This was another meh book for me. I got super into it at first and then just kinda lost interest, I didn’t care what happened to the characters and almost didn’t finish.

Witty, steamy and oh-so-swoony, Filthy Liar is a fantastic entertaining read. I didn’t want this book to end! I loved the banter, the sexy moments and the characters. Didn’t want it to end. There were so many times I laughed out loud! Fanned myself and got weird looks by family reading this book. Another hit for the amazing Ainsley Booth. Happy reading everyone

This was a page turner. There was non-stop action and great chemistry in the romance. I remember when the series started and reality became starkly similar to the premise of this series. This last book reflects that and I think the author did a good job of wrapping up her story in a satisfying way while acknowledging the unfortunate parallels with real life. Well done.

ARC received for review

Ellie and Jason had an office fling back in book one (but we never heard about it). She leaves and now five years later is back. Someone is after her for the information she has and members of the Horus group help protect her. The demise of the bad guy that's been around for all the previous books was pretty anticlimactic and disappointing. Jason and Ellie were hot and pretty normal compared to the last three couples.

The author says this is the book everyone has been waiting on...not me I wanna know about Tag and his ex-wife who keeps popping up and helping in every book.

This was okay for me. I didn't read the previous books but for some reason it felt you don't have to read them to know what's going on.
Now.... this felt too documentary for me in some parts. Like there was so much information that were too similar of things that are going on in real life right now that I just... didn't like the feeling of "reading news"; but taking that away I still didn't enjoyed the romance. I felt there was very little chemistry between our MCs eventhough they had a romantic past, i just couldn't see them together.
Also, a lot of the plot lines or things that happened in the book had a big spotlight but then a few chapters later no one talk about it and that annoyed me!
Overall it was okay.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

My favorite Ainsley Booth book to date! Filthy Liar had everything that I love in a good book. I loved Jason & Ellie and going on their journey!

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

This was a bit of a mixed bag for me because I didn't really connect with Ellie, she frustrated the hell out of me. I feel like if the information about her had come out quicker I'd have been able to relate to her better.
When the reveal came about what she was doing and the connections she'd made in the case I just felt bad for the guys, annoyed that she wouldn't tell the truth and over her lies in general.

I began this series years ago and have loved each book, I'm sad to say this is my least favourite despite finally getting answers to some long asked questions.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher/author for a copy to review.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it was very hard to put down. I look forward to reading more from this author.

If you like reading stories about alpha males, strong women, suspense and red hot romance you will enjoy Filthy Liar. It’s about Jason, a Washington fixer, who works in security. He and his associates are the best in the business but everything they do isn't always above the law.

Jason and Melinda had a sizzling affair five years ago, until Melinda disappeared. She has now reappeared and Jason wants some answers. Jason and Melinda care about each other, but they don’t trust one another and are afraid to share much of themselves.

This is a fast paced, intriguing story with plenty of action and many twists and turns. It takes place in Washington where politics and government are involved and it is difficult to know who to trust or believe. This is an exciting story and the characters have depth, emotion and tons of chemistry.

Filthy Liar has a storyline that is both complicated and intriguing, It is a book about love without trust and also a book about love that wants desperately to trust. Jason is a good guy who wants to do the right thing. Melinda doesn't seem to be able to figure out what she wants. It was quick to go physical without much emotion (again because I don't think Melinda even knew what she wanted).

What a way to end this series! When I read Book #1 in the Forbidden Bodyguards series (which I believe was called the Horus Group back in 2014), I knew I stumbled upon a great romantic suspense series. I had no idea that 6 years later I would be reading the last book in the series and enjoying it so much. It was well worth the wait to read about Jason and Ellie/Melinda's second chance. There's quite a bit of political intrigue and suspense as with the other books in this series, as well as the sexual tension between the two main characters that we've come to expect in these reads. This isn't a light and flirty read by any means so prepare yourself to become immersed in the messy lives of these fascinating characters. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

Ainsley is back with the 5th book in this series. I enjoyed it. I loved Jason and Melinda's story a lot. Their chemistry was hot and their characters were well written. It got a little slow for me in the beginning but all in all a pretty good read.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Jason owns a security firm and at one time had someone working for him by the name of Ellie. The two of them became attracted to each other and then she disappeared. Even with all of his technology, he could not find her. He did find little bits of what he thought was her but putting it all together would be difficult.
Part of the story is drawn from headlines or feels like they are. When you really get into the meat of the story you find that Ellie needs his and his team's help. You also discover more and more of who she really is. Who she was and has become and for all of the secrets and deceptions that she has told Jason he still wants to be with her.
The rest of the story has chases, who done it, intrigue, and more. The story moves along at a fast pace and though I did not read any of the other books I was able to keep up with this story and found it to be very entertaining and suspenseful at times. Very good characters and a good storyline.

It’s been years since Ellie went undercover at Horus Group to investigate a story however her assignment became very personal when the chemistry ignited between her and Jason. She may have left with her story and with her cover, but she left her heart behind.

Years later she is back investigating another story when fate brings Ellie and Jason together only this time around, she needs his help. Not only do they need to deal with the past but with all the secrets in the present as well.

This story takes you on an action-packed adventure filled with intrigue, surprises and hot chemistry.

t’s been five years since he’s had her, five years since he’s touched her, five years since he’s kissed her, five years since he’s seen her and five years of loving her. She’s in a disguise but he’s knows it’s her across the room and the fact that she’s fleeing means she knows she’s been spotted, and she knows she’ll have to answer for what she did.
Five years ago, Jason let her in only to find out she wasn’t who she said she was and in his line of business that never should have happened. Now Ellie is back and while he’s madder than mad at her, he still wants her and now that he’s touched her, he not only wants her but needs her.
Five years ago, Melinda Gray posed as Ellie to break a story, never in a million years did she expect to herself in relationship with one of her bosses. Jason Evans managed to burrow his way into her soul and he’s still there.
While I liked this book, I couldn’t really enjoy it. This is book five in a series and I haven’t read the other four. The over all premise of the book was really good but because the story really started in previous books and there’s constant mention of other characters and their involvements I felt like I was coming in on a story that was already half told so I had a hard time connecting. I could definitely see the chemistry between the characters, but I felt like there was more to them than what I was getting.
For now, I can only give this book three stars, but I plan to go back and read the first four books, then reread this one and almost positive it will get more stars. For me the books in this series can’t be read as stand-alone.

I received a copy of this book to review from Netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.
A fun, bingeable read, perfect for lovers of romance,

I was not expecting that - I binged this in one session. This was a surprise in the best way. I felt like the story could have been ripped from the headlines of our current climate. It was fast paced, smart, had amazing chemistry and I felt like it wrapped up the series really well.

Political thriller plus hot and steamy romance. Is always a good book.
This was a good book. Really enjoyable.

3.5 stars from me.

This was a great suspenseful read from Ainsley. I love her dirty talking alphas and the woman they fall for. This was the fifth book in the series but it can be read as a standalone. The plot reads more like a political thriller than strictly romantic suspense so if you're not into that you may want to steer clear.

A second chance romance!

Five years ago Ellie was Jason's receptionist ... and his secret lover. Then she vanished. Now she's back, but her name is Melinda and she's a journalist asking questions about one of his clients. The chemistry between them can still light a room on fire, but Jason just can't trust her. Melinda knows that her secret will destroy Jason, so she's determined to help her friend and then get out of DC ... away from Jason.

I could just feel the electricity between Jason and Melinda. The author had me turning the pages to find out what the secret was that would keep two people apart that you just knew were destined to be together. I love a book that can keep me guessing. A great addition to the series.
