In the tradition of Jackie Collins, Brenda Joyce pens her first non-historical novel about Hollywood, and succeeds in doing so by entertaining us with two strong characters who are destined to be together. Belinda Glassman is a rich girl who wants to make it on her own. She meets Jack Ford, a sexy actor with a dark secret, and the two of them fall in love. But true to the form, problems arise for both... Juicy, engrossing, and very well written, LOVERS AND LIARS should please soap opera fans everywhere.

Brenda Joyce's first non-historical novel takes us into the Jackie Collins world of Hollywood where a rich but independent heroine has the hots for a bad boy turned actor with a past. True to the form, the path to hooking up is one bumpy ride, but Joyce's account toward this destination is a juicy, glossy, sexually-charged roman à clef that lifts from its first page and stays above water. The author evidently has fun with her subjects. (SPOILER AHEAD) Their hot and cold attitude towards one another satisfyingly builds up to a grand sparks-fly union destined to become happily ever after. Joyce's world of caviar and champagne may not always be original but the passion and dedication with which she writes make for a fun and exciting experience.-----Martin Boucher

I never thought I'd find another author like Jackie Collins. But, boy was I wrong! i think this book surpasses some of Jackie Collins' books. Belinda and Jack heat the pages of these books, not just with each other but with other people as well. This book was a page turner and i liked the character of Abe Glassman as the villain although I didn't him as such. The only thing I had a problem digesting was that Belinda's mom had slept with Jack although it was years ago. I guess that just because I am a true romantic at heart. This book was great and I highly recommend it. KUDOS to Brenda Joyce!!!!
