Cruel Lies by Lilian Harris

4.0

Cruel Lies by Lilian Harris is a forbidden age gap mafia romance. This is the second book in the Messina Crime Family series. 

I loved the chemistry between Raphael and Nicolette. I really enjoyed the slow burn throughout the book as they finally come together. Their relationship is messy and has a lot of hurdles, but you can't help but root for them. 

I can't wait for the next book in the series Twisted Promises to be released on May 15, 2023, so I can get Gio and Iseult's story.

I would recommend this book if you like forbidden romances, age gap romances, mafia romances, or romantic suspense.
