About the Book

A little lie can change the course of everything. . .

Like every other eighteen-year-old in love, Olivia has dreams of spending forever with the love of her life. Luke is all she’s ever wanted – until she overhears something she was never meant to. In a matter of seconds, Olivia’s heart is shattered. Olivia handles it the only way she knows how - she runs- leaving behind her family, friends and the boy she loves.

Seeking comfort and an escape, Olivia finds it in resident bad boy Deacon. He’s everything Luke isn’t – and that’s fine with Olivia.

Now, seven years later, Olivia is older, wiser and headed back to Chicago looking forward to a fresh start and reconnecting with her best friend Pyper. What she doesn’t expect, is to come face to face with the boy she left behind and discover that even though she may have left, her feelings for him didn’t.

Can Olivia put aside the pain in her heart and trust Luke? Will the ties to her past ever let her go, or will she continue to let her life be affected by pretty little lies?

My Reveiw

I’m not sure where to begin. There were so many parts of this debut novel that I LOVED.

Pyper is an amazing friend and the dialogue between them is hilarious, especially when they’re together at social functions. And there were many moments of…Oh my God! That did not just happened! Olivia is an amazing character. I enjoyed seeing her develop and grow throughout the story—finding herself, and finally believing in herself. I can’t say enough about how amazing Luke was…protector, romantic, and simply swoon-worthy. He’s so determined to win her back and the things that he does was SO sweet, you can’t help fall in love with him. One of my favorite lines from Luke: I’ve never forgotten you, Olivia. Never. I can’t let you go again. Don’t ask me to.”

Each chapter had a fashion tip. OMG! I LOVED THEM!!! Pretty Little Lies was well written, the story flowed well, and the characters were not only amazing, but believable too. With lots of humor, romance, heartbreak, forgiveness, friendship, passion, struggles, and self-discovery, this novel had it all. As I wondered if there would be a sequel toward the end, I found out….YES!!! And Wow! What an ending. Oh…did I mention how much I laughed out loud, felt my heart tug in good and painful way. Pretty Little Lies is a beautiful love story about second chances…there is no little lies about that!!!

De La Cruz Saga by P.T. Macias

Thank you for the invite. It’s a pleasure to be visiting you and sharing my De La Cruz Saga. The De La Cruz Saga is an amazing emotional roller coaster ride of romance, suspense, and intense passion. Its steamy material is a little erotic. The stories are well written, full of Mexican traditions, and culture. Enjoy their explosively passionate nature. The saga is a twelve book series. I have five out and four more should be out by the end of August 2013.

De La Cruz Saga contains Spanish. Saga has a subtle influence of Spanish and the Spanish becomes more laced (as the story progresses). I write in the present tense because I believe it puts the reader "IN" the action, rather than as part of an "after thought". I believe it brings the characters to life! My writing is not traditional literature. It does not have the fluff (excessive description, stage, settings, prose). My intent is to have the reader visualize and feel the characters story. This is my voice, my style. Dare to read the awesome De La Cruz Saga that’s full of passion and suspense.

Hot & Spicy, De La Cruz Saga by P.T. Macias

The hot-blooded saga of the De La Cruz Familia (family) and their fortune is centered on the romantic relationships of explosively passionate kind.

He’s expected to introduce his fiancée to the familia at the company’s 25^th anniversary celebration. The familia is clueless that he doesn’t have one. The familia is anxious to meet his fiancée, but he doesn’t have one. He doesn’t’ have time to commit to a chica, not until he meets Jessica Maria Cortez.

His hermana (sister) Patricia agrees to obtain a novia for him. Paty entice’s her amiga (friend) to pretend to be his loving fiancée.

Jessica Maria Cortez has always loved him and grasps this opportunity.

Jessica rocks his world and unchains his alma (soul). The hot pasion rages through his blood erupting into hot spicy amor.

In no time at all, Jose Enrique and Jessica find themselves budding up into a relationship with tantalizing ecstasy. With everything falling into place for the De La Cruz’s, it looks like the entire family is about to plunge into an ocean of nightmare and chaos before they can say “Cheers!” for the De La Cruz, Inc.

The pasion, danger, and hot tantalizing ecstasy rocks Jose Enrique’s world. He’s thrust into war, danger, and suspense. The De La Cruz’s defy the deadly Mexican cartel dictates.

♥Hot & Enchanting, De La Cruz Saga (Amazon review)

I have not had the pleasure of reading the other books in this saga. I can tell you that it was a very captivating story line and you never knew for sure what would happen next. The traditions and beliefs of the family were well written into the story and was glad to see they were included. I do recommend that you read the entire saga to get a good firm grasp on the entire story line. I believe you will be thrilled to see where this takes you. It is a "Hot" read so I do suggest that you read it away from the little ones.

Thank you Patricia for the awesome story!!

As beta-reader for Patricia Macias, I get to read the De La Cruz Saga before the rest of you. I've got to say that with each new book, I have a new favorite - new favorite book, new favorite primo (cousin), new favorite couple. This one was no exception!

Sebastian Antonio De La Cruz (Tony) is my new favorite. He is a strong, stubborn man who knows what he wants and always finds a way to get it! Until he meets Cynthia Lopez, that is. He hates spoiled, whiny mujeres (women). And believe me, Cynthia is about as spoiled as they come! You have to read this story to find out what happens! You won't regret it if you do!
