Lies We Tell

by Kelly Hashway

Madison Kramer thought her past was behind her. With a new name and a career as a best-selling author, what could go wrong?

She never expected Trevor Lockhardt to walk into her book signing, offering his services as her publicist, or that she’d end up falling for him. But what she really didn’t expect was a stalker sending her messages, both written and in the form of dead bodies.

Madison can’t escape her parents’ murder any longer. But is it their killer coming to finish what he started fifteen years ago? How long can she keep her past a secret before her lies come back to get her?

About the author

Kelly Hashway fully admits to being one of the most accident-prone people on the planet, but that didn’t stop her from jumping out of an airplane at ten thousand feet one Halloween. Maybe it was growing up reading R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books that instilled a love of all things scary and a desire to live in a world filled with supernatural creatures, but she spends her days writing speculative fiction for young adults, middle graders, and young children. Kelly is also USA Today bestselling romance author Ashelyn Drake. When she’s not writing, Kelly works as an editor and also as Mom, which she believes is a job title that deserves to be capitalized.

Well, that was CERTAINLY NOT what I expected. I am REALLY good at picking out plots from a mile away. Usually within 3 or chapters, I'm calling out the ending, and I'll finish the book, just to say it's done. But this book? I was W.R.O.N.G . Dead Wrong. I thought I knew the outcome. I thought I knew exactly who the stalker was. But alas..... insert buzzer noise

To say I was pleasantly surprised by my inaccuracies would be a gross understatement. I was floored to find out who the villian was. The entire story was well thought out, and engaging. I had a hard time putting it down once I started it, because I wanted to make sure I was right (of course, as mentioned, I wasn't).

Trevor is a hot, sexy, and compassionate man. <~~~~Yeah.... you know you thought it was him too.
I was in love with his personality and the way he carried himself and how he treated Maddie. He was what the world needs more of. A gentlemen.

Maddie---well I can relate to her.... not int he crazy-childhood-and-crazier-stalker-adulthood, but more in the fact that writing is a PITA and editors are too, HAHA! But for reals, I truly enjoyed the story and the way the characters interacted. It was genuine, and well done! Totally recommend!

5 Stars!!

This book will have you hooked from the beginning and you won't even know who you can trust. I had to exercise some real self control and not skip to the end of the book to figure out who the stalker was. I was tempted sooo many times.. It was worth the wait because you will be shocked... and almost impressed and amazed at the length that the stalker/ killer went through!

Kelly Hashway had me scared to sleep at night and had me constantly looking over my shoulder because I was so immersed in this story I felt like it was happening to me instead of me watching from the sidelines. Every little creak or sound had me jumping out of my skin,

I haven't read a romantic supspense that has not only had me falling in love and swooning, while being anxious and terrified to be by myself in a long time, but Kelly Hashway... killed it. (Pun fully intended)

This is a fast-paced thriller that kept me guessing until the end. When author, Madison meets a handsome young publicist at her book signing, she has no idea her world is about to turn upside down. Should she date him or hire him? And who is suddenly stalking her, reminding her of her parents' murder she has tried desperately to keep a secret and put behind her. Nice combination of romance and mystery, this novel is highly recommended!

Madison Kramer seems to have the perfect life. She's a best-selling author with her first book and her agent is focused on Madison's success.

But her past haunts her. And a new fan is falling over himself to be her publicist. But after Trevor proposes his services to Madison, her past comes rushing forward to meet her present.

Will she figure out who her stalker is before it's too late?

I thought I knew who was behind all the horrible things happening to Madison. I was surprised to learn how wrong I was!

Lies We Tell is an exciting suspense about a best-selling author and her stalker. There's a love interest in the form of a publicist who may or may not be the stalker. You just have to read the book to find out! This is one of those rare mystery-suspenses that actually keeps you guessing all the way to the end.

[Medeia Sharif · Rating 5 out of 5]

I so agree with previous reviewers about how suspenseful and surprising this book is. Those twists and turns came out of nowhere and any predictions I made about the stalker proved to be incorrect. I hope to see more suspense from this author.

3.5 stars, more detailed review coming up!

[Naurarwen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow...just wow is all I can say about this book! Suspense isn't really my thing but I really enjoyed this book all the way through. There are twists and turns every step of the way where the author will continuously keep you guessing over who the stalker is. I spent the entire book trying to work out who was doing it and every time I thought I had the right answer I was proved wrong.

The story keeps a fantastic pace all the way through and it made it a very enjoyable read! If you love a suspense with a side of romance then I recommend you give it a read!

[Crystal's Book World ~ Crystal Cordova · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was really intrigued with this book! You get your hot romance and a side of suspense all in one mix. I was completely thrown off of who I thought was Madison's stalker. I was so wrong. That is what I loved about this story. I need the suspense to be just that. I do not want to know who was behind all the drama until the end of the book!

Madison's story is unique. I never read a story about an upcoming author in a story line until recently and I have to say I am hooked. I know Trevor came out of the blue to offer his services to help Madison's crazy life. But what happened with these two, Madison never saw it coming.

There was some angst and drama in the book. The romance was amazing! If you are looking for a new refreshing romance book, you need to read Kelly Hashway's new book, Lies We Tell!

[Stephanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I normally am not a fan of suspense books. However, Hashway's book was a great read. I thought I had it figured out a few times. But there were so many twists and turns. It definitely kept my interest.

Note, I did receive an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really wanted to love this book but it fell a little flat for me.

A suspenseful read!

A witness to murders...
A stalker...
A person hiding from her past...
Someone is after her...
Ready to end her life before it even began...

Such a chilling, suspenseful and mysterious read!

Constantly living her life being paranoid, especially since what happened to Maddie in her childhood is absolutely terrifying.

Full of lies, secrets, secret identities, chilling suspense, murder, stalkers, surprises and romance.

Perfect for readers of mystery/romantic suspense.
