Bear is continuing his two months search for the mysterious Mr. Reagan. Along the way he meets Lisa, a CIA agent working outside her agency to find te same man. Meanwhile, Mandy is hidden in a private school where she hears and notices actions that don’t seem right. Like her father, she can’t let it go, and gets herself in trouble. She learns the hard way that she has to be careful. ENJOY!

Between the Lies is packed full of action as Mandy begins to express herself - like Bear
If I could be someone else, I think I think I would pick Bear. As I read Between the Lies, I kept seeing the actor playing Reacher! Since I would qualify as playing Bear only in my mind, I recommend Alan Ritchson. No, I couldn't even play Mandy in Book 5. Mandy has grown up and picked up quite a few skills from Daddy Bear. If you've been reading the excellent books by L.T. Ryan's & K.M. Rought, you are going to really enjoy this action filled entry into the Bear & Mandy Logan series. You will never read a bad book if L.T. Ryan's name is on the cover. -Mr.Bill

I’m torn — a lot of this book is exciting and page-turning, and K.M. Rought’s writing is stronger than ever.
However, the mechanics of the Mr. Reagan plot didn’t really land for me. Not only did I feel disconnected from the reveal due to my only having read THIS particular series from L.T. Ryan, but I also feel like the “why” of everything fell flat. That and the thought processes of narrowing down who all of the players were felt like they had gaping holes. (That or the details were there, but they were so connected to previous stories that I just glossed over them.)
I was so excited for how everything was building but parts of the story itself left me cold.

Another good one. But…I had trouble keeping everyone straight. Names/people seemed to crop up that previously hadn’t been in the picture and not always clear who they were, what was their purpose. The unraveling of the plot seemed somewhat insignificant compared to the incredible build up leading to it. There was less of Bear also which was a real shame. However the split of him and Mandy in boarding school each working toward solving the plot was an interesting twist. Unfortunately we missed the reunion of the two of them after all was over. That would have somewhat made up for the lack of interaction between the 2 of them.

Between the Lies
Book 5 named Between the Lies, starts out with a continuation of the relationship between Iris and Bear. This is a very interesting and exciting book that bounces between Mandy and school and her extracurricular activities and what Bear is doing with iris. And neither bear or Mandy realize how quickly what they’re both searching for is tied together. The story has a lot of twist turns and suspension. I was not ready for the book again but now I am looking forward to the next book. This is a good read and I definitely recommend it.

Hard work!
With Iris DuVall working side by side with "Bear" Logan one would think it would be an easy mission. But when Mandy, miles away in school, ends up suspecting some parents are up to no good...chaos erupts. Are Mandy and her friends safe? Are Bear and Iris going to be captured or killed? Are Brandon and Marcus able to help? Read it and find out! One of L T Ryan's best so far!

Another great tale!
L T Ryan can always tell a good story and now he has a young girl working with one of his usual tough men. He keeps you on the edge of your chair as the story unfolds. He also includes some other kids in the book which is great as they help save the world (I’m not telling which part) from distraction. Looking forward to the next Mandy and Bear book and hope it includes some of the other characters!

This Adventure Had Me On The Edge Of My Seat Throughout!
I always love a new Bear & Mandy book! None before this one ever disappointed and this one was even more exciting than all the others! I wish I had not read this one so fast and had slowed down to savour it all a little longer, but I just couldn't stop reading until the end.
EXCELLENT!
Now I have to wait months and months for Book 6 in this awesome, exciting series!

Father and Daughter Duo
Although miles apart Bear and Mandy end up working on the same job. Bear is working with Iris to find Mr Reagan while Mandy is at a private school for safety. Meanwhile Mandy senses something isn't right and starts snooping around. Two friends, Marcus, his uncle and Mandy uncover a connection at the school with Mr Reagan. A must read. Great job. Thank you.

