About this listen
Noelle Charlston lives a fairy-tale life: a doting father, a powerful job, and a future blessed with financial security.
However, two meetings with two men changes her happy existence forever. First, she meets the man who makes her heart sing. Three years later, she meets the man who makes her blood quiver.
Broken-hearted from a teenage romance, Noelle's freedom is no longer hers. It belongs to the stranger her father believes is her perfect match. The stranger who pulls his lies over everyone he touches.
Including her.
Seduced and manipulated, Noelle gives into the mysterious Penn Everett. The lies he spins, the truth he hides, the mystery he weaves - it's all enough to slowly erode the woman she is and turn her into something else.
Until her past collides with her present.
And it's her turn to lie.
To everyone...including herself.

Story
Once upon a time, I was an 18-year-old psychology student. Now, I'm a man's property. Stolen and sold, I've been decorated in bruises since the day my world changed two years ago. I suffer in silence, I crave freedom, but I never break. I can't. Until he arrives. Elder Prest, the only man to look at me and see me. The only man more ruthless than my owner. He wants me for reasons I don't understand. He claims me for one night then leaves and never looks back. Until he returns. And life becomes much more complicated.

The night of my birthday looked as boring as the rest of my life. Sitting on my own, trying to avoid my insanely gorgeous but horribly mean flatmate, all while waiting for him to leave so I could have a party for one…if you know what I mean. But that was before I almost crashed on the way home, when a big top rolled into town. Before I locked eyes with the hottest guy I’d ever seen swinging a sledgehammer in the rain. Before I read the flyer promoting the once-in-a-lifetime circus. A circus that wasn’t the usual garish carnival…oh, no…this one was most definitely not for children.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

From New York Times best seller Pepper Winters comes one of her best tales yet... "What do you do when you meet your soul mate? No wait...that's too easy. What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret? I'll tell you what you do. You lie." Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn't exist - that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth. His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror. But then...he ran.

Story
From New York Times best seller Pepper Winters comes one of her best tales yet... "What do you do when you meet your soul mate? No wait...that's too easy. What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret? I'll tell you what you do. You lie." Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn't exist - that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth. His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror. But then...he ran.

The second our eyes connected, I felt the shift in the air. The crackle of fire igniting between us. He was dark, dangerous, and secretive. He came into my life like a storm, ripping apart everything I believed in, everything I thought I knew. With his mischievous smirk, stunning looks, and alluring behavior, I should’ve ran as far away from him as I could. But I was stupid. I trapped myself in his web.

One wild night gave me more than just regrets. Six years ago, I walked away from Igor Sokolov—New York’s most dangerous Bratva prince—and vowed never to look back. Or so I thought. Now, he’s found me. And worse, he’s discovered my biggest secret: our daughter. Igor doesn’t ask. He takes. With ruthless determination, he drags us back to New York, claiming it’s the only way to keep us safe. Safe from his enemies, maybe. But not from him. He’s possessive, demanding, and dangerously irresistible. And he’s made one thing crystal clear: I’m his.

Story
Kieran Murphy is an Irish mob boss and one of the most powerful men in Boston. When he walks me home, people step aside out of respect for him. He could have any woman he wants. So why does he have eyes only for me? Is it how he has to lift my chin with his fingers to keep my eyes level with his when he scolds me and how I cover my bottom instinctively when he tells me that I've earned a spanking? Or is it how I quiver at the thought of everything I'm too ashamed to beg him to do to me? Maybe it's all of those, but I'm pretty sure there's something else too.

Good but predictable
Good story but a bit predictable. After reading the blurb and listening to the first few chapters you know what is going to happen. Great performance from the readers though. Saying that I will listen to the second book just to see how it finishes.

Intriguing story that pulls you in!
This book pulls you in to the dark intriguing story just like all of Pepper Winters books. The mystery of nameless and Penn I can't wait for the answers to all the questions. And Gregg I did not see that happening...Can't wait to start the next audible. Kylie Stewart did an amazing bringing Elle to life. Eric Rolan did a great job narrating too. I really enjoyed listening to them!

