Pants on Fire is written by J.A. Coffey and is book 2 in the Southern Seductions series. This novel features the main characters of Chase and Suze. Suze is the best friend of the character Jessica from Liar, Liar (The first novel in the series).
Chase is the “golden boy,” an All-American football hero, until an injury puts him off the team for good. Now, he has returned to his hometown of Atlanta and hopes to cross paths with the one girl that he walked away from: Suzanne Collier.
Suze is a rising debutante in the charity arena. She comes from money, and her goal is to make a dent in the charity business as an event coordinator and secure her future as such. At one such event, she finds herself face to face with the one man who caused her to harden her heart against all others: Chase Weston.
Chase’s true drive is to help children in athletic programs and to do that; he needs Suze's help to get him in the right direction for council approval. However, his ulterior motives and feelings from his past may get in his way. Suze wants to go for the revenge sex to get Chase out of her system for good, but she finds that working together on a professional level isn’t nearly as bad as she anticipated.
As far as the writing is concerned, I felt that I could relate a lot more to Jessica from book 1 than to Suze. Suze and Chase both seem to want for nothing in the realm of money, and both are avid game players in love.
Coffey has written realistic characters, and their tension is palpable on the pages. I still felt that there was more heat and passion between Jessica and Mateo in book one, and this book didn’t quite match the action. Overall, it was still an enjoyable pleasure to read, and I highly recommend it.
5/5 stars. A great pleasure novel for a light read, with a big of life distress. I am definitely interested in checking out the third installment of the series “Hell on Heels,” which was released this year. If you enjoy reading fiction, romance, chick-lit, contemporary, erotica, etc., then you should definitely check out Pants on Fire!

I was given this book to review by the author having reviewed book one Liar Liar.
I enjoyed this book and was it had a easy to read plot.
Thr one that got away but he is very much coming back to get her......Chase is a studd but has a great hidden depth to him that not alot of people see.
Suzanne I found to be abit unreasonable at times and very indecisive but I think thats because if her upbringing etc in the end though I did warm to her.
I have to admit although I enjoyed the book, I did fibd it very similar to other books ive read and predictable at times.
I would like to thank the author for the opportunity to read the book.

This story has the potential to be an amazing "second chance at love" tale.
