Publisher's Summary

It was only meant to be a vacation fling....

Three blissful weeks on the beautiful island of Maui are exactly what I need.... Hula dancers, Mai Tais with cocktail umbrellas, and golden beaches - what more could I want?

Then I see her, and I realize she’s exactly what I want.

She was locked outside of her hotel room, all buttoned-up in a suit definitely not appropriate for a vacation, and wearing a fierce take-no-shit stance. But I couldn’t help noticing the pain behind her eyes....

Four Mai Tais later, the chemistry between us is hotter than the Hawaiian sun, and we decide to spend the rest of our vacation unwinding, undressing, and getting to know each other a little better....

We have just two rules:

1) No talking about our lives outside Maui.
2) This is just a vacation fling.

That means I can’t tell her about the heartbreak that haunts me, and the secret I have back home. It means I can’t ask her about the sorrow in her eyes, and why she has such a wall up - a wall I’m determined to bring crashing down.

When the sun sets on our trip, can I say goodbye to this gorgeous blue-eyed beauty? Or am I going to be tempted to break the rules?

And if I do decide to be a rule-breaker, will she even want me when she finds out who I really am?

This is a full-length, standalone romance with some hot-under-the-collar action, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA. For fans of R.S Grey, Whitney G., and Vi Keeland, Accidental Lies features a hot AF alpha and a sizzling will-they-wont-they love story that will have you totally addicted!

Terrific Story & Listen🎧 4.5 Enjoyable Stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is my first book by Dana Mason and I enjoyed everything about it, from her writing style to the characters and storylines she created. The book captured my attention right from the start and held it straight to the end. The characters are complex and well developed, I liked both leads, each were dealing with their own heartbreaks and issues. Emily’s brother sends her on a much needed vacation, it has been four years without her husband, she only buried herself in work and has not moved on. She did not have high hopes for the vacation but decided to make the best of it. Especially after seeing the hunk of a guy who helped her when she locked herself out of her room. Drew is on his annual vacation and staying across form Emily, he felt an instant attraction to her but it was not until the next day when the two got to know each other better. I loved the chemistry between them, they agree on a no questions asked vacation fling. A smoking hot fling. He leaves before her but because of their no questions no expectations they do not exchange personal information. Something each regret right away and when they arrive home they try to track each other down. I liked how they wind up meeting up again, how each wound up holding back because of they were afraid to share things and their insecurities. Their half-truths and omissions caused a lot of drama and angst. They were so good together, they just needed to believe in themselves and each other and let it all work out. Thank you Dana Mason for this great, romantic story and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

I listened to the Audible edition, Kelsey Navarro is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. She brings these characters to life, gives each their own voice and personality. She does a great job projecting the emotions of the characters and the drama of the story into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

Second Chance RomCom

I am so glad we got to hear Emily’s story! I kind of wanted to shake her in Accidental Groom but I appreciate her so much more in this. I think this is a really solid rom com. It’s hitting all the sweet spots. Hot, damaged people, a meet cute, chemistry galore and a happy ending. It’s quite simply a dreamy listen.

The narration is awesome!

Unpredictable, Exciting and Steamy

One of the best books of Dana Mason. I had several surprises until near the end. It also had heart, I laughed and cried with the characters.

A perfect Summer romance

Emily is forced to take a vacation in beautiful Hawaii. She has been a workaholic and regrets it, but does not know how else to keep busy now. Drew is a single dad who goes to this resort once a year. Both of them are widowed and facing demons, they do not share easy. Yet Drew seems to constantly be rescuing Emily. It is as if fate wants them together. They should know better than to fight fate. As a reader, you know more about the characters. I found myself yelling at them for one thing or another. I love how they are so different from the deceased spouses, yet perfect for each other at this time in their lives. But will it all collapse, when they realize the lies that have been told? I loved every word of this book. I could not stop listening and finished it in one day.

Kelsey Navarro brought this story to life. She has an easy to listen to voice and made the narration enjoyable. Her separation of the charater tones was easy to follow and smooth. Male characters were easy to tell.from female characters. Bringing out Emily's attitudes was perfect by Ms. Navarro. This is my first narration with Ms. Navarro. I hope to hear more from her.

Fabulous Read

Title: Accidental Lies
Author: Dana Mason
Format: Audio
Narrator: Kelsey Navarro
Genre: Romance - Contemporary
Standalone: yes
Part of a Series: Yes Book 2 of the Accidental Love
POV: Emily and Drew
Stem Level: slow burn to toasty
5/5

This is the second book I've read by Dana Mason and the second I've become addicted to and binge listened. We met Emily in Book 1: Accidental Groom but you don't need to have to read it to understand/follow this book. Accidental Lies, while a fun read/listen, also dealt with the emotional issues of loss and moving on. I hope to read more Dana Mason and Accidental Love in the future.

