The Reed Rivers Trilogy #3
Beloved Liar
Secrets have now been revealed . . . lies uncovered . . . and stubborn walls broken down. Reed always says everyone’s got a price . . . It’s been his mantra for as long as he’s had money in the bank. And now, he’s desperately trying to figure out Georgina’s before it’s too late.
The scorching-hot love story of Reed and Georgina began as a simple game of cat and mouse, a game of seduction between a music mogul and a young, aspiring journalist. In the beginning, both sides considered themselves the hunter. Both sides thought they were running the game. But what unfolded between them was an unexpected bond neither of them saw coming. A once-in-a-lifetime soul connection. Unfortunately, though, betrayals and lies have come between them now, leaving two hearts on the brink of total decimation . . .
Will the truth finally set Reed and Georgina free to find the happiness they both so desperately desire . . . or have they lost their chance at love forever?
BELOVED LIAR is the third book of the standalone REED RIVERS TRILOGY. The full trilogy is BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR, to be read in order.

5 stars for Beloved Liar!!
Holy book hangover! I’m so sad that this is over, but boy is my heart overflowing with feels.
It’s a good thing I’m not the Prince Charming type because Reed Rivers is in a box of his own making. Gah, I love this man! I love when a character has Layers. When you peel back the layers of a person that you previously judged as this, and you find out he really isn’t that at all, and the reason why he or she wears the particular facade. That would be Reed Rivers. I knew from the first mention of him way back that his story would be truly special. This book had everything that I look for in a read!! Lust, instant chemistry, smokin hot scenes, drama, angst, secrets and lies, a little bit of suspense, and LOVE!
Reed & Georgie are going down in the history books of book couples for me! Lauren went above and beyond everything that this Fangirl could ever imagine. She has amazing talent, and I will follow her work wherever it/she goes. I’m feeling the loss of this trilogy in a major way.

I just finished this masterpiece moments ago, and I am just in awe of this incredible lady's talent. I've been quite vocal of my love for Lauren and these books all over my social media, and I've also said how these books are the best books that she's ever written AND the best books I've ever read.. And I can honestly tell you that after finishing the last installment in this incredible series that I was RIGHT. Not only are these books that fucking fantastic and then some, but this book is in a whole other league of its own. We get to see a side of Reed that we haven't yet seen in the previous two books, which made me love the man even more. And Georgie?! That woman is a BADASS warrior: she's beautiful, fierce, loyal, has the biggest heart, is generous, smart as fuck, knows her worth as well as seeing the immense good in Reed that even he often doesn't believe, and is just the epitome of PERFECTION.
There is so much I want to say about this book, but because essentially anything I would say would be a spoiler, just know that this book, and the entire series, will own your complete heart and soul. My love for this trilogy is something that I don't have the words to adequately express: seeing these two amazing characters come to life and form into who they were always meant to be was so amazing. Both characters have continued to grow and mature throughout these books, and I couldn't be happier with the way things ended. There are some scenes that I did my own happy dance for -- though unlike Reed, ain't nobody wants to see that -- and some truly heartwarming moments. Each time I read a book by this author, I always feel such an overwhelming sense of family: Each one of her characters are connected in some way, to be a literal family, and I felt like I was a part of that family reading these books. I'm just so blown away.
I will say this; there is a storyline that is very relevant to today's society, and you will know exactly who Lauren is eluding to.. and because of my own personal experiences with the subject and how vocal I am about women being believed, I fell in love with Lauren as a human being even more. She is truly a rare find in this world, and I'm so, so glad I stumbled upon her books and her kind heart.
Please read this series. It is fantastic, the absolute best of her career, and by far my favorite series. Trust me when I say that you will fall in love with Reed and Georgie and all of their friends and family like I did. And if Lauren is a new to you author, binge all of her books now!!!
I'm so sad that this series is coming to an end, but so thankful that I was part of the journey.❤
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions.**

