Publisher's Summary

Katie Perkins lives a simple life. She takes care of her son, works hard, and tries not to worry about the man-shaped hole in her life. That is, until she wins a fantastic luxury holiday. Throwing caution to the wind, Katie lets down her hair, and the holiday mood takes over.

Enter Jackson Quinn, a handsome doctor who is no stranger to the good life.

Katie has no experience of riches, and with only her bus fare home in her pocket, she decides there’s no harm in a few white lies. Filthy rich? Check. Size ten? Check. Olympic gymnast who can complete a Rubik’s cube in under 30 seconds? Check. After all, it’s not like she’s ever going to see Doctor Quinn again.

Follow Katie’s hilarious journey as she learns that sometimes those little white lies really can come back and bite you on the butt.

This stand-alone romantic comedy has a happy ending, no cliff-hanger, and can also be enjoyed as part of The Power of Ten series.

Please note: It is best suited for listeners over the age of 18 due to sexual themes and mature content.

So much fun and so much feels

5 perfect stars! I loved this book even more than the first. When Katie wins an exotic vacation she meets a yummy doctor on the plane and decides to embellish her life with 10 little lies figuring she will never see him again. To her surprise a while later he stumbles into her little town for a temporary assignment and hilarity ensues when she tries to keep up
With her lies. It’s laugh out loud funny but also packs the romance and the feels. It was the perfect combination. The narrator also did an excellent job with the different voices and british accent. I’d love this whole series to be turned into movies.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are absolutely my own. This book is worth the credit anyway.

Funny

Funny well written love story. Full of British humour.
Well created characters.
How to unwind the lies you told some guy you meet and thought you would never see him again.
I had great time listening to the book. I hope you will enjoy it too.

2☆ - I didn't really care for this book.
1☆ - I did not like this book at all and probably did not finish it.

The Laughs in This Series Continue

I thoroughly enjoy The Power of Ten series and 10 Lies is no exception. Emily James manages to put her characters into the most entertaining situations and makes their issues laugh out loud funny. Her humor is spot on and her writing and characters are well developed and fun to read.
Poor Katie has been pitied around town as "the widow" while she raises her young son. Winning a once in a lifetime trip she meets an attractive doctor on the plane and with each glass of champagne her life becomes more interesting. A week of fun and sun and she never expects to see Jackson again, until he shows up in her village as the temporary doctor and her little white lies begin to unravel.
Jackson not only falls for Katie but her young son, Barry. And while Katie enlists the help of her friends to cover up her fibs, she is also creative in solving Barry's problems by appropriate phone calls to department who handle little boy troubles. I loved the genuine emotion Jackson showed to both Katie and Barry and I was rooting for the couple to make things work, but in true fashion the course of true love never runs true.
I listened to this book and found Kim Bretton had a great understanding of the characters and voiced each character distinctly and portrayed their emotions well. Her narration pulled me into the story and I found myself having a difficult time stopping to do real life things. Grab a cup of tea and your e-reader or earbuds and enjoy this story and the entire The Power of Ten series.

Love this book

Emily James is great! Love these 3 books.
Romance novels are somewhat predictable, but the characters are sweet.

10 Lies

Katie wins a vacation of a lifetime, so why not be whoever you want. These people will never see you again. That is until her lie follows her home. Can't a woman just have some no consequence fun for one time? Katie's journey with the wonderful Dr. turns out to be so much fun. The story is a blast to listen to and will keep you laughing until the end. The narration is perfect for this series and works so well.

LOL Love Story

Book 3 in the Power of Ten series is just as funny and heartwarming as the first two. Emily James has such a great way of hitting you with laugh out loud lines throughout the book as well as pulling at your heartstrings. In this story, Katie Perkins, who won a trip to Antigua in Book 2, comes back to her simple life after having a glorious holiday with a man she met on the plane. During their time together, she fibbed a bit, 10 times to be exact, thinking she would never see this man again and her island fling was just that, a fling. When the man she met, Jackson Quinn, shows up in town as the fill-in doctor, her life becomes one of trying to live up to the lies she told just to save face. The end result is a fun and enjoyable journey of falling in love.

Kim Bretton, who has narrated the other two books in the series, is fantastic in her role in this one. I can't imagine a better voice to carry these stories. She does such a good job with the character and bringing life to them throughout.

While the story can be listened to individually, I highly recommend listening to all of the stories in this series in order. You will not be disappointed in any of them.

I was provided with a free copy of this audiobook from the author in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

Beautiful Little Story

What a lovely little story, when I say "Little Story" I am not minimalising it.
It really was a fun, heartwarming tale of Love, Fun, Sex and Emotion. The Sex is not gratuitous or overpowering, and does not form the basis of the story, its a love story so Sex will happen. The Characters are likeable and it is very enjoyable. Kim Bretton does Her usual excellent job of narration. I listened over two nights, I didn't want to turn it off. Some people will say its too light but that would be "Book Snobbery". I was entertained, had fun and to Me that counts for an awful lot. Lovely little book.

Wonderful and funny!

With a heartwarming, witty story, Ten Lies had me completely entranced. This well written tale of the sweet Katie and the delicious Jackson is perfectly told by the talented Kim Bretton. I cannot recommend this audio enough! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

I loved it

10 Lies is the 3rd book in the Power of Ten series and I absolutely loved it. This comedy of errors had me laughing non-stop but it was also heart-warming and at times emotional. Katie and Jackson had intense chemistry and their story will keep you invested as they were both relatable and very likable. There was an extended cast of secondary characters who all provided balance and support to the story and I loved seeing the characters from the previous books make an appearance. This was an excellent addition to this series and I enjoyed every moment. I would highly recommend it to all lovers of romantic comedies.
I listened to the audible version of this novel. It was narrated by Kim Bretton who did a fantastic job portraying these characters and projecting their emotion and passions. I loved her voice and it was a pleasure listening to her narrate this novel.

Great addition to the series

It’s a comedy of errors when Katie meets Jackson while on a trip but decides to, uh, slightly exaggerate all parts of her life (hence the title). When Jackson turns up in her town serendipitously, Katie has to figure out how to keep him from finding out how much she lied. Katie’s mental process is hilarious but also funny is how her friends “help” her by lying for her, even though she doesn’t want them to. The whole town is very loyal, if slightly crazy (in a perfect sort of way) and way too funny. Another great book in the series and a fun way to spend a few hours, as we laugh our way through to Katie and Jackson’s HEA.

I requested and received the audiobook from the author and I borrowed the ebook from KU. The narrator, Kim Bretton, is awesome in how she represents the slightly crazy character of the different people in this story. This is the third book in the series and she’s the narrator of all the stories and she just gets better.

Laugh Until It Hurts!!

This book is so amazing. I laughed so hard and I was feeling second-hand embarrassment for Katie at times. I love that the characters are loveable and relatable. Also, love that we get to see old characters for passed books, as well as new characters and the narration just brings it all to life. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves a good laugh and romance. Emily James is fast becoming a favorite author of mine.
