Tess Simpson absolutely cannot handle seeing anyone suffer. When she volunteers to work as a candy striper after the Granton University school shooting, she is only supposed to coax the amnesiac in room 312 to eat his supper. Yeah right. After learning no one’s come to visit him since he woke from a coma and can’t remember who he is, Tess needs to make him feel loved, ASAP. Telling him she’s his girlfriend isn’t part of her plan, but that’s exactly what blurts from her mouth.
Except one little lie made from the purest of intensions can still rattle the hardest of hearts.
4.5 Star Review by Jen Skewes
Loving Lies is the second installment in the Granton
University series. It can be read as a
stand alone but honestly I think it would be beneficial if you read
the first one as well. I am a huge fan
of Linda Kage's ever since reasing her Forbidden Men series. I love her writing and love the characters
that she creates. Ms. Kage did not
disappoint with this one.
After a tragic event at school Tess and her best friend
Bailey have decided to volunteer their time at the hospital as candy stripers. There is one patient in room 312 that needs
some tending to. The patient has been in
a coma for two weeks, has amnesia and to top it all off not one person has come
by to visit him. And lets just say he is
not exactly the model patient. He is a
bit angry and irrational and the type of patient that most people would like to
steer clear of. The nurses ask Tess and
Bailey to help him and to make sure he eats.
When they approach his room Bailey decides to bail, leaving Tess alone
to fight the angry patient.
Tess is a really sweet, caring and emotional person. So her immediate thought in helping the
patient in room 312 is to pretend she knows him so that he feels some sort of
comfort. But when she walks in the room
and sees the injured but very handsome young guy in the bed her “no filter say
what comes to your mind babbling starts” So when he asks who she is what is her response? Well she is his girlfriend of course! What else would she have said? Tess is not sure what she just got herself
into but she plans on continuing the charade until she can find someone that knows
him.
Jonah Abbott is lying in a hospital bed, and has no idea who he
is and no one has come to visit him. So
when the red headed beauty walks in his room and says she is his girlfriend,
who is he to argue. Tess knows she needs
to come clean but she also finds comfort in the time that she spends with
Jonah. She can be herself around him
with no judgements or worries about how Jonah will react. Jonah finds himself
looking forward to Tess’ visits. She
does something to him, she makes him feel happy and for some reason helps him get
through the day. Tess has a secret but there is also more to the sweet sexy guy that is lying in the hospital bed. So what happens when the truth about who
Jonah really is and Tess’ secret finally come out ?
Tess and Jonah were so cute together. There was an attraction between the two of
them but also this connection that formed instantly. With Jonah’s memory loss he needed and wanted to get to
know Tess. And I just loved those moments that they shared together. It was so sweet to watch two people who just met became
so close and so connected. I just loved
watching them get to know each other, fall in love and see how much they needed
each other.
