But when their fixer comes to kill her, he ends up sparing her life in exchange for a favor - be his fake fiancé or die.

Story
I didn't mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened. Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

Story
They say Cyrus Reed is ruthless. That he rules the underworld with an iron fist. A criminal. A murderer. A monster. He controlled fortunes and amassed empires. Our paths should never have crossed, but one poker game intertwined our fate. I woke up stranded on his island. Trapped. Forced to play a dangerous game of hate and lust. He said he took me to protect me. That he was saving me. But who will save me from him?

The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar. Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born. Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather’s wedding day - when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather.

He might be the answer to all my problems. Too bad he's asking for something in return for his help.... My heart.

Sometimes you meet someone - maybe meet isn't the right word. You don't even have say hello for this to happen. You simply pass by them, and everything in your world changes forever. Chills flow all the way from the crook in your neck where you imagine he'd kiss you, all the way down, with only a single glance. I know you know what I'm referring to. The moment when something inside of you ignites to life, recognizing their other half that's been gone for far too long. It burns hot, destroying any hope that it's only a coincidence, and that life will go back to what it was.

The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start. On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude in a campus bathroom. (The ladies’ room was out of order. So, I used the men’s room. Don’t judge.) I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents’ house was allergic to our cat. So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb - the British guy from the men’s room. And so it began...my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?

At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Eight years ago, I gave Grayson Price a piece of my heart. To him, I was the strange girl whose mom had just abandoned her. To me, he was a savior, an anchor, someone who stood beside me on that beach. The next time I saw him, I was 20, and he was 36. He didn't remember me. And when he flirted...I didn't tell him. By the time he found out, it was too late. We tried to deny our desire, but our attraction was too enticing.

It started out like any normal day. Then the fender bender happened. The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth. Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway - one I was excited about. Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

So when my boss runs away to “find herself”, I seize the opportunity and dive head first into the Sebastian’s glamorous universe. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted - fast paced and high stakes - and, even though I don’t fit in, I’m excellent at faking it.

Summary
From USA Today best-selling author Parker S. Huntington comes an enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romance full of revenge and a dash of fate.
"She could enjoy her pretty, perfect world a little longer. Soon enough, everything she owned would be mine."
I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him.
But when the lights turned on, it wasn’t familiar blue eyes I saw. These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother.
Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge. Who cares if my family ruined his? Who cares if he looks at me with pure loathing? Who cares if every task he assigns me is designed to torture? I need the money. Simple as that. I’ll suffer his cruelty in silence, knowing there’s one thing he wants more than revenge. Me.
Please note: This is a full-length stand-alone novel in the Cruel Crown world.

Consuming, all-the-feels, addictive... 5 STARS
Holy freaking **** !! I just finished Devious Lies by Parker S Huntington- a new to me author. Her writing is PHENOMENAL and evokes so much emotions and thought... I don’t want it to end!! I rarely listen to an audiobook unless I’ve read the book. But this is soooo good- I want to read it all over again and highlight ALL THE WORDS!! It is addictive and unputdownable. I devoured it- as much as it consumed me, gripped me, owned me. Nash and Emery are EVERYTHING!! Their chemistry is so electric. Wow, Just WOW!!! The Narrators- Sebastian York as Nash and Desireé Ketchum as Emery- couldn’t be more perfect for this audiobook. ⭐️ ALL THE STARS ⭐️ 5/5 stars all round ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pretentious and long winded.
I will never read another book by this author, they seem to have an obsession with trying to prove how intelligent they are. This book feels almost condescending, like oh look I know so many words you most likely don’t let me keep throwing them in your face until you want to run head first into a brick wall. The author was just trying too hard This book is about 5 hours too long, there are chapters and chapters that should have been edited out. They were unnecessary and added nothing to the book. The main characters were frustrating. Emery just pissed me off with her stupid stubborn behaviour, but I didn’t hate her. What I did hate though was Nash acting like a complete di**head towards her without any real evidence that’s she deserved to be treated badly. I hate that his actions were basically forgiven, all because he started to feed her. Like are you serious? I’m all for slow burners but this felt like it was moving at a snail pace, I had to listen to a lot of it at 1.25x speed just so I wouldn’t throw a fit. If I never have to hear the word Sisyphus again it will be too soon. This is just an unremarkable book trying too hard.

