well they do.

Marissa is very fickle. Her trust issues are so enormous that one little thing sends her running away and doing the exact thing that she trashes on other women for doing. It made my brain ache with how simple minded she was. She had such huge potential to overcome all these character flaws, but she just takes a back seat and allows herself to be weak, forgettable, and too stupid to live. I did enjoy the other characters, which was odd. Her best friend had flare and sort of lit up the pages she was featured in.

Her boyfriend was cheeky and had some good lines. I think I like Kristain the best even if he was a little pathetic in the end, he came through for me as a character and a full circle evolution took place with him. He surpassed Alec for me as a character and I think he redeemed himself fully, and yet he got slighted a proper ending. This book was entertaining. I mean I couldn't put it down. The sex was hot, the story had a great ebb and flow--it is just a shame that the character that was supposed to take us on the journey didn't connect with me as a reader.

I would love to read more of L. She is a great story-teller! Aug 06, Meganm rated it really liked it. Love, Lies, and Deception was a fast paced, enjoyable New Adult Romance with elements of suspense and mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters were likeable immediately and the thrilling plot was unpredictable. A few of my fellow book bloggers rave about L. I loved Maris Love, Lies, and Deception was a fast paced, enjoyable New Adult Romance with elements of suspense and mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved Marissa right away and connected with her and her group of friends.

She was a very relaxed girl, smart, able to have fun, but also completely motivated. I loved the dynamic between her group and how they all felt comfortable with each other. I immediately felt like Emily, Justin, and Kristian cared about her. When Marissa literally ran into her gorgeous neighbor, Alec, I knew things were about to get complicated for her. I loved their dynamic immediately. He was so different from her first impression and they both had some sort of attraction for each other long before the actual run in, which I thought was nice. He was such a down to earth character and I felt like Marissa was more herself when she was with him.

Even though their relationship bloomed pretty quickly, the author convinced me of their connection and made me like both of them together a lot. Alec had a lot of secrets and a wild past. Her friends started to act a little weird, too. I liked not really knowing who I could trust, whether the threat was from a complete stranger or a friend.

It was a suspenseful ride. I liked the way the plot shifted a bit from being more like a New Adult Contemporary Romance to being similar to many Romantic Suspense novels I used to devour. I liked the mix and the added element of danger. I definitely recommend Love, Lies, and Deception. I thought it was well written and unpredictable, with characters I think people can really relate to. I will read more novels from L. Dover in the future, too. Jul 18, Shelley Bella rated it it was amazing Shelves: Where do I begin? This story was so much more than I expected and it is quite aptly named.

From the get-go, L. She captured me with lovable and intriguing characters. More than one immensely swoon-worthy male can't go wrong there. A crazy intense storyline. And probably one of the biggest twists I've ever read. I never guessed the Fan-freaking-tastic. I never guessed the ending.

Oh, I had my suspicions and speculations. And I was SO wrong. The level of deceit was unimaginable and absurdly brilliant. Not by a long shot. There were solid and enviable friendships. The day to day living amongst this close knit group of friends was fun and exciting. The banter playful and endearing. One couldn't ask for more reliable, giving, and loving companions. From afar it seems like a perfect life.

And looks can be The driving force of the story is the increased intensity and boldness of Marissa's perceived stalker. Things keep happening that can't be explained. Her friends fear for her safety and their livelihood. And her male counterparts are concerned over her growing attraction to Alec, the hunk downstairs. But when Marissa gives in to her attraction to Alec, sees his possessive and obsessive side, she can't help but wonder if her trust in him is misguided.

I can't give anything away, but I fell hard and fast for Alec. He's my new book boyfriend. It was easy to see why Marissa was so drawn to him. He was gorgeous, strong, charismatic. And a mean cook. But as their passion heightens, so does the danger. Tensions rise between best friends and lovers. The ties of loyalty, trust and faith are blurred. And Marissa finds herself in the middle of a very deadly game of cat and mouse. Love Lies and Deception kept me enraptured and on the edge of my seat. I wanted nothing more than for Marissa and Alec's relationship to blossom, despite Marissa's apprehension.

Her doubts and plans to move upon graduation plagued us both. I wanted Alec to be a good guy.
