I enjoyed this sequel to Phantom in the Night. It moved at a good pace and the characters were solidly written. The story was complex but not difficult to follow. Can't wait for the third book in the series!

After reading the reviews, I was expecting a very entertaining read. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. Bad, cliched writing, predictable characters, confusing plot . . . I finished it, but didn't enjoy it at all.

Picking up where the last book stopped this newest in the BAD series is defiantely a good read. As always the bad boys turned good are hot sexy and deeper than they let on. Nice twist with Mirage at the end. another all around fun read by the queen of fun reads.

I have just finished reading this book. It was great. It's action packed and kept going at a good pace. Nice love story. Carlos is sweet and tender. It's a great love story with action. I like those.

It's a bit slow in the beginning. I kept flipping ahead wondering when the action was going to start. There were moments, like the attempted kidnapping, but the whole part of her being captured and quetioned drove me nuts! I think Kenyon and Love have a good plot idea with interesting characters...just the book needed to be weeded (edit) a bit.

Carlos Delgado has secrets from a his past that he is in a constant state of worry that they will catch up with him. Gabrielle Saxe has been hiding for 10 years from a killer. Apparently a lot of people want a piece of innnocent Gabrielle. Both have a hard time trusting people because they have been let down severely in the past. For the most part it makes an interesting read.

That is how I feel about this book. I mean the whole concept of the story is good but it continued to drag on and on.I am so grateful I went to the liberary

Great book, keeps the story line going for the BAD guys:) Can' wait for the next one!

I read the reviews for this book before I bought it, so I went into it with the idea that I was in for a good read. It took me days just to get past the second chapter. Somehow anything on tv was more interesting than that book. I wasn't grabbed up and swept away. I didn't feel any thrills or excitement about venturing in the BAD world. I didn't feel much of a spark between the hero and heroine, and by the time I got to the first love scene, alllll the way in the middle of that big book, I read it and was like, "eh". I've put the book down, and will sit it on the shelf, probably never to finish. For some reason I got the idea that the heroine was more ballsy, having to survive the way she did for some many years, and she turned out to seem really owl-eyed and easily startled. Oh well. I'm still a Sherrilyn Kenyon fan and will continue to read her solo ventures in the future.

I have been a Sherrilyn Kenyon fan for years. I enjoyed this book but I didn't think it ranked up there with her Acheron series or her other B.A.D. books. It was still a good story and well worth reading. If you are a fan, don't miss it.

I am big fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon. I found this book very slow and hard to stay interested. I love the BAD series, but I did not care for this book at all.

Carlos Delgado is used to living on the edge. As a member of the covert government agency BAD, Bureau for American Defense, he frequently is involved in risky missions. His latest mission starts with a tip about a kidnapping... and leads him straight to Mirage, an anonymous tipster sought by every intelligence agency in the world. Little does Carlos expect Mirage to be a woman! Mirage, also known as Gabrielle Saxe, has a hidden agenda, one that could jeopardize everything Carlos has fought for. Will Gabrielle and Carlos stand a chance at a happily-ever-after once their hidden pasts are revealed?

I'm a huge fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunters, but wasn't as enthusiastic about this particular series. Part of my trepidation came from the name of the covert agency as BAD just sounded, well, bad to me. But oh wow, did Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love ever prove me wrong! WHISPERED LIES is a fast paced adventure that I just couldn't put down!

It was the characters that really made WHISPERED LIES work for me. Gabrielle and Carlos both have been hurt in the past but neither one has given up. Instead, they are both survivors, fighting every day to succeed and conquer those forces that have hurt them. While some of the situations they encounter might be a bit over-the-top, it is the strength of the character development that made it all believable in the context of the overall world.

WHISPERED LIES is a fascinating romantic suspense tale! Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love do a phenomenal job at crafting a story that is both intense and romantic. Easily recommended!

At first I was a little hesitant about the ability of two writers to create one smooth writing voice. No problem at all in this series. Although we may think that every possible combination of wounded warrior, devoted female and scummy villians have been already written about--this book kept me surprised, interested to the very end and eager for the next book. Great location--tremendous plotting right out of today's headlines--and the levels of conflict that each character must resolve was reasonable and fascinating. First class new series from an "old" pro
and--maybe--her prodigy!