I received this audiobook for free. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Perfect Ending to the Series

Loved that this was homey and down to earth! This is a very visual book abt two loves who lost their first love and find a second chance with perfect families! Narrators were amazing in catching all the right feels!

Annoying heroine, boring sex scenes

The heroine was boring at best, Infuriating at worst. She was selfish and neurotic, assumed the worst about everybody, and was just generally a very frustrating person. Her boyfriend bent over backwards for her and she continually hurt his feelings and was disrespectful. The claim that he would love her is ludicrous. Most men would rate her crazy at a 10/10 and run the other way.

Fun

Loved how our characters meet on vacation as strangers. This is definitely an insta love type story, but our characters seem to have a lot in common. Its a fun and easy listen with a couple of steamy scenes thrown in the mix. Predictable ending but I enjoyed listening as our characters figure out where they went wrong and navigate to a happy ending.

Fabulous narration, definitely did a great job acting and changing voices to distinguish each character's internal and external dialogues.

Good story

Drew and Emily meet in Maui. Emily’s brother sent her to Maui for a much needed vacation , and Drew vacations there yearly. They meet, decided to have a no question asked fling. Nether want to say good bye, but they do. Emily is a lawyer, her and her partner need work done to there building and drew happens to be there carpenter. Both Emily and drew have sad past, but find comfort in each other. If your looking for a romance that is sweet, some angst and heat then I would recommend accidental lies. The story line is good, and we do get a hea!

I loved this story because this is a story of fate. If you love a great fated love story then this is the book for you. This is book 2 in the series but it is a standalone. Both books are great reads!

Enjoyable

I like the story but at times I find the lack of communication annoying, I would have liked to see other challenges they meet And conquer on their way to happiness. But I mostly enjoyed it.
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Lots of dialogues
Good chemistry between Emily and Drew that developed in to more intense feelings

Narrator
Clear pronunciation and read with feelings. This is a narrator that also masters the male characters voices.

5 stars overall

A Moving & Emotional Romance

Another wonderful book by Dana Mason! This one has so much heart and emotion! It's full of steam & sexytimes but also a lot of angst! Half truths and omissions drove me a little crazy but I was wanted in the title! Lol
Kelsey does a splendid narration! Thank you so much to #audiobookobsessions

VACATION FLING!

This is my second book from this author, and as well as the first I listened from her, I also enjoyed this one.

It has a great begging, with the amazing chemistry between Emily and Drew, and all the wonderful things they did at Maui.

It's great how they have their rules and expectations but life had other things planned from them and so, they'll have to figure some things out and make some decisions.

Overall it was a good and light listen and I really enjoyed it.

 KELSEY NAVARRO! Her narration was so good, I'm loving her voice more and more each time, she doesn't disappoint.

Sweet, with two tender hearts that are cautious.
Dana Mason’s writing style is one that grabs you, has lots of emotion and holds your interest from beginning to end.
Kelsey did a fantastic job telling how Emily and Drew may have missed out on a second chance at Love.

Accidental Lies Catch Up with You...

You meet someone on a Hawaiian Islands and the two of you agree that outside of your first names you don't tell each other anything else about yourself. The two of you just enjoy the week together, and NO mentioning of your life back home.

Well that sounds all good to me, until the end of the week arrives. One of you wants to change the rule and exchange mobile number or addresses and she's comfortable with the the initiation agreement.

Accidental lies is about the discovery of one lie after another. There's exciting secrets revealed and a new family is made.

The author Dana Mason did a wonderful job with the storyline. the narrator Kelsey Navarro did an awesome job telling the story. If you haven't read "Accidental Groom" prior to reading this book, you may want to go back and read it 1st. Although, this novel would be considered an standalone, it helps with some of the characters in this book that are introduced in that one.

#AudiobookObsessionReviewGroup🎧

ok,

Narrator has a very irritating voice.
Story a bit farfetched. I would not recommend it.

Accidental Lies

What starts out as a vacation fling turns into so much more! These 2 are single in paradise not looking to take anything home. But as time progresses the fall for each other fast. He knows way before she does and tries to change her mind. Sadly she blames him for keeping to the rules she insisted on. I like that the book brings in the characters from book one even if it is only a little. Fun fast paced story. The narration brings the story to life and was easy to listen to. Thanks Audiobook Obsession for the recommendation.

3.5

an ok story. found it a little slow in places. narrator was good which is a bonus!

great book

This book was pretty interesting. The setting seemed idyllic. The characters were richly described. The story was well written. The narration was done well, and truly matched the story. Experiencing this book was a lot of fun. The story line is one of my preferred romance tropes, and the story went by pretty fast. Kelsey Navarro did a great job with the narration, and made the characters come to life for me. great read, great book, great listen.
