My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Let’s go to Mexico! Filler does another masterful job weaving a fast-paced and exotic tale with relatable characters and tantalizing plot points. Filler is fast becoming a favorite author. She sets the mood and the pace quickly and engages the reader immediately. I cannot wait to read the next book as well as read this book again. Definitely recommended!

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2) by Lynda Filler was a fast pace, steamy, interesting, crazy read, with a surprise touch of action, that rounds out this original tale of love, lust, and the dark underbelly that this world has to offer.

Talk about a book that has it all. Shoot me, the second book to the Lie to Me series, was a different type of addition. The first book drags you to the depths of the back streets of male escorts, but ends on a note where you don’t know if the story will continue. This one picks up well after the fact, with our couple from the first, split. You’re left with a sense of aw before you’ve even started. So I do highly suggest reading that first book, even if this one, sort of reads like a standalone.

Like the first, we’re led on a journey that starts out a light, but as the pages flip and you get pulled deeper into this world, the tone gets darker, things get scary and, at one point I got worried for Lynda. She grew so much in this book, I didn’t think it was possible. But Lynda shows us a different side, and if this series continues I can’t wait to see where the authors takes her next.

Well rounded and just an intriguing read, I highly suggest getting your hands on this not so sweet, dark romance. The elements will shock you, the detail will draw you, and Lynda will become apart of you.

Happy Reading

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shoot Me was a great 5 star read and book two in the Lie to Me series. The story picks up shortly after where Lie to Me left off.

Layla is heart broken after Mateo’s departure, she had finally opened up and thought he was the one, only to be left all alone. She has decided to go work in Guadalajara for a few months to get away and write.

Pablo whispered, “It’s the things you cannot see, your vulnerability, the sadness of your memories, and your openness to love, that makes you so beautiful.”

Layla has quite the adventures and is really enjoying her time. She also meets several men throughout the story, some friends some lovers. I had my favorite but enjoyed all of them. There are some hot scenes, romance, danger, and so much more.

All of the secondary characters were great, I loved Marisela. My emotions were all over the place. Will Layla finally get what she’s truly looking for? If you’re looking for a great read I suggest this series, I really like Layla and her story and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shoot Me by Lynda Filler a four-star read that you will want to aim for. This is the second read in the Lie to Me series and you would benefit from reading the in order. The pace is fast, the drama is deep, and the story is good, Layla is a great character and one you will love watching as she grows before your eyes. The men will melt your eyes as well as other body parts, but it’s not all hot boys and sunshine, there is a depth and compassion to the story that will make you turn the page and suck you in.

Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel by Lynda Filler
4 out of 5 stars

This second installment in the Lie to Me Series is just as hot and fast as the first. This book is a continuation of the first one, so the first book is a must read. Layla is in Mexico, trying to drown the loss of Mateo leaving her in wine, coffee and pot, but nothing seems to want to drown him out. What is that old saying? The fastest way to get over one man is to get under another one? Layla does just that, she catches the eye of a very young (in his early 20’s to her 40’s) photographer, and then another young man finds his way into her path…and then another…and then an old friend shows back up who is looking pretty good as well.

The series of events the lead to Layla healing what is left of her heart, the friendships she forges, and the people she loves and who love her back makes for one very fantastic story. Once I met all of the young men in the book, I was pulling for one more than the other, but I won’t tell you why because it will give away some major details of the book, but I thing you will find yourself rooting for one over the other as well. I adore this book and series. This author is on my to be read list!

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me by Lynda Filler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Shoot Me is the second book in the Lie to Me series and I loved every second of it! I really enjoy this authors writing style, her descriptive language allows me to feel like I am really there in her stories and in this case in Mexico – I really could imagine everything that I was reading, the sights, the smells, the colours – everything was vivid in my mind!
This book should be read after book 1 as it is a continuation, one that follows the ending of book 1 very quickly time frame wise. Layla is moving after trying to get over Mateo leaving her the way he did. A change if scene and a place full of sexy men certainly seems to be the idea that Layla has to help her achieve this! And this distraction comes with the name Pablo! Oh he was a hot one!! There was certainly a lot of passion between the two of them!
Alongside all the passion and culture that the author includes in her stories Ms Filler adds other aspects too from a social and political side, this makes her books refreshing to read.
From the writing style side, it did take me a little time to get into but I liked the past and present telling of the story and the format it was written in – it suited the story well.
I am looking forward to more from this author again in the future!

Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel
By: Lynda Filler
5 out of 5 stars

The story Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel by Lynda Filler is a book that I loved reading. It had me intrigued from the very beginning and I found myself turning pages to find out what happens next. One of the reasons that I loved the story so much is the character of Layla. She is a woman who after losing Mateo, a man that she started opening up her heart to, has decided that she needs to change the scenery of her life and goes to the city of Guadalajara. Layla is a smart and independent woman who is looking for the one person who will complete her, give her happiness forever. In her new surroundings, things begin to happen at a fast rate. Chaos happens at a private opening for the fashion photographer Pablo. Then things ignite between her and Pablo. The tension between these two is off the charts and there are some scenes in this book that make the temperature in the room rise. Add in that she again meets Omar, a man who is determined to make it on the music scene and one night stand for Layla, Mish a University student that she has put in the friend zone, as well as a cartel boss’ son and it make for a story that will at times keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. There are also discussions on social and political issues. Will Layla find the man who will complete her? Layla begins to wonder if when she runs from situations, is it really from her heart? Read this story to find out how it turns out for Layla and the other characters. The author has written a book that is not only exciting to read it also makes you stop and think. My emotions went up and down with the characters. There are moments where my heart was hurting for the characters and others that had me wondering about the actions that some take. Don’t miss out a wonderful and exciting story. It is a book that I would read after the story Lie to Me. It makes understanding some situations easier. Highly recommended.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series Lie to Me, it is full of hot men and edge sitting action. In this book Layla has moved to Guadalajara to write her books and just maybe find herself. She meets new friends and is walking the steamy line of men not only that but danger seems to always be lurking. She made me feel as if I was right there with her and feeling what she was. She is in search of love but the problem is where she is looking, will she find it? I highly recommend reading this book.

Lie To Me: An Expose On Sex For Money by Lynda Filler – Review by Angela Hayes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

Lie to Me: An Expose on Sex for Money by Lynda Filler is a surprising read. There was a lot more between the covers than I had imagined. I was expecting an expose on sex for money, a journalistic hard facts and investigative piece- but what I got was so much more- it’s a woman’s fiction/ romance, wrapped around real-life situations which gives it a believable and relatable quality, which helped to deliver a deeper and more complex story than the book first appears. This is my first read from Ms. Filler and after reading this book, it definitely won’t be my last. The author did a wonderful job in infusing her story with emotion, I was quickly invested in these wonderful characters and their story. The story is brought to life with vivid and descriptive imagery. I felt like I was right there along with the characters.
A sexy, engaging, interesting and thought provoking read that tugged at my heart-strings.
Bravo!

Thank you, Ms. Filler!
