Working in Hollywood meant Jessica Dawson was used to lying. As an assistant to one of the biggest agents in town, biting her tongue and spewing out sugarcoated untruths were an almost daily occurrence. But fabricating alternate realities never spilled into her personal life, until three months ago when she told the biggest lie of all.
While her dear gran lay on her deathbed, Jessica mentioned she’d met her soul mate. It had been Gran’s last wish to see all her grandkids settled down before she went to see Jesus. And as the only one still single, Jessica didn’t have the heart to disappoint her.
No one expected Gran to make a miraculous recovery.
Now, Gran was expecting to meet Jessica’s perfect man at her cousin’s wedding, which meant she needed to find a perfect man fast. Hiring a professional was the only solution.
Enter Dave Larsson, younger brother to one of Hollywood’s elite.
Sexy, funny and just as smoldering hot as his super-famous sibling—he had talent and charm to spare. But most importantly, he was affordable and available.
All she needed to do was haul Dave home, have him meet Gran and the family, then shortly after the wedding, “break up” with him.
It was either that, or admit to her #1 Lie.
Only thing she didn’t plan on was the bigger lie she would need to tell herself when it was time to let him go.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
#1 Lie is such a fun read! Although, this is she the 4th book in the series this story can be read 100% as a standalone! It was a witty and fun loving story that I simply adored!
Jessica is southern and completely relate-able for me. I loved how the southern was played just right, not over the top as it often happens. I understood Jess on an elemental level, wanting to please your family so much that you will tell them what they want to hear and then do whatever it takes for them to never find out that you lied. Even if you did have the best of intentions.
Dave is an actor known for his shirtless dog food commercials and is a client of Jessica’s boss. He’s humble, kind and polite and I fell head over heels in love him. I loved the way he always respected Jess and her family.
Jess and Dave are both from large families and meshed well together. #1 Lie is such a humorous fun read and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series! Make sure you meet Dave’s brother, Eric Larrson, in #1 Crush!
