After her father, a known con man betrayed her, Maya Black left home determined to forget the past and the excitement of living on the edge. Maya learns living an average life is not what she thought it would be, it's boring. She though spicing up her sex life would help but that's not going too well either until she meets Simon Barton. Simon is anxious to move up the ladder in the FBI hence his interest in Maya, not her so much as her father and his latest activities. Maya is beautiful and it is not all pretense his attraction to her. Simon gets lucky when Maya needs a pretend boyfriend to bring home for her brother's wedding festivities.

Maya can't believe how much she missed her family and how glad she is to be home until her nemesis continues to try and insinuate herself into the Black family. What upsets her more than anything is how her father is allowing it to happen. Being around Maya makes it harder to remember why he is with her when all he can think about is loving and protecting her.

Likeable characters and a great storyline make SEX, LIES AND MIDNIGHT a fantastic read. I look forward to the third book in this series.

Book Summary

Born into a con artist family, Maya Nicholas abandoned the grifting life to live on the straight and narrow (and somewhat dull) years ago. But when her family is threatened—and the swindlers are on the verge of becoming the swindled— Maya swings into action. All she needs is a stand-in boyfriend, and the charming, tasty-as-sin Simon Barton will do quite nicely, thanks.

But Simon has a little lie of his own. He's FBI, and Maya is his inside track to her less-savory relations. It's a mutual using, which quickly turns into a scorching mutual attraction.

In fact, their naughty little sexcapades are the only things they aren't faking!
