The Lies We Tell (The Four, #1) Reviews

Steamy Bully romance with a dangerous twist!Absolutely Fantastic book! It has the rich bullies, the nice girl, the intrigue, suspense and danger and to top it off a steamy romance. I loved every minute and could not put it down. I also can’t wait for . “The Four” are the four richest and sexiest men on campus. Their families pretty much own the nearby town and do business all over the world as well and The Four are the top men on campus at Alstone college.Winter Huntington has switched colleges before her sopho year in order to spend time with the mother who left her at five years old. Her father died a year ago in a house explosion due to a gas leak, but Winter doesn’t believe it was an accident and is determined to get to the bottom of it. Prior to his death, Winter’s father had traveled to the town of Alstone a few times to see her mother and had started acting strangely immediately after.Winter attends a party at the home of The Four after arriving at campus. Two of the Four happen to be her stepbrothers that she has never met. At the party all of the Four guys look at her with suspicion and hate, though she doesn’t know why. Especially the leader and hottest guy, her stepbrother Caiden Cavendish. Winter is attracted to Caiden from the start, but he shows nothing but contempt for her.After having dinner with the her Mother, stepfather and two stepbrothers, Caiden and Weston, Winter sees that there is no love lost between her mother and stepbrothers. She finds that Weston doesn’t seem to have the animosity towards her that Caiden does. She also has a class with another member of The Four named Cassius and finds him to be much friendlier than Caiden and Zayde, who are still suspicious of her.I don’t want to go too much into the plot, but it is interesting and combines the romance between Winter and Caiden with the intrigue surrounding her Mother and her Fathers death as well as Winter becoming friends with the four guys. The romance is hot, the guys are terrific characters and there is a huge cliffhanger at the end. I can’t wait to read the next book. I really want to read about Zayde as well. He is described as extremely hot and one of the scariest guys Winter and her roommate have ever met. Winter says he has serial killer eyes. That is just the kind of guy I am interested in reading about.I voluntarily read reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts opinions are my own.

4.5Was there even a question of if you would see a review from me for The Lies We Tell? I had never read anything from this author before, but when this book was brought to my attention, there was no way I could pass it up! The blurb practically screams my name! A group of hot, rich guys known as The Four that rule the school (college) attempt to make Winter's life hell for reasons unbeknownst to her. They warn her, insult her, key her car, and follow her around wherever she goes, but it's not long before she discovers that not all of The Four have such strong animosity towards her. Some of them even seem to kind of like her. Caiden Cavendish isn't one of them. He hates every breath she takes, and he has his reasons. Winter doesn't understand his hatred any than she understands her insane attraction to him. They have intense chemistry that's undeniable, and you know how the saying goes. There's a thin line between love and hate. Becca Steele did such a great job with The Four! Each member has such a distinct personality that you will have no problem distinguishing one from the other. You won't have any trouble falling in love with any of them either. Caiden may be a bit of an asshole, but he always has his loved ones well being in mind. Underneath his hardened alpha male exterior lies a big soft heart. It makes you just want to kick him in the dick and then hug the fuck out of him! The fact that he's gorgeous and sculpted like a greek god doesn't hurt anything either. Weston is the youngest of the group and Caiden's younger brother. He's a tech genius that the guys couldn't live without. Their whole operation depends on his skill. He's the most welcoming to Winter in the beginning, and they form an adorable brother/sister relationship almost from the start. Cassius is like a big, hot, manwhore, teddy bear. He's the comic relief in the story for sure. Despite his slutty ways, he's by far the most endearing of the four. I loved the way he was with Winter throughout the story, and I can't wait to see the right woman tame his horny little ass. Zayde is the most mysterious of the group. He's the definition of a bad boy with his tattoos, motorcycle, and danger practically radiating off of him. He doesn't say much, but when he does, everyone pays attention. If you're anything like me, he will have you intrigued from the second he's introduced. The loyalty these men have for one another, and the bond they share is everything. They are the number one reason you need to read this book! Hands down! Sure, there is mystery, suspense, violence, and possibly murder, but these guys are THE BEST THING about this book. I can't conclude my review without saying a little something about Winter. I gushed over the guys, so it only seems right. Lol Winter is a character that I sympathized with right away. Losing your father in such a horrific and sudden way is bad enough, but knowing your mother (that basically abandoned you) probably had something to do with it is next level awful. She may have needed to be slapped in the head a couple of times, but overall, she's a tough cookie that is ready to go to the ends of the earth to get justice for her dad, and that makes her pretty fucking awesome in my book. In case you can't tell, The Lies We Tell by Becca Steele was a hit for me! If you're a bully romance or academy fan, there is no way you should pass this one up! The characters are amazing, and the story is intriguing and full of steam and action with a big cliffhanger cherry on top. Put it on your tbr asap!

