About this listen
If this was a poker game, Zach Masters would fold and cut his losses.
The problem:
The stakes included Faith Gardner’s life.
The notorious drug boss Chen Yong held the better hand.
And this was no game.
As a rookie DEA agent Zach takes a covert assignment in Billings, Montana. A chance encounter with a girl from his past threatens to blow his cover and puts her life in danger. Twelve years earlier, on the day before he deployed to Afghanistan, Zach Masters met Faith Gardner. They spent an unforgettable day together, and the memory of her helped him survive the dark nights of war and the battering of PTSD.
After years of medical school, Faith’s boyfriend Brett returns to Montana as the new emergency room doctor. But why, when Brett is perfect boyfriend material, does her heart seem stuck on Zach? Especially after finding him with some shady characters in an alley on the wrong side of town. Faith lost a high school friend to drugs and regret still plagues her. Even though Zach’s life looks like a train wreck, Faith vows not to stand by and do nothing.
Zach’s whispered promises on that long-ago Fourth of July still haunt her. If she had meant anything to him, why had he ghosted her?

Story
When I first moved from Manhattan to this small town six years ago, I worried about many things. I worried about finding a job. I worried that I’d be bored. I worried that my relationship with charming photographer Ryan Breslow was moving too fast. But I never worried about whether the ground beneath my feet would crumble—both literally and figuratively. My marriage didn’t go as I’d imagined. A year ago, Ryan met his untimely death in a car accident that’s still under investigation.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Great Second Chance Romance!
Faith knew Zach before he joined the military and runs back into him present day and thinks he is dealing drugs because she doesn’t know he is a DEA Agent. Faith is starting to date Brett, who her family thinks she is a good match for, but once she sees Zach again, some old feelings come back. I don’t want to spoil anything in this story so I will just say that there is a lot of action, some stuff that Zach needs to get over from his past and a lot of talking that Zach and Faith need to do. I really loved this book and Meghan Kelly’s narration. The different emotions came out in all of the characters she voiced and made the book great to listen to.

These two Kelly’s were so entertaining and I was delighted to see the story unfold. Meghan has the ability to make me laugh and make me cry every time I hear her narrations. She is a great actress to install these emotions into me with her voice.

A Perfectly Balanced Potpourri!
I finished “Love and Lies” last night and I’m still reeling! It’s been a minute since I’ve listened to a book that hit me the way this one did … and again the tears are flowing. “Love and Lies” is a perfectly balanced potpourri, with every scent being an emotion, every bloom being a facet of this multi-dimensional story of love, loss, despair, deception, courage, sacrifice, honor, tragedy and triumph. We can’t have spoilers, and really, the details of how it all plays out are best savored by listening to this story, quietly and comfortably, with snacks, beverages and tissues! I can tell you that I spent as much time laughing as crying, worrying as wondering, and there were times I was a bit miffed at one or three and wanted to hug a few as well! I really came to care about the characters, came to understand them, sympathize with them and in the case of a few, identify with them. I also saw real people, people I know, my friends and relatives in a few. Once they became that real to me, what they faced also became real to me. I found myself becoming completely absorbed in the story as I listened, time became suspended and my emotions went CRAZY! I was a MESS! This is where that balance I spoke of saved me! Thanks to the combination of a brilliant author that knows how and when to inject humor, and just how long to leave a listener on the “edge” AND a phenomenal, professional first rate narrator that can voice every character, male OR female convincingly, consistently and so emotionally that they BECOME the character, THIS story became absolute stunning perfection and every future listener can rest assured that
the journey is well worth their time! Five awestruck stars and oh how I wish I could give more!

Great Book!
Such a great book. I pretty much fell in love with Zack from the very beginning. And I absolutely love Meghan Kelly's narration. Sometimes an audiobook will sound so good but I just can't get past the narrators voice. Meghan has a way of bringing all of the characters to life and is so much fun to listen to.

How would you react if you met a special person one day and they were gone the next?
A special man helps a young woman out with her younger brother. He leaves for deployment the next day. Time passes and even though he promises to keep in touch, he ends up not being able to.
This is the heart wrenching tale of these two people. Expect great highs and emotional lows when these two meet again.
Great book and narration. Kept me engrossed from start to finish. While this can be read with other books in this series, it can also be read as a stand alone book. Looking forward to next book this series.
