Love This series！The author has command not only of the plot，but the characters also。 The heroine and hero have great chemistry。 And they are family oriented。 Gotta love that grounding effect and total commitment！ The interaction between humans and animals is great too！ Cannot wait for the next one！！！

“I spend twelve hours a day with people。 When I get home， I’m done peopling。”Bree Taggert is my favorite！ I can’t get enough of her and Matt！ Or Todd and Cady！ I just love the whole gang！ This story was so good！ I love when you get the killers POV without knowing who it is。 The whole story wove together so well and the conclusion， as always， was perfect！ I’ll never want to give up Sheriff Taggert’s stories！

Bree Taggart is my hero4。25 stars！ Is it the best book ever written？ NoBut does it have incredible mystery， suspense， and enough romance to keep my romantic heart going？ YESThe only thing that would’ve made it better would’ve been a drop in of Morgan and Lance。 If Melinda keeps writing， I will keep reading

I was first introduced to this character in the Widow’s Island series and I was instantly taken with her。 Bree’s background is troubled and she’s a complicated heroine that’s tough as nails but with a heart that’s learning how to expand and open itself up to so much more。 I went into this book thinking it was going to be a shorter story such as the ones previously。 I was thrilled to find out that this was a much deeper story with a strong mystery and a variety of characters that may or may not b I was first introduced to this character in the Widow’s Island series and I was instantly taken with her。 Bree’s background is troubled and she’s a complicated heroine that’s tough as nails but with a heart that’s learning how to expand and open itself up to so much more。 I went into this book thinking it was going to be a shorter story such as the ones previously。 I was thrilled to find out that this was a much deeper story with a strong mystery and a variety of characters that may or may not be the “bad guy”。 This was a fast paced read that never slowed down。 The romance skirts just at the edges of everything else that is happening and I love those snippets so much。 Bree’s family has wormed its way into my heart and the mystery kept me guessing。 I appreciated that once the author revealed who the villain was， the story didn’t quickly wrap up。 There was so much more going on and I was on the edge of my seat through it all。Mostly heroine POVSafe （view spoiler）[very light on romance; no ow/om drama （hide spoiler）]Triggers （view spoiler）[ serial killer; violence; suffocation （hide spoiler）]Steam （view spoiler）[ 0 /5; no sex （hide spoiler）]["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more

When 2 men are found murdered and the scenes are earily similar Sheriff Bree Taggert is the lead investigator。 Both men were active on dating apps and the focus of the investigation starts there。 This is a fast paced read with a few twists along the way。 Besides the suspense we are given a glimpse into the characters lives along with a romance。 This book is part of a series but could easily be read as a stand alone。 Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy。

Lie To Her was really fast and easy to read。 You can easily get into the story。 You can also easily get out of it。 This is fun to read in a weekend。 You can pick up this book as a stand-alone， as I did， and enjoy it。 If you are not familiar with this series， don’t worry。 You are OK to jump right in with this one。

Wow！ After Dead Against Her， I did not think Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggert series could get any better， but， happily， I was wrong！ In Lie To Her， Bree and Matt are on the trail of a serial killer， and everyone they interview is lying to them。 The killer takes it up a notch with a personal threat， and then someone close to Bree is on the killer's list。 I love the relationship between Matt and Bree， as well as the family and friends that have become an important part of Bree's story。 In Lie To Her， Wow！ After Dead Against Her， I did not think Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggert series could get any better， but， happily， I was wrong！ In Lie To Her， Bree and Matt are on the trail of a serial killer， and everyone they interview is lying to them。 The killer takes it up a notch with a personal threat， and then someone close to Bree is on the killer's list。 I love the relationship between Matt and Bree， as well as the family and friends that have become an important part of Bree's story。 In Lie To Her， Ms。 Leigh continues Bree's personal story， with the focus on solving the crimes。 The tension and suspense are compounded with multiple possible suspects， and， of course， several life-or-death situations。 I， quite literally， could not put the book down for wanting to find out who the killer was。 Several chapters from the killer's point of view really added to the suspense， without tipping off the killer's identity。 Thank you to Netgalley and Montlake for the digital ARC of Lie To Her by Melinda Leigh。 The opinions in this review are my own。 。。。more

Lie To Her is an enthralling addition to the Bree Taggert saga。 Bree and her team take on a psychopath killer whose victims hit close to home。 I really enjoy this author and this series。 Bree is entirely relatable and who wouldn’t want a honey like Matt。 The mystery keeps you riveted and guessing。 Heartily recommend。

I've really enjoyed this series and this book was no exception （this book can be read as a standalone so no worries if you haven't read the other books in the series yet）。 Melinda Leigh has done a great job with the characters， especially main character， Bree Taggert。 She is dedicated and takes her responsibility as sheriff very seriously。 I especially love that she's not afraid to put herself in harms way to protect her people and she doesn't put up with nonsense or have time to play politics。 I've really enjoyed this series and this book was no exception （this book can be read as a standalone so no worries if you haven't read the other books in the series yet）。 Melinda Leigh has done a great job with the characters， especially main character， Bree Taggert。 She is dedicated and takes her responsibility as sheriff very seriously。 I especially love that she's not afraid to put herself in harms way to protect her people and she doesn't put up with nonsense or have time to play politics。 Matt Flynn is a perfect compliment to Bree in both their personal and work relationships， and best of all he accepts that her niece and nephew are a priority for Bree。This was a fast-paced read and once I started I didn't want to put the book down。 There was no lag time， it felt like something was happening at every turn of the page。 There was even an added and unexpected element of danger that had my skin crawling and heart racing。。。 I'm glad there are more books planned in this series as I'm not ready to be done with Bree's and Matt's story and I can't wait to see what happens next。Thank you to Montlake and NetGalley for providing a copy for review。 。。。more

