One Tiny Lie is the second book in the Ten Tiny Breaths Series by K.A. Tucker, where we originally met a younger version of the main character, Livie Cleary.  Livie is now 18 years old and starting freshman year at Princeton.  Her goal is to become a pediatric oncologist, something she has worked toward relentlessly since she was a young girl, even more so since the death of her parents when she was 11 years old.  It's her first week there and her sister Kacey and her new roommate Reagan, along with the blessings of the infamous Dr. Strayner, have taken Livie out for a wild night so that she can experience what being a freshman college student is really about.  That may sound strange to some, but since her parents died, Livie has pretty much been and acted like a small adult, never really letting go and having fun.  She gets pretty wasted and has the time of her life, embarrassing herself, but also meeting the hottest and most infuriating guy she ever laid eyes on, Ashton Henley, who affectionately dubbed her with the name Irish.  Thus begins a whirlwind of a ride for Livie.  She finds herself insanely attracted to Ashton, yet he's not available, and he's also a man-whore.  Shen then begins dating his best friend and roommate Conner, which makes things even odder.  As the story progresses, with the additional help of the behind the scenes influence of Dr. Strayner, Livie questions everything in her life - her goals, her dreams for the future, and must decide whether or not to take a chance on love and on someone that may be more broken than she can imagine.I loved Livie's character.  She was funny and I loved her inner rants as much as her actual dialogue.  Ashton was such a hottie and I totally fell for him.  He has so many issues, but Livie sees through his facade, just as he sees through hers.  As far as the other characters.  It was great to see Kacey again, and I enjoyed getting to know Raegan and some of the other guys in the story.  Dr. Strayner is a hoot also.  The chemistry between Ashton and Livie is sizzling hot and the romance aspect of the story was wonderful.I love K.A. Tucker's writing and her ability to enable you to really connect with the characters she creates and truly experience the story with them.  I didn't want to put the  book down and truly enjoyed it from beginning to end.  One Tiny Lie is a wonderful companion novel in the Ten Tiny Breaths Series and I thoroughly enjoyed it and most definitely would recommend it to all contemporary romance fans.
