5 Heart Review by Lorena
Wow, this book has left me with all kinds of tingles. That ending though, Jodi Ellen Malpas knows how to make us suffer! One thing I have to say about this author is that she can write one mean alpha male. I mean, it's hard to compare any other character out there from her characters. She can also write a heroine that will leave her beau on his knees and just like Eva did with Jesse, Eleanor did with Becker in Artful Lies. This book is full of so many mysteries. I loved the fact that Eleanor was so enraptured and fascinated with the antique world and that's why her and Becker fit so perfect. I'm still wondering how and why he would choose Eleanor to become pretty much his assistant. And for the way he opened up to her, why her of all women? I'm still reeling with the ending because there are still so many questions unanswered but I'm sure that is the point of the cliffy. Artful Lies was a delight to read and I just couldn't get past how Becker intrigued me and I still have so much to figure out about him. He's so mysterious, sexy and such an alpha that has me addicted to this story line.
4 Heart Review by Ashley
I really don't even know where to start with Artful Lies. While I am no stranger to Jodi Ellen Malpas, this book was something else. Dark. Mysterious. Dangerous. Marvelous. I liked Eleanor. Her love of art. Her curious nature and mind. How she always wanted to know more. How even when given the opportunity of her lifetime, she knew she needed to proceed with caution. Because Becker. Oh my goodness that man was a piece of work and then some. There was something about Becker that I couldn't put my finger on. He had this personality that made want to smack him for his arrogance but also try to get closer and learn more. He was smart and conniving, talented and drawn to Eleanor in a way he couldn't understand. The push and pull between these two was enough to drive me mad! Hot one minute. Infuriatingly distant and cold the next. But there was something lurking just beneath the surface. And then the twist!! My heart was racing and my stomach dropped as Eleanor started to put the pieces together. Gah! I can not wait to see what the mind of Jodi Ellen Malpas has in store for them next.
Excerpt: ‘I’m told you’re settling in well,’ he says, but I still refuse to look at him.
‘Yes, very well, thank you,’ I answer, giving myself a cheer for my professionalism. Then I move to the right. And so does he.
‘Good,’ he says quietly. ‘Very good.’
Biting my lip, desperately wrestling off the urge to take a quick peek at him, I step to the right again. And so does he. ‘Excuse me.’ It takes everything in me to maintain my strength. He’s like a magnet to my eyes. Nothing as stunning as him should be ignored. Immune? I laugh to myself. I don’t think that’s possible.
It’s a long, long while, but I eventually see his smart brogues shift.
‘My lady,’ he says quietly.
Damn it. I chance a peek up at him as I scoot past, catching the signs of a cheeky smirk. And, shit, if my eyes don’t sprint over his entire face as I continue past, and then down his tall frame.
‘I look better naked,’ he says, all low and sexy. That soon breaks my trance, and I swing away, outraged, marching on.
‘I don’t plan on finding out,’ I mutter under my breath, and he laughs, telling me I didn’t voice my promise quietly enough. I stop, turning to face him. ‘You know, I’m pretty sure I could make a complaint to HR about sexual harassment.’
He grins. ‘I am HR. What’s your complaint?’
I narrow my eyes. ‘You’re not funny.’
‘Then why are you fighting to hold back your grin?’
My lips purse. Damn him. ‘Are you going to continually try to get a rise out of me?’
‘A rise?’ He peeks down at his groin area, and then glances back up, his grin now mild. ‘Too late.’
My eyes naturally drop to his groin, and he chuckles as he turns and saunters away. My head cocks in admiration, his lovely backside my focus. It really is a sight to behold, his sexy swagger executed to a T.
‘Stop looking at my arse,’ he shouts over his shoulder.
I cringe. Holy shit, I need to find some control. He’s my boss, for Christ’s sake. ‘I was doing no such thing.’
‘You know,’ he calls, ‘I’m pretty sure I could make a complaint to HR.’
‘What’s your complaint?’ I ask on a frown.
‘That you’re undressing me with your eyes.’ He doesn’t entertain me with another glimpse of his lovely face, just carries casually on his way, disappearing through the large doors into the Grand Hall.
