Producdescription of All the Lies We Tell (Quarry Road Book 1)

This sexy romantic drama from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Megan Hart explores the tangled lives—and loves—of childhood friends.
Everyone knew Alicia Harrison’s marriage to Ilya Stern wouldn’t last. They’d grown up on a remote stretch of Quarry Street, where there were two houses, two sets of siblings, and eventually, a tangled mess of betrayal, longing, and loss. Tragedy catapulted Allie and Ilya together, but divorce—even as neighbors—has been relatively uncomplicated.
Then Ilya’s brother, Nikolai, comes home for their grandmother’s last days. He’s the guy who teased and fought with Allie, infuriated her, then fled town without a good-bye. Now Niko makes her feel something else entirely—a rush of connection and pure desire that she’s been trying to quench since one secret kiss years ago. Niko’s not sticking around. She’s not going to leave. And after all that’s happened between their families, this can’t be anything more than brief pleasure and a bad idea.
But the lies we tell ourselves can’t compete with the truths our hearts refuse to let go…


From the Editor

The depth and truth of the emotions that author Megan Hart captures on these pages is remarkable—she gives new meaning to the phrase “It’s complicated.” Stories of unrequited love may be my favorite reading: the longing, the delayed gratification, the sweet suffering…the slow build as “unrequited” turns into an unbearable burden for the one in love, which leads to that beautiful moment of vulnerability where everything is laid bare.

But what becomes of unrequited love in the wake of a sudden, tragic death? Lost in the aftermath of grief, where does love go? Can you build a future if an essential part of your yesterday will never see another tomorrow?

All the Lies We Tell (and the follow-up, All the Secrets We Keep) are the absorbing stories of four people who let grief shape their lives. Until they let go of their guilt and suspicions, they won’t be free to follow their hearts.

Secrets, lies, passions, and intertwined relationships, woven together by a masterful novelist…Is there anything better?

- Alison Dasho, Editor

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Hart explores tragedy, guilt, love, and longing with a masterful balance of emotional intensity and sexual tension using flashback vignettes to great effect, then hints at an explosive secret to be revealed in a sequel.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Guilt and forgiveness are the powerful muses that fuel Hart's newest endeavor. Poignant, heartfelt, and raw with realism, Hart writes in the past and the present to take readers on a journey that examines the intricacies of human nature and the choices we make that shape us. Rich in detail with complex characters and Hart's familiar bold and honest dialogue, All the Lies We Tell offers a chance at redemption and forgiveness to two families who are torn apart and then rebuilt by tragedy.” —RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

The Handmaid's Tale

See customer reviews Product details of  The Handmaid's Tale Now a Hulu Original Series, premiering in April The Handmaid's Tale  is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was once the United States and is now called the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men in its population. The story is told through the eyes of Offred, one of the unfortunate Handmaids under the new social order. In condensed but eloquent prose, by turns cool-eyed, tender, despairing, passionate, and wry, she reveals to us the dark corners behind the establishment's calm facade, as certain tendencies now in existence are ...

Huckleberry Finn By Mark Twain

Huckleberry Finn By Mark Twain Amazon Sales Rank: #588776 in eBooks Published on: 2015-02-09 Released on: 2015-02-09 Format: Kindle eBook See Customer reviews, Rating and Buy. Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Review Mark Twain's classic novel,  The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , tells the story of a teenaged misfit who finds himself floating on a raft down the Mississippi River with an escaping slave, Jim. In the course of their perilous journey, Huck and Jim meet adventure, danger, and a cast of characters who are sometimes menacing and often hilarious. Though some of the situations in  Huckleberry Finn  are funny in themselves (the cockeyed Shakespeare production in Chapter 21 leaps instantly to mind), this book's humor is found mostly in Huck's unique worldview and his way of expressing himself. Describing his brief sojourn with the Widow Douglas after she adopts him, Huck says: "After supper she got out her book and learned me about M...