Beloved Liar is sheer perfection. Lauren Rowe has always known how to write a banger but when it comes to the conclusion of the Reed Rivers trilogy we get to see all the wonderful ingredients that keep us coming back for more. I cried, I laughed, I swooned, I cried some more and I wanted to reread the entire trilogy as soon as I was done. She’s mastered the ability to take you on an emotional roller coaster, including a few loop-de-loops, that you’ll want to continue to ride long after it’s finished. Highlighting the best of her talents this trilogy is utterly addicting.
Reed and Georgina bring the absolute best out in each other, there is zero doubt by the end that these characters are made for one other. So alike at times that they get in their own way yet can’t help but admire the equal force of tenacity within them, chemistry never waning. What started as a lust filled tornado comes to a wrap that’s so warm and feels so right you sit there, basking in the glory of what you just had the pleasure of reading.
As someone who has been waiting for this story, to the point where I was actually secretly cheering Reed on in Captain because he needed love so bad. (Sorry Rumcake, you and T-Rod forever) I’m extremely happy Lauren let it marinate. I couldn’t be more satisfied, 5 brilliant stars.

5 MAGNIFICENT STARS!
Wow! I’m so happy right now. This book has left me feeling buzzed and with butterflies in my stomach.
Beloved Liar is the third and final book in the Reed Rivers series. It exceeded my every expectation, and believe me they were sky high. I’ve waited for this story for years and it has well and truly satisfied my every romance-book-loving desire.
The book continues after that heart-stopping cliffhanger. Reed has to do some self-reflection and damage control in order to gain Georgie’s trust and fully deserve her heart.
Georgie is in a battle of her own; between trusting her emotions or listening to the voice in her head telling not to fall. I was all in and cheering them on!
Their personalities mesh so flawlessly together. From their witty hilarious banter to their explosive sexiness. They’re a match for match on every level. It’s so refreshing to see.
This love story was a journey; ups and downs, heartbreaking and challenging, meaningful and captivating.
The way all these books flowed together was something magical to behold.
Reed and Georgie were something truly special. They both experienced so much growth and it just made their love that much stronger and worthwhile.
Adore a swoony as all hell hero ? Read these books.
Do you enjoy a feisty, strong and loving heroine? Read these books.
Want a passionate read that will have you melting? Read these books.
Want to find an escape in an all-consuming glorious love story? Yup, you’ve guessed it. READ THESE BOOKS!!!

Lauren Rowe was one of the first authors I fell in love with when I started reading in the romance genre. I often go back and re-read her books, not because I need to remember something but because I thoroughly enjoy the first, second, third rounds with them that I crave the story all over again. Well, this new series The Reed Rivers series has gone and completely exceeded all expectations for me and it's gone and grabbed hold of me from the first page of book one.
After the ending of book two, I was on pins and needles. I needed an answer... I needed all the answers... I wanted to get on my knees and beg Ms. Rowe for answers to all these burning questions.
Lauren's ability to paint a story before your eyes is truly exceptional. It packs a punch and lacks for nothing. I went into book three not knowing where the author was going to take Georgie and Reed and what I got... Yeah...I was not expecting it at all.
I wanted to scream at Reed, slap him upside the head but I also am completely in love with him. He's the cocky alpha male that had me frustrated, yet swooning over him. Gah!
Georgie was my dream heroine. She stood her ground and she knew what she wanted and wasn't about to let anyone walk all over her. She's loyal, honest, fun and headstrong. She was perfect!
The characters' development, the way the book unfolding as I read, it was so hard not to fall into the plot and lose myself. I did just that and when I looked up it was daylight and I had finished the entire book. But the lack of sleep was well worth it.
I cannot say a bad thing about this trilogy, well I can.. and that is that I WANT MORE... I need more of these two and this world the author has created. I am addicted and I want to see beyond this. This was truly a top read of 2020 so far and I think it's going to be difficult to find a book/series that will grab hold of me as much as this did.
You need to read Bad Liar first, and then Beautiful Liar before you started this. Grab them. Don't delay. BUY THEM and fall in love with these characters, secondary characters, and the world the authors created. You won't be disappointed.
For the love of fuck, read the book! :D
No amount of stars will ever be enough!!

