We all lie. We tell ourselves lies all the time. We think lies don’t matter. This story takes us across the pond were answers, lies and secrets await us. Winter tells herself lies all the time like it’s not a big deal. Caiden on the other hand is hot, cocky, angry, and a member of The Four. The members of the Four are Caiden, Zayde, Cassius and Caiden’s brother Weston and they all sexy as hell. The Four rule over everything and everyone. Caiden can’t stand to see Winter but that is a detail that I will not share because it might spoil this book for you. Winter and Caiden can’t seem to stay away from each other and more lies are told between the two of them. The funny thing about lies is that they never go away. This book will have you wanting more and I won’t lie but this does end with a cliffhanger so you will have to wait and see what happens………….
New author to me went in blind just saw the cover and had to have it and so glad i read it. I couldnt put it down didnt want it to end cannot wait to see what happens next and what secrets we discover and how much more hotter it can get it Caiden and Winter
OMG! I loved every second of this book. It’s a steamy, slightly taboo dark romance with a wicked twist. Not everything is as it seems and when Winter/Snowflake and The Four (Caiden, Weston, Zayde and Cassius) band together to uncover solve a few mysteries the secrets they uncover are bigger than what they were prepared for. The ending of this book is a huge surprise and total unexpected. I can not wait to continue reading this series with Book 2!
The great character and storyline development kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book! I look forward to reading more from this author!
“If the Four are the kings of Alstone College, he’s King Asshole.”
I took a chance on this one. I feel like I am in pretty deep where the online book community is concerned. I had not come across this author or this book anywhere though. I found it randomly on Amazon, read the blurb, ordered the paperback, immediately texted my book twin to say it sounded like her thing and she needed to read it too (she did, and loved it also.) I’ll be the first to admit, I am not very adventurous on trying new authors if I haven’t heard a lot about them. I’m very pleased with my choice to dive in here and take a chance. I also have a feeling that Becca Steele will be a named mentioned a lot more now when people read this book. I know I am dying for the next in this series.
So admittedly, suspenseful romance, historically isn’t something I feel drawn to pick up very often. I’m wonder why tf that is now because my experiences with the sub genre has been nothing but short of amazing.
The Lies We Tell is set in a sort of elite college, Alstone. Winter has just transferred in for her second year because her father had passed away. Something didn’t smell right where his death in concerned. So Winter takes it upon herself to go see what’s what. Enter The Four. You know their type. Ridiculously gorgeous, aloof, mysterious. That whole, all the girls want them and the guys want to be them. And guess what, they despise Winter. The ring leader making it his mission to make Winter run away from Alstone with her tail tucked between her legs. She doesn’t know where the hostility is coming from but she just continues to roll with it. I loved Winter. I thought she was an exceptionally strong female lead. I also loved all the guys in The Four. They all have distinctive and unique personalities. They’re all loyal to each other, as they have grown up together, and then Winter comes strolling into town and really shakes things up. I for sure signed up for the romantic aspect.. but the suspense kept me there. I wanted answers. Still do. I cannot wait for the next book of this series to be here! I think I am going to love getting to know more and more about all of the boys. My only critique would be steamier scenes and much soner. Most felt a little too fade to black for me and I’m not here for that. But the angst made up for it a lot. So did the overall storyline with its mystery. So I will be be picking up book as soon as it given to us.
So yes, I would definitely say pick this book up. I’m gonna be over here, wasting time… waiting for the next book!Becca Steele
Mind blown, irreversibly changed, and craving more Caiden and Winter immediately! Holy wow, this book pulls you under from page one and lets you drown on the cliffhanger at the end. The Four are dark, broody, and everything sinfully delightful in the bully romance world. Winter is incredible! This book is why Becca Steele is a one click author! Cannot WAIT FOR BOOK 2… so I can feed my newest book addiction ! Well done, girl!
