Their fathers are enemies. Their love is forbidden. Now her secret will destroy them.

Prince Asher has spent years fending off his mother’s introductions. No woman has held his interest for more than five minutes, not until he met Abi. Brave, fearless, Abi. Now he can’t imagine his life without her.

Abigail Bennett is the daughter of the King’s enemy and a woman feared by every warlord in the region. Her job: rescuing trafficked women.

For her safety, her identity has always been kept a secret. She never intended to mislead Prince Asher, but if she reveals who she is—who her father is—Asher might shut down her operations.

But if she doesn’t tell him, the powerful romance building between them will be built on a tower of lies. And secrets never stay buried forever…

When a chain of events causes her identity to be revealed, can Asher forgive her?

Will he have the chance to forgive her because the warlords Abi has spent years annihilating know her identity now too, and they’re coming for her.

More than 5 stars!!!!

This...is more than a five star read.

Once again you are sucked in with this this author’s incredible talent to transport to you a new world filled with mystery, suspense, intrigue, and romance!

The suspense will literally reach out from the pages of the very beginning of the book and slap you senseless, captivating you into a page turning storyline that holds you hostage until the very end.

The characters are richly developed with layers that you will be itching to uncover. Abi and Asher are individually intriguing but together....I have now words for the magic they can create.

If you like the type of book that gets your heart racing, leaves you breathless, renders you speechless, and is unputdownable, this book delivers. Beautifully. I absolutely cannot wait for more!!!

Fabulous start to a new series!

I have been a fan of Brooke Sivendra's writing since I discovered the Soul Series in 2015.
I devoured that series and then fell in love with the James Thomas Series and the follow-up, Thomas Security Series.
I was disappointed to hear that the James Thomas series had reached its conclusion. However, Brooke Sivendra promised the news series would delight.......AND IT DID!
I finished this book in a marathon, I could not put it down.
It has all the thrills and plot turns that you expect from this phenomenal author.
I had an immediate affinity to Prince Asher and Abi and the evolving plot did not leave me disappointed.
There is a bit of everything in this book.... romance, thriller, suspense, espionage action, organized crime... You name it and it is probably there somewhere. The imagination and the depth captured within the writing is phenomenal.
There is a cliff hanger, but I know the wait for the next book is going to be worth it!
A fantastic read which I would definitely recommend.

Brooke is amazing. I thought her last series was fantastic. But Blood, love and Lies has so many twist and turns and forbidden love, and family drama. Brooke has you at the edge of your seat. I usually figure out the clues of who the real bad guys are, but I will be reading it a second time to find more clues. Thank you book or an amazing new series. Cannot wait for the next book. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy as an ARC volunteer and volunteered this review

Blood Love and Lies...

The Royals book 1. Brilliantly written and a fanfreakingtastic read .So addictive. Prince Asher and Abi 's family have history and not all good. Abigail is 10 different layers of awesome kickass with messy tendencies. Asher is a Prince with all the royal duties included. Their country is in a difficult position and they each in different ways are trying to help the people. Now add lies, betrayal, grudges, revenge, flat out murder and it's craziness to the next level. Hella WTF moments, dramatic, mysterious, gut wrenching, and passionate. Please book two cannot come fast enough.

What?!?! This book ended on such a cliffhanger, and I'm just happy that the next book is available. I was slow to warm up to Asher and Abi's stories but by the end I could not put this book down.

I just want to give her ALL the Stars!

I don’t have adequate words to describe how much I loved this book. It is a complete departure from the style of Brooke’s other series, but the story is just as deep and compelling as all the others.

I didn’t think I could love another series as much as I loved the James THOMAS or THOMAS security series. But I was wrong. This book is just as compelling and complex as the James Thomas series. And waiting for Book 2 Is going to be absolutely excruciating.

Bravo, Brooke, Bravo! Another winner.

I read this book when it first came out and couldn't put it down . I've purposely waited for the other books to come out so I can read them all at once. I love the budding romance between Abi and Asher. Brooke Sivendra is a brilliant author and she can makes me both laugh and cry at certain parts of this story.

A wonderful start to a new series

Reviewed in Canada on September 9, 2019

Like other readers I have enjoyed all of Brooke's books in the Thomas series and was a bit worried that Blood Love and Lies was going to be a bit of a let down. Not because of Brooke's writing but because James and family were so compelling. Well hold on to your seats for these new characters. I read my advance copy then had to read it again because of the suspense of the story I was sure I had missed parts. I'm now on my third reading and loving it more with each page I turn. Can't wait til December for book 2. Thank you Brooke for your wonderful novels. I received this book as an ARC and I volunteered this review.

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting from this book, and this certainly wasn’t it.
This was soooo far better than what I was expecting. I love Brooke’s JT series and if you have read them, you’ll know what I mean, I didn’t think it could live up to JT, but damn, Brooke smashed it.
I love Asher and Abi from the get go. The story is brilliant, characters very believable, and now I have to wait and wait for the next one. I loved this story, thank you Brooke, you’re forgiven for ending the JT series. Absolutely Amazing.
