A grandmaster of lies and deception

Drake Radcliffe has spent half his life in the shadows. Recruited by the CIA when he was barely out of high school, Drake doesn’t know how to have a normal life. While most people his age were playing sports or video games, he was playing spy games with the world’s most dangerous adversaries. It has been a life filled with thrills and adrenaline, but it’s also been lonely. All that might change when a mistake from Drake’s past rears its ugly head and he’s forced to face the only woman he ever loved—the one he’d vowed to stay away from.

A beacon of love and compassion

Taylor Cline committed the cardinal sin in her world—she fell for another operative. Drake was everything she wanted in a man, until he broke her heart. She had one unforgettable night with him and then he never looked back. Her future threatened and family in ruins, she shut down and moved on, hoping to never see him again. Just as she is beginning to put it all behind her, a critical assignment puts her under his authority and right back in his arms.

A deadly mission that brings them together

From the wilds of Wyoming to the glittering cities of Europe, Drake and Taylor must race against time to uncover the truth and expose an evil organization. The stakes couldn’t be higher. If they fail, the world could crumble. If they succeed, they could finally have everything their hearts desire.

Love it!!! Must read!!
5 Stars
Love it!!! Must read!!
O.M.G…..I love you, Lexi Blake!! You have never disappointed me or any of your readers. The only thing one can expect from any of your books is all of the feels us readers feels while reading. I laugh, cry, feel proud, feel on edge, get angry, and so much more while getting lost in the world of Masters and Mercenaries!! Ian Taggert is still the whole package! As always with any of Lexi’s books, No Time To lie is filled with lots of surprises, twists, turns, things going sideways, drama, angst, laughter, love, all the feels, and so much heat (the very best panty melting kind of heat). I love all aspects of BDSM that is found in any of Lexi’s Masters and Mercenaries world. Drake and Taylor definitely benefited from aspects of the D/s relationship that worked for them. Just remember when reading No Time To Lie or any of Lexi’s books you will never see what is coming! She will always surprise you. When you think you know what is coming things will go sideways. As I am sure you have figured out I love and highly recommend No Time To Lie, Masters and Mercenaries Reloaded series, and Lexi Blake as an author (she is one of my top 5 favorite author). I can definitely not wait for The Dom Who Came In From The Cold (can’t wait for MaeBe to give Kyle hell) and I really want to see what the next generation will do. Lexi gave us a small tastes in the epilogues from several of Masters and Mercenaries Reloaded books in the series. Another small warning make sure you make the time to read. I had some important things I had to take care of but I just couldn’t help reading No Time To Lie and read it from start to finish with little interruptions (couldn’t put it down) then had to work overtime trying to catch up but it was soo worth it.Happy reading!!

Short review: read it

Lexi Blake is a must buy, must read author. This stand-alone is easy to follow and difficult to put down. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

Compelling storyline of spy games, emotional turmoil and love. Descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene. Lexi Blake has, as usual, done an excellent job of helping folks understand emotions and realities and how to work through them. Believable characters with distinct personalities and somewhat twisted childhoods. Thought-provoking, memorable and occasionally snarky dialogue.

‘Her dad wouldn’t blame her for being dumb enough to fall for Drake Radcliffe. He would wrap his arms around her and kiss her forehead like he did when she was a child and tell her that her heart was far too big and open for this world, and she couldn’t help but try to give pieces of it away.
Then he would have quietly killed Drake Radcliffe, taken his body apart, and buried it on different continents.
She really, really missed her dad.’

“But I am saying if you love someone you help them have the best life they can possibly have, and that means ensuring they’re not walking around scared all the time. Fear is not the place I want to be making a choice from, and I certainly don’t want that for my daughters any more than I would my sons.

I will re-read this story and always look forward to, pre-order when possible, new works by this author.

Another great book from Lexi Blake.

Here we're getting Drake's story. Now he's been in the McKay-Taggart universe for some time, but we didn’t know much about him besides that he worked for the CIA and he was super intelligent and young.

We learn more about Drake here and what makes him tick. At this point he's been in the agency for about a decade and has seen his fair share of crap. Also he was betrayed by his own sister so you can understand why he doesn’t trust anyone.

