Publisher Description

Maddie Faraday's life would be perfect—if it weren't for

her cheating husband

her suspicious daughter

her gossipy mother

her secretive best friend

her nosy neighbors,

and that guy she lost her virginity to twenty years ago...

In Tell Me Lies, Jennifer Cruise dishes up a funny, sexy, suspenseful novel about small-town secrets, big-time betrayals and the redemptive power of love, laughter and chocolate brownies.

"This book is on my top ten list of all-time favorite romances. Maybe that's because it was my first exposure to the incomparable Jennifer Crusie. Or maybe it's because it's just that good. Normally, I despise stories dealing with cheating spouses, but this book managed to get around my standard objection and keep me turning the pages."

    " I have to say that despite the slow start, I really liked the book. I didn't love the adultery despite how crappy a husband Maddie had...while it made her human, it also made me like her a little less than I might have. Otherwise the story was good. "