Lie to Her， by Melinda Leigh， is a fast-paced police procedural that had me hooked from beginning to end！ It is #6 in the Bree Taggert series， but reads well as a stand-alone novel。Sheriff Bree Taggert and her boyfriend criminal investigator Matt are looking into the brutal murders of two local men。 As they sift through the evidence， the darker sides of the victims’ lives are exposed， as well as those of a number of local denizens。 There are plenty of twists as Bree and Matt follow the leads wit Lie to Her， by Melinda Leigh， is a fast-paced police procedural that had me hooked from beginning to end！ It is #6 in the Bree Taggert series， but reads well as a stand-alone novel。Sheriff Bree Taggert and her boyfriend criminal investigator Matt are looking into the brutal murders of two local men。 As they sift through the evidence， the darker sides of the victims’ lives are exposed， as well as those of a number of local denizens。 There are plenty of twists as Bree and Matt follow the leads with the urgent knowledge that another killing is imminent。Leigh’s writing is skillful， with eloquent turns of phrase， such as “Regret washed over her like cold rain。” Her characters leap off the page well-formed—it is easy to like Bree and Matt， as well as their extended families。 All the characters feel real and honest。 The vignettes of home life with cats， dogs， kids， and horses add humanity to this story。I highly recommend this compelling police procedural suspense with a warm family heart。Thank you to Montlake and NetGalley for the ARC。 This my honest review。 。。。more

Lie to Her is book six in the Detective Bree Taggert series。 This book can be a stand-alone but the whole series is fantastic why would you want to miss out。 Just as Bree is settling down to watch a movie with her niece and nephew， she gets a call there has been a murder。 A man has been found by his date shortly after the murder。 His hands have been bound with zip ties and his face with plastic wrap。 The man told the woman he was dating that he was a self-employed digital marketer， but he is in Lie to Her is book six in the Detective Bree Taggert series。 This book can be a stand-alone but the whole series is fantastic why would you want to miss out。 Just as Bree is settling down to watch a movie with her niece and nephew， she gets a call there has been a murder。 A man has been found by his date shortly after the murder。 His hands have been bound with zip ties and his face with plastic wrap。 The man told the woman he was dating that he was a self-employed digital marketer， but he is in debt up to his eyeballs and works for Electronics Depot as an assistant manager。 It would appear the victim is less than honest。 As they investigate the victim， they are told he dates a lot by using dating apps which should give them more information on the victim。 Meanwhile another murder has been committed and it looks as if it is done by the same murderer。 The only difference is the first victim had "liar" carved in his forehead and the second had "cheat" on his。 Things are escalating pretty quickly as Adam， Bree's brother， goes missing。 This is a riveting and action packed read。 The characters are likeable and worth caring about。 The story continues from the previous books so there is continuity from book to book， which keeps the reader wanting more as the story continues from this to the next。 I received an ARC from NetGalley for an unbiased review。 。。。more

Rating edit: 3。5 stars。I like Melinda Leigh stories especially Bree-Matt chemistry is really cool， plus these two characters are good individually as well。 I can pick any book in this series without even reading the blurb （you can read them as standalone novels）。 Her writing style is engaging that makes the book engrossing。 It kept me interested even though I was able to predict。 However， I thought the last few pages dragged on。 When everything is clear， you begin to lose interest （especially if Rating edit: 3。5 stars。I like Melinda Leigh stories especially Bree-Matt chemistry is really cool， plus these two characters are good individually as well。 I can pick any book in this series without even reading the blurb （you can read them as standalone novels）。 Her writing style is engaging that makes the book engrossing。 It kept me interested even though I was able to predict。 However， I thought the last few pages dragged on。 When everything is clear， you begin to lose interest （especially if it's a thriller）。 The ending could have been crisper。 Also， I thought the involvement of snakes （throughout） was unnecessary， as it doesn't contribute to the story。 But， overall I enjoyed reading this book， and I would like to read the next book in the series。 。。。more

Thank you Netgalley and Montlake for the chance to read an advance copy of Lie to her （Bree Taggert #6） by Melinda Leigh。 This was a fast and easy book to read！ Bree and Matt end up hunting for a serial killer who is targeting men who use a dating app。 While this is the 6th book in the series， you can read it as a standalone。 Plenty of plot twists， and some POV from the murderer。

Bree and Matt solve new murders with each book， but it’s their relationship that’s exciting。 So much respect and patience between them as if it’s always been perfect。 Leigh knows how to put just enough realistic possibilities to make these murders seem like they could happen anywhere。 The dangers of putting ourselves out there in the real world versus the internet， definitely scary。 We have a few chapters in the POV of the killer which was just enough clues for a twist。 Always a well written sto Bree and Matt solve new murders with each book， but it’s their relationship that’s exciting。 So much respect and patience between them as if it’s always been perfect。 Leigh knows how to put just enough realistic possibilities to make these murders seem like they could happen anywhere。 The dangers of putting ourselves out there in the real world versus the internet， definitely scary。 We have a few chapters in the POV of the killer which was just enough clues for a twist。 Always a well written story with real characters and heartfelt feelings。 I’m thankful for my early copy and wrote this review voluntarily。 。。。more
