Publisher's Summary

She thinks she’s fooled me. But I’ve known all along.

Almost.

Lily is hiding something, a secret so big, she came out of a year-long coma and her first instinct was to lie.

Who does that? Someone who is afraid. No - not afraid.

Terrified. And it’s my job to take that fear away.

My partner and I have spent countless man-hours hunting down the cold-blooded killer who did this to her. Meanwhile, Lily’s spent her waking hours recovering. Getting stronger. Getting smarter.

Staying beautiful.

Never get involved emotionally. That’s my dictate. Never get attached.

When you realize you’re caught in a triangle, it turns out there is no exit.

Crossing a line is easy. Holding a line takes strength.

Lily’s shooter knows that she’s my weakness.

And he’s about to exploit that by breaking a line and escaping, claiming a hostage in the process.

One I have to get back.

No matter what it takes.

False Hope is Book 2 in the False trilogy by USA Today best-selling author Meli Raine.

Great book series.

The first book was a whirlwind of events. This book cleared up some of the questions. Can't wait for the conclusion in the final book.

Just as good as the first book to this series!

Before I go any further, be aware, you MUST listen to this series in order!
I love that the story continues to build in book two of the False series.
Giving some clues away, but not enough to get the whole picture yet.
Not your typical romance book, you will quickly get hooked on this series! Highly recommend!
As always, excellent narration by Sebastian York!

The evil has been recognized and the tension hits a high note. This series is so addictive! The twists and turns carry me along as questions are answered and others arise.

OMG!!! SO MANY TWISTS AND TURNS!!!

I'm really enjoying this series. The story of Duff and Lily continues as told by Duff. The thrill ride of this series continues. Loved it and moving on to the final book in the trilogy.

The mystery continues

This is book two and we continue on the quest to find the truth of who shot Lili and why and we learn more of who Duff is and what his motives have been. Great story and can't wait to listen to the last book to see what happens.

Sebastian York was perfect as Duff. Love his voice.

Great continuation from the first book!

This installment picked up seamlessly from the first. I especially enjoyed the fact that this was told from ”Duff’s” perspective. There are still a lot of questions, but I’m certain the final book will wrap it up perfectly. The suspense in this book was off the charts. And, I honestly still do not know who to trust. Well done!!

High-powered Intrigue

Book 2; Lily and Duff fight to stay ahead of the "bad guys" who chase them with the precision. More characters come into the story line which adds further dimension(s) and opportunities for the twists, turns, deceits and double-crosses. The 2 narrators do and excellent job of adding texture to the dialog, alternating the first-person from Lily to Duff and vice-versa. And thankfully, far less internal dialogue occurs with the key players. Only warning; this ends in a cliff-hanger which will have you buying Book 3 ASAP!

Contemporary Conspiracy Thriller

Part 2 of the 'False' trilogy, False Hope, is a contemporary conspiracy suspense thriller.

This audiobook picked up immediately from where part 1 finished from a cliffhanger ending, with Lily again in peril. Darker forces are now starting to be suspected of the original murder attempt. Duff - one of Lily's bodyguards - begins to unravel the truth around her situation, and this book is told from his pov. As the story moves forward, we begin to see shadowy stateless operatives playing a major part in Lily's past, present and future. All quite nail-biting and gripping.

There was plenty of tension throughout this audiobook, as gradually more and more layers were unwrapped. The story built up continually, with another surprising cliffhanger to conclude. I very much enjoyed Sebastian York's narration.

The story continues

The second part of the book continues where it left off in book one. There isn't as much tension in this installment but there are a couple of suspenseful scenes. There is quite a lot of back story that must have been part of an earlier series and it was a lot of information to take in when none of the characters referred to have any presence in this current story.
This one ended in a cliff hanger so I'm looking forward to downloading the last part.
I voluntarily reviewed a review copy.

Wow

Powerful, strong and compelling are the first words that spring to mind after this one. The story is one that will keep all your attention til the last page and that cliff hanger has me rushing off to grab the next one

GASP!!!

A jaw-dropping sequel given in Duff's POV. Plenty of action and romance. With its staggering cliffhanger I can't wait to listen to the concluding story. Would give it 10 stars if possible.