What a brilliant third & final book in one hell of a cracking trilogy. Beloved Liar was EVERYTHING I hoped it would be & more, in this final part of Reed & Georgina’s battle of the hearts.
Picking right back up where the last book ~ Beautiful Liar ended, I was thrown head first into the angsty, twisty, electric, addictive world that this pair seem to thrive in & I couldn’t get enough. Not a chance I was putting my kindle down until I’d had my HEA!!
I loved seeing just how much Reed had grown emotionally in this final book & just how passionate & open he is about his feelings, owning them like a man possessed quite literally. My heart was so full for him & the way, layer by layer, he let the world see the real Reed Rivers & damn was he a sight to behold. I truly did, just fall in love with him more & more.
Gah & Georgie Gril, well she just grew into a force to be reckoned with. & man was I proud of her.
I loved how she never once sacrificed her integrity, how she always pushed for more, how brave she was, how strong & determined she was. A fighter in every sense & she was magnificent with it.
I’m sorry to see their journey reach its end as I really have loved every step of their crazy, their love, their chemistry & most definitely their hearts. The epilogue was gorgeous & had the th feels, that still has me smiling long after I finished.
An amazing job well done by Lauren Rowe & another pair of spectacular characters to add to my favs list from this truly wonderful author.

Beloved Liar is truly a Lauren Rowe masterpiece. It is the perfect ending to an amazing story. It is by far the best book of this trilogy, but also the best book Lauren has ever written. Beloved Liar will have you hooked from page one and not let you go until you finish the last page.
Reed and Georgie have some issues to work out after book two and the story Lauren gives you as a follow up to the ending of Beautiful Liar is truly a thing of beauty. You get to see inside Reed and Georgie's souls and watch them try to be what each other needs. I will not spoil anything for readers but there are truly no words to describe how amazing this book truly is. You'll fall in live with Reed and Georgina more than you ever thought was possible.
Georgie is strong, sassy, SMART, and flat out amazing. Reed is learning how to show her who he is and how he feels. The two of them are just explosive. The story that develops between Reed nabd Georgina in this book feels so natural and flows effortlessly. Beloved Liar is truly special and magical. It will give you all the feels.
Honestly, I struggle to find the words to express how much I love Beloved Liar. The action, love, and chemistry in Beloved Liar are one in a million.

Beloved Liar is the final book in the Reed Rivers trilogy and my favorite of these books! I loved the conclusion of Reed and Georgina's story and it left me with the biggest smile on my face. Since I've read most of Lauren Rowe's other books, there were so many things in this book that I recognized from the others and I adored that! Reed is definitely a possessive/alpha hero but he's really met his match with Georgina. I loved the two of them together! Such a great ending.