What a load of rubbish!
First of all the female narration is awful. Second of all boring does not begin to describe it, I got through the first three hours and gave up! At hour number three it became pure audio porn! This story is about as exciting as a wet match and as effective. How this book got five stars is totally beyond me.

Sublime
Wow. I don't know where to start, and I know I can't do this story justice in my review, but this is one very special novel. It is FANTASTIC. This is a gem of a tale. It's big, it's gutsy, it's an amazingly well crafted enemies-to-lovers story. I have read the Anti-Fling by Ms Huntington (a very short story) about these two amazing people: Emery and Nash, and I knew in my bones that their story deserved a full novel. This story exceeded any expectations I had by a country mile! The characters are so well drawn and believable. They are flawed and quirky, struggling, angry and proud. The themes of penance, revenge, forgiveness and truth run throughout, and these two characters have an undeniable chemistry and sense of fate. I have to commend the authors craft. Her words. The unusual, obscure words. I think she really must have put her heart and soul, and her whole everything into this story. It is absolutely amazing. I do need to mention the two narrators who really added to this story. They brought the whole story to life.

Struggled To Finish
This Audiobook was way to long for what it gave it the end. The worst was the female lead with her talking to the ceiling crap and the ceiling talking back. Nothing was discussed completely and to many things were left hanging. A fourteen hour listen just to have two main sex scenes and two oral scenes (not including the golf scene cause I was disgusted by the use of a dirty golf club many have used before and that scene had no point to the love story). To be fair many scenes had no point to their love story. Also way have so many additional characters if the writer isn't gonna give some background about them or why they play a part in the two main characters love story. Especially the design team for the Hotel. Nothing felt complete with their presence in the book. I could also talk about the crazy non relevant words Emelia used with every sentence. Really did not care for that and that seemed to take up half the book. Waste of time listening to that cause who really is gonna remember those words and the meanings. Also weird was the references to pop culture (Kardashians). Didn't need that in the book at all and it seemed like many parts could have been left out just to make this book more romantic and less like and an English course on obscure words. The only saving grace was Sebastian York reading for the Nash and that was so few and his back story also wasn't filled in completely. Very disappointed I wasted the time on this book.

Definitely worth it!
This is the 2nd time I have listened to this book and I have already agreed with myself that I will do it again in a couple of months. This story has everything.... *romance *humour *happiness *sad times for the characters *saucy sex scenes (bordering on erotic although it doesn't happen all the way through the book... More like a few, well detailed, naughty, exciting, (full) sex scenes spread out almost one in the beginning, one in the middle and one in the end) *a decent plot with unexpected twists *characters who have odd quirks, making it more real because they have unique personalities like everyone else in the world. *the bad boy who turns out to be a hopeless romantic once he realises he's in love. ........ And much much more!! I can honestly say that I love this book and I wish I could have a 2nd book to learn more about what happens next. Maybe even a book with the main character's brother as the first person. If one ever comes out, no matter who's story is the primary, I'd be reading it as soon as physically possible. This is just THAT GOOD! The narrators have done a fantastic job with the characters and they were the best people for the audio book. I don't doubt that for a second. If you're like me and you get fully submerged into a book (using your very vivid imagination), then you will spend your time listening to this story smiling, laughing, frowning, giggling, rolling your eyes, concerned, hopeful, angry and possibly even horny! It's definitely well written and worth the credit to experience it! I know that I am certainly incredibly pleased to be able to listen to it whenever I want to. Hopefully you will feel that way too. I REALLY can't think of anything I can say on the negative side... and that's odd for me. I'm always honest and as unbiased as possible when writing reviews, in order to help others to decide on whether to get a copy for themselves. I've sat here for about 10 minutes just staring at the screen without any criticism popping into my head (which is really irritating right now), and I'm just thinking that I want more. I sincerely hope that a series suddenly appears in the not so distant future...... Fingers and toes crossed.

