Her --Sloane Locke has led a sheltered life. However, with a history like hers, she can understand why her brothers and her father want so much to protect her. She has gone along with it for twenty long years, but those days are over. For the girl who never makes promises, Sloane has made a pact with herself that things will change on her twenty-first birthday. So when the clock strikes midnight, Sloane strikes out to spread her wings and break a few rules. Him --In addition to inking skin, Hemi Spencer possesses many talents. Controlling himself has never been one of them. It's never had to be. He's lived a life of indulgence for as long as he can remember. Right up until tragedy struck. Now, he's nothing but controlled. He's a man on a mission, one who will let nothing and no one stand in his way. Them-- Nothing in their lives could've prepared Sloane and Hemi for what they'd find in each other--distraction and obsession, love and possession. But the one thing they can't find is a future. Neither one has been totally honest. And they'll soon learn that the devil is in the details. In the details and in the lies. How far will two people go to live in the now when the now is all they've got?"--Page 4 of cover… (mais)

O.K.....I admit that I probably rate books highly. It's because I enjoy reading so much I guess. I LOVED this story. It was exactly the type of book I thoroughly enjoy. Hemi was smoking hot! I could read this again tomorrow. There is a bit of mystery but no cheating or much angst which I am happy about. ( )

I've read M. Leighton's Bad Boy Series ([b:Down to You|16001893|Down to You (The Bad Boys, #1)|M. Leighton|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1374696141s/16001893.jpg|21763760]) before and while I found the series to be a disappointment overall, I really liked the first book in the series because I felt that it had a lot of potential for a great story. So while that series flopped on me, I decided to give this new series a try as it seemed right up my alley.

Even though I've only read one series by M. Leighton, I can definitely see that she has a formula when it comes to her New Adult reads. Cue a bad-boy with a heart of gold, an innocent heroine and the heroine's BFF who is more "experienced" than her in every way. As I read All the Pretty Lies, I definitely saw the parallels to to You (Bad Boys #1) but overall, the plots are very different so I didn't feel like I was reading a complete regurgitation of another book.

But I did find the plot to be very predictable. I was hoping for some great twists but I found the book was pretty linear in its progression. Which was fine because I did find it enjoyable despite knowing what would happen next.

As for the characters, I liked Sloane. I found it easy to understand her character and her through process throughout the book. Hemi is sweet but he's nothing new to write home about. I found them to be super cute together and that they had a connection emotionally as well as physically--which I think is sometimes lacking in this genre.

I find it interesting that the next book is about Reese and not one of Sloane's brothers. I think I would have preferred that path instead but I'm interested to see what is going to happen next. What I am happy about it is the conclusion of Hemi and Sloane's story within this novel and not seeing it dragged out in another book.

Overall: While nothing overly memorable, I did enjoy this book. It had everything I like in a New Adult: cute couple, drama and a touch of mystery. It was a nice way to spend a few hours and made me excited to read the other books I have from M. Leighton despite not liking previously read works by her.
