Cillian and Midge. The Truth? Steamy & Entertaining Friends With Benefits Story
*arc generously provided by the promo team in exchange for an honest review*
What’s this book about? (I’m trying to give as little spoilers as possible)
Cillian and Midge have been friends for a long while. When they get together for a relaxed and fun night, they don’t expect to end up crossing the line. But they do.
This is my first Isabel Lucero read. I don’t quite remember how I stumbled upon this read, but I don’t regret it one bit. Cillian and Midge’s chemistry had me hooked from the early chapters. Their friendship was lovely and when it turned into something more R-Rated, it was steamy hot! Their intimate scenes were everything. It was very easy to read and I found myself reading pages on end without checking the time or what percentage I was at (and I usually do that ALL THE TIME LOL). I lost myself in this page-turner that was entertaining, romantic, heartfelt and funny.
I was not prepared for the deliciousness of this book, Cillian and Midge had the best, friends to lovers story that gave me all the feels.
Cillian and Midge have been friends since childhood, but nothing else. There has been an attraction but they have never said anything and the other always being in a relationship, until now, when they are both single.
Midge has a lake house that her grandparents own and invites her friends, including Cillian to stay for a few days. Midge hasn’t been in a relationship for a few years after being cheated on and is glad that Cillian is staying so that she isn’t the only single person in their group up there. On their first night, some body shots and a game of truth or dare leads to Cillian and Midge crossing the line and becoming so much more than they thought.
I loved the relationship between these two, they were so right for each other, they had a good friendship, they were playful, funny, sweet and caring towards each other and were hot, so hot and that Prince Albert .
The story had little angst and drama which I didn’t mind as I was so wrapped up in their story and the interactions of the side characters.
This is my first book by the author and I’m so glad I found her. I’ll be going back to read about Royce and London and will be stalking her page for news on the next Kingston brother.
ARC received for an honest review – thank you

I loved Cillian. Another great book by Isabel Lucero. These Kingston men are amazing and I can’t wait to get the other two stories. As far as Midge, she is small but mighty. I recommend this one as well as all her others.
Midge and Cillian was freaking HAWT!!!! Talk about chemistry from beginning to end. I don’t even know why they tried to hide or deny. Everything about what they denied was written all over their faces.
This was such a fun look on a game played so many years ago. Truth or Dare adult style. Body shots in the most exotic way and paintings that lead to tears of joy.
Well done Isabel.
Truth or Dare is a fabulous addition to the Kingston Brothers series. Those Kingston boys… oy, are they something special! I loved Royce and London’s story, On The Rocks. So when I saw book 2 was coming, I was Yes, Please! I had to get my hands on Cillian’s story.
Just so happens, it’s Cillian and Midges story, and I loved her in book 1 as well.
Isabel has created an entertaining and enjoyable cast of characters. Truth or Dare was a wonderfully well written story chock full of witty banter, fun, and sexy. I loved how Cill and Midge got together, and I loved how Cill ensured they stayed together. A great read!
4.5 Stars
Holy Hotness! This book was phenomenal and definitely in the one click ASAP category! I loved these characters and I absolutely loved this story line. I am a sucker for a good friends to lovers book and this one did not disappoint. There was super hot chemistry, a little bit of drama and a great group of friends that I can’t wait to read more about. This is book 2 in the series but was able to be read as a standalone, however, I think I would have loved it even more if I had read book 1 so that is definitely being added to my TBR!
Don’t wait, get this book now!
By Alisa
A pleasant friends to lovers story told in dual POVs. I really enjoyed reading Midge and Cill’s thoughts and growth in accepting their true feelings. I really, really liked these characters very much.
It was my first time to read an Isabel Lucero story and I’m so glad I got the opportunity! I’m looking forward to reading more about the Kingston Brothers as well as other works by her!
I dare you not to fall for Cillian! I couldn’t help but fall for him. He is so hot and sexy, not to mention sweet. He knows Midge is perfect for him, but he needs to convince her.
It starts with a few drinks and a game of truth or dare. You can guess where that led. Though Midge had a crush on Cillian in high school, she now has trust issues because of an ex. Cillian is very persuasive and persistent, and did I mention hot. Can Midge realize how perfect they are for each other, or will her insecurities push Cillian away? I love friends to lovers stories and can’t wait to read more of these hot Kingston brothers!
5 star Review Truth or Dare (Kingston Brothers #2) by Isabel Lucero
Isabel Lucero drew me into this friends to lovers story from the first page; I kept thinking just one more chapter. I loved the characters of Midge and Cillian as well as the secondary ones.
The story was well written, engaging and it was great to see the growth of both the main characters as the book evolved.
What happens when thanks to a few drinks and a hot and spicy game of Truth or Dare, lines are crossed? Can friends become “friends with benefits” without losing their friendship?
