Deception knows no limits. Passion knows no bounds.

When she is kidnapped, Senorita Isabella knows the men have been sent by her uncle in a murderous attempt to control her family’s fortune. But when she is rescued by a dashing and mysterious warrior, Isabella can’t imagine why a stranger would risk his life for her—until she discovers her rescuer believes she’s someone else…

Fernando de Zayas loves nothing more than the cry of battle. Defying death is his way of life. But when he discovers his betrothed has been kidnapped, he rushes to her aid—never suspecting that spirited beauty would soothe his warrior heart…

With her uncle’s minions close on their heels, Isabella finds herself drawing closer to Fernando. But as the desire between them builds, her secret could keep them apart forever…

Hot History!

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2016

I'm not always a fan of historical romance, but Tina drew me in with this one, and I couldn't put it down! She has a way of setting the scene that immerses the reader into the story. If you are a fan of history, action/adventure, romance, intrigue, and/or passion, this is the book for you!
Isabella is kidnapped by her evil uncle's henchmen in the mistaken belief the she is her eldest sister Sancha. Fernando rescues her from the slave auction, also believing that Isabella is the eldest daughter to whom he is betrothed. As they travel together, their relationship develops quickly and they encounter many perilous situations. Can their relationship survive? I highly recommend reading this book to find out.

Hot steamy romance

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016

I was hooked on page one!!! I finished Loving Lies in one sitting, I just couldnt put it down!! I have not read a historical romance in a while and this story just reached out and grabbed me and it wouldn't let go. I fell in love with Isabella and Fernando. I loved their relationship it was playful and witty. At times there is so much sexual tension you just wish for the ability to speed read, but then you might miss something. This is the first book I have read by tina Donahue and it won't be the last!! I can't wait to get my hands on the second book in the series when it is released.. to say ms donahue writes hot sexy steamy scenes is an understatement!! This is a fast paced story with a love story that will have your heart beating fast with anticipation!! Don't miss Isabella and Fernando's beautiful love story.

Loving Lies and the art of Deception

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

Enjoyed the book. It held my interest to the end and the friction between the characters was great. Did get a little peeved at her for holding the truth from him so long. But forgave her when she fessed up. The lies started innocently enough, and with good reason, it's just that she had ample opportunity to tell him and didn't. But as a writer myself, I can see the benefit of holding out to the last minute, to keep the tension high. Great writing Tina has a way of creating great sexual tension, and she can write a love scene where it doesn't seem dirty by using just the right kind of emotions and I like the way she creates such a hot love scene without the nasty language and ugliness. It's a talent folks. Great book.

Lies and more Lies

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

While this novel had a lot to recommend it...lots of action, adventure and passion, it also had one frustrating element that made it hard to get through. The title, Loving Lies, is an apt description of this story as the lies told by Isabella go on for way too long. So long, that they encompass the entire book. I found myself becoming annoyed with it and her decision to continue her deception. Other than that, I enjoyed the heated and erotic passion between Isabella and Fernando. I liked the beginning of the book when she is held captive and her subsequent rescue. I also liked the male model on the cover of the book as he fit the vision of Fernando that I had...the woman not so much.

Steamy Medieval

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2016

As second daughter of a duke, Isabella Lopez de Lara devises a plan to trade places with Sancha in the abduction. In disguise, Isabella travels to the convent and is kidnapped by her uncle’s henchmen who sell her to the slave market in Granada. The switch was to ensure Sancha’s safety from her uncle whose greedy plans include killing their parents, and the firstborn of the de Lara family. With Sancha’s demise, Don Rodrigo, will ultimately claim the inheritance by murdering all heirs to the estate.

Fernando de Zayas rescues Isabella in time from being sold to the sultan’s harem. Fernando thinks the woman on the dais is his intended but does not remember her name. Isabella plays along as she’s wary of a possibility he might be one of her uncle’s agent come to finish her off. As Isabella realizes Fernando is Sancha’s betroth, she hides her true identity. Isabella’s loyalty to her sister’s protection by withholding identity and lying all through her escape is the major force in this book. The conflict, to protect both Sancha and Fernando from her uncle through all her lies, creates turmoil with her heart as she grows to love Fernando.

What I liked about this book: Plot line is believable. The heroine’s willpower and loyalty to her sister is admirable. The ending. Relief to the struggle and anguish felt for Isabella over the secret lie.

What I didn’t like about this book: Though there was a lot of sex, I didn’t feel the chemistry between these two was really affection. Isabella grows to love Fernando, I don’t know why, other than he’s handsome and is full of testosterone. I know it’s a medieval romance, but Fernando’s dialogue is stilted, awkward, and he’s curt when he speaks to Isabella like he’s a dom. His actions toward her are noble as he wants to protect her, but his delivery is all machismo and demanding, and I find him an unlikable character. And the lie? I think there was plenty of times Isabella could have divulged her secret.

I’ve read several books by Tina Donahue, I know how talented she is as a writer, and she writes sexy scenes like nobody’s business. Reviews are subjective and my opinion is my own, but Loving Lies just did not work for me, as my inner romantic girl did not get the fuzzy feeling over the hero and heroine. But I look forward to reading more of Ms. Donahue’s contemporary romances where she usually rocks it.

Loving Lies

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2016

This is a sweet story about deception but this deception is done in the name of love not hate. Isabella sacrifices everything including her life for her older sister but when Fernando shows up to rescue her from a fate worse than death everything that Isabella knows is turned upside down She never thought that she would fall for a man like him but the longer she is with Fernando the harder it is to tell the truth. The two make a great couple but Isabella knows it cannot last, once Fernando finds out the truth she will lose him.

I enjoyed this fast paced story. I quickly found myself lost in the adventure that Fernando and Isabella were on. Love knows no boundaries and these two must fight through many to find their happy ever after. Not only do the main characters speak to you but the secondary ones have much to say as well. The author does a wonderful job of painting a world that pulls you in right from the very start and does not let go until the very end.
