Answers from the Romance Experts

As promised, here are the answers (according to the Harlequin Romance Experts) to the Truth About Lies Quiz

1. LIE
Rationale: If you’re not in a relationship, the honesty card doesn’t carry as much value. If you know it’s not going to happen with this person, politely end the situation even if you have to lie a little to make a clean break

2. DON’T LIE
Rationale: A phone call or text message here and there is safe, but lying aobut going out in public–with plenty of witnesses–is bound to turn ugly.

3. LIE
Rationale: There is no good way to get out of this age-old question. But one thing is sure: if you have any doubt–don’t be afraid to fib! A perfectly acceptable (and relationship-saving) substitute is –”Honey, you look great in everything.”

4. LIE
Rationale: While we don’t suggest turning this into an everyday occurence, if you really don’t feel like going out, a little while lie will do. Just be warned, you run the risk of turning into the friend who always cancels if this turns into a habit.

5. DON’T LIE
Rationale: While it’s safe to leave out your one-night stand record, it’s not safe to lie about any past encounters that may impact the health of your significant other.

6. LIE
Rationale: Trashing a friend’s significant other is a sure-fire way to strain a friendship. We prefer to follow our golden rule–keep you opinions polite until your friend starts doing the hating. Even then, chime in with caution.

7. LIE
Rationale: While we advise against turning this into a habit, a personal day here and there never hurt anyone.

8. DON’T LIE
Rationale: If you don’t have what it takes to get the job done, save yourself the embarrassment and do not embellish your professional abilities.

Unfortunately no one got all the answers correct But the good news is that you all have won a copy of The Tycoon’s Son! E-mail me through my website (if you haven’t already) and I’ll put the book in the mail.

Thanks for playing and for all the great comments! And I have to say I agree more with your answers than I do with the Romance Experts.

   I had a problem too - It kept saying invalid entry although I tried 3 or 4 times.

   I only missed No. 5 and like a lot of the questions, it wasn’t black and white. I did agree with all of their explanations

   I should have contacted all of you privately by now.

   Again, sorry for the hassle. I’m having my webmistress look at the problem…and fix it!

   Thanks for participating!!
