A Villain's Lies (A Villain's Story (Standalones) Book 2) Kindle Edition

I’ve worked for men all my life, been enslaved by them. But my new boss is different—he buys me designer handbags to ensure I’m on time.
But scowls at me when he hands them over.

He’s intoxicating.

Dangerous.

All the things I should stay away from.

The thing is… when his hands touch mine, I’m not disgusted, and I should be. Because he owns a scandalous club, and I work there…

He’s the villain in everyone’s story except mine. In fact, it would classify me as the villain in his story.

And that’s okay, I’m fine with that title.

A Villain's Lies is a Enemies to Lovers, workplace romance novel. This book can be read as a standalone as the first book is his brothers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grayson and Avani ♡
Reviewed in Australia on 3 April 2023

I enjoyed the second book in this series, I will say I did love Jake's story a little more. I think I expected Grayson to be a bit more of a hard nut because he came across that way in the last book but he turned into a big softie for Avani 😍 Avani was definitely strong after what she'd endured in her life but she did come across as a brat a lot of the time.
I loved how both Grayson and Avani were kind of crazy it gave me Bonnie and Clyde vibes especially when she took her power back from those that had hurt her in the past.
All in all a good read, I'd love these books to be a little longer but I look forward to reading more from this author.

I love these stand-alones from this author yet they connect In that the characters come from books before and is better to read them first in my opinion as they r great books to read for one and also get you get a bit of a read of the characters beforehand . I didn’t like Grayson much going into this (from reading book before) but by the end I gotta say I loved him ! Avani is very strong willed and a match for Grayson ! Great read !!

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU NEED TO READ THIS

A lady with a frying pan is a frightening thing.

TL Smith has given us perfection. In A Villain’s Lies, we meet Avani who is a manager at the club that Grayson owns. She’s has had a really rough upbringing and was saved by Jake, Grayson’s brother. She loves and thrives on control and will never ever relinquish it. But then so does Grayson. Due to this they butt heads a lot and strongly dislike yet highly respect each other.

The banter in this book was top notch. I had a smile on my face almost the entire time I read this which is rare.

If you’re looking for a book which has Jealous/Possessive, Boss/Employee , Enemies-to-lovers, He falls first and would kill for you vibes, you 100% NEED to read A Villain’s Lies. Check triggers though, this one is a little dark so be warned.

What I loved the most I think is that Avani is such a boss babe and Grayson absolutely hates how much he loves that about her. They are everything and I just love them. Love love love love love them.

I rated this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5, I honestly didn’t want it to end.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this real so much
Reviewed in Australia on 28 March 2023
I had read Graysons brother books villains kiss prior to reading a villains lies and I knew I wanted his book. From page 1 I couldn’t stop laughing. Avani is one of the sassiest heroines I’ve read of tl smiths. The tit for tat between Grayson and Avani kept me reading. They just worked so well together. Grayson is the ultimate book boyfriend, hard on the outside but hard on the inside but for those he loves he gives them all and that’s no exception for Avani. I felt so many different emotions because tl smith has this skill that pulls you in and has you feeling what each character feels.

Grayson is an anti hero and the mouth on him when it has to do with Avani is perfection. What to expect? Avani works for Grayson for a year but when things explode Grayson doesn’t stop until he proves his love for Avani and trust me this is who everyone needs in their life.

Tl smith is an author that just makes reading so easy and by far this book is my favourite of hers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular
Reviewed in Australia on 28 March 2023
From the very beginning I was captivated by these characters and their story. Words in general intrigue me, but some authors seem to rise to an unreachable level with their talent. They go above capturing the mind of their audience. I was immediately enthralled by the leading lady. These characters always possess an incredible inner strength amid adversity, trauma and chaos. The leading man was so, so bad, but so, so good. Together they were indescribable. This story was one that I totally immersed myself in and was blissfully taken away to a destination in my fantasies that left me with a feeling of battered completeness. Utter bliss. 5 stars.

I could not put this book down! Grayson and Avanei toghether are explosive! I love how avanei has chosen to deal with her past trauma, she is a boss. Grayson is unapologetically himself. This book is the epitome of 'there is a fine line between love and hate'. The way Grayson shows his feelings (not that he realises that that is what he is doing). The way avanei over thinks everything (don't we all). *sigh*. TL Smith, you have done it again.

Grayson is one scary man. He really is the bogeyman. Meeting his match in avani is hilarious. The sexy times are hotter than hell. The story is so sad and uplifting at the same time. Trafficking. Abuse. This a truly amazing story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Avani and Grayson!
Reviewed in the United States on 29 March 2023

Avani has never had anyone in her life she could count and was forced into situations because of that. From that she has become strong, forceful and isn’t about to back down from anyone or anything however she has met her match in Grayson, her demanding and cantankerous new boss.

Grayson is dark, dangerous and familiar with being feared by others. He soon finds out that Avani is the exception to the rule and despite the way she infuriates him and refuses to follow his rules he is determined to claim her in every way.

Avani challenges Grayson at every turn which only increases the heat between them. They both have difficult pasts which impacts how they are with each other but their imperfections only reinforces that they are meant to be together.