”At every turn, at every fork in the road, I’ll always, always choose you, and us, and our love.”
“I promise to give you, and only you, all of me. Forever.”
Trilogy: Book 3 of 3
My Thoughts: The following are my thoughts about this book:
General:
- Trigger warning-there is a lot of reference to women who have been abused sexually as that‘s a story the reporter is working on. However, no on-page sexual abuse in the story.
- Audio: N/A. I read the book
- Setting: California and New York areas
Characters:
- Reed: 34, Highly successful music mogul and owner of the record label River Records - which has some of the hottest artists on the charts. Powerful, confident, masculine, generous, and dynamite between the sheets - he is all kinds of sexy and yummy❣️❣️
- Oh my heart.....Reed did something kind of stupid at the end of book 2, and my heart hurt a little for him. ”My heart feels like it’s rubbing against a cheese grater. Come home.”
- Georgina: 22, aspiring reporter who is working hard to get a coveted position as an investigative reporter position for the Dig a Little Deeper magazine. She is a little spitfire who has a knack for getting little tidbits of truth out of people that ultimately opens interesting doors and uncovers well hidden secrets.
- Together:
- 🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥. They just keep getting hotter every book. There’s definitely not anything boring about them. Their chemistry is intense and off the charts.
- I loved that all the walls came down in this final book. By 1/2 way through the book they put all the cards on the table, admitted everything and came out stronger together. I’m so glad the author didn’t drag this out to the end because by sharing everything earlier in the story we were able to see them work together to push each other to greater success and we watched them hold tight to each other when the truths were too difficult to handle alone. I loved them!
“I once told you I’m a believer in ‘going big or going home.’ But now that I love you the way I do, I’ve realized that’s not an either-or proposition. Going home is going big, as long as I’m coming home to you.”
The story:
- Reed starts out in the doghouse....and rightfully so. I’m glad she didn’t take him back right away.
- ”Reed, trust me on this: you need to grovel, grovel, grovel your arrogant ass off, like you’ve never groveled before. It’s the only way.”
- Still, a little more grovel would have been good.
Other:
- There are a TON of characters from other books. I kind of felt like it would have been better to read some of the other books first so that you could understand the dynamics of everyone. It’s not necessary, but I personally like to be privy to those interconnections. And then when I see beloved characters from other books appear it’s so exciting, so I felt I missed out just a little bit by not reading other books first.
- I loved the music video story. Shows the author can think out of the box
- I also loved the resolution of the fire. I didn’t see that coming and once again a little story that was succinctly explained and left the reader feeling “happy” for the mom.
- the dual sexual assault stories were a little intense and brought the “fun” aspect down a little. It’s an important story to tell and I’m always happy when the bad guy gets what’s coming to him. But just saying....that particular story aspect was a bit of a fun-sucker element.
- Everything wrapped up in a perfect bow. I will say it was no hardship spending three books with Mr Sexy Pants, Reed Rivers ❤️ I really enjoyed my time with Reed and Georgina and I’m sad to say goodbye to them

Quotes
“Georgie, I know you don’t trust me as far as you can throw me—which I’m sure would be out a third-story window, if you could swing it”
“I want to take you to my favorite restaurant in Manhattan.”
And I want to punch you in the face. Sometimes, we can’t have everything we want in life.”
“when we say, ‘I love you’ to each other, I want us to know the word ‘you’ means ‘all of you.’ Not only the good parts we show everyone else.”
“with each new layer uncovered, I’ve found myself feeling more comfortable and in love with Georgina. Not less. And, slowly, I’ve felt that lifelong elephant, who lives on my chest, getting up and wandering off into parts unknown.”
“If I haven’t made this clear to you, Georgina, let me do it now. I’m not going anywhere. You’re my last stop on the train.”
“Georgina is the sun. And every woman who came before her, an LED lightbulb.”
“Actresses don’t date insurance salesmen, any more than squirrels date bumblebees.”
“I think maturity has more to do with what’s happened to a person in their years of life, rather than how many years of life a person has had.”
“I promise to give you, and only you, all of me. Forever.”
Trilogy: Book 3 of 3
My Thoughts: The following are my thoughts about this book:
General:
- Trigger warning-there is a lot of reference to women who have been abused sexually as that‘s a story the reporter is working on. However, no on-page sexual abuse in the story.
- Audio: N/A. I read the book
- Setting: California and New York areas
Characters:
- Reed: 34, Highly successful music mogul and owner of the record label River Records - which has some of the hottest artists on the charts. Powerful, confident, masculine, generous, and dynamite between the sheets - he is all kinds of sexy and yummy❣️❣️
- Oh my heart.....Reed did something kind of stupid at the end of book 2, and my heart hurt a little for him. ”My heart feels like it’s rubbing against a cheese grater. Come home.”
- Georgina: 22, aspiring reporter who is working hard to get a coveted position as an investigative reporter position for the Dig a Little Deeper magazine. She is a little spitfire who has a knack for getting little tidbits of truth out of people that ultimately opens interesting doors and uncovers well hidden secrets.
- Together:
- 🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥. They just keep getting hotter every book. There’s definitely not anything boring about them. Their chemistry is intense and off the charts.
- I loved that all the walls came down in this final book. By 1/2 way through the book they put all the cards on the table, admitted everything and came out stronger together. I’m so glad the author didn’t drag this out to the end because by sharing everything earlier in the story we were able to see them work together to push each other to greater success and we watched them hold tight to each other when the truths were too difficult to handle alone. I loved them!

