Cruel Lies
by Lilian Harris
The twists just keep on coming!
The incredible follow up to Sinful Vows, Cruel Lies by Lilian Harris is a forbidden love romance with more twists then a barrel full of pretzels.
The first half of the book has a lot of flashbacks, showing how love built between Raph and Nicolette, but why neither of them could follow their hearts. So many outside influences and societal expectations. The friendship is a true meeting of souls and is so sweet and genuine.
Harris very cleverly draws parallels between the characters childhoods and their need for affection. The flashbacks are also used to give contexts to current events of foreshadow future twists - masterful writing.
There are times when you want to bang the characters heads together! Overthinking is an underlying theme, though it makes sense with the characters progression.
A good amount spice in this story, tempered by a deeply loving and accepting romance. Can’t wait to read book 3.
