A game of seduction and running from the past will be what ultimately ties them together. Staying together only made them closer but will the lies push them apart? Danielle Rose is definitely a must read!
This book is hawt hot hott. I was intently engaged while reading and it turned into a one sit read. I loved it!
This story has started on the right foot and can't wait for more. So many questions that I need answers to! The chemistry is off the charts good!
Lies We Keep is the first book in the Pieces of Me series by Danielle Rose. I really liked the story and can't wait to read the second book
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book for an honest review.
Jezebel Tate is a erotica romance author and she has a stalker that is getting too close and too dangerous. So Jezebel hires for marine James Blakely who beside looked good in a suit, gets hot and heavy with Jezebel. The sex scenes, like the rest stop, bath tub are hot, hot, hot. This book was sexy, suspenseful and a twist the reader didn't see coming. Loved this book and want to read more from this author.
This book draws you in from the first sentence. I could not stop reading because I needed to know what would happen next. Erotic, mysterious, and emotional are the words to cover this book. Jez and Blakely sigh...I LOVE everything about this story! I want more!
Jezebel has a sucessful career as a writer but unfortunately a fan becomes obsessed and threatens her safety. James is running from his past when he accepts a position to be Jezebel's personal security guard. They grow closer as the threat to her safety intensifies. This was a great

Could have been more:
The title on this book was a bit misconceiving; it should have been "Lies we tell ourselves". Both of the main characters blamed themselves for tragedies that had happened to their families and they had closed themselves off and not dealt with the emotional ramifications. We see some evidence of Jezebel working towards this in the epilogue but the majority of the book dealt with the lust and physical attraction between her and her bodyguard. Jezebel was an apt name for her and I wished we could have seen more of a mature relationship develop between these two and not just the hints from the epilogue. I thought the ending was overly dramatic and not fully explained. Perhaps we are supposed to wait for book two? Also Jezebel's physical ailments didn't seem realistic and were overkill for me.
This book was short and only part one. It would have been been more enjoyable had it been fleshed out a bit and combined with the second installment to make a solitary novel. It was told from a single point of view and I missed having James's perspective, which we only got a glimpse of in the epilogue. It ends on a happy-for-now and I don't think I shall be bothering with book two.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.
This is my first book by this author and I will definitely be reading more! James and Jezebel's story is steamy, suspenseful, and has you on the edge of your seat during one particularly intense scene. These two have undeniable, off the charts chemistry the moment they meet even though James tries to fight it. Two souls tortured from an event in their past bond and become everything to each other. Loved this story!
This was a first read for me by Danielle and I just thought this was just ok. I think the female character Jezebel irked me for majority of this story. Her alpha female characterization just didn't fit right. I liked James though. I just didn't like how quickly things progressed. The ending was a bit of a doozy. I don't think I'll be continuing with the next book.
I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Received this book from netgalley as an ARC to share my review after reading. What a great book I have not read anything from this author before, and will now be looking for more of her work. Really enjoyed this book about an author and her hot bodyguard that she has to hire to help her deal with a stalker. Highly suggest reading
Lies We Keep: A Pieces of Me Novel was a great read by Danielle Rose. Jezebel has a sucessful career as a writer but unfortunately a fan becomes obsessed and threatens her safety. James is running from his past when he accepts a position to be Jezebel's personal security guard. They grow closer as the threat to her safety intensifies. This was a great read y Danielle Rose and I can't wait to read more by the author.
Jezebel is a romance novel writer. She loves the long nights to work and days to sleep. She prefers to be alone. Her best friend and literary agent Tara is the only one she lets get close. She has a stalker who is sending her letters and so she needs to hire a bodyguard. Even if she would like to pretend nothing can touch her. She is safe and doesn’t need one. But when James Blakely walks in she is ready to hire him immediately!!! They are a lot a like but can they resist the attraction? Will James be able to protect her or be too distracted? Book given to me by author and I highly recommend.
I have heard quite a bit about this book, so I was thrilled to have received this by the publisher. So a writer, Jezebel, is being stalked. Nasty letters are being sent to her, so Jez decides to hire a bodyguard, except when Jez first meets James Blakely; it’s not protection she is thinking about. These two hit it right off the bat. As things heat up between them, so does the stalker. It becomes a who’s who on who it could be. Then, the past comes back and Jez has to deal with it and her stalker. I am so happy, a second book has already been written including these 2; except now it concerns James’ past. I love this couple and together, they are stronger!
I don't think the synopsis does this book justice, it makes it sound so basic but it had so many layers to unpeel! So much happened, and while some of it may have been predictable there were still so many twists and turns along the way. Jezebel never realized how much being a writer would put her in the spotlight. She just wanted to remain inconspicuous so she wrote under a pen name and rarely did interviews. Somehow that didn't stop her stalker from finding her, requiring her to hire a bodyguard. Without giving too much away, this is about the instant connection between Jezebel and her bodyguard (Whitney Houston anyone?? ;), overcoming the struggles of their pasts, and the secrets and lies that connected them but could also tear them apart. (oh and there's still the whole stalker situation!). I left this one fully invested in their relationship which is definitely a sign of a great read!
From the very start this book had me hooked! Lies We Keep is a great read and a real page turner. I recommend completely!
Jezebel Tate is a very successful romance writer. She does not like the limelight and tends to stay behind the scenes as her career flourishes around her. When anonymous letters begin to appear, Jezebel stays closer to home limiting the people around her and involved in her life. Jezebel's manager and best friend, Tara, suggests hiring a bodyguard to help protect Jezebel from the stalker that threatens her safety and livelihood. In walks James Blakely to interview for the position Jezebel's bodyguard. Jezebel hires him immediately and from there the instant chemistry, twists and turns in the book Lies We Keep. As the story develops we learn about the past that haunts both Jezebel and Blakely and how that strengthens the bond they feel for each other.
Danielle Rose has written a beautiful story of resilience.
Lies We Keep is a must read.
Lies We Keep was very suspenseful & hot! Jezebel & James were great together. Once I started the story I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read more from Danielle Rose.
Jezebel is an author and she has a stalker problem. She hire James as security. The attraction between them is electric from the start. James has a past and mistakes that he can't get over. Jezebel is thrown into the dark again because of her stalker. I feel like she didn't really take the stalker situation as serious as she needed to do. All in all this was a good read.