Well. Wow. What to say? Okay, here goes..
Beloved Liar is the third and FINAL book in The Reed Rivers Trilogy. A trilogy that is undoubtedly one of the BEST TRILOGIES I have read in all my reading life. Lauren Rowe has spun pure gold with The Reed Rivers Trilogy, which is absolutely her best writing and story telling yet.
From the very first page of Bad Liar (book one), Lauren managed to envelope me into a story that is simply INCREDIBLE. I was hooked and held hostage until the very last page of Beloved Liar.
If there is one series/trilogy I would URGE you to read this year, it would be this one. It's unmissable!

Because...Georgina
Watching the transformation of Reed Rivers in this series was a beautiful experience. It is stories like this that makes a reader feel blessed to have the opportunity to read such artistry. Lauren Rowe has done this and much more.
All the unknowns and secrets that Reed and Georgie kept hidden, all burst to the surface to amazing revelations. These two are meant to be together as one, no doubt. Reed came to the realization that showing your emotions is a sign of strength, not weakness. He never thought this was possible, before Georgie. He found it a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply. For the first time in his life he has someone who accepts his failures, his stupidities and assholery, and still loves him.
Watching Georgie face and overcome her fears and insecurities through the written words in this story was heart-stirring. I loved her strength, determination, persistence and spunk. Reed now believes he really is the Man with the Midas Touch, because it led him to find his Queen.

This book is about a man- Reed Rivers- who falls in love with a woman. As the man, he watches her dreams come true and supports her every step of the way - to her success!! She is a badass and her name is Georgina Ricci!!

3.5 stars! This was an exciting conclusion to this series. I still really enjoyed Reed and Georgina, but this just wasn't my favorite because they got together so early in the book. This tackled more of the suspense aspects of the series, which is interesting, but I felt like it missed the romance part that I love. I kinda think of Lauren Rowe trilogies as one complete story though, so the trilogy as a whole I would give 4 stars to. It was super enjoyable and if you love the alpha billionaire trope, you're going to love this!

The mind boggles, to have the heroine justify the hero’s cheating and label it generous, is craziness beyond believe !

Tears and goosebumps. Sighs and swoons. Beloved Liar by Lauren Rowe evoked every kind exciting and breathtaking emotions in my heart! The one hundred and ten percent epic conclusion of Georgiana and Reed's story slayed my heart and soul.
Reed Rivers is used to being in control and using secrets as his weapons. The most powerful personality in music world thrives on power and success. But Georgina Ricci is not impressed by his money and is not intimidated by his success. She wants the man inside. And he has broken her trust. Now he is miserable and dying inside. Can he get back her trust? Can THE REED RIVERS fall in love?
This story is the grand saga of Reed's unveiling. And I shamelessly and thoroughly enjoyed to see him grovelling and changing his infuriating ways. And I fall more in love with this honest and bare man. He is still the arrogant, charming, mesmerising and sexy alpha. But the author exposed his hurting layers and showed his bleeding wounds. And like Georgiana, this man with a golden heart won me over completely. Georgiana is the ultimate boss lady. I am seriously having a major girl crush on her. She is smart, intelligent, compassionate and ambitious. She did not let Reed control her life or career. She matched him perfectly in a fierce way. Her relentless search for truth and justice is really impressive. And dear lord, the chemistry! I can weep and cry from the beauty of their connections. It's one of those stories that made me literally clasp my hands in my chest and say "awwww that's so sweet" ! They had to work through their trust issues and they had to face lots of obstacles. But they did it together and that was truly amazing. It was totally dreamy in a dirty way.
Beloved Liar by Lauren Rowe was an emotional rollercoaster. The emotions were so gripping and powerful that it hurts beautifully. Intense chemistry. Sinful passion. A love story to die for.

The Trilogy is complete!!!
Reed, oh lord Reed!!! He will consume you, set your pulse racing, infuriate the living hell out of you yet make you fall
Completely in love with him. Redemption and a love that’s worth fighting for, the realisation that the journey and path you first chose is not always where you end up but finding your perfect match is everything.
This trilogy has been Lauren’s best work to date, now if you love a good binge read I’d highly recommend picking up all three and reading in one delightful sitting, prepare to be lost on a journey of emotion, and love.
A perfect 5 stars and top reads of 2020!!!!

