Review: Liquid Lies by Hanna Martine

[pjthompson]

A completely original story, engaging characters, and lovely smexy writing. What’s not to like?

Gwen Carroway is a water elemental with the ability to pick up any language instantly, and she’s using that talent to help the family business become a global power. When she’s accidentally thrown into the company of the hunky mercenary, Reed, their attraction sparks as instantaneously as Gwen’s language ability. As fate would have it, Reed soon learns Gwen is his next target: he’s been hired to kidnap her. And he’s a man who takes pride in doing a good job… Together, Reed and Gwen must unravel the dirty secret behind Gwen’s family business–and in the process, they unravel each other.

Split loyalties abound in Liquid Lies, as Reed and Gwen try to negotiate the path of love and the path of doing what’s right. Ms. Martine handles these conflicts well. One of the reasons I liked this book so much was because it wasn’t just another “pretty face.” It was a paranormal romance with a very solid plot and characters. This is a great read.
