    About this audiobook

    When Jenna Walters uncovers proof the father of her young son is an international assassin, she has just minutes to gather the boy and run. But Jenna has nowhere to hide. No one to trust.

    Until she meets Zach.

    Of the six Montgomery brothers, Zach has always been the renegade. He leads a double life as a CIA operative with a dark and haunting secret.

    When a mission to eliminate a terrorist goes horribly wrong, Zach’s cover is blown. Everyone he cares about is in danger, including Jenna and her boy—two vulnerable stowaways he’s determined to protect.

    Behind the Lies, another action-packed Montgomery Justice novel from RITA® finalist and bestselling author Robin Perini, is the thrilling story of a man fighting for redemption for an unforgivable betrayal—and the woman whose hope and determination against all odds could give him a last chance at love.

      BEHIND THE LIES was an action-packed romantic thriller. Jenna was fleeing with her five-year-old son Sam from her husband. She had learned that he was an assassin, turned him in to the FBI, but was betrayed by the FBI and had to run for her life. Zach Montgomery, whose cover as a B class actor hid his CIA agent reality, was also on the run as it looked like he had been betrayed by someone in his own agency. Though Zach had good intentions of setting Jenna and Sam up in a new life far away from the danger he presented, each set of enemies was too close to converging on them for him to put the plans into action. Zach, Jenna and Sam had to deal with car accidents, houses exploding around them, and the hazards or running through the mountains at night. Jenna had tried to protect her son from the reality of his father but Sam knew that he hit her and thought that was how husbands treated their wives. It wasn't until he saw how Zach treated Jenna that he began to understand how men should treat women. Of course, it helped that Zach had played the Dark Avenger in one of his movies and that Sam already thought of the Dark Avenger as a hero. Even though he doesn't want too, Zach ends up bringing Jenna and Sam home with him to seek the aid of his brothers. Zach had been staying away because he felt responsible for their father's death. But the Montgomery boys are very formidable when they all get together. Together they take on an insane Afghan terrorist who wants revenge on Zach for the death of his sister, Jenna's assassin husband, and a rogue CIA agent on the way to a happy ending for Zach, Jenna and Sam. This was a real page turner. I look forward to reading more stories about the Montgomery brothers and can't wait for Robin Perini to finish writing them.

      Behind the Lies is Zach's story; Zach, the third oldest Montgomery brother: a man of honor who doesn't always do what he wants... just the thing that's right. He happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when Jenna Walters finally decides to make a run from her perilous life—young son in tow; Zach's strange desire to help the beautiful, troubled woman out, brings the two lost—and nearly hopeless—characters together, which just may change both of their lives forever.The characters are so well portrayed and complex—definitely one of the highlights of this novel. Readers will fall in love with Zach as they discover that as solitary as he is, he deserves greater care and more love than he will accept. He doesn't show it, but he feels deeply; this gift—or curse—makes him a good actor but brings him hurt even he cannot recognize and that most do not even begin to understand.Jenna has never been exposed to this kind of honorable male figure before. In the midst of escaping her past, her abusive marriage, and herself, she is both shell-shocked, and completely disoriented, that such a kind, honest, person would be willing to help save her and her son's lives. But her surprisingly strong instincts tell her Zach is more than a renown actor, more than a pretty face—he's hiding something from her, too. Could he just be another liar?Perini's grasp of the pen is intelligent, articulate, and forms a great story but I don't think it's particularly affecting. I love how her fiction always has confidential government and military aspects, though. She expertly captures the deadliness of lies and the helplessness of someone forced to be acquainted with crime when there's nowhere left to run.Behind the Lies connects characters from the first book into its story seamlessly, but still makes for a great stand-alone novel. I got a warm, tingly feeling revisiting the cast I was familiar with from In Her Sights. The loyalty and strength between the Montgomery brothers especially made my heart soar. I was also pleasantly surprised by how the book picks up on lingering family mystery, which isn't revealed, but heavily hinted on. Definitely something to look forward for in the next book.One thing I wasn't fond of is the unrealistic scenario; I just can't grasp how such an emotionally detached and legally coveted character like Zach would suddenly risk all to help a random woman especially when he's got more pressing matters at hand. I really liked everything else, though, from the sizzling chemistry to the heartbreaking personal development.Pros: Fabulous characterization // The Montgomery brothers........ // Pitch-perfect suspense and emotion // Super sexy romance!Cons: Stylistically plain // Starts off slow // Unrealistic situation holistically... the individual scenes are so real and raw, but the entire way Zach and Jenna meet and stay together seems a little forcedLove: Jenna stepped to the stove, peering into the simmering pot. "So, a man who can cook, too? Are there any more surprises?"Zach gave her a wicked wink. "None with a G rating."Verdict: I enjoyed Behind the Lies, the second installment in the Montgomery Justice series much more than I did the first. The emotional turmoil and the hot attraction between Jenna and Zach definitely hit home. Robin Perini knows what she's doing, spinning a roller coaster ride of a romantic suspense about two fallen souls finding each other. I'm looking forward to trying the next book, for sure.Rating: 8 out of 10 hearts (3 stars): An engaging read; highly recommended.Source: Complimentary copy provided by author, via Book Monster Promotions, in exchange for an honest and unbiased review, as part of the Behind the Lies virtual book tour.

      Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Michelle L. Olson: *ARC received from the author in exchange for an honest reviewI'm not generally a Romantic Suspense reader (I read Paranormals, Fantasy, Horror & Mystery). In fact, Behind the Lies was only the 3rd RS I've read. Ever. With that said, it was like the best action/drama movie on paper and utterly thrilled!Zach, oour hero, is the assumed slacker & wild child of the Montgomery clan - a well known actor, but also an infamous CIA Agent. His cover gets blown, there's a price on his head, and things just wtart to spiral out of control. Our heroine is an abused wife and devoted mother trying desperately to find a way to make a new life for herself and her son. in attempting to escape her psycopathic husbamd she ends up in her superstar neighbor's pool house, irrevocably meshing their fates. Behind the Lies was 'Truth, Justice and the Montgomery way', where blood is always thicker, and rules were meant to be broken! :) it was tense, action-packed, and thrilling, and while I did see some of the outcomes, it was no less fun getting there.LITERAL ADDICTION gives Behind the Lies 5 Skulls and would definitely recommend it!
