Genuine Lies by Nora Roberts
4.0
I have always enjoyed reading Nora Roberts. She is definitely has a very strong voice as a writer and it is always great to read her books.
Julia Summers travels across the country with her son to write a biography of a movie goddess, Eve. Eve decided she wanted her story told and all the lies from her past to be revealed, and handpicks Julia out of the crowd of writers. Their relationship begins all business, but slowly over time they begin to develop a more personal relationship as well. Through Eve, Julia meets a charming and handsome man, Paul, who has been apart of Eve's life since he was ten and Eve has basically been the only mother he has really known. Julia tries to hide her feelings for Paul but over time it's hard to deny they way they feel about each other. The only problem is that somebody doesn't want this biography to come out. To be more exact, many people don't want this biography to come out. And when Eve is murdered, the question becomes who had the most to lose from Eve's tell-all story?
Honestly, this book was a little slow for me at first. It took me awhile to really get into it, but I knew that I wasn't going to be disappointed by this book if I kept reading and pushing through what I thought were the slow parts. The book took on a life of its own and pulled me into the world. Nora Roberts definitely has a way of making her readers feel like they are really there and they are really these characters. The characters are flawed, which make them so easy to relate to. I always find it's a pleasure to read a Nora Roberts book. And despite my slow start, this one is no different.
