About this ebook

You'd think with a guardian who's a ghost, she'd see everything coming. But nope, that's not how it works.

Private investigator Lexie Smith almost has it all. A successful business with her best friend. A wonderful, loving companion—sure, he’s a little furry, and he drools, but nobody’s perfect. Even a house on the beach, complete with a wisecracking, street-smart, supernatural “intern,” who knows everything there is to know about crime and her nonexistent love life.

Things are good until a dangerous assignment forces her to turn to the last man she can trust: Rafe Barandas, local police detective and the man who broke her heart years before.

After a decade in New York, Rafe has returned to his small hometown, burned out on big-city politics and crime. He’s looking forward to the quiet life until he’s thrown together with Lexie to solve what starts out as a simple B&E.

Rafe made a mistake the first time, leaving Lexie. Now he’s determined not to blow this new chance. But thwarting a cunning foe is one thing. Putting the past and lies behind is another.

If you like slow-burn romances with sassy heroines and strong heroes getting a second chance at love, set in a small town, then TELL ME LIES is your jam.

"Gail Chianese explodes onto the paranormal romantic mystery scene with a slow-burn, second-chance romance that readers of the genre are sure to love!" --Elicia Hyder, bestselling author of The Soul Summoner series

Tell Me Lies by Gail Chianese, book one in her Camden Point series is a great blend of paranormal romance and suspense. I love that Lexie has a ghost for a guardian and when she works together with Rafe to solve yet another mystery, their chemistry sizzles as the suspense builds in both their case and their relationship. They have been given a second chance at love, but there are a number of obstacles that interfere with their relationship. I laughed out loud several times and cannot wait for more about Lex, Kat, Vinny and Rafe!! I enjoy Ms. Chianese’s writing, handling of the suspense, and humor. I highly recommend Tell Me Lies to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

It was pretty good. It had romance suspense and great characters. The ghost is cool too. Hope too see more by this author. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