Lies, only lies.
The author said that the heroine is sassy and strong: she is actually a child with a lot of tantrums. She acts like an idiot baby and she is a hypocrite.
She overthinks everything and every time the hero says something she is instantly offended, thinking that he was doing that on purpose because he wanted to offend her by all means.
The author said that the hero doesn't want a relationship, because his heart is made of ice. He doesn't like to be involved with someone and he is a rake. He is actually a guy who bought an apartment for his escort, after their first night together and he tried to make her be independent. He said he did not care for the ow but he kisses her goodbye because she wanted to.
I'm sorry but when you write about strong people, you must not forget that they are strong , and they must remain so in your story. You cannot say something and then made the character act differently.

Recensione in Anteprima
⭐⭐⭐⭐, 5
Georgina non rispondeva più ai suoi messaggi ma Reed sapeva quale fosse il motivo. In rapida successione la ragazza aveva scoperto che aveva finanziato la sua borsa di studio, che aveva fatto piangere sua sorella per colpa di un discorsetto che le aveva fatto sulle sue demo, e in ultimo lo aveva beccato uscire dal garage di casa sua con Isabel, la sua ex, dopo averla baciata.
Alla luce di queste rivelazioni la fiducia che Georgina aveva riposto nel magnate della discografia fino a quel momento era andata in frantumi, così come era accaduto anche al suo cuore.
Reed sembrava perso, un’anima in pena a cui mancava la sua musa. Ma era intenzionato a spiegarle le motivazioni che lo avevano spinto a quei comportamenti, anche perché aveva capito che l’unica donna che voleva al suo fianco, l’unica che il suo cuore e il corpo erano in grado di desiderare, fosse soltanto Georgina.
Avrebbe fatto di tutto per riconquistarla, ma entro certi limiti:
«Sono Reed Rivers. Un sopravvissuto. Un lottatore. Un imbroglione. Un uomo che è riuscito a trasformare il proprio nome da sinonimo di vergogna a sinonimo di rispettabilità, da supplizio a marchio di successo».
Si sarebbe scusato all’infinito con lei, avrebbe persino supplicato di perdonarla ma non avrebbe mai e poi mai, in nessun caso, cambiato il suo modo di fare. Non poteva certo trasformarsi in una versione patetica di se, senza spavalderia, senza strategie e senza orgoglio. No, a lei non sarebbe piaciuto.
«È così che Reed Rivers, l’uomo con il tocco di Re Mida, giocherà e vincerà questa partita a scacchi».
Reed era sicuro che l’avrebbe riconquistata.
🖋️Siamo giunti alla conclusione di una trilogia esplosiva che mi è piaciuta moltissimo, con personaggi divertenti, passionali (soprattutto Reed) e dalla lingua tagliente.
Reed nel momento in cui sente di star perdendo Georgina, si rende conto che la ragazza non ha rappresentato solo una piacevole avventura o una parentesi erotica nella sua vita. Per riconquistare la sua fiducia si metterà in gioco, le dimostrerà di esser disposto a perdere e a rischiare qualcosa che per lui ha grande valore emotivo, pur di riavere indietro il suo amore.
🖋️In questo romanzo conosceremo il lato altruista e generoso che Reed tiene nascosto al mondo, diverso dalla trasposizione arrogante di “uomo che si è fatto da solo” e “vincente” che abbiamo conosciuto nel primo libro, e resterete estasiati dal suo buon cuore.
È stato bello ritrovare Henn, Keane, Maddy, Zander, Aloha, Thomas e Louise Morgan, Josh e Kat.