Really great book I read on a random rec. I’m hopeful the second book won’t take too long and will give me more answers because there is ALOT of suspense and mystery to unfold! We are far from done as we unravel all the lies and half truths, and I’m really pulling for Snowflake and Cade, plus I NEED more Cass, West, and Z. I see some sparks between a few of them too and I want to see if my suspicions are correct. Can’t wait for more!
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo.
The Four are coming for you, Snow.
And commeth they did.
I love Miss Becca’s work, but this is a work of art. This story the characters, freaking wow.
Winter is sassy with a mouth on her and a thirst for answers it doesn’t matter the cost.
Well, that cost has a name…Caiden. Her new step-brother- her new enemie.
He hates her with a passion. But passion is passion and sparks are flying but he’s too stubborn to admit it even when his closest (sexy AF) friends can see the truth.
West, Cade’s little brother brings a lot of cute moments to the story his relationship with Winter is adorable and heartwarming. Out of the four his the “nice” one but between us, I think Miss Steele will fuck us over and turn him bad. one can dream.
Then there’s Cass and Zayde and oh boy these boys are bad. Hot mean AF but loyal. I can’t wait to see how Winter’s relationship grows not only with Caiden but with them too.
Soo many secrets and barely any answers Becca told an amazing tale that will make you hunt her down for more.
I am in love with The Four and I need book two NOW.
Bravo Becca, Bravo
Well Becca, you certainly broke out of your romantic author mould with me in reading TLWT. toatally different to London Suits (both of which I loved by the way) and I was a little hesitant going in to this due to the fact I am not really a big fan of Bully Romance and the more younger Adult, still in University .
But boy did I change my mind, nothing like what I thought, i was intrigued straight away. What a fab story and way for these 4 Young smouldering entitled young men to come into the life of Winter. Having moved to a university to continue her studies and secretly find out the reasons behind her fathers death, Winter is thrown into the path of Caiden Cavendish and his 3 other friends, which should be deemed illegal to have a group such as these 4 to be allowed.
I loved the feelings that Caiden had to fight and I loved the fact he gave zero fucks about the “Step Sister” issue. No relation didnt grow up together so “No issue for me”.
Once again Becca was generous in forwarding me an ARC of TLWT, and I am so looking forward to the rest of the book world reading this story. Only 1 fault I could mention, is now I have to wait for TLWT 2. WTF I need it now. Honest review given and I highly recommend this read. Thank you Becca for encouraging me to get out of my comfort zone. xx
I’m addicted to The Four! What? Surely your not surprised! I have a weakness for HOT Fictional characters. We can all thank Becca Steele for supplying us with a few in this book!
We all love sexy guys in our books but my absolute favorite is to have a strong heroine. I want a h that can give as good as she gets, of course I expect there might be some moments of weakness. Winter is a great example of that. She’s strong willed, sassy and caring. Determined to find out what happened to her dad, she starts at a new college in a town close to her mom. Feeling alone, with only one friend by her side; she lands herself on The Four’s radar right from the start. The Four are the powerful ones on campus; the ones who pretty much rule it all. One of the guys from The Four, Caiden; is determined to get rid of her no matter what it takes. Cassius, Zayde and Weston make up the rest of the group; which I must say they each seem to fulfill a role in the group that makes them a pretty powerful group together. All 4 guys are insanely hot and this is something that does not escape Winter’s notice.
Caiden & Winter are addictive. The push and pull is steamy and the connection between these two is powerful, both unable to resist the other yet the hatred is evident.
I loved how this book was active right from the start, not any dull moments. Reluctantly, I had to stop to adult around chapter 3 but when I picked it back up last night I could NOT PUT IT DOWN! I read in bed until around 2 am. No way could I go to sleep until I knew more. I needed all the answers but now most of all… I NEED THE NEXT BOOK!
Yes. Yes. YES.
When I was first informed about this book, I was like, “SIGN ME UP, WTF.”
Drama. Check.
Secrets. Check.
Sassy af heroine. Check.
Hot, broody, possessive men. Check.
This book has it alllll!!
This is my first read by Becca and I am so dang impressed. Everything about this story is EXACTLY my kind of book. I loved the drama. The mystery. The back and forth between Caiden and Winter. The friendships Winter made with the other guys. THE OTHER GUYS.
