She owns my heart. My goal is to one day own hers again.
I want her.What she doesnโ€™t want is me. She made that perfectly clear the summer after high school when she broke up with me. That hasnโ€™t stopped her from crawling in my bed on more than one occasion though.Not that anyone knows about us, or our past.Weโ€™ve kept that secret under lock and key for years. But Iโ€™m getting sick and tired of lying to my friends. Iโ€™m not ashamed of my love for her.Yes, I love her.I always have. And I know she loves me too. Sheโ€™s just afraid to admit it.When we get caught in a compromising position though, all the lies sheโ€™s been telling start to crumble around her. And if thereโ€™s one thing she hates more than me at the moment, itโ€™s being vulnerable.That doesnโ€™t stop me from taking advantage of her weakened state. Of trying to work my way back into her heart. Of reminding her why we should be together. But the more she lets me in, the more her lies are starting to get twisted.The ones sheโ€™s telling others but mostly the ones sheโ€™s been telling herself.If I want my second chance, Iโ€™m going to have to find a way to break through the fortress sheโ€™s erected around her heart.I know sheโ€™s the one for me. She has been since we were teenagers.My first love. My last. My only.

Twisted Little Lies is the eight interconnected standalone book in the Lake State University series. This installment continues where the Tangled Little Truths left off.

In this installment, we get Cleo and Kaneโ€™s story. It surprised me to learn of Cleo and Kaneโ€™s relationship. I honestly thought she and Max would end up together, but I was way off.ย The biggest surprise was learning of the history between Cleo and Kane. A history which went as far back as middle school. Now these two had a lot of issues to work through.

Cleo annoyed and frustrated me with her behaviour. Without a doubt, Kane loved her to put up with her behaviour. I found her reasons for ending their relationship in high school pretty dumb. It revealed her level of maturity. Even after four years of college, she kept holding on to that reason. Then there were the lies she told her friends, but the biggest one was the one she told herself. It took me sometime to warm up to her.

Kane was a sweetheart. He knew what he wanted and would move heaven and earth to get it. He fought hard for his forever with Cleo.

Twisted Little Liesย has a lot of angst, enough to give one a whiplash. Now matter how hard Kane tried to prove to her they belonged together, she kept pushing back. However, the harder she pushed back, the more intense things grew between them.

The supporting characters added depth to the story and helped to make things interesting. It was fun catching up with the couples from the previous books and getting a peek at where they were in their relationship.

Overall, a great addition to the series….. excited to see what the next book will offer.ย
