Truth, Lies, and Second Dates

I was very excited to read this book by this new to me author and while I can't say I'm mad at it and can't say I loved it either. In the end I'd guess I'd say that I was stuck somewhere in the middle with my personal opinion of it. There were some things I can honestly say really appealed to me and a couple things that simply didn't work for me. As for the things that really worked for me: The main and secondary characters, the clever banter, a good amount of humor and a solid mystery to try to sleuth out. So, what didn't work for me? The actual time given to this couple's romance. I found it not only slow-burning but too much confined to the backseat of pretty much everything else featured in this book. For me that is a big issue because I read books for the romance and while I felt there was a ton of potential here; it never got the chance to step into the spotlight and shine. I am freely posting a frank review.

ARC for honest review with no compensation Received from NetGalley Truth, Lies and Second Dates by Mary Janice Davidson is a laugh out loud, lots of chemistry, murder mystery but with lots more going and at times became somewhat confusing. Eventually figured out what was happening and overall was a good book.

An edge of your seat, emotionally thrilling and highly entertaining journey. This is a highly entertaining second chance romance filled with interesting charters, witty banter and undeniable passion..
