Six years. That’s how long I was able to stay away. To ignore the call back home. I could’ve stayed away longer. Could’ve stayed away forever, but I came back for someone who’s now gone. Leaving me alone. I thought it’d be safe. That I’d be okay back in a city that’s always felt more like my prison, but then he took notice. Noah Kincaid. My tormentor, my first crush. My devil. And he’s not only … tormentor, my first crush. My devil.
And he’s not only after me. Something was taken from him. Something he requires my help with to get back.
Six years ago, I left this city unscathed by the man who ruled my teenage angst.
Now? I don’t think I’ll be as lucky.

How can someone be “ok” after reading a book like this one?
You simple can’t.
You see? We as readers always try, tirelessly, to seek a story that changes us completely. That despite having the same genre may be different from the previous one we read. A story that evokes emotions that no other book could achieve. And this time, it’s taking me quite some time to find the correct words to describe how I felt after reading Under The Lies.
It’s a masterpiece that was crafted in an unique way. I can’t even give a precise definition of the trope. Or in this case, tropes, the book has.
I only can assure to the readers that are thinking to give a try to this talented author; you won’t regret giving your time to this book.
You can tell from the very first pages that the author was extremely invested in the story. The background and personality of the characters, the writing style, the pace and other important elements that were executed with precision to deliver us this fantastic result were on point. Ithis is for sure, a story that will be imprinted in our hearts forever.
It’s quite obvious the author has also some knowledge about poetry. You can sense how delicate and deep her words are when she tries to make us understand the darkness and also the light each one of the characters have in their souls. Even Noah, having a rough live after he lost his family, couldn’t deny how he craved the light. And that was what Sayer was meant to be; his salvation. His second chance to breathe again.
I won’t explain more of the story because I honestly believe you should go in completely blinded. Not even reading the blurb. There are tons of surprises that would wait for you. Every time you turn over the pages, something completely unexpected will make you smile and admit the potential the story has.
And to end this review, I will share one of my favorite quotes:
“His touch passion. His stare hungry. There’s something about being this close, around all these strangers, and still feel like we’re alone as we explore. As we feed the hunger growing in every touch.”
Totally recommend this book that is now part of my TOP 5 of books I LOVE in this 2019.
I’m obsessed with Sarah E. Green’s cat-nip style writing. I could consume every word for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and still crave more. Under the Lies held me captive from the very first chapter. I fell hard for Sayer, and even harder for her deep romance with Noah. Their love story is in soul mate territory, from crushing at a young age to falling deeper later in life when their paths cross again. The suspense plot will hook you in, but their epic love will make you remember them long after the book is closed.

This book, oh my God! It was amazing!! First of all it is dark ( wich I love) and second of all, it is chiché free. At first I thought that’s gonnna be a bad-boy good girl trope (and maybe not original at all) but there are just too many things that make you fall in love with this book!! Wow..
What a story. I wasn’t ready for this one. It was amazing.
It was dark and twisty, completely new and fresh and far away from cliches. You may think this is a classic ‘taming the bad boy’ book but it is so far from that it’s silly.
The twists in this plot will have you guessing until the absolute end.
I love Sayer, she’s just a girl trying to figure out why she feels lost, why she doesn’t feel like she belongs in the world that she’s living in. When she gets roped into helping out some unlikely people, her entire world shifts and leaves her tilted and viewing her world in an entirely different perspective.
Noah, oh man, Noah. He’s a super complex character. He’s harsh, demanding, and ruthless. He’s a man who was dealt a rough hand and worked with whatever means he had to make a name for himself, to make his world one that he could tolerate and not be pushed aside by the elitist of Haven Harbor.
This story will leave you guessing the whole time, the end had me completely thrown and the HEA was on point. I absolutely fell for Noah Kincaid. Wonderful, wonderful book.
A little bit forbidden, a little bit angsty, this one captured me on page 1 and didn’t let me go until the end.
There were so many layers, to both the MCs, to the surrounding friends, to their relationships, not only with one another, but with the people in their lives.
I love a heroine that grows into her own, especially during the kind of strife these characters were going through. And a hero that is only soft for the ones he loves.
I definitely look forward to more from this author.
Man, Noah is intense!From the beginning you can feel it! His character exudes strength and power! I didn’t like Harlow before she was even present . Haha. Sayer gave it as good as she got it too so I liked that she wasn’t too much of a weak “damsel in distress” .The quirky character traits to them all made it that much more fun to read
Under The Lies was a great read. I loved it. I loved Noah and Sayer. The sexual tension was thick and the sexy scenes scorching. I could not get enough of those two. Definitely recommend this!
This is the first book that I read from Sarah Green, I think? Anyways, I like her writing style.
I like the character of Sayer Brooks who is in her semester for her Master’s degree. And then there is the local crime bad boy Noah Kincaid. There was not a moment I wasn’t pulled into finding out what happens next. Drama check, suspenseful moments double check. I’m glad to have found another author to put on my watch list. If you want alpha bad boy and heroine that puts him in his place. I can not recommend this book enough.
