Lie with Me

Angels of Désirer, Book 2

De: D.L. Darby

Narrado por: Shiloh James, Caden Hart

Lenni

It was only supposed to be one night with a stranger I’d never see again.

I’m not the dating type.

Now, thanks to a little white lie we told that night, we’re pretending to be engaged for the sake of him saving face in front of his family.

The more time we spend together, the closer we get.

But I’m an Angel at Désirer—an exclusive adult club—my job is to be whatever men want me to be.

There’s no room for a relationship.

And with demons from my past still chasing me, the last thing I need is for a man like him to get tangled up with a woman like me.

It will only end badly.

Tripp

From the second I met her, I wondered what she tasted like.

When she left my bed the morning after we met without so much as a goodbye, she left her mark on my soul.

After running into each other again at our best friend’s engagement party, I can’t stay away.

Not even when I find out she sells her body for money at an exclusive New York sex club.

Instead, I make her a deal she can’t refuse—pretend to be engaged for a few months for a generous sum of cash, then we’ll go our separate ways.

Our charade of love isn’t real, but with every day that passes, the more I feel like it could be.

We’re good at selling our lies. Now, I want to make it the truth.

Lie With Me is the second book in the Angels of Désirer series, which is an interconnected stand-alone series. It can be listened to alone. This book deals with heavy themes and possibly triggering content. Please check the warnings.

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧Enthralling & Moving!

After listening to and loving the fantastic audiobook, the first book and start of D.L. Darby’s amazing “Angels of Désirer” series, I wanted more and to be back in the fabulous world she created. This second book of the series is Lenni and Tripp’s story, a story that is just as impressive as the first book, both having connections with the characters from that book, Jackson and Ginny, but that is not how they initially meet. Lenni is an Angel at Désirer, an exclusive adult club, and is a woman hiding from her past, a past that would have broken a weaker person, which she is not, because she is a survivor. Tripp is Jackson’s friend, and after running into a woman and ruining her dress, he wanted to make things right for her, and it was refreshing she did not know who he was. Neither shared their real name, but they enjoyed each other’s company, and after reading the awkwardness of him bumping into his ex, she played the role of his fiancé, which his ex bought. The two had crazy chemistry, and they ended up spending an unforgettable, steamy night together, but when Trip wakes up, she is gone. Wow, what a way to start a book, and after that we get to the heart of the story, and that is exactly what this story has, a lot of heart and a lot of heat. Call it fate, call it destiny, and with friends in common, they make their way back to each other, and it was great to watch them get to know each other, navigate a new relationship, obstacles and then fall for one another. Darby penned another cleverly plotted, multi-layered story with complex characters, and I loved watching it all unfold.Lenni had a tough upbringing, and hearing all she endured was gut-wrenching, and when her past comes back to haunt her, there was a twist I never saw coming. There is never a dull moment in this book, and the story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, twists and turns, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. D.L. Darby, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride, loved the “Pretty Woman” references too.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing audiobook production, Shiloh James and Caden Hart were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying. I loved how they took each role and owned it, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. James was a natural in Lenni’s role, showcasing all aspects of her personality through the years, from her vulnerabilities to her fierceness. Hart did the same in Tripp’s role and was just as amazing, embodying his personality completely. Both were fantastic at performing the roles of the side/secondary characters too. You could hear and feel how much heart they put into their performance, as they captured and conveyed all the characters’ emotions and their passion. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to, and their enthralling performance hooks you to the story.

"You make me feel like living, Tripp, when all I’ve done for so long is survive. I don’t want to tread water anymore. I want to swim."

♡D.L. Darby did it again! Five mother freaking stars & I devoured this book in one sitting because I physically couldn't stop listening! I laughed, I cried, & I swooned over this amazing story. Tripp & Lenni are the definition of couple goals! There is nothing that will stand in the way of them being there for one another as they work their way through Lenni's tragic past to their future. The grace Tripp gives to Lenni by allowing her to open up to him on her own time had me a blubbering mess & Lenni deserves the world.

The duet narration for this audiobook was jaw-dropping! Shiloh did a phenomenal job bringing Lenni our strong, caring, & independent FMC to life. Caden did an excellent job bringing Tripp our sweet, caring, patient MMC who wears his heart on his sleeve to life. The emotions Shiloh & Caden brought out in this performance gave me chills. This performance made you feel the emotions the characters were feeling right along with them!

I really enjoyed the way characters from book 1 continued their story into book 2 and I'm so excited to listen to the next one after that ending!♡

~As Always Happy Reading~
