I am a total sucker for secret marriage billionaire trope and this one was no exception! While the cover is what drew me in this whole book held me captive. The authors name gave me a good laugh. But will be back for more of her writing!

This book will have you hooked through out the book.. a book to binge read for sure .. the twists and turns are seductive...loved it..

I wish I could have read this book without needing to read the previous books in the series. When I started I was a bit lost and confused as I did not read the previous books in this series.

The story between Bea and Knox was well written and a good story. However, I could not get into the story as I felt that I was missing context.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Bea and Knox. There is an instant attraction. They meet and got married after dating for a couple of months. They didn’t tell any family, they kept it a secret. Bea landed up in the hospital. Someone threatened her and stated she needed to not see Knox anymore. She had a panic attack and Knox found out about, stated to Bea he wasn’t going to let her go. They found more clues till one day someone kidnapped Bea. Knox came to rescue.

Enchanting read for and evening session, couldn’t put it down once I started.
Tara Sue Me never disappoints with her work, keep up the good work!

SEDUCTIVE LIES is the second instalment in Tara Sue Me’s contemporary, adult THE BENEDICT BROTHERS erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the Benedict Brothers: Keaton, Knox and Kipling. This is Knox Benedict, and twenty-nine year old attorney Bea Jacobs’ story line. SEDUCTIVE LIES can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

NOTE: SEDUCTIVE LIES is the re-release and re-written DEADLY SECRET written as Tara Thomas.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Bea and Knox), and first person Jade Mann, SEDUCTIVE LIES continues to follow in the aftermath of the attacks against Tilly Brock (Perilous Kiss), and our story line heroine. Someone is taking aim at the Benedict family, and the women they love are caught in the crossfire. Bea has been attacked, threatened and loved one gone missing, but her relationship with Knox may be the precipitating factor. Loving Knox Benedict means walking away when the threats become personal, and Bea refuses to place Knox in the direct line of fire. As the family continues to search for information about the past, someone else is taking aim at our story line couple. Meanwhile, the young homeless woman known as Jade, continues to find herself in a perilous situation. Somehow connected to the Benedict family, Jade will come in and out of their lives until the day new information comes to light, revealing the truth.

The world building continues to focus on the Benedict family, the death of their parents, and the connections to Tilly Brock and the man who has been blamed for destroying their lives. Bea Jacobs has fallen in love with Knox Benedict but her love may be what destroys them all.

The relationship between Bea and Knox is one of secrets. The family is more or less unaware of Bea and Knox’s relationship, a relationship that is much more than what is appears on the surface. Bea struggles to keep her distance but separation and love threaten them both. The $ex scenes are intimate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include Knox’s brothers Keaton and Tilly (Perilous Kiss), Kipling; housekeeper Maggie, security Tom, as well as a Bea’s client Jade Mann.

SEDUCTIVE LIES is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive ; the characters are dynamic and desperate. SEDUCTIVE LIES ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

I thought that this was a really good story and it was a thoroughly enjoyable read

The plot was well developed and it was romantic and sexy.

It was well written with a great pace to keep you engaged with the story, there were a few areas where it was a little disjointed in places but that didn’t spoil the book.

It is 4 stars from me for this one, highly recommended but it does leave you wanting book 3!

I received this book from NetGalley and the publishers to read and review. All statements above are my true
opinions after fully reading this book. This was a quick & enjoyable read!

Seductive Lies is the second book in The Benedict Brothers trilogy by Tara Sue Me. This is the a book formerly published as Deadly Secrets. This book is about Knox and Bea. Bea was beaten and warned that she had to stay away from Knox if she wanted him to stay safe, but she won't tell why. Knox is determined to find out. Knox and Bea also had secret from everyone else. They had been investigating information on Mr. Brock's alleged embezzlement. The book was a great continuation from the first book in the series. In addition to their own relationship, Bea and Knox worked with the rest of the Benedicts on the questions surrounding Tilly's father and the other strange information that they discovered. As they get closer, it gets more dangerous,. I really enjoyed this secret relationship romantic suspense novel. It was witty and fun and full of action. The chemistry between the couple was super hot and the emotion bled through. I would definitely recommend it for lovers of romantic suspense such as Rebecca Zanetti or Linda Howard. I am voluntarily submitting this honest review after reading an advanced complementary copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and Booksgosocial.

