**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**
Stolen Lies is the conclusion in the Truth and Lies duet. Hidden Lies should be read first to completely understand the series.
Stolen Lies picks up on the cliffhanger where Hidden Lies left us. Talia is missing and Kostos is beside himself looking for her. Yes their relationship started as an arrangement but developed into so much more. Will Kostos get his vengence when he finds out where she's been? Will Talia want to be with him in the end?
Stolen Lies is such a fantastic conclusion. It kept me on the edge of my seat locked in suspense. There is so much violence, so many secrets, lies and truths revealed it will have your head spinning. I adored this duet. It was written perfectly. Webster and Ash out did themselves!!

Stolen Lies is book 2 in the Truth and Lies Duet. It’s a dark, mafia romance.
This is the continuation of Kostas and Talia’s love story. I enjoyed watching Talia become more assertive in her marriage. You still get the non stop action, drama and steamy moments. I felt the story went on a bit longer than needed, but overall I enjoyed their happy ever after.
Sarah Puckett and Jeffrey Holz did a nice job portraying these characters.

Well these two took me on a journey I wasn't expecting. I did not see the twists that this book had coming. That says something about this collaboration because normally I have an inkling the way the story is going to go and this was not the scenario I would have envisioned.
I like the outcome and am glad the characters got their HEA. I would love to see Phoenix get a story.

⭐️ 5 "Demetriou Empire" Stars ⭐️
This second installment in the Truths and Lies Duet was thrilling, obscure and twisted. With the way Hidden Truths ended, I needed answers and got them pretty fast. I was really stunned by a lot of actions taking place in this spellbinding sequel.
Kostas would do absolutely anything for his wife and he proves it plenty of times. He’s so dominant and merciless, but with Talia he’s the opposite. He’s such a great husband, so doting and gentle. But he’s alpha to the core with his controlling and protective attitude, creating some really tensed scenes with Talia. Let’s just say that when they fight, it’s so exhilarating and great foreplay for them! Talia isn’t the same innocent woman she was when they first met. She knows and embraces the world of corruption her husband leads and it only makes her more badass. That’s a darker edge to her personality that I particularly enjoyed!
At every turn there’s new secrets revealed and suspects to the threats on the Demetriou’s empire. The fire between Talia and Kostas burns hotter than ever, but under all this passion lies a deep rooted love that is mesmerizing. They share something real and profound that had me in awe.
Stolen Lies was exciting, gruesome and searing hot! I loved this couple so much and their quest to get their happily ever after was so fascinating! K. Webster and Nikki Ash wrapped up a must read, electrifying dark romance duet with aplomb! You definitely need to meet Talia and Kostas in their chaotic world!

This was such a good duet! Talia is a mafia daughter even though she hasn't been raised as one living with her mother. Her father makes a bad deal and has to pay the Demetriou family and chooses to save his ass with using her. She started off rocky with Kostas, but I really enjoyed seeing her grow a backbone. Kostas doesn't have any plans on having a traditional relationship with Talia, it's his way or no way. However, that changes quickly because he falls so hard for her. The twists,betrayals and secrets within Kostas family were wild!

What an Ending!
This book was so so good! I think this is one of the best Duets I have ever read! These two are absolutely rulers of the underworld. I wish this would have spin offs because I want to read about Phoenix. There is so much good in this book and after the cliffhanger in Book 1….. you just need to read these!
