Lies We Keep (Pieces of Me, #1) by Danielle Rose

Review by Angelique Forgiveness, love, happiness and tragedy comes to light in the first installment of the Pieces of Me series, Lies We Keep by USA Today bestselling author Danielle Rose. We first meet Jezebel Tate, a successful author who seems to be at the top of her career and living a life that some only dream about. But things are never quite as good as it seems. The thing is, that even with her successful career and excellent financial situation, she cannot buy peace of mind or write away her past. No matter how badly she wants to. She can, however, find herself, someone, to protect her from a very obsessed and clearly psychotic stalker. This is where we meet James Blakely. He is a man with the experience and demeanor of someone who would put his life on the line for another. That is exactly what Jezebel is looking for, plus he is not exactly bad on the eyes and who knows what else he can do with his well-worked body? She is all too eager to find out but is pulled back to reality before she could get distracted enough by the good looking Mr. Blakely. James has his own past. Nothing he does can make him forget his tragedies but, he still manages to wake up every morning and do his utter best keep both Jezebel's stalker and his own demons at bay. Things never run as smoothly as one wishes and they are both eventually put in a situation where they have to face their shadows. Is it too late or can they find the light at the end of the virtual tunnel? It still amazes me when a few sentences that was developed from someone's mere train of thought can evoke so much emotion. Yet it happens. Every single time. With Jezebel and James, it's no different. You cannot help feeling their pain and loving their good moments. The story starts off slowly at first but falls into a rhythm that you lose yourself in. Being a fly on the wall with these two has been worth the late nights and extra few cups of coffee. Living through their eyes and practically feeling the magic concrete city that is Manhattan with streets full of rushing people adds a little extra to the already brilliantly suspenseful, yet very sexy novel. "Never forget that you're stronger than you could ever imagine." ***ARC received in exchange for an honest review.***
