NOW AVAILABLE
Blurb
Cherry’s life growing up was nothing short of a nightmare. Having an abusive father forced her to fend for herself from an early age. Bruised and emotionally broken, she finally escaped, running straight into the comfort that Lip's arms brought. In the beginning, everything seemed to fall into place perfectly. He made her forget the messed-up ways of her life. But secrets can’t stay neglected. They have a habit of revealing themselves regardless of the consequences. Terrified, Cherry can’t speak a word or she’ll lose it all.
Lip is no stranger to the criminal life. Growing up among convicts, he wanted nothing more than to show his worth. He’ll do anything for the club without question, including serving six years in prison. But nobody could have predicted life’s plan. Rugged, tattooed, and wanting nothing more than to have Cherry, Lip is no longer the man whom Cherry remembers. After his release, he came out a beast with more secrets and lies than his cage could hold.

Review:
When I read The Lies Between Us, I had not read any other books in the series. I feel that by not doing so it did not take away from the book's impact.

This book is Lip and Cherry's. They both hold secrets but are too invested in their relationship to tell them. We all know secrets have a way of revealing themselves. When they are exposed they have devastating consequences. Luckily the MC is there to help pick up the pieces and put things in perspective. Tragedy strikes and blood ties are broken. The events show Cherry and Lip that love can be stronger than the lies told. 

Cherry's character has had a rough life. Here upbringing was not the greatest and neither was her adult life. She trusted the wrong person and it ended up costing her the one thing she loves the most. For her, Lip is her lifeline. He gives her stability. That seems to be one thing that she has always lacked. As much as I like Cherry, she does make a lot of bad choices. Most of them put her in danger. You can't fault the woman, she is headstrong and determined. 

Lip is a mystery. He hides his life from Cherry. He shows her enough to gain trust but not everything. He's a big bad biker. Being a part of a MC, it's expected that he will have some secrets. You can tell that he cares for Cherry and wants to do anything for her. I think that is what makes readers love him. 

Forgy's writing is fantastic. As I stated, I haven't read any of the other books in the series. She proves that she is a fantastic writer by creating a story that can stand alone or in a series. So if you just read this book, you're not going to be lost. I definitely feel that this is a must read for those who love biker books especially. 

My Rating:

4 out of 5 Stars



Excerpt
After he leaves, I open his wallet, reading his name, address, weight. All of it.
“Phillip DeLuca.” I taste his name running off my lips as I trace my finger over his picture. He’s so handsome. He’s the kind of guy most people would be afraid of, but not me. I want to get to know him. Lost in a daydream, my car door is yanked open.
“Where the fuck is it, bitch?”
“What?” I shriek as I’m pulled out of the car and slammed forward onto the hot hood. “I don’t have anything!” I scream, trying to pull free. He shoves me back down on the hood. His hand tangled in my hair.
“Don’t think about moving,” he spits, his tone harsh. I roll my eyes and continue leaning over the hood. My heart slams against my chest in pure panic, and my hands shake. He pulls away and leans in to the car. Within seconds, he finds his wallet. Shit.
He peers at me with a fierce energy in his eyes. The intensity has me pulling off the hood, scared out of my mind.
“You have some balls,” he mutters, shoving his wallet back in his pocket. His tone is soft and tender suddenly. I turn my head and eye him angrily.
“Fuck you.” I cross my arms and lean my hip against the car. My choice of words more confident than I’m feeling.
He steps up to me and grabs my hips hard with both hands. My skin burns, and my mouth parts with desire. His brown eyes find mine, and his hands yank my body closer to his. I feel like all the air is sucked from my lungs as I search his dark eyes. Placing my hands on his solid chest to steady myself, my palms buzz with excitement.
“You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” He looks me up and down and leans in close. “You’d like it if I pushed you over the hood of this car and fucked you ‘til your legs gave out.” His words feather against my lips, he’s so close. I hold my breath, willing my body to pull away, but I don’t move. Just when I think he’s going to kiss me, he grabs my hand and pulls it upward. I furrow my brows and watch as he pulls a pen from his back pocket, pulling the cap off with his teeth. He writes his number and the word ‘Lip’ on my hand.
“Call me. Don’t make me come find you, Cherry.”
“Cherry?” I ask out loud.
“Your swimsuit,” he yells over his shoulder before starting his bike. I look down at my white shirt noticing my cherry bikini peeking out from the bust line. A smile creeps across my face. I know I shouldn’t like him, but I kind of do. Driving past me, he winks and I swear I sigh like a damn fool.
