Sybil Review: Love Lies by MaryJanice Davidson

It should be noted I am something of a maryjanice davidson fangirl. I am not sure if she could write something I hate.

Another note I come from a long background of reading xfiles fanfic.

When I first started to read Love Lies, I so thought I had read it before. There are quite a few mulder drugged/mindcontroled/drunk/chip implant made him rape scully but omg her loves her stories out there.

Of course, don’t they say there are really only x amount of plots in fiction?

All that aside I liked the story. Parts of it made me go ‘eh’, like the sleeping in the same bed right after I forced you to marry me so I don’t take the child we made while I raped you away. (Hmmm that sounds like shit when said that way).

It isn’t the best thing she has written but her ‘voice’ is present. Her humor shows through in these characters even at the worst of times. And it really is a character driven story. At the most I would rate it an R, so if you are looking of a hot, smutty elloras cave story this isn’t it. Thief of Hearts is going to be my next MJD read.

Grade: C

Victor Lawrence has everything a man could want…until he runs into Ashley Lorentz and finds out what he REALLY wants. Ashley, for her part, can’t believe the wealthy, dashing Victor could possibly be interested in a mutt like her. Their fragile trust is shattered one night when Victor, out of his head, takes Ashley by force. A child is conceived as a result of Victor’s actions, leaving Ashley with some decisions to make…

Rated by Ellora’s Cave: Hard R