Knox Benedict asked Bea Jacobs to look into old files but she didn't think there was anything till someone warned her to stay away from the Benedicts after nearly beating her to death. She continues digging but her first priority is keeping the love of her life safe by staying away from him.

This book had it all. Emotion, mystery and betrayal. Well written and kept me reading until I finished. Knox and Bea are a fantastic couple, and the brothers are awesome.

This is the second novel in Tara Sue Me’s Benedict Brothers Series. It can be read as either a standalone novel or as part of the series of three. If you read all three though to the end you get to read about a larger intriguing being solved.
This book covers all genres, romance, mystery, suspense and of course lots of steamy sex.
Set in Charleston, North Carolina, this novel focuses upon the eldest brother, Knox, who hires Bea Jacobs, a lawyer (who is also his secretly estranged wife) to investigate some old business files.
Bea has recently been attacked by an unknown assailant and is suffering from PTSD which is why she separated from Knox. He is devastated and continues to watch over and protect her as her stalker has returned.
Written from both the MCs point of view I didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Although it s stated that it can be read as a standalone novel, her assailant doesn’t get identified in this one and they get married in the first. The novels are too interlinked to be read separately. Maybe if they were published as a trilogy it would work better. It is a well written book. Just not my favourite.

This was the first book I read from the series (although its the second book) and I am a huge huge romantic suspense fan when it’s written well. This book was well laid out though I did feel I missed a little of the back story since I skipped book one. The romance aspect was very good, spice was also good. The suspense was well thought out and portrayed. I would definitely read more books from this author!

This next instalment of the The Benedict Brothers series was just as good (if not better) as the first. These brothers just pull you in so much! With the way the author delivers information to the reader is causes the reader to find out things before the characters do. the anticipation for when the characters find out and how they will react is palpable. I also like that while each book focuses on an individual brother, you still see some of the build up of the other relationships. The amount of slow burn for the oldest brother and the cop is intense! If they don't even explore any type of relationship together, I might just cry.

This book was hot and steamy. One of the best books I have read so far. Definitely a 5 star must read. Love the characters.

I loved this. And I loved that each book can be read alone but there is a bigger mystery and you won't find out until the last book! That's genius! I was totally absorbed in this and I cannot wait for book three.
I just reviewed Seductive Lies by Tara Sue Me. #SeductiveLies #NetGalley

I wanna start this by saying that because I hadn’t read the first book I felt I was at a disadvantage. So if you’re going to read this book I can’t recommend enough that you read the first on before this one. Having said this, I really enjoyed Knox and Bea’s relationship and the chemistry that they share. Even though there’s so much happening around them that may be dangerous, he always tries to protect her as much as he possibly can, even when she proves she can do it by herself.

I loved the secret marriage aspect as well as all the suspense that happens throughout the book. So if you’re looking for a dark romance with lots of suspense around it, this is the book to read.

Another Sinfully Sexy and Mysterious Book for the Win!

Seductive Lies is the 2nd installment in the Benedict Brothers series. I would definitely recommend reading the series in order, since having started with this book, I felt like I was missing a lot of background info. As the blurb mentions, the suspense part is not resolved and so the book ends in a cliffhanger. I missed the feeling of romance between Knox and Bea. It is more a re-uniting of lovers separated by a misconception, resulting in some steamy scenes and a HFN.

I enjoyed the story and excitement of the mystery behind the murders plaguing the Benedict family.

I would rate this 1/5 🌶️. Not much for spice. The spicy scenes were well written but a bit vanilla for my taste. If you want an interesting book that keeps you wondering what's going to happen next this might be the book for you
