Reviews by Marina & Jackie: Wicked Sexy Liar by Christina Lauren

When three college besties meet three hot guys in Vegas, anything can—and does—happen. Book Four in the New York Times Wild Seasons series that began with Sweet Filthy Boy (the Romantic Times book of the year that Sylvia Day called “a sexy, sweet treasure of a story”), Dirty Rowdy Thing, and Dark Wild Night.

For two people ambivalent about dating and love, they sure get naked around each other an awful lot . . .

London Hughes is very content to surf daily, tend bar, hang out with her group of friends, and slowly orient herself in the years after college. Everything’s going great and according to the non-plan.

But when a wave knocks her for a loop one morning, then Luke Sutter’s flirtatious smile knocks her for another that evening, she veers slightly off course…and into his path. Sure, he’s a total player, but the Why not—it’s only one night is a persistent voice in her ear.

For his part, Luke’s been on hookup autopilot for so long that he rarely ever pauses to consider what he’s doing. But after an amazing time with London, he realizes that he hasn’t been moving on from a devastating heartbreak so much as he’s been drifting to wherever—and whomever—the current takes him. With London he wants more.

Every relationship involves two people…plus their pasts. And as much as she enjoys her fling with Luke, when London learns about his past—more specifically, who’s in it—everything becomes the brand of complicated she strives to avoid. It’s up to Luke then to change some things in order to try and ensure he’s not something she’ll outright avoid as well.








It's been so long since I've read a Christina Lauren book and since I haven't read the other 3 books in this series I was a little concerned I may not get things! That couldn't be further from the truth! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it as a standalone! I had a smile on my face throughout the whole book!!

I absolutely loved it!
The authors sense of humour, the flow of the words and the characters all made this a wonderful entertaining read!
Being a player has its cons especially in regards to being friends with London, or even wanting more with her! Luke Sutter is hot, sexy and has a great group of friends! He doesn't seem to realize why London is off standing towards him until his sister says something!
Their easy friendship with funny banter and their enjoying things comfortably together makes for a great time!
I especially loved Luke's family, his Grams was an absolute hoot!
I could have read so much more about them!
We also get a few chapters at the end with Not Joe's story and I really can't wait to read more there too!
Christina Lauren have done it yet again writing such an amazing book!
I'd say they would have to be high on my list of must read authors!

Christina Lauren is quite new to me and this is the first book I have read in this series but that did not stop me loving it. So I'm proof this book can be read as a standalone.

London is the sassy girl from California who is happy with her life, she is funny and smart and easy going.
Luke is the sexy hot player that wants London but he knows forcing himself on her is not an option, he needs to take his time and whilst he is doing just that we get inside his head and it turns out he may not have coped with a past breakup as well as he thought he had.
This series is about a group of friends who all have a great sense of humor and this book had me smiling throughout, it really is a entertaining story.

If you are looking for romance and humor with some soul searching this is the book for you.