Midge doesn’t believe in relationships whilst Cillian does, a refreshing change. She is convinced that what lies between them will end and doesn’t want anyone to know about their new “friends with benefits” relationship.
What Midge doesn’t realize is that Cillian wants more, it’s not just a fling to him.
I loved Cillian, he is hot, sweet and determined to get the woman he loves, if only he can convince Midge to take a leap of faith, to take a chance on love.
This is a fun, heart warming story that left me with a smile on my face. The characters were easy to relate to and you cannot help but become invested in Cillian and Midge’s story.
This book was a little gem and I am off to look at other books by Isabel Lucero.
Talk about amazing chemistry. Midge and Cill had it in spades. They’ve been around each other since they were kids and wouldn’t act on their attraction. To me it seems natural how they progressed for friends to lovers. I love the banter that kept me laughing throughout the entire book. I was hoping and praying that Midge finally lets her past where it belongs. And when she finally did that I was left with the biggest smile on my face.
This is my first book by Isabel and I have a feeling I’ve been missing out. After finishing this I can’t wait to see with whom Elijah will be paired up with.

I really enjoyed this book. You know when you get that feeling of giddiness at finding a new to you author and fall in love with the way they write their books? That’s how I feel right now.
Truth or Dare is the second book in the Kingston Brothers series but can stand alone. I didn’t have the chance to read the first book before diving into this one but I had no trouble following the story. I will however be going back in the series because of how much I loved this one. I can’t wait to see how it all started.
That being said, this is an awesome friend-to-lovers, friends-with-benefits, secretive romance. I love how Midge and Cillian both hid their feelings for one another and then slowly revealed them. I loved their banter, the chemistry, and just how they acted with one another. There’s something so refreshing when a connection between fictional characters feels REAL to readers and this is exactly what you’ll get in this book. I can’t wait for more!
Midge and Cillian had an undeniable chemistry and I loved the playful banter between them.
I liked that this book didn’t have any over the top dramatics, of course not everything was smooth sailing but it wasn’t anything outrageous or angsty.
Cill was swoon worthy and Midge was sassy. I adore this family, I’m looking forward to reading Elijah’s book
What can I say?!?!?! Cillian is hot and a god! The heat between him and Midge, you need a fire extinguisher on hand. Seriously loved this book. Has all the feels to accompany the heat and passion. Definitely a must read!
When a game of truth or dare leads to so much more! My favourite trope to read is friends to lovers! Love this book. Cillian is the perfect man for Midge. Their chemistry is hot, they just didn’t know it until they got together. Perfect blend of friends to lovers and a deep family connection between the brothers. This is an easy read, it was sweet, but steamy sex scenes. I love this book hard. After reading it my heart is indeed happy!
First time reading a book by this author but definitely not the last! This book was so good that I want to read the other books in this series. I feel like I’m so attached to this family now that I want to know more. Cillian and Midge’s story, friends to oh so hit lovers, was so sweet and filled with the right amount of jealous/possessiveness. There is no way someone can read this book and not be rooting for them to have their HEA. So much love for this story, this couple, this book!
“ ?” “.”“ *^€ .” “, .”
All the damn feels!
Okay if I said it once, I will say it again, I am a sucker for a friends to lovers romance. They just simply hit home & Isabel hit it out of the park with this one.
I love the dynamic of Cillian and Midge. They play off of each other perfectly. The growth of their relationship grew so naturally and showed the complications of a new relationship without adding unnecessary drama for the sake of drama.
I also can not forgot to mention the level of sexiness this story entails!!! That was a hot one .
Light hearted friends to lovers.
Cillian and Midge had great chemistry and fit well together.
Things get complicated when a fling brings out unexpected feelings… what will happen in the end
Hot read
Truth Or Dare is my first book by Isabel Lucero and it is one fabulous story. Cillian is everything you are looking for in a book boyfriend. He’s hot, and oh so darned sexy, he’s got the charm and the banter down pat. He knows what he wants and that’s his best friend, all he has to do is find a way to make her see the light.
Midge once had a crush on Cillian, but she’s grown up and had her heart trampled since high school and now she’s wary of giving it away.
Cillian has his work cut out for him persuading this sexy, dazzling woman to be him. But if it’s worth it, then it’s worth the work.
I loved this story, with lots of feels and scorching chemistry between the two main characters, you can’t help but want to see them together.
This is I guess the second in the Kingston Brothers series, and probably would have been better if I had read book one, as that couple was all over this book, but I wasn’t aware until it was too late. After breaking up with his girlfriend, Cillian finally gets a good look at what’s in front of him… not that he hadn’t noticed Midge before, its just that this is the first opportunity for them to explore something more. But for Midge that something more is just a friends with benefits thing, nothing more. She doesn’t want to lose what she and Cillian have, but with them crossing the line already, is it too late?
This was actually a very enjoyable read; loaded with drama, some funny moments and loads of hot stuff! I give this 4 stars.
