Inked in Lies by Giana Darling

5.0

4.5 stars!!

Inked in Lies is some of Giana Darling's best writing to date. I loved this book so very much. Giana Darling has once again masterfully delivered a MC forbidden age gap that completely blew me away. Filled with angst, heat, heartache, and suspense, I couldn't put this down. I lived for all the unrequited tension and longing.

I've wanted Nova's book since Lessons in Corruption. Jonathon "Nova" Booth is so much more than the sexy, charming, charismatic heartthrob we've come to know in the previous books. We see his insecurities and his perceived flaws he hides beneath his gorgeous exterior. Gah!! Love, love, love him. Yes, there were moments where he frustrated the heck out of me but still his devotion and protection of Lila made me fall so hard for him.

Lila may be my new favorite Darling heroine. This girl had to overcome so much. She's fierce, loyal, and loves deeply. Even at a young age, you see her independence and free spirit.

Lila and Nova are everything. Aside from the obvious delicious chemistry they shared a genuine connection and friendship. I was rooting so hard for these two.

Inked in Lies is a wonderfully written passionate thrill ride. Book by book I fall more and more in love with the Fallen Men world. While this is a standalone, I would recommend reading the previous four books before this one. Every book is woven together so nicely. It just made Nova and Lila's story flow perfectly.
