Thrilled to be back on the road with A.K. Evans!

Graham and Kit met at the perfect time for both of them, even if it took them a while to realize it. They're both coming off traumatic relationships, Kit finding out the man she was with of years was married and Graham from a divorce, and think a one night stand is the perfect way to feel something other than pain.

Their one night stands is hot and heavy and turns into many more nights. Kit realizes she's not cut out for the hookup scene as she begins to develop feelings for a man she barely knows, while Graham has convinced himself hooking up with his Kit Kat is all in good fun and he can stop whenever he's ready.

Months go by and as Kat starts to push Graham shuts down. It took him losing her for him to realize that she had become so much more to him than a hook up. Them finally getting on the same page brought out the sweet side of Graham and I loved him even more for how great he ended up being for Kat. She was exactly the woman Graham needed and their HEA made my heart beat overtime.

Aaron Shedlock and Kit Swann were incredible as Graham & Kit! I absolutely loved their storytelling and how they brought this couple to life.

Very angsty

I think I really enjoyed listening to this book. Aaron Shedlock just really got me with that voice! This is my second book listening to in this series, I’ve normally only listened to her suspense novels. I really enjoyed it. This book is definitely about two hurt individuals trying to just survive life and feel something good. A lot of angst. Try it like I did, a enjoyable listen

Angsty & Heartful Love!

Web of Lies is an angsty and heartful love story with some fascinating twists, great drama, and main characters who totally deserve their HEA. Kat and Graham were each put through the wringer in a past relationship, and it’s interesting to see how they choose to navigate their emotions and circumstances moving forward. Kat is dynamic and bold in her choices, though completely off base in a lot of the narratives she writes in her own head. It’s clear her self-esteem is at rock bottom, but she is brave in that she is willing to take a chance again, but she doesn’t always listen very well. Graham appears to be better at hiding his emotions, and it’s fun to see how his behavior comes out around his employees and with his friends. The bar scene at the beginning is awesome, and I absolutely love how Graham’s coworkers and best friend help him to shift his perspective.
The narrators did an amazing job of highlighting the angst, pain, joy, and everything in between with their knockout performances. I loved listening to this audiobook—it brought a well-written novel to the next level for me.

When a web of lies leaves you wary

This review is not easy for me to write, but I will do my best to do this story justice. If your situationship did not end in HEA, maybe this book is not for you. If you like to escape reality and enjoy happy endings regardless of your real life situation, keep reading.

You see, Kat Ramsey was engaged. She was set to marry this guy only to find out he was married with children. What the heck?!?! Determined to get over him, Kat set out to do something out of the ordinary. If a committed relationship left her bereft, maybe a one night stand would be better. After that one night, she and Graham Stephenson exchange numbers and so ensues meet ups. It's all Graham wants any way after his divorce is finalized. They don't exchange any personal information, but after running into Graham in her area, she thinks maybe she should know a little more. But Graham is resistant.

Now, some parts of this story was painful for me, but this is not about me. If it weren't for narrators Kit Swann and Aaron Shedlock, I may not have had the wherewithal to finish listening. But, Kit and Aaron brought this special something to the story. They picked up on the emotions of the characters. The subtle nuances. The hidden feelings. The love between two people who were fractured, but not broken.

So, bring me a story written by AK and couple it with stellar narrators Kit and Aaron and I was able to escape my reality.

I received a complimentary copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

One night or forever?

One night of fun was all it was supposed to be for Kat & Graham, but oh how I loved seeing it become so much more. No two people deserved a HEA as much as these two did. The heartbreak and healing in this story were so heartwarming to see unfold. Graham tried so hard to keep the "one night" mindset, but Kat was breaking down his walls each and every encounter despite her fears that what she was feeling was completely one-sided. Road trip series has always been one of my favorites and this book didn't disappoint. The narrators truly bring the feelings to life with their amazing performance. I am already so ready for the next in this wonderful series. Where will Evans take us next?!

A journey a lot like real life

Graham and Kat take a journey that feels a lot like real life. Both dealing with heartbreak and betrayal that leaves them wanting nothing to do with another relationship, they cross paths and have to reconcile that maybe their perfect person does exist, if they'll only take the chance. The broken path takes them to an HEA with narrators bringing the characters to life.

Kat and Graham caught in a web of lies

Web of Lies was a perfect addition to the Road Trip series. In Rhode Island, Kat and Graham begin hooking up with no strings attached. One night turned into more "to get it out of their system" as their feelings for one another grew. Soon, their reasons for not dating because of webs of lies became more lies to themselves as they fought to not commit to each other. I love how A.K. Evans wove this story, navigating through painful pasts and making awkward first steps to change their status. Aaron Shedlock nailed the narration. While I like Kitt Swan's narration most of the time, she seemed a bit too whiny or dramatic, might be a better word, for Kat.

What a Journey!!!

AK Evans takes us on a journey filled with pain and joy with this book!

Aaron Shedlock and Kit Swann were perfect for this story! Aaron hasn’t done a story that he can’t portray the character’s role exactly as the author writes it and Kit Swann, the same way! I love these two narrators together and they did an incredible job as Graham and Kat!

Web of Lies gives us Graham and Kat. Both hurt from past experiences and neither one ready to find love again, well until now.

Both thinking a one-night stand will stop the craving, only physical nothing emotional. But they were so wrong!!

Such an incredible story and heartbreaking but in the end they both find a way to heal not only themselves but each other.
