"This is honestly one of the best M/M romance novels I have read, and EM Lynley has found herself one very happy new fan.
This story is an awakening of true love and romance for its main
characters. The time shared between Jaxon and Kieran is not only
erotic, but also powerfully sensual and romantic. As the tension and
emotional strain escalate, it becomes almost palpable, and puts you
right into the hearts of these two amazing men." (Read full review)
4.5 Kisses from Two Lips Reviews
Sex, Lies, and Wedding Bells is an intensely emotional read that I had a hard time putting down. I love how EM Lynley
brought all these powerful emotions to the surface which serve to pull
the reader into the story and make you root for her characters from
start to finish. The inner conflicts and sex are emotionally charged
and very gripping. Kieran is a jaded reporter who works for what could
only be called a smut magazine which lead Kieran to learn, the hard
way, through all this that there is a price to selling out. Jaxon is
confused as he has always believed himself straight and a man that goes
after what he wants. But when life throws him a curve ball of being
attracted to another man, Jaxon finds out he might not be as straight
as he once thought. Read Sex Lies and Wedding Bells for some emotionally charged angst that will keep you on the edge of your seat. (Read the full review)
4.5 Nymphs from the Literary Nymphs
Sex, Lies
and Wedding Bells is
an intriguing saga of how secrets and lies can hurt. Kieran prefers men to
female lovers and is attracted to Jaxon, yet he makes no attempt to seduce him,
thinking that Jaxon is straight. What started out as curiosity for Jaxon soon
evolves into an eagerness to be intimate with Kieran. Danetta is self-absorbed;
she gives no thought to anyone’s happiness but her own. EM Lynley has created a
fascinating tale with a touch of mystery, betrayal and interesting revelations
as the plot unfolds. The characters are realistic and the love scenes are
sensuous. I enjoyed this impressive story immensely, Read the full review
4/5 from the BookWenches
Sex, Lies, and Wedding Bells by E. M. Lynley is a story
of love and self-discovery that pairs up two completely disparate individuals:
a smart-mouthed gay journalist and an arrow-straight small-town educator.
Besides finding completely unexpected love together, these two affect a change
in each other: Kieran has his eyes opened to the hurtful potential of the words
he writes, and Jaxon realizes that perhaps the gender of the one you love is
not as important as who that person is.
This is a well-written story that is populated with interesting
and well-developed characters and that contains enough suspense to hook a
reader in. Kieran is perhaps not an immediately sympathetic individual, but it
is not long before we see that his veneer of self-confident charm hides a
sympathetic core. We don’t get to know Jaxon quite as well, but his confusion
over his developing attachment to Kieran renders him agreeable. Along with the
interpersonal dynamics between these two, we are also drawn in to the story by
the mystery that surrounds the bride. What is it about her that keeps her exes
from feeling ill-will towards her? And when Kieran finds the truth, how much of
it will he put into his article for his employer? He’s down in
Texas
to write a derisive story about the situation, not to try to shield anyone’s
feelings.
Watching these two fall in love is incredibly sweet, and when
Kieran and Jaxon finally have sex, the scenes are very sensual, and their
mutual exploration is tender and caring. There is no doubt that these two are
meant for each other and that they deserve a happy ending.
Readers looking for a love story
that is not quite traditional but is nevertheless sweet may wish to give Sex, Lies, and Wedding Bells a
shot. This might not be Pulitzer Prize material, but reading it is a
very pleasant use of time.

4 stars from Jessewave
"This is a delightful sexual romp and if you have only a little free
time it would be a nice way to spend it. Both protags were three
dimensional and they seemed as real as anyone you would meet on the
street... I would definitely recommend this story.