Caiden and Winter are straight FIRE together. Their chemistry is off the charts. Their banter is a must. I don’t like a woman who just lays down and takes what the man dishes out. I like her to be fiesta. To fight back. That is exactly what she did. She knew her worth.
The ONLY thing that I would change.. I thought the sex could be hotter. Not even hotter. Just more… thorough? If that makes sense. But that is obviously my opinion and I won’t let that change my view on the book at all. The plot is fantastic. The secrets are driving me crazy.. in a good way. The characters are clicking. All in all, a great story and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
I need more!!!
The Lies We Tell by Becca Steele is an addictive read that had me sucked in from the very beginning.
Winter’s life is turned upside down when her dad dies. Starting a new school is tough enough. Add in The Four who don’t trust Winter from the start and life can be hell.
The Four will make your panties melt. Each one has their own personality – dangerous, fun, smart and a hothead – but they are ALL hot!
This story is full of twists and turns, angst galore, mysteries, secrets and suspense.
I flew through this book! (I read it in one day.)
Becca Steele’s writing was flawless and her words lured me in and kept me hooked right up to the jaw-dropping conclusion. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!
From the first pages I was really in this world. „The Lies We Tell” is a first instalment of „the series named „Four” written by Becca Steele.
This book is a perfect hate-to-love with stepbrother and with a little criminal in the plot.
„The Lies We Tell” is a great book! And the first time I had the problem, because I really don’t know which of this heroes I loved the most. Caiden, Weston, Cassiuss and Zayde. All of them have something that I like. But… when I ended this book I choose Zayde. Why? He has a bike.
He is my men now.
Winter Hunington is a new student in Alstone College. She goes to this school, because she must left her home, after her dad death. In this school she met the Four. The richest, sexiest men on the campus. Two of them turn out her stepbrothers, because of her mother wedding with Arlo Cavendish.
Winter wants to be independet and she has a mission in the new school and new city. She wants to resolve her father death, beacuse she thinks that that the third persons were involved in this accident.
The Four will help her, but everything has a price.
Totally brilliant! As I wrote in the beginning I was into this story for the first pages. I read it in one night and this was a totally nightbreak. Becca Steele done a great job with the creations of heroes and I really like them all.
Winter is a brave girl. She know when she can do want she wants and she will do everything to find her father murderer. Boys are different. Each member of Four has his own personality and all of them are really good wrote. Of course I wanna read more about Zayde, because he is the hottest boy for me.
„The Lies We Tell” by Becca Steele is a delicious book. I really need a second book in this series and can’t wait to meet the boys and Winter again. Becasue THIS ENDING. What a cliffhanger!
Where is the book number two!? Becca please don’t make us wait long!
Highly recommend if you like hate-to-love relations with a mystery and secrets.
This is my first Becca Steele book and as soon as I read the blurb I was immediately intrigued and OMG this book was so good! I loved Winter she is strong sassy and confident and Caiden is such a alpha-hole possessive , sexy af and can be a jerk he has trust issues galore ! This was a steamy addictive angsty read a definite page turner and I can’t wait for the next book because the cliffhanger is a doozy ! Why ? Ughh ! I wanted to throw my kindle on the way it ended it was like I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what was going on and then bam! Be prepared is all’s I’m going to say BE PREPARED! Definitely a 5 star read and I definitely recommend this book to all bully romance lovers!
*** I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book ***
Wow my first book from this author I came across it on Instagram from another author and I though why not just read it there’s nothing else to read and it sounded good and so I got the book without reading any of the reviews and I am glad that I did!!! This book was just so amazing and I can’t wait to read the next books, that cliffhanger man!!
