Favorite Quote: "He'd seen her make this choice before, always putting the story first. But this time, she was walking away from him-her partner, her confidant, the one person who had always understood her drive to uncover the truth no matter the cost. She was choosing the comfort of Noah's ordered world over the raw honesty that had always existed between her and Vincent, and that choice felt like a fracture in her own identity."

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you love a good love triangle mixed with drama, danger, and a heroine who knows her worth, omg this book is for you. When the synopsis said this books throws you headfirst into a world of corruption and danger that's what it meant! Love, Lies, and Local News delivers a thrilling mix of romantic suspense and small town life as our fearless main female character journalist Elizabeth Nelson returns to Sweetwater Springs, Ohio, and finds herself torn between two men and two different paths in life. The stakes are high as Elizabeth navigates her feelings for Noah, the smooth talking politician tied to the towns controversial project, and Vincent, her partner with secrets as compelling as his devotion to her. I picked my favorite quote because it was at that moment I couldn't tell if I needed Liz to stand up or see it through with Noah. But this isn't just a story about romance it's about uncovering truths, challenging corruption, and rediscovering oneself in the process. The best part? Liz doesn't lose herself in the drama. She faces her past, remembers herself, embraces her instincts, and proves that sometimes the best choice is choosing yourself. Never back down, never what? Iykyk! With twists, steamy moments, and a storyline rooted in timely issues like environmental preservation and political accountability, this book will keep you hooked until the very last page.
