The Lair

By: Lisina Coney

Narrated by: Angelina Rocca, Stephen Borne

Allie Smith is a liar.

For starters, her name isn't Smith—but it sounds common enough to hide her real identity. And with a new haircut and some hair dye, no one will recognize her on the other side of the country. Or so she hopes.

Years after running away from home and the memories of her kidnapping, Allie finds her footing again in a small town in Maine. She has a safe roof over her head, freedom, and a job she loves at The Lair—a local bar managed by a stoic, protective ex-Navy SEAL who makes her heart beat faster than it should.

But the internet never forgets, and Allie's parents made sure her most vulnerable years were broadcast for millions to see. When her past resurfaces and her true identity is at risk of being discovered, Allie finds that her growing crush on her older boss isn't her biggest problem after all.

The Lair is a romantic suspense novel that explores the consequences of overexposing children on the internet. Mixed with a slow-burning romance full of tension, it's perfect for listeners who enjoy grumpy x sunshine, age gap, and boss x employee romances. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.

Suspenseful but sweet!

Lisina is always giving us the grumpy fictional men of our dreams! Angelina and Stephen did an incredible job narrating!

Love it

Angelina Rocca I always love any book she is in and she did a beautiful job playing Allie. You can always tell when Angelina is giving her raw emotions to the character she is playing.

Stephen Borne he always does a great job in any book I listen to that he is in and he did an amazing job playing Travis.

I really enjoyed Allie & Travis story a lot.

This was a good reminder

Of the dangers of social media and allowing children to be involved, this was a good story.

It was ok

I love that the plot is bringing awareness to kids being exposed in social media through their parents, because they are influencers. The romance is very slow burn, they don’t get to do anything until the last few chapters.
