About this listen
If this was a poker game, Zach Masters would fold and cut his losses.
The problem:
The stakes included Faith Gardner’s life.
The notorious drug boss Chen Yong held the better hand.
And this was no game.
As a rookie DEA agent Zach takes a covert assignment in Billings, Montana. A chance encounter with a girl from his past threatens to blow his cover and puts her life in danger. Twelve years earlier, on the day before he deployed to Afghanistan, Zach Masters met Faith Gardner. They spent an unforgettable day together, and the memory of her helped him survive the dark nights of war and the battering of PTSD.
After years of medical school, Faith’s boyfriend Brett returns to Montana as the new emergency room doctor. But why, when Brett is perfect boyfriend material, does her heart seem stuck on Zach? Especially after finding him with some shady characters in an alley on the wrong side of town. Faith lost a high school friend to drugs and regret still plagues her. Even though Zach’s life looks like a train wreck, Faith vows not to stand by and do nothing.
Zach’s whispered promises on that long-ago Fourth of July still haunt her. If she had meant anything to him, why had he ghosted her?

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire.

There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Exciting!
These two Kelly’s were so entertaining and I was delighted to see the story unfold. Meghan has the ability to make me laugh and make me cry every time I hear her narrations. She is a great actress to install these emotions into me with her voice.

Great Second Chance Romance!
Faith knew Zach before he joined the military and runs back into him present day and thinks he is dealing drugs because she doesn’t know he is a DEA Agent. Faith is starting to date Brett, who her family thinks she is a good match for, but once she sees Zach again, some old feelings come back. I don’t want to spoil anything in this story so I will just say that there is a lot of action, some stuff that Zach needs to get over from his past and a lot of talking that Zach and Faith need to do. I really loved this book and Meghan Kelly’s narration. The different emotions came out in all of the characters she voiced and made the book great to listen to.

A Perfectly Balanced Potpourri!
I finished “Love and Lies” last night and I’m still reeling! It’s been a minute since I’ve listened to a book that hit me the way this one did … and again the tears are flowing. “Love and Lies” is a perfectly balanced potpourri, with every scent being an emotion, every bloom being a facet of this multi-dimensional story of love, loss, despair, deception, courage, sacrifice, honor, tragedy and triumph. We can’t have spoilers, and really, the details of how it all plays out are best savored by listening to this story, quietly and comfortably, with snacks, beverages and tissues! I can tell you that I spent as much time laughing as crying, worrying as wondering, and there were times I was a bit miffed at one or three and wanted to hug a few as well! I really came to care about the characters, came to understand them, sympathize with them and in the case of a few, identify with them. I also saw real people, people I know, my friends and relatives in a few. Once they became that real to me, what they faced also became real to me. I found myself becoming completely absorbed in the story as I listened, time became suspended and my emotions went CRAZY! I was a MESS! This is where that balance I spoke of saved me! Thanks to the combination of a brilliant author that knows how and when to inject humor, and just how long to leave a listener on the “edge” AND a phenomenal, professional first rate narrator that can voice every character, male OR female convincingly, consistently and so emotionally that they BECOME the character, THIS story became absolute stunning perfection and every future listener can rest assured that
the journey is well worth their time! Five awestruck stars and oh how I wish I could give more!

Love and lies amazing 🤩
Kelly Nelson wrote an amazing romance. Meghan Kelly did an amazing job with the narration, her voice is a great fit for this story. Meghan Kelly brings the story to life. Love and lies is very emotional, y’all laugh, cry, and be in shock. There is love, loss, despair, sadness, deception, suspicion,courage, honor, sacrifices, triumph and more. The characters are well developed, and so with the story. The story is interesting, emotional, entertaining, leaves you guessing, and leaves you wanting more. You will be on the edge of your seat one time and be like what! the Next. This is the second story of the series. Would recommend. I did get the book for free for a honest review.

Great Book!
Such a great book. I pretty much fell in love with Zack from the very beginning. And I absolutely love Meghan Kelly's narration. Sometimes an audiobook will sound so good but I just can't get past the narrators voice. Meghan has a way of bringing all of the characters to life and is so much fun to listen to.

Lost love
How would you react if you met a special person one day and they were gone the next?
A special man helps a young woman out with her younger brother. He leaves for deployment the next day. Time passes and even though he promises to keep in touch, he ends up not being able to.
This is the heart wrenching tale of these two people. Expect great highs and emotional lows when these two meet again.
Great book and narration. Kept me engrossed from start to finish. While this can be read with other books in this series, it can also be read as a stand alone book. Looking forward to next book this series.

Okay
The story was pretty good until too much focus and time spent on sad story. Really wished the characters from the first book were included more often. I would still read the next story if one is written about Crooked Creek.
