Today we welcome K.A. Tucker to our blog as she celebrates her new book One Tiny Lie which released on June 11th.

5 STARS!!!
Synopsis
Livie has always been the stable one of the two Cleary sisters, handling her parents’ tragic death and Kacey’s self-destructive phase with strength and maturity. But underneath that exterior is a little girl hanging onto the last words her father ever spoke to her. “Make me proud,” he had said. She promised she would…and she’s done her best over the past seven years with every choice, with every word, with every action.

Livie walks into Princeton with a solid plan, and she’s dead set on delivering on it: Rock her classes, set herself up for medical school, and meet a good, respectable guy that she’s going to someday marry. What isn’t part of her plan are Jell-O shots, a lovable, party animal roommate she can’t say ‘no’ to, and Ashton, the gorgeous captain of the men’s rowing team. Definitely him. He’s an arrogant ass who makes Livie’s usually non-existent temper flare and everything she doesn’t want in a guy. Worse, he’s best friends and roommates with Connor, who happens to fits Livie’s criteria perfectly. So why does she keep thinking about Ashton?

As Livie finds herself facing mediocre grades, career aspirations she no longer thinks she can handle, and feelings for Ashton that she shouldn’t have, she’s forced to let go of her last promise to her father and, with it, the only identity that she knows.

Denise’s Review

One Tiny Lie is Livie’s Cleary’s story.  To the outside world, Livie is the sister who pushed through; the one who took her parents death in stride, the one who managed to keep her life on track to make them proud.

But what happens when what you think is your path turns out to be the dream of childhood and not the reality you can embrace as you become an adult?

Live’s introduction to Ashton Henley is a smile on your face kind of first encounter.

Ash is everything Livie is not, and everything she thinks does not work for her.

Livie’s thinks she has her future planned and when she meets Connor, Ash’s friend, he fits her life’s plan to a T, he is even from Ireland just like her dad.

As Livie struggles with the chemistry she and Ash share and the reality of life at Princeton; including her first non A grade, she is faced with the question of who she really is.

I have to say Ashton’s “gesture” to Livie spoke volumes to me.  It was such a kind and compassionate act.  Ms. Tucker really showed the reader there was something else underneath his stoic exterior.

When Ash’s backstory unfolds, I guarantee you will be gripping your kindle, your heart will break and his actions will make so much sense.  Outstanding!!!

Despite the fact that I typically read hotter books, that I don’t always adore love triangles and that I usually hate cheaters; I loved this book.

So I think that speak volumes to the masterful writing and amazing story line!

One Tiny Lie was a captivating read, one that will stick with me and that I highly recommend.

I am very much looking forward to book 3 in this series.
