Love Painted in Lies is a laugh-out-loud feel-good comedy romp. Minty's return to Maida Vale isn't just about the chaos of raising twins, Old English Sheepdog shenanigans, school runs, and caring for her parents. Her life is shadowed by whispers of her involvement in a family art forgery ring that once duped the London elite.
The watchful eyes of the law linger on Minty; they're convinced she’s back to unearth a treasure trove of truths about a legendary missing painting. Minty must prove her new life is a genuine fresh start. But does she know more than she's revealing, or is her return an honest attempt to repaint her life’s canvas?
Amidst it all, a mysterious stranger strolls into her already turbulent world, bringing a hint of intrigue and the possibility of romance. Is he a brushstroke of fate or a shadow from her past?
With gangsters on her heels and love at her door, Minty’s journey is a hilarious adventure, where art and reality comically collide in Maida Vale.
One (or more) Sentence Summary: For the love of Muffin....I LOVED this book!
I absolutely love the other two novels by Holly Denham (Holly's Inbox and Holly's Inbox: Scandal in the City). I was so disappointed when I never saw other novels by Holly. Last month Holly sent me an email letting me know she had a new book out, Love Painted in Lies: A Maida Vale Tale. I was so excited and was told it is not like her other two books. True......but it was another 5-StarL Must Read book!
I couldn't get enough of Minty and her parents. I was laughing out loud at some of the chaos that was always going on. Crickety - the owls were hilarious! As Minty is avoiding gangsters and the police she seems to always skirt around them we learn about her life and all the colorful characters. She also falls for a guy who I loved, than didn't and in the end adored him. He just got who Minty was and accepted her family.
If you are looking for a laugh out loud book with an exciting plot (completely different than others I have been reading) than you MUST read Love Painted in Lies: A Maida Vale Tale. Purchase it now (free on KindleUnlimited) and you will not be disappointed, and get ready to roll around laughing. ESPINACAS!!!
My favorite characters:
Minty - I want her as my BFF! She is hilarious (and artistic).
The Harries - Minty's twins are too funny. Thinking of calling my twins The Ablies (Abbie and Allie).
Ned - I want to be friends with this quirky person who would make me laugh.
Minty's parents - I just want to hug them as we love life together and look at owls.
Devon (aka Craig or Barry) - The guy that comes through in the end when it really counts.
