REVIEW - Filthy Beautiful Lies by Kendall Ryan


**Warning: this book contains an addictively filthy alpha male who will dampen your panties and own your days and nights. Proceed at your own risk.** 




Meet Colton Drake...

I have no idea why she auctioned off her virginity for a cool mill. Regardless, I’m now the proud new owner of a perfectly intact hymen. A lot of good that will do me. I have certain tastes, certain sexual proclivities. My cock is a bit more discriminatory than most. And training a virgin takes finesse and patience – both of which I lack.

Sophie Evans has been backed into a corner. With her sister’s life hanging in the balance, the only choice is to claw her way out, even if that means selling her virginity to the highest bidder at an exclusive erotic club. When Colton Drake takes her home, she quickly learns nothing is as it seems with this beautifully troubled man. Being with him poses challenges she never expected, and pushes her to want things she never anticipated.

A sinfully seductive erotic romance where everything has a price and the cost of love is the highest of all from New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Kendall Ryan



 She draws a shuddering breath. “Isn’t a sex slave supposed to, I don’t know, actually have sex with their master?”
“That eager, huh?” I trail a damp fingertip along her lower lip and feel her inhale sharply.
“You bought me, expecting something in return. Call me crazy, but I thought that was how this worked.”
“Let’s get one thing straight. I don’t want a sex slave. A want a companion. A mistress. Call me conservative, but I don’t like the term slave.”  I’ve paid Sophie to be here – she’s not held captive against her will.
“A mistress?” she asks, raising an eyebrow at me.
“It suits you. You’re my dirty little secret – a kept women,” I remind her, smoothing a hand along her backside, watching her pulse kick up in her neck. I couldn’t have her questioning my motives. It was too fucked up for even me to think about, let alone admit to her.

I’ve expressed my love for Kendall Ryan of time and time again.

Well, get ready – because I’m about to do it again. Kendall can really do no wrong in my eyes. I’m just putting it out there that I may be a little biased due to what a huge addict I am for her books.

So, let’s talk about Filthy Beautiful Lies shall we? Now, I’m noticing a bit of a trend going on lately in the romance genre with the whole ‘no choice but to sell my virginity’ storyline for heroines these days – but let me reassure you - Kendall’s story for Sophie was refreshing and unique!

While it would have been easy for Kendall to fall into some of the cliques that could have come with this storyline of a girl feeling she has no other choice but to auction off her virginity and then ends up having feelings for the man who bought her virginity – she didn’t let me down and kept her the story rich and interesting!

Kendall knows how to pull you into her story right from the beginning and not let you go. I also (and very regularly) call her a tease because well – she is! Filthy Beautiful Lies is the first in a trilogy. So guess what that means?...

If you guessed CLIFFHANGER – you would be right. However, believe it or not I actually knew going into this one there would probably be a cliffy – so I was prepared. AND – the second book comes out next month and not in a year – so all is well in the not sending Kendall threatening tweets as she apparently knows how well I handle sequels taking too long to come out.

So let’s talk about Colton, our hero for a second –

Colton kind of wins a few points for me just because his personality and dialog is written to be really believable (for me anyways) as a guy’s point-of-view. Kendall does a really good job on getting into a guy’s head and making him come to life. I don’t think it’s instant love with Sophie for Colton. I think it’s more of Colton finding Sophie easy to read and trying to approach Sophie and their situation as best he can.


But of course – this a romance novel after all – he starts to have feelings for her. ;)

Book 2 in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series.

I never expected to watch Sophie walk away. She was mine. I would own her. She just didn’t know it yet. New goal: Seal the deal and rock her world so thoroughly she never wanted to leave again. 

Highly sexual and emotionally charged, Filthy Beautiful Love is the provocative conclusion to Filthy Beautiful Lies.