Action-packed, fast-paced, suspenseful thriller!
L.T. Ryan and K.M. Rought expertly write another amazing winner! I couldn't put this book down because I wanted to see what was going to happen next. Mandy is in a private school and discovers a plot some parents are planning. Bear and Iris are actively looking for Mr. Reagan and weapons that were stolen. You do not want to miss reading this book. It is excellent! Happy reading! 😊

Split Responsibility
Bear and Mandy do not disappoint. They work their latest case from two sides. We see Mandy and her friends researching and coming up with shocking answers, and Bear works with Iris to uncover one of the worst villains ever. Even old friends are reunited in a story with many twists and surprises. LT Ryan does not disappoint! A great read that you can barely put down and leaves you wanting more.

Between the Lies
Bear and Mandy are in the thick of it again. Brandon happens to be Marcus's uncle so when Mandy calls Marcus for help, Brandon gets involved. Bear is working with the FBI, CIA and NSA and between Mandy's info and Bear's info Brandon puts it all together to save the day. Love this storyteller and his storyline.

This was an excellent chapter in the Bear and Mandy series. Bear and Iris worked well together to take Reagan down. And Mandy , Marcus and her friends at school also helped immensely. Then Marcus uncle Brad got involved everything came together to take down Reagan. Unfortunately Iris didn't make it and Thorne got what he deserved. 10 stars plus !!!! Thanks, Carl Clause

These adventures never get old.
I always say this is the best one ever, with every one I read. This one was the best! I never had it figured out. Usually, I could get a sense of who Mr. Reagan might be. Not this time. Thrilled for Marcus. Sad for so many. Saved the world again Bear! Loved it.

Did not disappoint!
I waited so long for this book my fave daddy/daughter team and it didn't disappoint! Mandy and her adventurous nature always leaves me feeling warm and excited about what she's gonna get into next. I was kinda sad how Iris' story ended but another case solved. I loved how Marcus' uncle was introduced as well as Raine. Looking forward to the next book!

Best One Yet
I keep thinking each book can’t possibly be better than the last, but this one blew me away. I literally could not put it down. Give yourself a day or two with little else to do before you start it!

A Fun Look Back
An excellent, quick read. Loved allmof the twists and turns, although you do need to know a good bit about Bear to get everything going on. Thanks for another great read!

Did anyone keep count
How many bad guys and good guys were killed, either by broken necks or gunshots. Wow, not stop violence. I think I prefer the Ben Porter series on Kindle Unlimited.

Great plot!
If you want a story that keeps you guessing, this one is for you. So many people who can't be trusted and Bear, with Mandy, are in the crosshairs of some powerful people. This is a thriller you won't want to put down!

L.T. Does it again
Another great read the storyline, the events and everything that goes into these books. There’s nothing less than spectacular. It’s so good there’s points that you think the person’s actually real are they not?

heart pounding
NOW THIS is the L.T writing I fell in love with at the start of the Nobel series and with this being a Bear standalone novel makes it that much better. Grab your copy block out a few days and dig in!

Love Bear and Mandy
Every time I read another book in this series the story keeps getting better than the last one. It's not like some books that you have to read a few chapters to get interested in, this one is interesting from the first few pages .

Spellbinding twists and turns.
It starts slow, losing my interest along the way. Then, like a jaguar, it leaps off of the page and causes you to devour the pages as quickly as possible.

Book 5 in the series
Mandy is enrolled at a private school while Bear helps Iris and the FBI track down Mr. Reagan. Things are not as they seem and the hunt turns nasty. A great story.

Team Logan Rocks
Another winner from K.M. and L.T., and a good wrap-up to a thread that’s spanned a few books. Typical great plot, pace, and characters; I especially liked how the “kids” have grown up even more and played a good part of the book. Have already pre-ordered Book 6.

Always a good story
Always a good story full of twists & turns but I’m getting tired of Mandy doing stupid stuff, getting caught & endangering their lives. Hope the kid wises up soon.