A truly intricate and unique story
This story drew me in so fast, trying to piece it all together. There is so much mystery lurking in the shadows. Noelle lived so long in the sheltered tower built by her father. When she finally pushes back to seek out some sort of normalcy trouble comes her way but so does a mysterious hero. Finding a bit of what she was missing out on but also seeing the world for the cruel things the world can impose on you she retreats back to her gilded cage until another twist of fate comes barreling at her. I cannot wait to dive into Throne of Truth.
This was such a unique audio as it is all in one POV but you get the dual narrators for a full experience of the story.

So far...meh
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Meh, meh, meh. It has the kindling of a potentially good story, but the female narrator is clearly bringing it down by steamrolling through the reading. Her voice begins to sound monotonous after a few chapters. She does put more feeling into the dialogue part, but the first-person narration of the story is really dragging this down for me and I'm only 3 hours into this story. The male narrator helps but with so many male characters, his depth of variations of the New York accent can only go so far before they all start sounding the same. I'm just waiting for the fire to really spark and the story to really get going.
If you’ve listened to books by Pepper Winters before, how does this one compare?
my first Pepper Winters book...so we'll see.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
probably. With stream of conscious, first person narration, the stories can drone on and on...
Do you think Crown of Lies needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
As of right now, no. That means the story is toooooooooooo long. But apparently there is a follow-up book.
Any additional comments?
maybe this book could've been better with two different POVs. Something to break up the female narrator. Her parts are just too long and her voice starts to sound like background noise (sorry to be harsh)!

I was hooked!
Would you consider the audio edition of Crown of Lies to be better than the print version?
I think the audio version is better because it gives you more detail and it makes you feel every emotion in the pages.
What other book might you compare Crown of Lies to and why?
I don't think I've read a book like this before, but if anyone can recommend more books like this I'd be thankful.
Which scene was your favorite?
When she found the necklace again.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, it was definitely one that I didn't want to stop listening to but unfortunately I had to stop when things like sleep were necessary.

Full of twists
"Crown of Lies" by Pepper Winters, is a new book for me. and wanted to dive into it. What I didn't expect was to get so captivated.
It is a twisty road of interesting events, and I'm sure a lot more to come, this does end on a chlifhanger, and a good one at that.
The chemistry is delicious between Elle and Penn, and even though sometimes they were a little childish, the way Pepper used her words, by slowly adding romance, danger, a dash of intrigue, and pushing boundaries, it was perfect.
The book is steamy; Penn, puts on an alpha male show, and he pushes all the right buttons.
I'm looking forward to the second book.
XOXO Lottle.

The cliffhanger is so gripping!
Elle’s childhood was spent learning her father’s business, and she became the CEO of Belle Elle as a teenager. Working as hard as she does has led to a very sheltered life. When she finally decides to go out on her own, she is assaulted by two men, but a young vagrant saves her. Unexpectedly, Elle becomes smitten with the young man but never even learns his name before he is arrested and she is whisked away. Years later, her father is trying to play matchmaker, and a cocky young man claims he can win her heart. Caving to Penn’s seduction, she still mourns the absence of the man who saved her that night, but she needs Penn’s protection from enemies who want control of her empire.
Be forewarned, Crown of Lies is the first book in a duet, so it ends on a cliffhanger, right in the middle of the action. The cliffhanger is gripping, so there is no way to skip the second book!
Kylie Stewart was a perfect casting for the role of Elle. She has a youthful voice, and her emotions shine through her narration. Alongside Eric Rolon, the two narrate as a duet. Even though Elle’s night with the homeless man who saved her is fleeting, you can feel their desire and their instant connection. What I found frustrating, though, was the male characters. Elle’s father is weak and gullible–not what I would imagine a former CEO to be. And Penn–his weird outspoken verbal assault on Elle’s bullies is uncomfortable and overacted. And it honestly makes little sense for the plot. I really enjoyed the storyline, though, despite these factors, which is why I still gave the book a good rating. I’m devastated by the cliffhanger, so I’ll certainly be reading the second half of the duet!

Captured from the first chapter
What did you love best about Crown of Lies?
The story was wonderfully wrote, it brought you into Elle's world and made you feel like you were right along side her throughout her entire journey. The story between her and Pen was too good. So much sexual tension in this book!!!
What about Kylie Stewart and Eric Rolon ’s performance did you like?
Loved it. The voices matched the characters...which I have found in other books to be way off.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes!
