Sweet Liar (The Montgomery/Taggert Family Book 6)

One of my all-time favorites from Jude Deveraux. I try to read it at least once a year so that I can drench myself in the romance and history. I recommend this book to all my friends, along with Knight in Shining Armor.

Michael Taggert is a man who will throw you against the wall. Strong and sexy and charming, he actually took a woman shopping!!! That had to be one of my favorite scenes ... Willing to spend any amount of money on Samantha in Saks. This was my first Deveraux novel and will remain my favorite, for I think it is one of the strongest love stories I've ever read.

This is an accurate, heartbreakingly romantic contemporary/ historical novel about a woman (Samantha Elliot) whose family has died, so as her father's dying wish, she goes to New York for a year to search for her gangster's moll grandmother, "Maxie." In the process, she meets Michael Taggert (one of the Colorado Taggerts, who everyone knows are "poor" and "dirty" in comparison to their more illustrious Montgomery cousins; Anthony "Doc, The Surgeon" Barrett; Blair, Mike's doctor-cousin; Raine Montgomery, another cousin; and a host of other characters' including Kane Taggert, Mike's twin brother. (There's an old Taggert saying, " you marry the one that can tell the twins apart") Samantha and Mike go to a picnic with Mike's relatives and Samantha is "tested" by Kane, of whom she doesn't know even exists.( I won't tell whether or not she passes) Its a beautifully written, magical story that will capture your heart. A related story is The Invitation, a book also by Jude Deveraux. In it are three different romances (one of which is Kane Taggert's story.) Anyway, I've praised my bit. I really liked this story, I've read it at least four times

Written when Jude D. was at her absolute best. Of all the romance authors I've read (and there have been 100's), this is my all time favorite book. I have read it so many times, loaned it out so many times, replaced it a couple of times AND downloaded it to my Kindle.

Cannot say enough for the characters, the story line, and just the whole romance of Sweet Liar.

Love it, love it, love it.

I have just recently discovered Jude's books. I read the Nantucket Brides series and LOVED them. I found this story on sale and decided to read it. I was not disappointed at all and I loved the storyline and the twists in the story. Wonderful male and female characters in this story. Highly recommend it. I have not read any of the previous Montgomery/Taggert books so this was great as a stand alone but just tying in some previous characters. I like that I did not have to read the prior books to enjoy this one. Very well written and loved the prose.
