Love & Lies: Say The Word / Erasing Faith
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER... Two titles from internationally bestselling author Julie Johnson, bundled together in a steamy, suspenseful 250,000-word package.
SAY THE WORD
Seven years ago, Lux shattered Sebastian's heart and walked out of his life for good -- or, so she thought. When their worlds collide once more, the sparks that still fly between them aren't enough to erase the pain of their past. Amidst the hurt and heartbreak, Lux tries her best to keep the truth about what happened all those years ago buried... but some secrets just aren't meant to be kept...
ERASING FAITH
Faith sets out to study abroad in Budapest, expecting the adventure of a lifetime; she does not expect to be swept off her feet by a handsome stranger days after her arrival. But when Faith learns the man she's given her heart to is not what he seems, their whirlwind romance falls apart. Brokenhearted, she leaves Budapest -- and Wes -- behind. She'll soon learn, soul mates aren't so easy to erase...
LOVE LIES is a two-book bundle featuring two standalone novels with minor crossover between characters. SAY THE WORD is approximately 140,000 words, while ERASING FAITH is approximately 110,000 words. Both books feature second-chance love stories, suspenseful elements, and steamy scenes! Recommended for readers ages 17 and up due to mature themes.

I’ve only read ERASING FAITH of this bundle and loved it. The pace was fast and poignant. Loved Faith and Wes and their trials and tribulations!

Say The Word
"...if two people are meant to be together, nothing can truly separate them."
I love reading second chance romances and Johnson delivers a doozy with Lux and Sebastian's story! Lux is stubborn, hardworking, loyal and very independent..much to the chagrin of her friends.
Sweet, generous, and protective with a heavy dose of sex appeal, Sebastian is pretty darn close to the perfect book boyfriend. Circumstances tear these two apart but when they accidentally stumble upon each other hold on for a great ride!
The scenes with Lux and her twin Jamie brought me to tears. The range of emotions the author captured and some deftly woven, surprising plot twists made this book a seriously spectacular read for me.
Channeling a few favorite moments from Cinderella (Simon and his vivacious personality made a rocking fairy god-friend btw), Say The Word is a captivating, stand alone, second chance romance novel with an HEA you don't want to miss out on!
Erasing Faith
"It might've started as a lie...but it sure as hell didn't end as one"
Truth and lies are two sides of the same coin. Faith and Wes's relationship begins with a lie but the truth may just save it.
Faith was supposed to be a job for Wes, a way in to bring down a criminal organization for the CIA. Wes is a man of secrets, a loner who lives for the job and has no family or friends to speak of. He never lets emotion get in the way of completing a job.
Wide open with her feelings, generous, honest..Faith is the complete antithesis of Wes. Love was never meant to be part of the equation but when these two meet..it was great watching two halves become whole.
While this book didn't carry the same heavy emotional intensity as Say The Word, the story was just as engrossing and is definitely worth adding to the book pile.

i read this book for 4 days straight. It was sooo wonderful and as it said on the cover, it was 2 wonderful, unforgettable love stories.
SAY THE WORD
Okay, im a sucker for these kind of stories where they started as best friends, and finding each other again. It was sooo precious and for some reason, i related to it, as if i was with them when they were in love and when they were in pain.
LUX and SEBASTIAN, never ended, just lost their way through lies...
and i was glad that they had found each other again.
<3
ERASING FAITH
I'm also a sucker for these kind of stories, the brooding bad boy with a golden heart who found his salvation through love.
FAITH and WES' story was heartbreakingly beautiful and painful.
Again, it was relatable as if i was there when they were bounded with their love and lies.
Though they hated each other, they loved each other more...
It was so passionate and sweet and just <3
OVERALL, i completely fell in love with these 2 stories and i will remember them for a long time. 30 bucks well spent ^___^ now if you'll excuse me, I have other books i need/want to read from Julie Johnson <3 <3 <3

A relationship founded on lies and deceit. A trap difficult to forget. Too much hurt. Had to move on. Not sure if there is any room to love. A journey worth the fight. A story that must be read. Loved reading this book.
