Excerpt
Before I knew what I was doing, I’d thrown the mushrooms into the pan and was stepping right up to him, so close that I could feel the heat from his body as he glared down at me. “You might want to wash your hands. They’re looking a little pink, King Caiden.”
He stepped even closer, his body pressing into mine, and I suddenly found it difficult to breathe. “King Caiden, huh? If I’m the king, then get on your knees and worship me.”
A shudder ran through me at his low, harsh rasp. I met his dark gaze, seeing the barely restrained fury clear in his eyes, and I steeled myself, welcoming the anger that surged within me, smothering the lust. “Fuck you,” I spat through clenched teeth. “If you’re insinuating that I can suck your dick, I’d rather choke to death on my own vomit than have that anywhere near my mouth.”
My Thoughts <3
This book jumps right into the action and leaves you wanting MORE and MORE, and even more when it ends in a huge cliffhanger! I have not read Becca Steele before, but you best believe that she is going to become a well known name- The Lies We Tell was powerful and not like other bully romances that you have read before!
There is murder, chemistry, connections, and all kinds of mischief in this book. I love how Winter is so real and a genuinely good person, but she does not just lie down and take The Four’s treatment of her. She is feisty and fights back, I definitely approve!
All in all, my head is still spinning after finishing the book and I FREAKING LOVE IT! If you are looking for a Dark Bully Romance with some fresh approaches, read this right now. The author was not kidding about it not being a standalone though! 5 stars FOR SURE from me!
PS: A huge thank you to Becca Steele and Enticing Journey Book Promotions for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
