    About this audiobook

    He had no idea it was so bad.

    Former FBI agent Garrison Kopp suspected his teenage son was in trouble, but a midnight summons to the ER reveals the drug problem is more serious than he thought. Desperate to get his son away from negative influences, he asks a beautiful and kind new friend who owns rental properties for a place to stay.

    She'll help, as long as she doesn't have to risk anything.

    Vacation homeowner Samantha Messenger is happy to provide Garrison and his son a lake cabin where they can regroup. She helps him search for a good rehab facility and tries not to hope for more than friendship. After what she's been through, more isn't an option, no matter what her heart wants.

    Big trouble comes in tiny packages.

    Sparks fly between them as Sam and Garrison work together to help the resistant teen.
    But that becomes the least of their problems when a package planted in Garrison's car lures enemies to the idyllic cabin on the lake. With their lives-and love-on the line, can they protect all they hold dear?

    Generous Lies
    Author

    Robin Patchen

    Aside from her family and her Savior, Robin Patchen has two loves—writing and traveling. If she could combine them, she’d spend a lot of time sitting in front of her laptop at sidewalk cafes and ski lodges and beachside burger joints. She’d visit every place in the entire world—twice, if possible—and craft stories and tell people about her Savior. Alas, time is too short and money is too scarce for Patchen to traipse all over the globe, even if her husband and kids wanted to go with her. So she stays in Oklahoma, shares the Good News when she can, and writes to illustrate the unending grace of God through the power and magic of story.

      The gist of the story seemed interesting but I didn’t like the voice of the narrator and her enunciation. I’ve listened to more than 100 audiobooks and this book is one of the very few books I had to set aside because of the narrator ?
    • 5/5
      Generous Lies is the third book in Robin Patchen’s Hidden Truth series. This book is as wonderful as the first two. I love that the mysteries in these books do not feel patterned or predictable. This third book revolves around two youth: Aiden, the son of former FBI agent Garrison Kopp, is a drug addict; Matty O’Brien, Aiden’s dealer and best friend, is thrown into a dangerous situation created by his often-absent father. As Garrison strives to get help for his son, he seeks refuge in the town where the friends he made in Hidden Truth’s second book, Twisted Lives, reside. There Samantha Messenger supports both Garrison and Aiden in their path toward healing. Little do they know that they are being tracked by Aiden’s friend Matty and his father in an effort to retrieve a package that Matty stowed in the trunk of the Kopp’s vehicle. There are some very dangerous men who are determined to take possession of this package. Generous Lies promotes hope and healing, both physical and emotional. Patchen uses this platform to let her readers know about the Author of Hope without being preachy, but with characters who demonstrate love and mercy rather than judgement and condemnation. I recommend this book and this series to mystery fans, especially those who like a little romance woven into a good mystery. I thank Robin for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. I received no monetary compensation.

      Title: Generous Lies (Hidden Truth #3)Author: Robin PatchenPages: 386Year: 2017Publisher: CreateSpaceMy rating 5 out of 5 stars.Generous Lies is the third installment in the Hidden Truth series. The first two novels are Convenient Lies and Twisted Lies. Robin Patchen’s stories are very riveting with a mixture of adventure, danger, mystery and a touch of romance. Here, a former FBI agent, Garrison, and his son are in a small town while his son recovers from a mixture of drugs he took at a party. At the same time, a young man’s father has given him a mysterious package to hide until the time for delivery.When these two events collide, the party and hiding the package, tension ramps up when undesirable repercussions occur. Aiden, who is recovering from his drug affects, now faces the only real choice he has, which is rehab. Garrison, who has been talking with Samantha, who owns the cabins on the lake where they are staying, are falling hard for each other, but their pasts are causing some obstacles they must decide to be honest about or let the possible future together go.Each tale in the series is riveting and grabs not just the attention of readers like myself but the heart too. The perfect balance of real life issues, with a climatic ending makes for very exciting reading for me! There will soon be another novel in the series to be released by the author, so if you want to catch up in the story make these books a part of your holiday wish list. Maybe you know readers who would enjoy the series and give them a book or two to start their journey of adventure!Don’t pass up Robin’s wonderful Hidden Truth series; it is the best with more to come!Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog.
