Book Review: Lie to Me by Melinda Di Lorenzo

This is the first time I’m reviewing a work by Melinda Di Lorenzo and I have two observations – she has a funny bone and she can be a playwright.

“Lie to Me” follows undercover journalist Audrey Albertson and Derek Stone, recently paroled white-collar felon who also happens to be Seattle’s most eligible bachelor. After these two meets, there are lots of laugh out loud funny moments and internal dialogue on their respective POV. Derek and Audrey are on screen 90% of the book. The supporting characters are only there 10% of the time. Hence, my observation that this book should be translated into a stage play!

It is really a fun read. Audrey and Derek are lovable characters. It almost hurts to see it end because there won’t be anymore pages where you can see them interact.

“Lie to Me” is Rated T for Teens due to adult situations. There is a sex scene in this book, but it is implied and not graphic.

Lie To Me

Description

Undercover journalist Audrey Albertson has one job–get the scoop on Seattle’s most eligible ex-con. She’s already completed step one–convincing Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome that she’s a fully functioning image consultant, who can provide him with a much needed man-makeover. Now, she just has to get to step two–get him to reveal his secrets. Of course, it would help if she could do it without falling straight into his arms.

Recently released felon Derek Stone needs a little help being perceived as something other than what he is, a man who stole a million dollars. His plan is simple: hire an image consultant. Have her make him into someone the world won’t hate. Reap the rewards without revealing the truth behind his crime. Letting the prim, sassy little blonde into his heart isn’t on the agenda.
