Synopsis (Goodreads):
It was her father's dying wish that Samantha Elliot search for her grandmother, who'd disappeared from Louisville when she was a baby. So here she was in New York City...her parents dead, her divorce final, and she was all alone....Thoughts on Sweet Liar: This is a reread for me, but it has been many MANY moons since I last immersed myself in all things Montgomery/Taggert. And HOO-BOY do I like Mike and Sam and Mike's endless relatives that show up at unexpected moments. (No lie, the callbacks to other couples made me make heart eyes at the series as a whole and I'm pretty sure I'm rereading them all now.)
Michael Taggert was Samantha’s landlord—and she was charmed by this handsome, life-loving man. Yet every time Mike tried to get closer to Samantha, he ran into a brick wall. Now, as he helps her unravel her grandmother’s past—and the dangerous truth about a fateful spring night in 1928 and a seductive jazz singer—Mike slowly reawakens the joy and affection Samantha had buried long ago…
BUT FIRST, Mike and Sam. Mike is the easygoing one in this relationship. He likes women, he likes his friends. His family can be a nuisance, but they're always quick to have his back (and tell all about the fascinating young woman living in his townhouse to the out-of-town members of the clan) when he needs them. Sam is the opposite. She's had to hold herself so tightly through all the tragedies that have happened during her life that she doesn't know how to be Sam anymore. Being forced to search for a grandmother that disappeared when she was a baby is just another thing in a long list of things that have ground her down.
Sam and Mike are oil and water and it takes time and a little danger and a lot of frustration (on both their parts) before these two find their groove. Sam learns to live again and Mike comes to realize that Sam is the most important person in the world to him. His family (his huge, enormous, glorious family) adores Sam and folds her in with them from the start.
Danger, heartache, the twin test, mobsters, family, a man who will do anything for his lady, and a lady who finds herself after a lifetime of loss. MAN, I'm ready for the rest of the Montgomerys and Taggerts in all their wild glory!
