Cherry’s life growing up was nothing short of a nightmare. Having an abusive father forced her to fend for herself from an early age. Bruised and emotionally broken, she finally escaped, running straight into the comfort that Lip's arms brought. In the beginning, everything seemed to fall into place perfectly. He made her forget the messed-up ways of her life. But secrets can’t stay neglected. They have a habit of revealing themselves regardless of the consequences. Terrified, Cherry can’t speak a word or she’ll lose it all.
Lip is no stranger to the criminal life.
Growing up among convicts, he wanted nothing more than to show his worth. He’ll
do anything for the club without question, including serving six years in
prison. But nobody could have predicted life’s plan. Rugged, tattooed, and
wanting nothing more than to have Cherry, Lip is no longer the man whom Cherry
remembers. After his release, he came out a beast with more secrets and lies
than his cage could hold.
I will admit that while I was curious about Cherry and Lip’s
story, I wasn’t sure if I would be super excited to read it. I think it is because up until now they were
almost a second thought, not someone in your face like the previous books have
been. I was so wrong to ever think
that. I have always said secrets and
lies will come back to haunt you, especially if they are something that can
destroy relationships. The Lies Between Us was titled perfectly
because the lies that are told are not only life changing but also heart
breaking. I literally was on the edge of
my seat with my stomach flipping because you could feel the angst pouring out
of your kindle and into your body.
Cherry’s past broke my heart, I understood why she kept the
secret she did. She had so much to lose
and nothing to gain if it came out. Her
feelings for Lip were real, solid and honestly I don’t know any woman who would
stick around for as long as Cherry did after Lip went to prison after only
knowing him for such a short time. Lip
is an asshole when he is released, and when certain secrets come to light I
wanted to kick him straight in the balls.
I hated it. I hate lies. I hate heartbreak and for a while there I
hated Lip. He does win me back over
though so have no fear.

and right before you think you are falling and will lift you up and show you why
life and love may not always be easy but it’s worth fighting for.

After he leaves, I open his
wallet, reading his name, address, weight. All of it.
“Phillip DeLuca.” I taste
his name running off my lips as I trace my finger over his picture. He’s so
handsome. He’s the kind of guy most people would be afraid of, but not me. I
want to get to know him. Lost in a daydream, my car door is yanked open.
“Where the fuck is it,
bitch?”
“What?” I shriek as I’m
pulled out of the car and slammed forward onto the hot hood. “I don’t have
anything!” I scream, trying to pull free. He shoves me back down on the hood.
His hand tangled in my hair.
“Don’t think about moving,”
he spits, his tone harsh. I roll my eyes and continue leaning over the hood. My
heart slams against my chest in pure panic, and my hands shake. He pulls away
and leans in to the car. Within seconds, he finds his wallet. Shit.
He peers at me with a fierce
energy in his eyes. The intensity has me pulling off the hood, scared out of my
mind.
“You have some balls,” he
mutters, shoving his wallet back in his pocket. His tone is soft and tender
suddenly. I turn my head and eye him angrily.
“Fuck you.” I cross my arms
and lean my hip against the car. My choice of words more confident than I’m
feeling.
He steps up to me and grabs
my hips hard with both hands. My skin burns, and my mouth parts with desire.
His brown eyes find mine, and his hands yank my body closer to his. I feel like
all the air is sucked from my lungs as I search his dark eyes. Placing my hands
on his solid chest to steady myself, my palms buzz with excitement.
“You’d like that, wouldn’t
you?” He looks me up and down and leans in close. “You’d like it if I pushed
you over the hood of this car and fucked you ‘til your legs gave out.” His
words feather against my lips, he’s so close. I hold my breath, willing my body
to pull away, but I don’t move. Just when I think he’s going to kiss me, he grabs
my hand and pulls it upward. I furrow my brows and watch as he pulls a pen from
his back pocket, pulling the cap off with his teeth. He writes his number and
the word ‘Lip’ on my hand.
“Call me. Don’t make me
come find you, Cherry.”
“Cherry?” I ask out loud.
“Your swimsuit,” he yells
over his shoulder before starting his bike. I look down at my white shirt
noticing my cherry bikini peeking out from the bust line. A smile creeps across
my face. I know I shouldn’t like him, but I kind of do. Driving past me, he
winks and I swear I sigh like a damn fool.

character's story. So, with her glass of wine in hand and a stray Barbie
sharing her seat, she continues to create and please her fans.
