Goodreads description--Holden
I let my guard down.
And got screwed over by a woman without even knowing why.
But it won’t happen again.
Because the only thing I care about is burning this whole place down.

Rowan
Two can play this game.
I gave my heart to a man who set out from the get-go to destroy it.
Now I’m more than ready to show him just who he messed with.
You wanted a war, Holden Knight.
You’ve got one.

Holden Knight has a plan to take down two men and their families that were responsible for the hit and run that killed his brother along with the coverup that resulted. In the previous book, Twisted Knight, you can see that Holden's plan originally included taking down Rowan as well. He had an interaction or two with her twin sister that led him to believe she was the same as the rest of her family, but he has since realized that she isn't. And his plans have changed. But all of the lies that he told at the beginning of the previous book are catching up with him.

Rowan fell in love with Holden. But now she's uncovered a piece of his plan which was to cut her out of the company she has worked so hard to keep going for her grandmother's sake. She loves the company, and she realizes that she never trusted Holden, perhaps with good reasons. She goes about trying to acheive her goal by other means which is to get married so she can get her inheritance. She agrees to marry, Chad, one of the men in Holden's sights and a man that has been in love with her his whole life. Chad knows she isn't agreeing to marry him because she loves him. But he's willing to play his part to get what he wants. Only Rowan begins to see that Holden is keeping up his end of the bargain and giving her all of the things he agreed to.

Language is intense. But thankfully, the physical scenes weren't as intense as the previous book--except maybe the dress scene. There wasn't as many of them, I don't think. It isn't like I counted them. I do wish skipping those spicy scenes was easier to do on audio.

The plot brought me back for this second book. And I do plan to finish the series out. But personal preferences are less language and less spice. I am giving Threaded Lies 3 Stars. If I wasn't already invested, I probably would have skipped this series, but now that I'm here, I need to know what's going to happen in the end. Have you read or listened to Threaded Lies?