'THE LIES WE TELL' is the first full length romance book by new to me author Becca Steele's 'The Four" series. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'Bloody Instagram!! This bloody book right here has been boomeranging all over my IG feed!! So of course I had to bloody oneclick it!! I blame it all on that lickable cover too!!I really enjoyed this one, holy hotness!! In this we get not one but FOUR hot boys (Caiden, Zayde, Cassius and Weston) who reign over Alstone College!! The untouchable Kings!! I was in my happy place!! Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo, King Asshole Caiden was MINE!! F#ck it all Zayde's MINE too!! Cassius, Weston, Zayde and Caiden. They're all sexy as f#ck, and they know it. Spoiled rich boys who think they're above everyone else. These boys have had an unbreakable bond since the age of fourteen when they first became known as 'the four.'As soon as they clap eyes on Winter.. Game on.. They attempt to make her life living hell. From barbed warnings, to shadowing her every move, to keying her car and add in the fact that Caiden doesn't disguise that he hates her with a vengeance makes for an unputdownable read..Each of these hot as hell boys held their own in this book, our leader Caiden with his ass hole alpha personality, Weston is our tech savvy guru and can break into any database. Zayde is the edgy dangerous one of the group, all dark and broody. Cassius is the happy go lucky one. Winter Huntington doesn't know what she's up against when it comes to these four boys and doesn't understand why she has a target on her back, she's only just recently transferred to Alstone College (a specialist business school) due to losing her father in a questionable accident which she's investigating. Prior to his death, her father had traveled to the town of Alstone a few times to see her mother and upon his return home his behaviour was out of the norm. Hence why Winter put in a transfer to Alstone. She wants to reconnect with her mother and get some much needed answers to her questions. Her mother left her when she was five years old and has since remarried to an influential wealthy man, he has two sons Caiden and Weston, making them Winter's step brothers. Twists and turns, hot steamy moments, throw in some romance and this book ticked a lot of my boxes, the only box it didn't tick was the bloody cliffy I found myself falling over..

"Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo, The Four are coming for you, Snow.”'The Lies We Tell' is the first book in 'The Four' series by Becca Steele.This is a college, step brother romance with so many so many twists and turns that is all a part of a big game! I mean I even considered skipping writing this review and starting the next book but, here we are!Okay, so, I know I've read the first book in this series before so the cliff hanger shouldn't bother me so much, but it does cuz I don't remember the story, like at all! ME2:Anyways, in this book we meet 'the four' (Caiden, Zayde, Weston, Cassius) and Winter or snowflake, as they call her. The Four: Caiden, the alpha: He is the hot step brother, who is all broody and can't make up his mind about snowflake. Weston, the brains: He is the youngest of them all and is also Caiden's brother. He is the brains of the operations and surprised the hell out of me at times!Cassius, the fun/outgoing guy: He is charming, in a 'Prince Charming' kinda way, but don't let his appearance fool you cuz he can be menacing when he wanted to be.Zayde, the bad boy: Zayde, oh Z, what can I say? With your motorcycle and tattoos, you even had my kindle melting. He gives off major serial killer vibes but I suspect he has a big heart under the hard exterior. ❖❖❖❖❖Then there is Winter, she comes to live with her Mom, and her new husband after her Dad dies. The guys think she's her mother's daughter and is going to cause trouble so they start bullying and threatening but are surprised to find out that Winter suspects her mom to be behind her dad's mother and is here to investigate. Becca Steele is an amazing author and had me on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next bomb to drop! Needless to say, I'm gonna go run and pick up the next book as soon as I'm done with this review, and I honestly can't wait to find out where this story takes us!

I’m not sure if it’s because I have read to many bully romance that it’s not annoying me or they just all seem the same. Also I don’t really feel like he bullied her sprinkling a little drama and hot guys does not make a book. I want a story. I didn’t like winter or caiden Didn’t really know enough if I’m honest he dislikes her on the spot ( same old) “I know enough,” he said darkly. “And I promise you, right here, right now, that I’m going to do everything I can to make your life miserable. I don’t trust you. I don’t want you here. We don’t want you here. Leave.”Yup heard this so many times in books it’s getting old. She thinks he’s hot but going to play hard to get but as soon as he kisses her she’s like a dog on heat then they both regret it You had the usual catty girl comments from their harem of women to winter BORE OFF. Felt like it was just a bunch of words with some added drama into it but not really thought out.

NopeThe heroine gets to the new school, and I believe that same night, goes to a party. She flirts with the first random guy who pays her any attention. Doesn’t know him from anyone, and didn’t even seem attracted to him. She has these weird feeling for the “hero” of the story from meeting his eyes earlier but when she runs into him at the party she and the author decide to make this book nose dive right off of a cliff. Instead of starting the story here, she walks away from the books “hero” and leaves with the random guy to go to his place (let’s forget for a minute how incredible stupid that is since he could be garden variety psycho I guess) and she screws him. No alcohol, drugs, etc. She’s just that much of a hoebag. A few pages in and she’s screwing other guys I’m out. I’m not a hypocrite, I don’t love guys who are hos either, and being that I am a woman it really turns my stomach when a woman has absolutely no standards. It makes it impossible for me to read the story let alone enjoy it, if the author makes us “watch” it. She definitely doesn’t need to be a virgin or even inexperienced, but I can’t stand or respect a heroine who doesn’t show that she respects herself at least a little. The weird part was that this wasn’t written sexy or steamy to make you forget and engage in the taboo part. She even didn’t orgasm and seemed ok with that because it was “fun”! The word that came to my head immediately was pathetic. The author wrote the girl as so desperate for a guys attention that she’d screw anyone who looked at her. This was the first chapter of the first book and with the first guy to blink at her for Pete’s sake! I need to figure out how to use my account. I want to add this author to a Do Not Read section, I think I’m good if I don’t read anything by her again.

I NEED BOOK 2 RIGHT THIS DAMN MINUTE.I need answers and I need them now. Ms. Steele sucks you into the intriguing, dangerous, and just plan hot as hell world of The Four and will have you flipping pages until you get to the end only to leave you saying WTF how can that be the end. She's lucky she lives "across the pond" from me because otherwise I'd be standing behind her making her write all the words until I she crafts the next installment of what I can already tell with be one hot AF saga.This book ticks so many boxes for me and if you like a strong heroine and an alphahole hero who you get to watch fall without him even realizing it and tying in secrets galore this book is for you.Read this and help me yell at Becca!
