| Ace Bear and Brenna McKenzie have loved each other since they were children, but so much has come between them. She thinks he abandoned her and their baby just when they needed him most. He thinks she left him to rot in jail for six months when she could have proven his innocence at any time. He thinks she threw away their daughter because she didn’t want an Indian baby. She has visited their baby’s grave every day for the past twelve years. They’ve been kept apart so many years by so many lies, could there ever be a chance for their love?
Bed of Lies is one of the best books I’ve come across in as long as I can remember. The layers of intrigue and mystery keep peeling and peeling and peeling away like the layers of an onion. The deceptions of the past just keep getting bigger and the more they find out, the less they know. Brenna and Ace are so well written they are utterly alive and their story is so compelling I couldn’t stop reading this book. I actually cried for their pain and the injustice of their situation. Ace is determined that no matter what the future holds he is going to keep Brenna alive. He’s determined to catch the murderer and solve the drug smuggling case, but all his suspects keep turning up dead. If you start reading Bed of Lies in the evening, you can expect to still be reading when the sun comes up. This book is so good you’ll catch yourself holding your breath. It’s not only a great suspense thriller but a wonderfully poignant romance as well. Bed of Lies is one book you just can’t miss.
