This is a fantastic series! Not only did KU supply me with an ecopy but I bought myself a copy. The highs and lows with Reed Rivers and Georgina is just amazing.
What did I like? Reed is a liar but Georgina is an amazing journalist. This series is just so engrossing. I need book three! This is epic. I need and want to see Reed given a dose of his own medicine!
Would I recommend or buy! I’ve already explained all that.... really. I received a copy of bad liar from a Facebook giveaway and now I’m addicted to Reed Rivers!
Thoughts for the author? Amazing series...five fantastic stars!

I fangirled pretty hard for Bad Liar, but man oh man Beautiful Liar is--believe it or not--even better! As a longtime reader of Lauren Rowe and having loved all her books and having said that Bad Liar is one of my top 3, I can honestly say that Beautiful Liar knocked it down a peg. I have a new favorite Lauren Rowe book and it's Beautiful Liar!
Beautiful Liar picks up right where Bad Liar leaves off. That's all I'm going to say because I don't want to spoil Bad Liar for any one as you HAVE to read Bad Liar before picking up Beautiful Liar.
Reed and Georgie scorches! These two! Lauren really turned up the heat in this one. The chemistry between them is off the charts explosive and sexy. There were some steamy sexy times in this book that will leave you panting. One of my favorite sex scenes in the book was where Reed and Georgie weren't even in the same room and it was so damn hot!
My favorite character in the series is definitely Georgie. I really like Reed, but I LOVE Georgie. She is so badass--she's not afraid to tell it like it is, she doesn't take any bullshit from anyone, she gives as good as she gets, and she goes after what she wants, but she also has a lot of heart. She's perfect for Reed because he needs someone who is just as strong-willed and resolute and won't hesitate to call him out when he's being too arrogant or condescending.
The banter between Georgie and Reed, the sexy times, the setting and descriptions of the world of A-listers, rock stars, and music moguls that transport you into that world--Lauren's writing is always fun, but she outdid herself in this book. Beautiful Liar is so readable and devourable that I finished it in 2 sittings. I couldn't stop reading!
I highly recommend picking up the Reed Rivers trilogy. I'm dying for book 3 (thank goodness it's out next week!) and I can't wait to see how everything wraps up, especially after that ending! Ahhh!

Review for the complete Trilogy
If you like low-angst, spicy romances, and a character-focused story, check this one out! (But especially the audiobook!)
The Reid Rivers Trilogy was good, but I liked [b:Falling Out of Hate with You|56572214|Falling Out of Hate with You (The Hate-Love Duet #1)|Lauren Rowe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1609928355l/56572214._SY75_.jpg|88348845] (Hate-Love Duet) more, and I think this could have been shortened down into one or two book(s).
This one is about the music agent Reid Rivers, already mentioned in the Hate-Love Duet, and the young journalist Georgina. I loved how Reid taught her how to survive in this cutthroat industry and the spice was pretty good! Both characters were so horny for each other lol...
Lauren Rowe's books are pretty Insta-Lovey, but she still manages to keep them interesting. I think, partially because I listen to the audiobooks narrated by two of my favorite audiobook narrators: Jacob Morgan and Andi Arndt.
Book 1: good
Book 2: better - I liked the ending because it got interesting
Book 3: the first part was good, but the rest dragged on a little bit

No sooner had I decided not to continue with this series that I saw this book shelved under ow and cheating. Having no will power when it comes to those tropes I immediately delved into this. To my dismay it was more of what turned me of in the first book, major waffle and snoozefest.

With so many lies, you're bound to get caught.
And these two, they're dynamite just waiting to explode.
I am highly enjoying watching this relationship grow page after page. Together and apart they have so much to learn. I cannot wait for book 3.

This is the second book of the trilogy, Reed and Georgina's story is full on, the chemistry can't be denied, now it's time for them to see what happens. I honestly can't get enough of this couple, all the characters surrounding them are amazing and glad to see glimpse about other characters from the author. I need the final book now! Phenomenal 5 star must read, on the list of must read of the year!

I always love to jump into all stories by Lauren Rowe. I enjoy reading the journey of Reed and Georgina. The book she has a lot of spunk and like her fighting spirit. Looking forward to the next book in the trilogy. I was going to wait and binge but decided to jump into the series a little earlier than usual. Love how her stories come alive..and had been waiting along time to learn more about Reed.