Lauren Rowe knocked this trilogy out of the park. This book was so angsty and amazing. It was definitely what I needed and more.
Georgie had one job for her article and that was to peel the layers of Reed and write something original that people don't see on the outside. What she got from this job was so much more. Georgie is one of my all time favorite heroines. She is strong and she is confident. She also shows a vulnerable side and bravery that we have not seen. Maybe Reed is not the only one who has layers to expose. Can she do the piece justice without losing what matters most to her?
Reed... Reed is the alpha we have all grown to love. What I did not expect was to see these new sides to him. He is charming, insecure at times and new to his own emotions. Can he really be a good person? You will see Reed like you have never seen him before. You will be swooning and falling more in love with him than ever. He really has a beautiful spirit. Can he let her into his personal life?
Be ready to fall in love and read this book in one sitting. It is an incredible trilogy that definitely needs to be read in order. I will also say the side characters are fabulous. If you have been missing the Morgan's, no worries, as you will get a few unexpected updates on their lives. LOVED IT.

4 HEA CROWNS
I love HEAs. I live for them, and I couldn’t wait for these two people, especially Reed to get his.
One thing that I loved about this book is that even though we have bit of groveling, like everything Reed does, he does it his way. The two of them maintain their insane chemistry in book three, and I felt like this book really showed them as more than a pair that heats up the sheets. You could see and feel the love between them.
They do get back together with a ton of book left, and a good portion is tying up the loose ends of the subplots. I enjoyed that these tackles these together, each helping and supporting the other. Georgina is able to help Reed see himself as she sees him, a really generous and caring man. Reed helps her a achieve the justice she has long been denied. This part of the book, however, dragged a bit for me. BUT THE EPILOGUE. I die for a good epilogue, and this one delivered in spades.
Beloved Liar is a phenomenal conclusion to an amazing trilogy. I loved going on this journey with these flawed and imperfectly perfect couple.
ARC received in exchange for an honest review.
I listened the the audible, too, and it was AMAZING. I love all of Lauren’s audiobooks.

One thing that I loved about this book is that even though we have bit of groveling, like everything Reed does, he does it his way. The two of them maintain their insane chemistry in book three, and I felt like this book really showed them as more than a pair that heats up the sheets. You could see and feel the love between them.
They do get back together with a ton of book left, and a good portion is tying up the loose ends of the subplots. I enjoyed that these tackles these together, each helping and supporting the other. Georgina is able to help Reed see himself as she sees him, a really generous and caring man. Reed helps her a achieve the justice she has long been denied. This part of the book, however, dragged a bit for me. BUT THE EPILOGUE. I die for a good epilogue, and this one delivered in spades.
Beloved Liar is a phenomenal conclusion to an amazing trilogy. I loved going on this journey with these flawed and imperfectly perfect couple.
ARC received in exchange for an honest review.
I listened the the audible, too, and it was AMAZING. I love all of Lauren’s audiobooks.

