Author: Molly McAdams
Genre: Contemporary, New Adult
A night they will always remember…a connection neither can deny…a secret that could destroy it all…
When Kennedy Ryan moves to California, she never expects to come face-to-face with Liam Taylor—the intriguing man who has haunted her thoughts for a year. A man who led her to breaking every one of her rules for a single night of passion that ended up meaning more than it was ever supposed to. Accustomed to disastrous experiences with men, Kennedy shields herself before he can break down more of the carefully built control she’s clung to for the last four years. But every time she sees Liam, she feels her resolve weakening.
Liam Taylor has been asked to help socialize his boss’s nieces. But what he thinks sounds more like a babysitting job ends up leading him to the only girl who ever slipped away before morning—a girl he thought he’d never find again. And now that she’s within reach, Liam’s determined to never let her go.
But when a secret from her past tests their relationship, will they be able to cling to the trust Liam has worked so hard to build?
Thoughts: Forgiving Lies is one of my all-time favorite books my McAdams so discovering that the heroine of this book is the daughter of the couple from that book I knew I was going to love it. Finding out that Liam is Harper and Chase’s son from Taking Chances and Stealing Harper, was like the awesome icing on your favorite cupcake.
One of the very many things I love about McAdams writing is how she’s able to make the readers feel every single emotion her characters do. They aren’t simply characters in a story, they are people we know, and love. It’s a unique ability and one that makes her one of the best authors writing today.
In Trusting Liam, she gives two characters who are at a crossroads in their lives. One they didn’t even know they were at until they come face to face with each other. Both of them have baggage, Kennedy from a past she is hiding, and Liam from events that took place before he was born, and yet have impacted every aspect of his life.
While Liam had his journey to go on in this story, it was Kennedy who struggled the most. I especially loved the moment when Kennedy has her epiphany.
If you haven’t read Kennedy and Liam’s parents books that’s okay, because you get enough of their backstory in this book. Though I do highly recommend you do read them, just because they are awesome.
