I’m really enjoying this interconnected series of standalone books and this one is Reese and Alec’s turn. Their meeting is unconventional he’s an undercover cop sent in to spy on Reese and her fiancee. Although the investigation is a large part of the story this was a beautiful slow burn love story. I loved the relationship between not just the main characters but also Alec and Reese’s mum it was so pure and sweet and funny I giggled at story time. One thing that made me happy was catching up with the characters from previous books.
This is a great read! I loved the story and how strong Reece was!
Love Reese and Alecs amazing beautiful story.Had all the feels.emotional addicting beautifu;.love this series,ready for Wyatt
The Lies We Tell Ourselves
by Michelle Heard is book 4 in the Southern Heroes series. Alec and Reece’s story is angsty, full of feels, drama, passion, action and yes,so beautiful and chock full of love. If you like strong, sexy handsome heroes, then you don’t want to miss this series! I was so sad when the story ended, when the series ended. This was such an emotionally beautiful, gripping and powerful read that will have you stuck to your seat until you finish reading.
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****
Riveting 5 stars..
This interconnected series of standalone stories just gets better and better; this is the story of Reece and Alec whose paths collide during an undercover investigation, and the rest, as they say, is history…except it isn’t…and in fact that’s one of the things I love about this book.. the protagonists meet, and are forced by circumstances to interact, but they don’t immediately fall in love, theirs is a slow-burning romance..
The characters are so well developed and genuine… when they hurt or are afraid it really means something.. told from Alec and Reece’s perspective (as well as one or two others along the way) it was fascinating to see their reaction to the events playing out as well as their innermost thoughts regarding their relationship; and of course there is plenty of heat when they eventually succumb to their desires…
In addition to the MCs the secondary characters are also worthy of mention..some have starred in their own book in the series already, and some are yet to have their moment in the limelight, but all are intriguing and whether they are the good guys or the bad guys, they all add extra layers to the story..
There are some very touching moments for example the scenes where Reece and Alec interact with Reece’s mother; there are some very funny moments particularly when Wyatt, Alec’s work colleague, is involved; there are suspenseful moments and some unexpected twists and turns…and since this is a love story there is passion
Well written with great world building and a carefully crafted plot; this was a riveting 5 star read that kept me on the edge of my seat, rooting for the heroes and willing sticky ends for the baddies……..I received an advanced copy of this book from the author.