STARTED OUT GREAT, BUT WHAT HAPPENED?
“Georgina Marie Ricci, the most diabolical woman alive, a woman who takes scorched-earth tactics to a whole new level, is gone.” … and Reed is lost without her.
Say it isn’t so. After that dynamite cliffy where feisty Georgie schools Reed and shows what a rock star she is at giving a cheater his just desserts (gawd I LOVED that garage scene and her fiery speech nailed his speechless @%# to the wall), I was expecting some real fireworks in the conclusive book. Like taking me down the rocky road of him getting back in her good graces for a sigh-worthy HEA. The same kind of spirited and sexy hijinks that hooked me into their story from the beginning. I wasn’t expecting it to take an investigative journalism detour and distract me with lots of other busy filler. Sadly and despite a good start, the eventual direction of this book left me flat.
The first third – the best part of the book -- was watching arrogant control freak Reed brought to his knees. Reed is so out of his element against spitfire Georgie because she refuses to listen to anything he has to say, see him, or even talk to him after their breakup. Her mind is made up that he cheated and she can’t get past it. It was hysterically entertaining watching him scramble around, groveling for scraps of her attention, desperate to make her hear him out, and utterly lost without her in his life. The very first scene was literally priceless, and showed Reed as a floundering, sleepless wreck of a man. But, Georgie – misguided as she is by appearances and assumptions – is no pushover, so she makes poor, deeply smitten Reed “work” for it. He’s still thinking with his Reed brain though, that everyone has a price and that he can wheedle his way back into Georgie’s good graces by just figuring out what her price for forgiving him is. Big mistake. She can’t be bought, especially given all that he did. And, when they finally kiss and make up with true love in their hearts, my heart went pitty-pat because it happened so credibly and heartfelt, as Georgie finds out what that “kiss”(and only a kiss) was all about. But, then the story floundered for me and I started to lose interest, partly because the romantic conflict was basically over.
Now for my least favorite part – the sexual predator angle, both in terms of Georgie’s expose and one involving her past. I get that she’s in search of a killer story to prove herself. But, once the couple reunites at 33%, everything else felt like filler: the intersected, familiar characters from Reed’s world, the family stuff, and the dual sexual predator angles that involve Georgie and Reed’s ex. The whole Harvey Weinstein-like bit may be timely and topical, but didn’t interest me in this story at all. I’ve had enough of the #MeToo Movement in reality and the media to have it play a starring role in the FINALE of this trilogy. The story just got too busy and off-track for me, and should have just been a duet. Those distractions just made Reed and Georgie take a backseat in their own love story. I understand that the author was paying off things that were set up, and digging deeper into other relationships, but I truly lost interest and started speed reading until it dragged on and on and I drifted.
Maybe I'm the Lone Ranger here, but the direction of this book was so not what I signed up for. I rewrote this review several times, adding and discarding many things I wanted to say. Until this book, it was one of my favorite trilogies and couples. As written, the whole thing just felt dragged out with added padding and filler that felt anti-climactic. After they got together, it felt like a new story was being crafted around them, not about them. Reading tastes differ and we can't help our gut response to stories, so not loving this book makes me sad. Do I love this author? YES. Does she write well. VERY MUCH SO. Do I love this couple. ABSOLUTELY. It just died for me after the 30% mark and everything that happened after that overshadowed everything about them that I loved, and was far less appealing than the beginning and the previous books. Sorry.

I’m at lost for words. It’s taken me a bit to try and gather all the feelings I have after reading the last book of this series. It’s left me in this high which I don’t know how long it’ll take me to get down from. #bookhangover
For those who have read Lauren’s other series and know who Reed was, we’ve all have been waiting anxiously for his story. Why? Well it’s REED FREAKING RIVERS. The man was an enigma from the moment he made his first appearance in Josh’s and Kat’s books. Which by the way if you haven’t read this other series you are missing out big time! I was eager to know more about Reed when he showed up as Josh's best friend. I wanted to know why he was so cocky, and such an a$$hoe. Why he was how he was. Deep down I had a feeling he had a hard past hidden and as this story evolved we got to know who he was, where he came from and why he was how he was. He was a man needing to get his walls taken down and my oh my what surfaced was a man to fall head over heels with.
In this last book Lauren has given us a side of Reed we've never seen. He had to evaluate and reflect on what he wanted in life. Sometimes we need an aha moment to slap us in the face and make us realize what we really want in life.
Georgina was having her own issues and had to work through them. Her journey was one to admire. She is such a strong willed, caring, spit fire, confident woman, stubborn at times, but hey aren't we all at one point in our lives? She has her goals in check and will do anything to reach them. A role model to all females. I love her and would so love to hang with her.
Lauren has weaved their lives together so perfectly. Each of them growing as individuals, and as a couple. The bantering was hilarious and spiffy. Their physical attraction was off the charts. That magnetic pull was so strong I swear I could actually felt it jump out of the pages. All the emotions shared in this book were felt to the core. As I was finishing this book I truly felt that even though Reed was indeed Georgina’s Prince Charming, she was the one who saved Reed.
I’ve come the realization that Josh and Kat no longer are my favorite couple. Yes, I was totally shocked!!!!! I mean Kat and Josh have been my favorite couple forever and ever! I was in denial and could not fight anymore. Reed and Georgie are it!!! But in a way I don’t feel that bad. Why? Well because for me Georgie is Kat’s kindred spirit and Reed is Josh’s best friend, they are bothers from another mother. What better two to take the crown away from Josh and Kat than Reed and Georgie.
If I could give this book and the whole series 20 stars I would. This is Lauren at her very best!
