Кълън Шарп и Айви Спелман
"Лъжи" в Читанка
Не съм сигурна какво да мисля. Че на всичкото отгоре почвам и да се нервя. Кълън се държи с Айви като с треторазредна порно звезда тип робиня. Дразня се от отношението му към нея. От грозния начин по който й говори. Няма нищо от типа секси порочни приказки.
А тя милата това й е първото увлечение и затова си търпи макар че и тя се усеща, че между тях нещата не са нормални. Дано сега като завъртат интригата с това, че видиш ли Кълън е убиец ще хване някакво развитие да има между двамата като двойка. Иначе урааа тоя път не я напляска. Вярно други неща направи дето... ама пак напредък

TRUTH, LIES AND CONSEQUENCES !!!
Wow! Lies is the fourth book in Kelly Favor's exciting new serial, The Billionaire's Rules and it totally rocks! This is my very first time reading Favor's work but I must say, I am impressed with what I've read so far. This is a serial folks so there will be multiple installments and dare I say it, cliffhangers. Yikes! Each installment is relatively short which makes them perfect for a quick break or lunchtime read. Although it's difficult to get a full sense of the book after only four chapters, I believe I may have a general idea of the direction the author intends to lead us. The journey begins with Ivy Spellman, a recent college graduate who has been hired as a data entry temp by Biomatrix Pharma, one of the largest and most prestigious drug companies in Boston. Out of her group, she has been singled out by the handsome CEO of the company, Cullen Sharpe who has for no apparent reason chosen her to bring him his coffee. Ivy had always been the shy, quiet, mousy student who always sat in front, kept her head down, took meticulous notes and got good grades. She has just recently finished school and has no real job experience other than working as a part time grocery clerk so this is her first real job. She has no idea why Mr. Sharpe has taken an unusual interest in her but she only hopes that it doesn't lead to her termination. It certainly couldn't be because of her good looks because she would never be beautiful enough to attract the attention of someone like handsome, wealthy Cullen Sharpe. Even her manager, Emma Marks, seems to immediately dislike her. What the heck? After Ivy spills a cup of scalding hot coffee in Mr Sharpe's lap, she is called to his office to discuss her failure of his assigned task and to Ivy's surprise, he offers her tutelage in the form of.......discipline. What? Mr Sharpe presents Ivy with a choice but what will she decide??? She decides to leave his office but immediately regrets her decision. Ivy's indecision and inexperience torment her as she tries to resume her work. She is invited to a nearby bar for a drink after work with Lucas and several other coworkers. There is an altercation at the bar involving a very tipsy Ivy and a group of very obnoxious male patrons. The only friend she seems to have among her co-workers is Lucas who unsuccessfully tries to rescue her from their unwelcome advances. But just who arrives in time to come to Ivy's rescue? Why, handsome, hunky Cullen Sharpe, of course! Apparently, the mysterious Mr. Sharpe is very attracted to lovely, young, inexperienced Ivy and wants to do more than just discipline her at work. He spirits her away to his apartment where he rejects her after learning she is a virgin. What the heck? Ivy leaves and is more determined than ever to stay away from the fickle Mr Sharpe but can he stay away from Ivy? Apparently not! He insists that she attend a company luncheon at a nearby venue where she quite literally bumps into Xavier Montrose, President of Vellum Pharmaceuticals, a direct competitor of her boss' company, Biomatrix. And Xavier asks her for a date! Oh my! Cullen Sharpe witnesses the exchange and is literally livid. Oh my glory! Cullen Sharpe may not want her but apparently he doesn't want anyone else to have Ivy either? What is wrong with that man? What will Ivy do? Will she defy her Boss, otherwise known as Sir as he's asked to be called, and accept a date with Xavier? I think not, at least not yet. Cullen Sharpe doesn't give her a chance. It looks as if the enigmatic Mr Sharpe can't stay away from Ivy and this time, he does the deed. That's right, Ivy is no longer a virgin! She spends the night with Cullen but when morning comes, he's back to his same old cruel, arrogant self telling her that she should stay away from her. What is this guy's problem? But when Xavier is waiting outside the Biomatrix building for Ivy the next day and whisks her away for lunch, Cullen is absolutely livid. He marches into the restaurant and demands that Ivy leave immediately and then.....No, no, no, I'll never tell. Why is Xavier Montrose so interested in Ivy and just what is he up to??? Is the email he sent Ivy real and why did he send it? Hmmm...... And what exactly was Lucas doing in Emma Mark's office at her computer and why is he watching Ivy so closely??? Could there be a little corporate espionage happening at Biomatrix or murder? Is Ivy's life in danger? I wonder??? No spoilers from me but I will say this..... Super sexy dominant boss who may have control issues and-check! Handsome charismatic competitor who seeks revenge-check! Beautiful, shy virgin who discovers that she loves to submit-check! Office politics, drama, secrets, domination, consequences, punishment, possible corporate espionage and maybe murder-check! Heated attraction, sexy seduction, fiery passion, steamy sex and agonizing angst-you bet! The story is smart, exciting, provocative, arousing, seductive and well written. The characters are captivating, engaging and sexy. The verdict is still out but so far so good. We'll see what happens in the next installment. Seriously sexy and definitely entertaining!