He realizes that he has no real friends or anyone that he can trust because if his job.

Enter Taylor, she isn't on the same level as Drake in the agency but they have reason to believe that maybe she's not trustworthy because of her ties. But Drake wants so bad to trust her and believe that she's honest with him.

They spend sometime with each other really getting to know one another and then Taylor is accused of things she did not do and not only does Drake let them take her he doesn’t go after her.

Now it's some time later and Drake and Taylor are once again thrown together but this time Taylor is not going to fall for Drake, not again.

But Drake is determined to have her and he won't stop until she's his again.

He's also been in the game for so long he doesn’t know how to navigate relationships and how to show the people around him he cares.

I loved how he knew what he wanted and that was Taylor he was done playing games and wanted her to be his. And he would do anything to have her. I also loved how self aware Drake was. And I absolutely loved the groveling.

Taylor has been through a lot and having Drake just discard her like she was nothing really hurt. She opened up to him in a way she didn’t usually do with people. She shared things with him for him to turn around and distrust her.

She was heartbroken and she wasn’t going to get herself in that position again no matter all the sweet words that Drake was using on her.

I love how strong she was and she didn't take crap from no one. She was tough in the field too. I like that she was strong and could protect herself.

Taylor and Drake together was so sweet, I love the fact that he also after some convincing didn’t try to stop her from her mission. This was another great read for me.

But let me tell you the next book is the one I have been waiting for forever! Since Maebe and Kyle were brought into the books I have wanted their story.

I liked the book. It was predictable and minor twists. I like the future epilogue is greatness. I see lots of books of MM and possibly Sirens.

Great story. So well written. Wild plot twists. Snappy dialogue and those oh so fabulous characters. I laughed, I panicked, I loved it even if it made me super duper fidgety. My dogs know when I’m reading a Lexi book and won’t stay in the same room with me.

If you love Lexi, buy this book. If you’re looking for suspense, great romance and a way to jerk your nerves back to life, buy this book.

I would just like to begin by saying my favorite thing about @authorlexiblake as an author is she always finds a way to bring past characters back, and all of her series connect with overlapping characters. I loved this book off the bat when past characters came back to help with the mission and then more kept popping up throughout. It certainly wouldn’t be a Lexi Blake book without Ian Taggart and all of his wisdom when it comes to love. It never gets old listening to how he feels about Charlie.

Okay, now on to the actual couple of the book, Drake and Taylor. Drake and Taylor have been through a lot given they grew up as spies, trained by their fathers at very young ages so they don’t really know how to have normal friendships and relationships. They meet unexpectedly and spend a week snowed in together, however things happen that lead to an 18 month separation. When they come back together it is clear they were told different lies and had their own personal misconceptions on the situation at hand.

Taylor is stubborn and unwilling to forgive the situation, but Drake immediately admits his faults and is ready to fight for her. Drake being able to recognize his feelings and know what Taylor needs is what made them such a great couple. In the end they needed to work together to achieve the mission.

I have been dying for Kyle and MaeBe’s story ever since they were introduced and I am beyond excited for their story to be told in February! Also I am hoping that sneak peak at the next generation will bring on a new spinoff, although I seriously need a refresher course on who’s children are who and which are dating which already!

No plot spoilers
No potential triggers
There are no errors that I can recall
There is some swearing and there are some sex scenes of a BDSM nature lightly written.
The characterisation is absolutely perfect, the reader being given a deeper insight into Drake and introducing Taylor.
I lost my way a bit with this book, and struggled to pick it up again. Mostly, I think, because of how much Julia Ennis is so very much a female Levi Green (most favourite love to hate character ever) and also the continuation of the Collective as the Consortium.
It makes for some outstanding WTF moments, yet at the same time it felt like a re-invention and I was a little bored with the backstory.
I would have loved to learn more about Lev.
I am looking forward to reading Kyle's story and if the epilogue is anything to go by then the future at The Agency is full of Taggart's!
I have no problem recommending the book but would advise reading from the beginning to obtain the best reading experience.
