Cruel Lies
by Lilian Harris
Well, this book was just filled with some things I wasn't expecting. There is tons of angst which I normally don't like, but this worked. I'm also not a huge fan of slow-burn, but again this worked. Lilian Harris is a master it would seem!
Raph is that guy I love...alpha male, possessive, touch-her-and-die attitude. He really is just perfection. There were so many times I wanted to just wrap him in a huge hug and just tell him he's loveable. There were also plenty of times I wanted to slap him and tell him to stop tormenting himself and just get with Nicolette already!!! lol
Nicolette's confidence grew with the book. She never backed down from letting Raph know she wanted him. I loved that about her. Her family absolutely treated her like crap and for that, I wanted to slap each and every one of them. I'm glad she had Brenda at least growing up.
These two are absolutely perfect for each other. I will say that I picked up on a couple of the surprises. I'm not sure if they were meant to be clues or not, but I picked up on a few things that led me to figure a couple of things out. However, there was one pretty big shocker I wasn't expecting. And I'm really glad Raph handled it the way he did.
The only thing I would change is the epilogue. I wanted more of Raph and Nicolette. This epilogue is more of a segway into the next book, which don't get me wrong I'm excited to read Gio's story, but I wasn't ready to let go of Raph and Nicolette.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
