One captivating women, at least two superhot, compelling men, dazzling life of the ultra-rich, secret societies, mystery, lies, deceit, suspense, intrigue, and of course sizzling sex!  Need I say more?Beautiful Norah Ross [student-artist/22 years/black hair/brown eyes] has moved to Massachusetts to finish her final semester of graphic design.  Attending the same university (McLaren) is her childhood friend, Josh Hollows [student/22 years/brown hair/green eyes].  On the eve that she has decided her and Josh will take their friendship to another level they attend Josh's secret society's (Lappell's) "final test" party.  But instead they end up having a fall-out due to Josh's deceit.  At that same party Norah meets super-hot, jaded playboy Clint Weston [student/$$$$/22 years/blond hair/blue eyes].  Clint is from one of the oldest, richest families in the US and a group leader at Lappell's.  Clint is immediately intrigued by Norah.It's clear from the beginning that there is a mystery behind Norah's sudden move/switch of school and I got a feeling that there might be more going on in Josh's life as well.  Both grew up in money, but Josh had lost everything at the tragic death of his parents a few years back.  Clint is, well Clint is a young alpha male in the making - he is super handsome, (though I personally would have preferred him with Josh's looks...), he is rich and jaded, he is full of secrets and as the campus playboy he is known to have never claimed a girlfriend.The guys have so much potential, but it is Norah that will stay with me - for awhile.  She is beautiful, aloof, strong, captivating and intriguing.  She paints on canvas using her naked body."There are moments in your life that can change you forever, and you Norah, you are my forever moment..."The story unfolds as Josh and Clint both pursue Norah.  I typically tend to avoid love triangles because I know there will be one person's heart broken in the end, but I just couldn't resist Norah story of life - love - family - friendships - expectations - promises.  Not all is at it seems.  It's a tale spun of lies, secrets, deceit, mystery, suspense and intrigue.  Get ready for all rollercoaster ride!Let's start with the negatives:1) I did not realize it was a going to be a series.  In retrospect I was so fired up about this book I would have still read it had a known (see more below).  Now I am "hooked" on this series.  But Ms. Richardson we need more info!  2) There is a little bit of editing needed, to me minor and it really did not bother me.  3) And finally I was confused why a woman with secrets would embark on a career in the public eye (as an artist)?  Just a thought.Now back to all the positives:My oh my, "Pieces of lies" pulled me in from the first page.  Actually reading the description I had a feeling it was going to be grand and I was right!  I found myself glued to the pages.  So Intense!  I enjoyed every moment of it and I can't wait for the sequel.  This book has everything and really can't say more without revealing too much.  Part of its charm is the concept of mystery, secrets, lies, deceit, glamour and secret societies.  I don't want to even add another spoiler, because the suspense kept me on my toes and I don't want to ruin it for anyone.  You are just going to have to read for yourself.The "Pieces of lies" series stands a chance of becoming a story of epic proportions!  Angela Richardson is a new author to follow!Uh, and did I mentioned I loved this book?!Would I recommend this book: Yes!!!Would I re-read this book: Yes (and that says a lot because out of 900+ read books in the last few years, I only have less than 50 books on my re-read shelf!)
