Lisa Jackson is the number-one New York Times bestselling author of over ninety-five novels, including the Rick Bentz and Reuben Montoya Series, the Pescoli and Alvarez Series, the Savannah series, and numerous stand alone novels. She also is the co-author of One Last Breath, Last Girl Standing, and the Colony Series, written with her sister and bestselling author Nancy Bush, as well as the collaborative novels Sinister and Ominous, written with Nancy Bush and Rosalind Noonan. There are over thirty million copies of her novels in print and her writing has been translated into twenty languages.

Before she became a nationally bestselling author, she was a mother struggling to keep food on the table by writing novels, hoping against hope that someone would pay her for them. Today, neck deep in murder, her books appear on The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly national bestseller lists.

With dozens of bestsellers to her name, Lisa Jackson is a master of taking readers to the edge of sanity—and back—in novels that buzz with dangerous secrets and deadly passions. She continues to be fascinated by the minds and motives of both her killers and their pursuers—the personal, the professional, and the downright twisted. As she builds the puzzle of relationships, actions, clues, lies, and personal histories that haunt her protagonists, she must also confront the fear and terror faced by her victims and the harsh and enduring truth that, in the real world, terror and madness touch far too many lives and families.

She is one of the weakest h’s I have ever seen in a HP.

He has betrayed her trust 5 years ago. He then left. Now he comes back and she acts all tough to her brother that she would wait for the H with a gun.

Nothing of that. She is just a push-over who lays down for him as soon as she sees him again. I have no respect for her. A big mouth but nothing when it comes to action.

This isn’t even a romance novel. This is some sort of bad crime novel.

This is one of the single worst books I have yet read in my life.I have passed it on to friends as a joke and also as an example of misogyny in action. It starts off horribly and never improves. Spare yourself, unless you LIKE misery.

The funniest/ saddest scene, the office where she tells him to leave more than 10 times. This book is just..Crap.

Ms Jackson needs a better proofreader - multiple continuity errors. I don't think Jeeps have teleportation powers yet. Just saying.

This is a Goodreads win. It has been 5 years since Trask McFadden had betrayed Tory's trust that lead to her father going to prison, where he died. Now Trask is back in town and stirring up all the old scandals. Even worse, Trask wants Tory to help him find out if there was someone else involved with his brothers death and the quarter horse swindle. Tory tries to refuse to help because she doesnt want to put her heart on the line again. Also, if the past is dug up it could be the last of the ranch, she and Keith, her brother, have worked so hard to save. Then things start happening that lead her to believe that Trask maybe right. As she and Trask dig deeper things start getting more dangerous and it looks like maybe her father wasn't guilty after all. The ending has some twists and a few surprises. Fast paced and well worth the read

Not a fan. Typos - at one point the character raised his “bands” (hands). Continuity errors - at the very end, the Blazer teleports from the SILs house to the hospital. Trask is a narcissistic piece of trash. Tory is spineless. The number of times she says no, only to get naked and “give into lust” is sickening and the way that he doesn’t take no for an answer is grounds for sexual assault, IMO. And the back and forth in their relationship is so overbearing that the actual plot of finding the truth is lost. Every few pages is just more dialogue about blame for what happened to Tory’s dad. We get it. Trask testified, Dad didn’t argue his innocence then died in jail, Trask blames Dad, Tory and Keith blame Trask. Over and over. Would not recommend.

A waste of my time. This book was flawed on all levels: the story line was lame, the characters were not only unlikeable, but their actions and rhetoric weren't realistic. To be truthful, I actually hated them, especially the main female protagonoist. So often I wanted to smack her, her personality, actions/reactions and motivations were so far fetched and ridiculous - completely unbelievable.
The gratuitous sex scenes were so predictable as to be boring.
I wasted my time reading this crap so you don't have to

The story was good, but I find it rather hard to like the Tory because she was so wishy-washy about her feelings and how to handle the situation. It could be argued that I've never really fallen head over heels for someone, that I don't get her; however, I don't think I could so easily fall into the arms of a man, no matter how hot or how I felt about him in the past, who I blame for putting my father in jail. Tory should have been a stronger character.

This was not at all up to the standards of Lisa Jackson. The main characters were highly unlikable, the man was a misogynistic and inflexible character who had no character Growth at all. The female was a pushover who forgave over and over again even though the mail Never took any responsibility for the hell he put her through for his own self involved reasons. It’s more than that this book did not age well, it was never very good all along.

Yesterday's Lies is a great romantic suspense story. After 5 years, Senator McFadden is back home to figure out the missing person who killed his brother. Ge also wants to reunite with the only woman he could love, Tory, but she hates him still.

The story had potential but both the main characters were really unbearable, and the ending was such a disappointment.

I don't know why I put myself through this torture. Genuinely one of the worst books I have ever read. I'm trying to find something redeemable and failing.
