Love Lost Adventure: The Lie

By Roseann Gargiulo

Surrounded by the whiteness of the blizzard’s snow, Theodora Hayes was determined to rekindle a flame she had walked away from many years ago, but can one ever truly go back? Teddy didn’t give it a second thought. Passion drove her need. Cole was the love of her life, and nothing was going to keep her from finding him… except maybe danger, murder, and yes, love—and its wicked dark past.

PRAISE FOR LOVE LOST ADVENTURE: THE LIE

FIVE 5-star reviews from Readers' Favorite

1. “The Lie by Roseann Gargiulo is a story of many plots, all gradually threading together. This is an awesome story told by a master storyteller. It’s a mixture of romance, history, murder, mystery, and adventure, with a good dash of humor thrown in for good measure.” — Anne-Marie Reynolds

2. “Gargiulo's characters are richly developed, and their deep connections evoke a range of emotions, taking readers from laughter to tears at the turn of a page.” — K.C. Finn

3. "It's all fun and games until somebody ends up in an incinerator! When I first picked up The Lie by Roseann Gargiulo, I admit I thought it would be a pretty standard young adult love story. The formula model is usually some combination of girl chasing boy, girl meeting new boy, girl has a choice to make. Gargiulo threw a spanner into that theory, crafting the ancient Blood & Bones Society and, while far less important, putting characters in shady places like at The Fat Black Pussycat, which is brilliant enough to be a band name." — Jamie Michele

4. "The alternating perspectives from several characters provided transitions that built suspense. The sudden twists in the plot made it unpredictable, and I was on edge as I read each page." — Stephanie Chapman

5. "People will do crazy things for love and there is no better example of this than Love Lost Adventure: The Lie by Roseann Gargiulo. The characters were all quirky and unique and added something to the plot. This is a wonderfully written book and I enjoyed every bit of it. Anyone who loves a romance that isn’t just a romance would appreciate this work." — Miche Arendse
