The Lies We Tell by S. Cole, Scarlett Cole

challenging dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

Anyone who follows me on social media will know how desperate I've been to get my hands on THE LIES WE TELL and to find out what happens to Saint after that shocking ending to The Games We Play.

And I can honestly say it's a thousand times better than anything I could've imagined. 

But OMG Scarlett, the ending!! Why??? I can't believe you've left me hanging again! 😂

But seriously it was sooooo worth it! 

As The Lies We Tell starts around four weeks before the ending of The Games We Play. When Saint and Spark are thankfully in the right place at the right time to rescue Briar. Who has been abducted and sold to a man who thinks it's perfectly fine to buy, beat, and degrade a woman. Then marry her.

But happily Saint comes to her rescue. Only he can't tell her who he really is. Yet, he's ready to do anything to protect her. Even though he believes she would be better off far away from him.

Yet, time spent together in secret has the pair forging a relationship that's mainly built on lies. The biggest being who Saint really is, something he struggles with massively. 

And I loved how Scarlett explored that struggle. Especially with his background and the close friendships, he forged, particularly with Spark.

Who becomes the reason he blows everything up and risks Briar and his own life for a club he was supposed to be taking down.

But that doesn't mean anything to those he has betrayed. And as the truth is revealed the Iron Outlaws will do everything possible to find and punish him and I mean everything.

And with a fantastic slow burn romance on top of a story full of guilt, friendship and revenge. I was absolutely hooked! At the expense of everything and everyone else. And I would one hundred percent recommend The Lies We Tell and the series itself to all. 

Now when can I get my hands on The Bonds We Break??😉
