A Beautiful Lie by Tara Sivec, T E Sivec

A Beautiful Lie (Playing with Fire, #1)

by Tara Sivec and T E Sivec

He saw her first, but his friend made the move.



She settled for the safer choice, but her heart knew the truth.



They love, they crave, they lie.



Garrett McCarthy, Annabelle Parker, and Milo Roberts were as close as friends could get. They shared in each other's joy during graduations, promotions, and engagements. They consoled one another through heartache and loss.



When one of the friend's life is tragically cut short, it's up to the two left behind to pick up the pieces and find out the truth - no matter the cost. As they slowly start to uncover the nature of his deception, and the very powerful people behind it, they begin to question everyone and everything, even themselves.



Everyone has secrets - some do it for love while others do it for power. Those secrets can change perceptions, alter reality and sometimes destroy lives.



What do you do when you find out your whole life has been a lie?

Ok. This was a great book. I have to agree that Garrett is also on my book boyfriend list...holy crapola that man is hot. A solid story, friends who should've been together to start with love story. As for Milo... blech.

Ok- so I'm a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of Alias. Like, I was in the on the fandom bigtime. Loved it and cried when it ended. Even tho the best season was season 2. Anyhoo- there are some interesting parallels... things I won't go into because it would give away too much. But the author even used the number 47!!! 47!!! Which was all over the place in Alias/Rambaldi/Abramsverse.

But , I loved this story. It was well written and Parker and Garrett were so frigging hot together...they deserved the sweet HEA they got.