The authors writing Becca Steele was epic, she kept me guessing what would happen next and the action the romance was just enough, the book was such a page turner and captured my attention from the very beginning not chapter one but the prologue.. Congratulations Becca for writing such an amazing book start to a new series, looking forward to reading your next book and stalking you on your websites’
Wow, what a trip! The Lies We Tell by Becca Steele is mind boggling. This is the first book in The Four series, and it was GREAT! I have read other books by Steele, but I have to say this is my favorite so far. A great story line with romance and mystery I just couldn’t put it down. Mrs. Steele get to writing, because I need book 2, like NOW. I loved the gutsy heroine and the Four, yes Four men that grace the pages of this book. Caiden the ringleader, his little brother Weston the tech geek, Cassius the joker and Zayde the no nonsense bad boy will leave you panting and wanting more. 5 stars for The Lies We Tell by Becca Steele.
Winter Huntington needs answers and the only way to get them is to try and get close to her estranged mother. With her father now gone Winter needs to find out what happened to him and if her mother had anything to do with his “accident”. When Winter transfers colleges she knows that she will eventually have to meet her new stepbrothers, but they were not what she expected. Caiden and Weston are gorgeous and complete opposites of each other, throw in their two best friends Cassius and Zayde, Winter doesn’t know how she will survive. Things between the five start off rough and go up and down from there and the lies that are told seem to be twisting tighter around all of them. One way or another Winter will get to the truth, she just hopes to be alive to tell the tale.
The Lies We Tell by Becca Steele

Do you love Bully Romance? Privileged College students? How about the mysteries of the Elite? Then grab this book now! Wow! The angst in this story between Caiden and Winter! I couldn’t put this book down! My mind was spinning trying to figure out the plot! Becca Steele did an awesome job with this new series!
**please keep in mind this book does have a cliffhanger**
Off to an amazing start!
Devoured in one sitting. Holy cow, y’all! My heart is pounding and the adrenaline rushing through me would probably be better served with someone that was gonna use it for good, but that’s not the point here.
The Four are HOT. And skeptical of our Winter, but definitely not without good reason.
Winter is on a mission. She’s lost the only parent she had any ties to, and her quest to solve the mystery surrounding his death has led her to her very estranged mother and her new family, including Weston and Caiden.
Cassius is easily the quickest to warm up to, although Weston runs a close second. Something about that Zayde though, he may be my favorite, and it’s because I always like the most offset of them all.
The writing style, the burn, the suspense kept me on edge the whole time.
My first by this author but certainly not my last.
Holy Hell! What the fuck? Becca Steele left me speechless. Well that’s a lie she left me needing to yell at her for answers and shout from the roof tops how amazing this book is!
The Lies We Tell is absolutely phenomenal! Becca Steele delivers an amazing book that is sure to be a top read and absolutely sets a high standard for any other reads this year.
Caiden is a sexy as sin, hot as hell alpha who leaves me needing more of him. But all of the four are hot, sexy, and wicked. Winter is a badass h who I couldn’t help but love. She doesn’t let the four intimidate her.
Everything about The Lies We Tell left me needing more and was perfect! Becca Steele stepped out of her comfort zone and delivered a phenomenal book.
From start to finished and even after I was hooked.
I love everything about this book! I needier of Caiden and Winter and the four!
And if the entire book wasn’t enough to have you needing more, that ending! Steele ends the book with a bang, and a cliffhanger that had me yelling at her.
This book is intense and I loved it!
Winter, our h, lost her father to an accident that she never fully believed. And the way to get answers is to get close to her mother who she hasn’t had contact in a very long time.
However, her mother has remarried a very powerful and wealthy man. This man has two sons that are part of “The Four”.
Caiden, our H, and Winter’s stepbrother instantly hates Winter because he doesn’t get along with her mother. But all that hate is used to mask all the lust and attraction between the two.
Caiden instantly marks Winter as off limits to everyone else at their college and The Four are constantly watching her moves.
As the story processes, your mind will be blown with all the twist, turns and lies. Book one ends with a massive cliffy and I can’t wait to find out how the rest of the story will unfold.
This is the first book I read by Author Becca Steele but it won’t be my last. I loved the writing, the world building and most importantly the characters.
Holding on to the edge of my seat waiting for book 2.
