I have been highly anticipating this book since Claire started writing it on Vella. And it did not disappoint. I am absolutely blown away with this book. I didn’t think anyone could beat Lachlan Duke, I mean Until I Get You is one of my top reads ever…but Claire really said “hold my beer”

I will keep this short, as I think everyone should go into this one a little blind. When We Lied is a mix of romance with darker themes and a whole lot of mystery and of course is full of angst and spice.
I was so captivated by this one right from the start. I don’t think I got up much like at all.I was literally at the edge of my seat the last 30% as everything kept unravelling. At one point I screamed and woke up Rob. He was not that impressed me with LOL.

Finn is the epitome of boy obsessed. LACHLAN WHO?!?!? When Finn finally got his head out of his ass he was seriously the sweetest and had me giggling and kicking my feet during his POV.
Their chemistry was so HOTTTT…the slow-burn, push and pull relationship of Josslyn and Finn’s was full yearning and a soul-deep connection that couldn’t not be denied…plus I always love an obsessed and possessive MMC.
Not gonna lie…seeing Lachlan and Lyla…had me smiling so big. I love them so much and glad they were in this story.

Thank you Claire for sending me an eARC. I cannot wait to see what you come out with next.

Please check TW before going into this one.
