Review by: Jenn

For two people ambivalent about dating and love, they sure get naked around each other an awful lot . . .

London Hughes is very content to surf daily, tend bar, hang out with her group of friends, and slowly orient herself in the years after college. Everything’s going great and according to the non-plan.

But when a wave knocks her for a loop one morning, then Luke Sutter’s flirtatious smile knocks her for another that evening, she veers slightly off course…and into his path. Sure, he’s a total player, but theWhy not—it’s only one night is a persistent voice in her ear.

For his part, Luke’s been on hookup autopilot for so long that he rarely ever pauses to consider what he’s doing. But after an amazing time with London, he realizes that he hasn’t been moving on from a devastating heartbreak so much as he’s been drifting to wherever—and whomever—the current takes him. With London he wants more.

Every relationship involves two people…plus their pasts. And as much as she enjoys her fling with Luke, when London learns about his past—more specifically, who’s in it—everything becomes the brand of complicated she strives to avoid. It’s up to Luke then to change some things in order to try and ensure he’s not something she’ll outright avoid as well.

4 stars out of 5 stars

I enjoyed Wicked Sexy Liar so much more than I did the last Wild Seasons book and, just like London, it was such a breezy, laid back easy read. When I read the synopsis of this book, I knew I recognized Luke's name from somewhere but I couldn't pinpoint from exactly where. Once I realized where Luke comes to us, I was super excited to see where this story took us.

Luke is sexy and totally adorable because he just lets the women in his life run him and he just goes along with their shenanigans. Reading London and Luke story was such a fun time but I'll be honest, I liked reading Luke's character more than London's. I can't quite put my finger on why I feel that way but being in his head was a lot more fun. I'm not sure why I feel that way, considering I can relate to London on some level. I think the problem might be is that she reminded me a lot of Lola and I wasn't the best of fan of Lola's and Oliver's book.

This being a Christina Lauren book, we got to see how our favorite characters from the previous books are doing and to be honest, that always my favorite part. But my favorite part of this book? Not-Joe! We get to see him some more and actually learn of his real name! Like always, Christina Lauren gave us exactly what we were expecting in their book which is some flirty, sexy banter, with some flirty, sexy times, and a happily ever after.
