Girl meets boy when they're stuck in an elevator in a San Francisco hotel with only wine, cheese, and conversation about how they got there. Alexa's meeting her sister who's staying in the hotel and Drew's in town for the dreaded wedding of a former lover and one of his good friends. Before you know it (and definitely too soon!) the power's back on and they're headed their separate ways... BUT, she's somehow agreed to stand in as The Wedding Date that he needs for the upcoming nuptials! If this sounds like a cute start to good book then you're absolutely right! In fact, it isn't just a cute beginning, it's also a very cute story that's enjoyable and easy to read.

I hate to say it, but it's true... I didn't really care for this book.

Lies You Tell is a contemporary romance published by LooseId and written by the new-to-me author LaQuette. One of the first things that I noticed about this book was the cover. Covers can make or break a book in my opinion, and they have the power to turn me off before I read a single sentence. I really liked this particular cover for a number of reasons. First, I loved that the heroine was a darker woman with natural hair. Covers with women like this stand out to me because they are relatively rare. I also liked the image of the couple embracing. Actually, it's the expression and posture of the hero that I like. The gun in one hand, the other hand protectively at her back, and the "Don't fuck with my woman" look in his eyes pretty are a pretty accurate depiction of the hero Dante and his feelings for the heroine. Very fitting.
And the book wasn't too bad either...
