A review by kavuyi
Lies that Break Us by Rae Douglas

adventurous dark emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

Tropes:

Enemies to lovers

Stalker romance

Obsession

Blackmail

Marriage of convenience

Mr & Mrs smith vibes

One night stand 

Slow burn 

Kill her or kiss her 

Operation find a husband.

That’s what Clara is on about, finding a husband. Lucky her, unlucky her, she meets and blackmails Deniz. Lucky her because she gets a husband, but unlucky her because Deniz ensured this would happen since he’s her stalker.

She’s the heir matriarch of The Syndicate and he wants to know why his brother was killed on a hit meant for Clara’s mother. The action. The secrets. The moments between them. 

This is a strong FMC, I loved her no nonsense approach. The enemy to lovers part was giving. The dynamics. I loved it.
