The Reed Rivers Trilogy: A Bundle of Books 1-3

By: Lauren Rowe

Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Jacob Morgan

Swallowing lies has never felt so good.

Reed freaking Rivers. I wouldn’t trust a word out of the arrogant music mogul’s mouth if his gold-plated tongue were notarized. The Man with the Midas Touch would say anything to get me into his bed, and I know it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want him to succeed.

The moment I laid eyes on Reed while he was speaking at an on-campus event I’d crashed, my body physically ached to feel his golden fingers—and tongue—all over me. Unfortunately, though, I can’t give into my powerful craving to jump Reed’s cocky bones. Not until I’ve figured out my best strategy with him . . .

Reed has something I want. Something my heart desires even more than my body craves one night with him. Reed assumes he’s running this game of seduction. He thinks he’s a thirty-four-year-old big cat on the prowl, and I’m a blushing twenty-one-year-old field mouse with stars in my eyes.

Yeah . . . no.

As Reed is about to find out, he’s not the only big cat on the hunt in this game of cat-and-mouse . . . .

The Reed Rivers Trilogy is a bundle of all three books of Reed and Georgina's scorching hot love story: BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR.

Expected this to be average - it was great entertainment!

Frankly, I have never purchased a box set where at least one or more of the books were a dud. Not true here! A sexy, fun, well done romp worth more than a credit!

The heroine has temper tantrums - all the time

The Narrators Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan are A+++. The story is interesting enough but the main female character Georgina vacillates between between smart and illogical, phycho and badass, She constantly has temper tantrums and contradicts herself. These scenes where the MFC misunderstands and/or misinterprets the motivations of the MMC seems to be a romance trope.

Reed freakin' Rivers! OBSESSED!

WOW, WOW, WOW! I started this trilogy & I didn't stop. I couldn't stop. For reals! These books were nothing what I expected & EVERYTHING I love in a great story! These were my very first books from Lauren Rowe & she's an author that I will actively seek out from now on! I loved her writing style, the plot twists that you don't see coming & the banter between these two characters is absolutely FIRE! You end up craving after these two!

The trilogy is made up of:
Bad Liar
Beautiful Liar
Beloved Liar

Every book picks right up from where the last one leaves off & that's why you zip right through these because Lauren knows how to grab the reader & snag their attention. The character development of these two MC's, Reed Rivers & Georgina Ricci is absolutely fantastic. It was so fun listening to them grow & watch them tackle the "big hurdles" blocking them in their lives. Their chemistry is electric & you are sucked into their stories right from the get-go!

Reed freakin' Rivers is a man among men. He could easily be mistaken for a real jerk, a cocky son of a gun, but there's nothing further from the truth. Lauren's writing shows off all of the wonderful qualities this man truly possesses, the good & the bad and the undeniable obsession he has over Georgie!

Georgina Ricci is young, somewhat naïve but she's got all the goods. She's gorgeous, an extremely talented journalist, fiesty, smart, strong, independent & keeps Reed on his toes & looking forward. He certainly meets his match in Georgie & this woman brings him to his knees, literally! She's fierce, ambitious & determined to write for her dream magazine, Dig A Little Deeper, an investigative magazine that exposes people & the awful things they keep hidden.

Reed is an extremely gifted, & successful record producer with an eye for finding talent that can make it big, almost instantly. He's also drop dead gorgeous & is known for his play boy ways. Georgie is an aspiring investigative journalist looking for a job after graduation. There's an instant attraction to each other, like almost obsessive, & it's clear these two want each other & bad!

Georgie gets a job but not with the magazine she wants. Instead, she's hired to write an expose for the magazine, Rock & Roll, featuring Reed Rivers & his hit band, Red Card Riot. Now that there's some forced proximity, things start to heat up🔥 and secrets start to come out of the woodwork. Georgie's got an amazing eye for investigative work & she wants answers to questions.

Reed is closed off to love but absolutely so gone for Georgie. Their story is filled with angst, desire & a chemistry that's totally explosive! The longer they spend time together, walls begin to crumble & they expose their secrets & burdens to one another. Their relationship goes from total obsessive lust to genuine love for one another. It happens naturally & is so flippin swoony! Reed is a man whose protective over his lady, friends & family and he's determined to do whatever it takes to keep them ALL safe! So many things happen in this story, not just in their own relationship but with the relationship with so many they know & I was glued to my earbuds in anticipation at what was going to happen next. Totally obsessed with these characters, the plot & the spice! These 3 books became my personality for a few days & I was so gone, hook, line & sinker. Reed truly is the "Man with the Midas touch."

🎧Let's talk narration...Jacob & Andi were absolutely perfect voicing these characters. I was so drawn into their narration & the story of their lives because of the perfect execution in their performances. Gah! I LOVED this audio! Jacob plays this cocky, arrogant man so well. At times you can't stand him but the more you find out about Reed, he transforms into a complete protective cinnamon role & Jacob just shines in roles like this! I found his arrogance so hot & sexy it was ridiculous & when he's voicing the quiet, tender moments with Georgie, I just literally melted. He voices several characters in this one & he's absolutely brilliant! Andi is the perfect person to voice this feisty, determined FMC. She snaps back at Reed, doesn't put up with his crap & shows her vulnerability to Reed. Andi NAILS all of this! Giving you every single emotion you want from flirty, to mad, to utterly gone for Reed. These two brought this amazing story to life. I was totally obsessed.

Despite their age difference, these two are perfect for each other & fit together so well. It's impossible not to fall in love with Reed Rivers. FACT! He's loyal & protective almost to a fault & this is what makes this man so dang attractive, but yes, he's so good looking, he "could make a woman's ovaries explode!"

I can't recommend these audios enough. These stories are gripping & addictive. These characters, the plot, the spice & real love story grabbed me & didn't let go. Add this to your TBR right now!

A really great story

This story is really great. Georgina drove me absolutely bonkers multiple times with her naive approach to reed, but she was also a complete bad ass for the majority of the book. I love that reed was so obsessed with her and willing to manipulate so much to get her. The spice was great! The story was entertaining and so good!

Such a sweet story!

I adore these books! Their relationship is so freaking sweet! The narrators nailed it, of course.. They are my 2 FAVE everrrr!!!!!

Loved!!!!

I loved this series so much I listened to it 2x back to back. The narrators are PERFECTION! This duo is GOLD!! Now listening to Josh & Kay’s series and not a fan of those narrators. It makes such a big difference!

Sweet storyline

The series was good enough to keep my ears binge listening. Reed goes from concrete to styrofoam. Swoon. Georgia and Reed are meant for each other. Need I say anything more than Jacob Morgan? One of my favorite narrators.

Very enjoyable

I always love these two narrators together. I really enjoyed the story, characters and of course, narration. Got slow in a few spots but overall a great listen

sweet romance w a little spice

narrators: 👍🏼🌶❤️💯
story: 😎🥹🤯❤️

Came for the voices JM 🥰 and AA
Stayed for the romcommy love between the fireballs
would have been cool to maybe add some songs from the River Records playlist!

A Little Too Much

I enjoyed this for the most part. It did run long. I feel like this could be 2 books rather than 3. I liked the FMC. She was strong, resilient, and funny. I feel like she was a good embodiment of a 22 year old woman trying to figure it out. The MMC was pretty arrogant and it got a bit over the top, but he had a number of redeeming qualities. Too many in my opinion.

My gripes: the ending was too much. I don’t like when just about everyone gets a redemption arc. Some people should stay bad, be jerks, or not likable. Everyone doesn’t get a happy ending. It got too sappy for me by the end.
