Synopsis: What do you do when the one person you thought you knew turns out to be the one you knew the least?

Twenty-three year old Marissa Chase, and soon to be college graduate, has everything going for her: wonderful friends, a lucrative degree, and a chance to explore the world. What made it even better – or so she thought – was when her path crossed with the alluring Alec Holden. Unable to stay away from him, Marissa experiences a love like no other, and falls into his world of passion and intrigue. However, things begin to shift when this path takes a deadly turn.

Her trust is put to the test when hidden dangers unfold before her, revealing secrets that have been buried for years. Secrets that were meant to stay hidden. Murder, lies, and betrayal … will Marissa figure it all out in time and escape with her life intact, or will she be too late and fall into the trap of deception?

I just completely adore L.P. Dover so when I see a Blog Tour for her next release I always hope that I get on it! I was so happy when I got told that I was on the Blog Tour for this book as I had been desperate to read it! Love, Lies, and Deception was so different to L.P. Dover's other books, but it was still as amazing! It shows me that she can dabble a little in any genre and still write an amazing book! It is definitely my favourite book by her so far! After reading the synopsis of this book I really wanted to read it and it definitely lived up to my expectations! The plot of this book kept me on my toes! It was mysterious and it went at the perfect pace to make me desperate to read on! There were also loads of steamy scenes! I wasn't really expecting quite that many, but I can't fault them! The plot was also written brilliantly and flowed perfectly with the pace of the book! The bad guy in this book wasn't who I was expecting it to be! I had a little niggle in the back of my mind that it could be this person, but I did suspect someone else at the same time! I was half right though lol! The characters were also amazing! Marissa was the main character and she was just an average person who was pulled into something deadly! I loved this book being told from her point of view as I watched her life go from normal to her running for her life! I think she was amazing throughout it all though and she stayed strong! I would personally have been freaking out lol! I adored Marissa's relationship development with Alec as well! They made such a hot couple! Alec was the love interest of Marissa and he was so hot! I loved how protective he was of her and how much he would risk his life to keep her safe! There was a bit of a love triangle in this book and it was between Marissa, Alec and Kristian! I was Team Alec without a doubt! There was something about Kristian that I just didn't like and also I don't really think that Marissa saw the two of them as more than friends! I loved that the love triangle didn't last the full book as well and that is was resolved I completely understand why this book is a standalone as it's fully resolved, but I am going to miss Marissa and Alec! They were amazing characters and I would honestly love to read another book or even an novella on them! The cover is stunning! It's hot and I love how well it suits the book! Big thank you to L.P. Dover for an ARC of Love, Lies, and Deception and to Kim and Jaime for having me on the Blog Tour!
