    About this audiobook

    FBI Special Agent Samantha Kennedy is haunted by her memories of the serial killer who abducted her. To keep the darkness at bay, she pretends to be a different, more confident woman. This Samantha doesn't fear every unknown face. So she throws caution to the wind and shares a night of unbridled passion with a handsome stranger.

    One night isn't enough for successful entrepreneur Max Ridgeway. He wants more of the sexy, smart, mysterious woman who slipped away before dawn. When they meet again, their attraction is undeniable-until his stepbrother goes missing, and Max realizes that Samantha isn't who she seems. But they must trust each other to trap a ring of bloodthirsty kidnappers before the nightmares that terrorize Sam become irrevocably real.

      Deadly Lies by Cynthia Eden
      Book #3 in the Deadly Trilogy
      4 Stars

      Synopsis: FBI Agent Samantha Kennedy has faced her worst fear and survived, barely. As a means of coping with her ordeal, she spends one night of passion with a perfect stranger, Max Ridgeway. However, the two soon find themselves embroiled in the deadly web of vicious kidnapper/killer, and must learn to trust each other or lose everything they have fought for.

      Review: The premise of a serial kidnapper escalating into a sadistic murderer is compelling and original. My only problem with the plot development is that if the reader is paying attention, the identity of the evil mastermind is obvious quite early on.
      Max and Sam share a sizzling hot chemistry and each is engaging in their own way. Max, the seemingly perfect man, possesses many flaws but these cannot obscure the fundamental core of goodness and integrity that shine through in the darkest of moments. The combination of Sam’s resilience and vulnerability make her an incredibly appealing character.

      Recommendation: A great end to a highly enjoyable series.
    • 4/5
      I jumped right from Deadly Heat into this one. So it almost seemed as if it was just an "extension" to the other book. The story line is different, but the characters are from the first two in the series. So by the time I made it to this third book I was so familiar with them that it was as if I really knew who they were and how they operated. This book follows Samantha, who has some serious problems in the first book. But she's dealing and is back to do what she can to help her team. I really connected with Samantha. She's very smart, and although she's a bit timid at times she can be strong when she needs to. She kind of reminds me of myself. While I like the rest of the characters in the series, and both of the previous books were really good I have to say that this is my favorite so far. I've become kind of attached to these characters and I really hope that Eden keeps this series going. It can be a bit difficult to read, as (I've said before) Eden's ability to get inside the head of the killer is a bit creepy. But the writing is great and the story keeps you guessing. With this one I thought I had it figured out, boy was I wrong! A review copy of this book was provided by the publisher. This is not a paid review and is a truthful and honest review.
    • 5/5
      Do yourself a favour and read Deadly Fear before you read this one. While Deadly Lies could easily stand up on its own, the traumatic incident at the heart of heroine Samantha Kennedy’s story took place in the first book of the series.I’ve loved every instalment of Cynthia Eden’s dark, twisted and romantic ‘Deadly’ series. She writes fantastic romantic suspense and never shies away from the deeper, darker aspects of her stories. If the bad guys make threats you can be guaranteed they mean them. This isn’t prettied-up suspense just so we can read about the relationships, and it’s so much better for that.This one’s a little different to the first two in the series, as the hero, Max Ridgeway, is not a member of the FBI’s elite team for catching serials (killers, rapists, arsonists). Sam is an FBI agent, but more at home working at a desk than in the field. In the first book a killer who preyed upon people’s worst fears got his hands on her, and when she first meets up with Max her plan is for nothing more than casual sex in an attempt to recapture her confidence.However from the outset it’s about more than that for both of them. They’re forced to stick together after Max’s stepbrother becomes one of a string of young men with rich fathers who are kidnapped for colossal ransoms.As with Eden’s other books you never know quite what is going to happen next. She doesn’t play it safe, and there are twists and turns up until the very end. And boy does she ever love beating up her characters!Another small but significant thing was that the heroine wore glasses/contacts. I was only recently wondering why all heroes and heroines come with 20/20 vision, when in reality there’re heaps upon heaps of people who don’t. Now we just need the occasional hero with glasses and the world will be perfect!I felt the author did a good job of pulling off the relationship development during a time where the characters were traumatised and under great pressure. It’s hard to know when it’s ‘appropriate’ for characters to get together when so many things are going wrong. Maybe once or twice it felt a little forced for the relationship to come into focus.Luke and Monica from book one have fairly prominent roles in this one, which is another reason I’d recommend you read their story first.I haven’t been disappointed by this series, and every ‘Deadly’ book has been a five star read for me. Cynthia Eden is one of the best romantic suspense writers you’ll find.
