Broken Lies

Rate this book
Niamh
Mysterious and mine.
He doesn't know it yet, and I have no idea if he even feels the same, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.
Tia may have set me on the path to healing, but he's the one that came for me. That saved me.

Tino
Tiny and terrified.
Two words I can honestly say I've never been interested in, until now.
All the women of my past have been strong, confident, articulate. And yet, the one that keeps me awake at night couldn't even bring herself to look me in the eye.
But somethings changing, she's changing. And the more I see, the more I want.

Will Niamh and Tino make it out of the lies they find themselves entangled in? Or do others see more than they bargained for?

I LOVED this so much.

Such a strong and heartwarming journey Niamh is going through. Love the support she’s getting, so nice having everyone around doing what they can.

And the angst and attraction - wow - so hot when they are together.

As always drama and action to keep you intrigued and engaged.

But that cliffy 🥺 I need more 🖤

SO DAMN GOOD.

It was good to hang out with Anton, Elena, Carlos , Sophia, Tia, & Cian again , but let’s not mistake that this book is 100% Tino & Niamh’s story .

Tino has had heartbreak, a deep sadness that only a loss can bring , but he has always had the family behind him , a family not through blood , but through loyalty, & traditions.

Niamh and her family are not particularly close , but if push comes shove they will fight for each other . Which is what she did for Cian , and what he did for her, but neither of them realised that .
The darkness that she had to suffer to protect her brother has affected her mentally. She is a shell of the person she used to be . She is fighting back , but sometimes the darkness pulls her backwards.

Tino & Niamh have a pull towards each other , after all it was Tino that saved her . He tries to keep his distance, because of the age gap , but their pull is to hard for them to fight .
Once they start on this journey nothing , & no one can stop it ….. not even an overprotective, guilt ridden brother

Such a brilliant read

Broken Lies is a story of Niamh’s journey to healing and finding love after her trauma. Tino rescued Niamh from captivity and is extremely protective of her. He is the one who found her and saw her at her worst, most vulnerable state and the only one who knows to some degree what she went through. Because of this, she finds comfort in him. She is not ready to talk to anyone else about what she experienced or be around large groups of people, especially men but she has Tino to lean on. They start feeling a spark between them and she finds that she is more herself when she is with him. It’s so sweet to see how much he cares for her.

It was also nice to hang out with the rest of the characters as well. I missed Anton, Elena, Tia and the rest of the crew. The story so far is beautifully written and leaves off on a minor cliffhanger. I just love Niamh and Tino together and cannot wait to see how their relationship grows.

Happy Reading!!

Oh man I've been waiting on Niamh and Tino's story ever since I read that lil part in Elena and Antons final book and couldn't wait for it. Niamh has wanted Tino, but has been to afraid to do anything. He's been very protective of her ever since he saved her and now that she's healing from the trauma he starts feeling that maybe he might want something more, but will she want something more to?
In this story we get to take the journey with Niamh as she slowly heals throughout the story and Tino is there through it all, and you can't help falling in love with her and Tino. You need to grab this book it was so good.

I have been waiting for this book! It is definitely my favourite of the series. I just FLOVE Tino 😍😍 Now I know some people have already claimed him, but we can share right? 😂

Niamh is coming to terms with some trauma that has happened to her. She is a shell of her former self and she is trying hard to get her back. Tino awakens something in her that she didn't think she would get back again.

Tino is the one who saved Niamh and he is now very protective over her. But is it more than that for Tino?

I have loved following these two on their journey so far! It was brilliant to catch up with everyone else as well. Each character is helping Niamh in their own way as she finds her way through life after feeling very lost and trying to deal with her trauma. But Tino, Tino is the one that makes her buzz and make her feel alive. He is so good for her and I can't wait for the next book to see where it goes! This does end on a cliffhanger. Heather I want, no I NEED the next book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Niman has wanted Tino for quite some time, but had always been too afraid to do anything about it. Tino is protective over Nimah after saving her from some past trauma, and now that she's finally healing, he's finding he may want more from her.

I love Tino and how he is around Nimah. He's so protective and sweet with her. Nimah has had a lot of trauma and issues to deal with and it was great getting to see this character heal over time with this book. It felt a lot more realistic having her heal as the story progressed unlike other stories that have the FMC start healing toward the end of the story.

Nimah is a weaker FMC, which isn't a bad thing, and it's what makes this story great. She's not some battle hardened warrior that nothing can ever bother, and that makes this story much more relatable.

I’m going to start this with Tino is mine.


I have been waiting for Tinos story for what feels like the LONGEST time, but it’s here! It’s finally here!
Tino is the perfect mix of over protective alpha and loyal to a fault to the ones that he calls family.

He rescues Niamh from hell but doesn’t realise how much she also rescues him from been completely closed off to the world. There may be an age gap but everything that Niamh has been through makes her old beyond her years.

Been close to cian (her brother) again makes them been together difficult but of course love will always find away!

I want more of them.

Broken Lies is the emotional story of two people each dealing with their own kind of broken pieces, for Tino, it is through a great loss for Niamh it is the darkness that holds her captive for the love of her brother, so it was inevitable that Tino would be the one to save her, and all through their story the supporting cast all have a part to play, in this moving journey of finding love again and healing in the dark dangerous world they live in.

After meeting Tino & Niamh throughout the previous books in the series i wont lie and say i wasnt excited to get to their story and boy what a fab story it is.
Seeing Niamh begin to be herself again and get that confidence back was just beautiful and to see Tino realise that he had feelings for Niamh was great!
Cant wait to jump into book 2 of their duet to see whats next!