Great book. This one is just as much fun as Kenyon's other "BAD" books.
Curl up with this one for a great night.

AS ALWAYS, SHERRILYN KENYON DOES A GREAT JOB. YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG READING ONE OF HER BOOKS. DIANA LOVE I DON'T KNOW, BUT CO-WRITING WITH MS. KENYON WAS A BRILLIANT MOVE.

Outstanding as all her other ones are!! Sherrilyn Kenyon has a great sense of humor that she passes onto her characters.

The Bureau of American Defense has just received a lead on the world's most dangerous organization. The Fratelli de il Sovrano is a maniacal terrorist group and B.A.D. has seen all too well the destruction they can unleash. B.A.D. agent Carlos Delgado is determined to see the Fratelli brought down, and it's clear that the agency's only hope of doing so is to capture a mysterious informant known only as Mirage. When Mirage provides information that enables Carlos and his team to rescue a diplomat's daughter from being turned over to the Fratelli, B.A.D. tracks Mirage down and sends Carlos to get the elusive informant. But Mirage isn't at all what Carlos expects.

After several attempts on her life, Gabrielle Saxe went on the run, and has lived off the radar for a decade. Now, she uses her phenomenal computer skills to send anonymous tips on criminals to various intelligence agencies around the world. Gabrielle's world is turned upside down once again with the arrival of a sexy agent she doesn't know if she can trust. Gabrielle has every reason to be wary of Carlos, and he of her. Despite this, the pair can't help but be drawn together as they team up to stop the Fratelli's latest plot. But can newfound love hope to survive in the face of the danger the Fratelli presents, not to mention the lovers' own respective pasts catching up to them?

Passion, danger, and romance pack one heck of a punch in the latest, thrilling installment of the BAD Agency series. Whispered Lies is a sexy adrenaline rush of a tale that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Carlos is, quite simply, the perfect hero (without ever being cardboard perfect). He's sexy, caring, protective, and has a past that has left him with scars on his heart and an uncertain future. I absolutely adored Gabrielle. She's utterly brilliant and, though not a trained agent, nevertheless steps up to do all she can to save the lives of innocents. She has a strength of character I admire and it made her the perfect match for Carlos.

Though the seventh book in the series (third full-length novel), the authors provide enough information that Whispered Lies can stand on its own. However, fans of the previous B.A.D. book, Phantom in the Night, will know that the Fratelli storyline began in that story.

Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love, each phenomenal writers in their own right, are an extraordinary writing team, as Whispered Lies shows. I absolutely loved Whispered Lies the first, second, and (as I re-read yet again) third time around. It's everything a romantic suspense should be and I cannot wait to see what happens in the next B.A.D. tale. Joyfully Recommended!

Mirage sends email to the Bureau of American Defense (BAD) informing them where they can find the kidnapped diplomat's daughter; abducted by the dangerous Fratelli de il Sovrano. BAD operatives succeed in the rescue, but are curious about who this Mirage is, how she knew so much about the kidnapping and other crime activities, and why Interpol wants her arrested.

Following the rescue, BAD operative Carlos Delgado begins an inquiry into Mirage. He identifies her as French heiress Gabrielle Tynte Saxe, who hides in Atlanta from her former husband and the mobster who killed her mother by blowing up a bus of innocents. Carlos brings Gabrielle into BAD protection with him as her bodyguard. She proves to have a wealth of information on the South American drug cartel run by the Anguis mob, the family responsible for her mother's death. When the Fratelli discovers where she is, they come for her; only Carlos, falling in love with her, vows to keep Gabrielle safe or die trying.

The second BAD romantic suspense thriller (see PHANTOM IN THE NIGHT) is an exhilarating action-packed tale as Gabrielle and Carlos team up in love to strop the Fratelli gang from succeeding in their newest diabolical scheme. The premise is over the top of the High Museum, but fun to follow as the action never slows down except for heated sexual interludes. Fans will enjoy macho Carlos falling in love with a courageous nerd while seemingly half the globe is after her.