Enemies-to-lovers and slow-burn romance!
This story is the first book in the Cruel Crown Series. OMG! 145,000 words/15 hrs and 46 mins, and no dull moment. This is an enemies-to-lovers, and slow-burn romance, very well written. The story is hilarious, sweet, emotional, sexy, captivating, intriguing, and beautiful. Some scenes are absolutely hilarious! The characters are wonderful. Nash is a handsome, sexy alpha man, seeking for revenge. Emery is an absolutely beautiful woman, selfless, feisty, strong, and independent. I love how their relationship evolves, after some twists and turns. The ending is beautiful. I loved seeing again Asher and Lucy from Asher Black. Desireé Ketchum and Sebastian York did a wonderful job with the narration. I love their voices together. Sebastien York is perfect as Nash. Desireé Ketchum is definitively one of my favorite narrators. I love her voice! She is perfect as Emery. Parker S. Huntington is an amazing author. Her writing is genius, and refreshing. She never disappoints. Never. Looking forward to read more books from her! If you haven't read this story or the Five Syndicates Series, give you a favor and do it! Just do it! You won't regret it.

Too long
The narrators made the story tolerable, excellent job by both. I could listen to Sebastian York non-stop. Although well written, I found the story too “Wordy” if that makes sense. The author explains every little detail of every emotion of every thought to describe the mood, but enough already, there’s no reason why this story should’ve been 15 hours long! I know a descriptive author makes for a good read/listen, so most of you might disagree with me. All due respect to the author, in the end, I would spend another credit to read their work

Magic of Her Words
Devious Lies by Parker S. Huntington is a magical listen with the vibrant imagery, unusual words, and incredible characters. I so loved Emery and Nash in this book. They had immense chemistry, great banter and surprising secrets. I was pulled into this book from the first minute. I loved the unexpected humor the author injected in the story naming one of her friends at the root. Sebastian York and Desiree' Ketchum were perfectly cast for this audiobook. I could definitely sense the age difference in characters, which only added to the book. Both narrators are spectacular, and together they are even better. Thank you Parker for including cameo appearances by some of my favorite other characters in this book too! That was an unexpected treat. The twists are unexpected and so well done. I loved this book!

My heart kept pounding
There are no truer words than the magic ones that emery silently put out the universe, this book shows growth and hell of a lot of twists - its full, of lust, gluttony, greed, anger, violence, fraud, treachery. I loved every single word.

I liked it!
My Spoiler-Free Review Writing Style: Dual POVs Ratings: Story- 3 stars! I love stories with flashbacks or that cover a long history in the characters' journeys both separately and / or together, but I found the time changes a little harder to follow than normal. Fortunately, this one didn't turn into a silly love triangle as I feared it might. It was a misguided revenge turned into love story done well. The secret app texting relationship was probably my favorite aspect of this story. Performance ratings for Sebastian York (aka Nash Prescott) & Desireé Ketchum (aka Emery Winthrop) - 5 stars each! These two narrators made a nice narrating duo. Overall - 4 stars! I think the story would have been even better if there had been more of Nash's POV in the earlier chapters to move the story along faster. Although it had a slow start for me, it was a good story overall with great audio performances by both narrators.

Emery & Nash
I have been waiting to meet Nash Prescott and the it was totally worth the wait. This book, the first in the Cruel Crown series is so good, it will keep up to finish the listen! This enemies to lovers story is not your typical listen. It's fresh, original and oh, so sexy. Emery is down and out after her father's reputation is tarnished. Now believing her trust fund is tainted, she is set on making it on her own, It's not easy, so taking a job with her best friend's brother is a last resort. When Nash realizes the daughter of the man who ruined his family's life is now working for him, the one that accidentally landed in his bed 4 years earlier, he is determined to make her life miserable. But what these two don't know is how their journey will go. Huntington is a master at suspense, intrigue and romance. There are twists and turns in this that are surprising and so well written, I just could not stop listening. Smart and sexy is how I would best describe it and some humor to lighten the mood at times that will make you spit out your drink! I am hooked again, and can't wait for more. Sebastian York and Desireé Ketchum are cast so well, you would think they actually are Nash and Em. York has that edge to his voice for this darker, alpha, full of venom when necessary and can turn the charm on in the next breath. Ketchum feels the essence of Emery, with her need to be separated from her family and find her independence. She has attitude and fiery passion flowing through her voice. This is an amazing team and makes this an amazing listen.
