Interview: Molly McAdams + Deceiving Lies

Today I'm thrilled to welcome New Adult author Molly McAdams back to the blog to answer a few questions about her latest release, Deceiving Lies. Deceiving Lies is the second book in her Forgiving Lies series and is available now from William Morrow paperbacks. Thanks so much for stopping by Molly!

If Rachel were to write her own wedding vows to Kash, what are a couple things she would make sure to include?

Hahah, oh lord. I had a hard enough time writing my own vows ;) But I’m sure there would be something along the lines of: Loving him, fighting with him, making pancakes for him while pretending to hate them, and always stealing his green Sour Patch Kids.

Let’s say you’re moving into a new place and discover you have an insanely attractive neighbor like Kash. Are you the confident, strike-up-a-conversation type, or (like me) the more shy, observe-from-afar type?

I’m definitely no Candice, but I’m not shy either. I’m directly in the middle. I’m completely like Rachel. I would see him in passing—and by passing, I mean I would make an ass out of myself by tripping in front of him, accidentally hitting him in the face (has happened) … something along those lines.

If Kash could have a do-over for any part of his relationship (large or small) with Rachel, what moment might he wish he had a second chance at?

There are so many things I could put here. Not let Rachel walk away with Blake in Forgiving Lies, but Blake had escaped so many times before, if he hadn’t been so consumed in Rachel, he would have probably escaped again. Then there’s not leaving the night/morning she was kidnapped in Deceiving Lies, but then they would have just killed him and Mason. He could have staying after everything went down with Blake in Forgiving Lies, but it would have put a major strain in their relationship rather than giving them time to realize they needed each other. So … nothing. There’s nothing to do-over.

You write some very strong, sexy couples. Who is your all-time favorite couple from a book, movie, or TV show?

Ahh, Romeo and Juliet. I’m a Shakespeare fan, those were the only books I read in high school. I actually took Shakespeare classes. They were so young, naïve, so passionately in love, and they obviously would do anything to be together. They will always be my favorite.

Kash is a cop often assigned undercover missions. If he were to teach a class on what it takes to go undercover, what’s one of the first tips/lessons he’d emphasize to those who have never experienced it?

You have to be willing to completely lose yourself, to forget who you thought you were, and everything you know. You have to be willing to do things you grew up knowing you would never go near.

Since this series deals with secrets and lies, let’s put people to the test and see how good they are at sniffing out truth from lie. Please give us three facts about yourself, one that’s true and two that are completely false.

1. I loathe the sound of cicadas.
2. I have been pooped on by a cow.
3. One of my all-time favorite movies is: Idiocracy.

Thoughts on which is the truth? Leave your guess in the comments!

DECEIVING LIES

Rachel is supposed to be planning her wedding to Kash, the love of her life. After the crazy year they've had, she's ready to settle down and live a completely normal life. Well, as normal as it can be. But there's something else waiting—something threatening to tear them apart.

Kash is ready for it all with Rach. Especially if all includes having a football team of babies with his future wife. With his line of work, he knows how short life can be, and doesn't want to waste another minute of theirs. But now his past as an undercover narcotics agent has come back to haunt him ... and it's the girl he loves who's caught in the middle.

Trent Cruz's orders are clear: take the girl. But there's something about this girl that has him changing the rules and playing a dangerous game to keep her safe. When his time as Rachel's protector runs out, he will turn his back on the only life he's known, and risk everything, if it means getting her out alive.

MOLLY MCADAMS

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughter. Some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling and long walks on the beach…which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, she can be found hiding out in her bedroom surrounded by her laptop, cell, Kindle and fighting over the TV remote. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies, fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm...or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.
