Before reading this review, just go One Click this book!
Seriously it is everything and more.
As the title states, this book is full of deliciously filthy lies that will have you squirming in your knickers with delight.
Love, love, love the chemistry between James & Winter.
From the moment you start reading their story, you will immediately swoon for all the love that pours off the pages.
Author Raine Miller delivers another powerful romantic story.
I really fell in love with being in love like these characters.
Emotionally sexy & full of delightful surprises of friends becoming lovers.
This is another book to love in the Blackstone Dynasty that you don't want to mis reading.
A Top 2018 Must Read!

The story didnt work for me.
It was predictable and un inspiring.
The Dom trope works is many books, but in this case, it offers nothing new.
James might be a Dom in the bedroom, but in real life, he is a coward. He doesn't take charge of his own life, he lets his father dictate his future.
The plot was weak and wasn't believable. Why would an independent man who doesn't lack for money, agree to marry someone just to satisfy his fathers political ambitions?
James was a weak character, didnt identify with his situation and couldn't figure out why he let himself be played like that.

Winter Blackstone is a 24 year old masters student who spends her time going to school and volunteering at a youth center. She comes from the prominent Boston family, the Blackstone's. After the loss of her father she moves into the apartment building that is owned by her older brother, Caleb. That same apartment building is also home to her childhood and current crush, James Blakney.
Now that Winter lives in his building, James has a harder time hiding his feelings towards Winter. James is a lawyer and a friend of Winter's brother, Caleb. His father is a manipulative man and wants James to settle down with a woman from a wealthy family. The first and only woman that pops into his mind is Winter.
The flirting and the tension between Winter and James was through the roof! Once the lines are blurred and the boundaries are crossed there was no holding back for these two. James is sexy, he is a dominant male and he is sweet and attentive, especially towards Winter.
I have been looking forward to reading Winter and James's story since finishing Filthy Rich. It definitely lived up to my expectations, I couldn't put it down. I hope that the next book explores Lucas (Winter's brother) and Victoria (James's sister) because there is definitely a story there.

Filthy Lies was a fervently filthy modern day fairy tale. Yum!

YES! Raine Miller has taken us back into Blackstone world, and this old duck couldn't be any happier about it!
This is Caleb (from Filthy Rich) sister Winter Blackstone - I love getting a female Blackstone's story!
Winter is a beautiful, successful young woman who has been in love with her brother's best friend forever. James is a successful lawyer, and has had feelings for Winter for years, though neither of them have ever made that move.
Until now. I don't want to give too much away about the hows and whys that our lovelies make that move, but you will love it when they do.
Sweet, tender, sexy - though at times James seems a bit too unmanly for who he is (but this is probably just me). They are pretty swoony together.
There are some secondary characters that I adore, however there are some that needed a swift kick in the goolies!
I loved seeing more of Caleb and Brooke, and I can't wait to see what Ms Miller brings us next.

I got this book free in a newsletter. I've never read this author before but I enjoyed the synopsis. Boy was I pleasantly surprised!
It's hard with age-gap, sibling best friend romances. I'm this case James has been apart of Winter's entire life. While nothing creepy ever happened inappropriately, things started to change on her 15th birthday. I think romances built from life long friendships are so special. Winter and James just always got one another. When James predilection for "kink" makes him think Winter won't love him the same, he's amazed by her willingness to out utter trust in him. I'm a big fan of kink, in books and RL, I think if it's between to consenting adults it's the way it should be. I was utterly heartbroken with the loss, but it's in loving another person more than yourself you see amazing things. I was in awe of James' words, actions and feelings for Winter. Great book!! I do hope she writes more of this family.
(I'll be going back and reading book one)

I liked the beginning...
And then at around 60% it just got repetitive.
I enjoyed the start of the story, but then it just went so fast and I was skipping long scenes.

James Blakney and Winter Blackstone have known each other their whole lives, but at a distance. Not only did their ages always set them apart, but the fact that James was Caleb’s best friend didn’t help matters. That didn’t stop Winter from longing for the one man she couldn’t have, or stop James from the same. Unrequited love stories are sometimes the hardest yet juiciest to read and Raine Miller captured it beautifully in Filthy Lies.
Winter was a real sweetheart. Growing up in a life of privilege, she always wanted to find ways to give back. She was the kind of person to give away her Christmas presents to those less fortunate. She was a hard character to resist falling for. And so when I realized that she wanted to be with James, I not so patiently waited for him to wise up and see the perfection right before his eyes.
James was a dirty-talking sweetie too. He was an amazing friend, a good son, and he was secretly in love with Winter. Hooray! He was stuck on the precipice, wanting to take the leap from friendship to forever, but unsure if revealing his true feelings to Winter would ruin everything. But when an accident leaves her vulnerable and she reveals her innermost thoughts and emotions, James realizes that his wait is over.
Set amidst the drama of a shady side character and the machinations of an evil, conniving parent, James and Winter explored their love that was unlike any other. They were finally able to let go and be free, especially in the bedroom. James found his kinky and submissive better half in Winter and he was willing to do whatever it took to ensure her happiness. The story did get a tad bit repetitive, especially when it came to the inner monologues of the characters, but aside from that, I found it to be quite enjoyable. Then again I had no doubt I’d love this story as the Blackstone’s haven’t steered me wrong yet!