Ridiculous. The first clue we have as to who Cullen is comes from his rival Xavier .
Do not get me started on the coffee shop scene. Ivy goes from klutzy, naive, hapless virgin one day to BJ lessons on a washroom floor? I'm not new to the sex game, but there is absolutely no way I would be servicing some guy on my knees in a random washroom. Especially for the first time!! There was no mention of this washroom being sterilized. WTH?!
That Lucas co-worker has seemed suspect from book 1. I want to see how he plays into the secrets surrounding Cullen. I wish Daisy luck in the upcoming books because she seems to be really falling for this man, albeit a little bit too quickly. How do these heroines fall in love with men they don't know?

Throughout the whole series, I've always thought "sounds fake but ok" and this one in the series is literally that thought over and over again.
Cullen, Cullen, Cullen. Why are you such an ass? You literally have no reason to be an ass! Stop telling Ivy what to do! She was a virgin! She doesn't know your BDSM thoughts. And come to think of it, Ivy! Can you please let your needs and thoughts to heard!? I mean yes, you think "well, what about me?" "I want to be included" "I need to know things" etc. etc. But if you don't stand your ground and actually let Cullen finally understand he's an ass, you're going nowhere bud.
After reading this book, I'm not sure if I'm going to binge read the next. I think I need a break to cool down. Cullen's pissing me off.

This book in the series was pretty hot in a possessive, primal, raunchy sort of way. Earlier in the series she was talking about being basically a wall flower to becoming the tug of war rope between two billionaires. Very unrealistic, to quote my husband " why do they all have to be unreachable powerful men that in reality there is no way i'd even meet one let alone be chosen randomly at a stupid temp job. I guess this is why this is fantasy and fiction, sigh... I'm ranting again. Great raunchy sex scene in a cafe bathroom in this one. Loved it!

Ivy is totally confused with Cullen and others telling her so many contradictory things about Cullen. Then Lucas, her co-worker turns out to be undercover FBI and wants her help working against Cullen. Lies ends with another cliffhanger but for me this is the end of the series as only the first four episodes were included in the anthology I purchased. I find 30 or so pages in a long drawn out story of episodes a waste of my time and money. The Billionaire's Rules Series was good as far as I read but not good enough to go on at the price demanded.

What is Mr. Sharpe hiding? Does everyone have something against him or are they just seeing part of the picture? Lies brings more questions than answers to Olivia. What will she do with all this information? Will she talk to Mr. Sharpe about all of it or keep it to herself?

I dont think ill be continuing this series. Its so much crap i swear, the author just split a whole book or two into 10-14 parts, and sold it for 1$. How is that sane? Like a book for each chapter..and crap too

Well what a turn that was. It went from crazy explosive to mysterious and crazy in less than 60 seconds. I wanted what the other temp is talking about. Keep reading to find out
