I made a mistake.

Hearts are the most fragile part of the body, and I trusted mine with Jude Carlisle.

My villain. My weakness. My stepbrother.

Fairytales have a way of turning the most innocent things wicked.

Jude lied through his teeth, and I fell for every word. Then he burned both our families to the ground in a sick game of revenge and never looked back.

When I see him again years later—tattooed, pierced, as vicious and lethal as ever—I should know better. Except this time, I'm not the girl looking for a hero. And I'm tempted to let Jude eat me alive if it means I'll finally be his.

I thought I knew the truth.
I thought I unmasked all the monsters.
I thought I understood how our story would end.

But the trouble with wolves is they’re always lying. And what big lies mine told.

Lies Like Love is an emotionally twisted, dark, fairytale inspired romance with a morally grey hero, heavy subject matter, mature content, and explicit scenes. Content/TWs (which contain spoilers) can be found on author's website. 18+ only.

The biggest lie we told ourselves is that we haven’t always wanted this.

4.0 out of 5 stars REALLY REALLY GOOD!

When my book bestie said how good this series was I knew I had to check it out. “Lies Like Love” is the first book I’ve read by Eva & I can’t believe I haven’t read it sooner! This book has it all- it’s a dark & spicy step sibling romance w/lots of secrets, & a huge plot twist I did NOT expect. This book keeps you invested trying to put the puzzle pieces together. I had so many theories & ideas running through my head about why Jude kept his secrets yrs prior, & why he’d walk away f/Fel when he cared so much for her. So I needed answers! I wanted to know what those secrets were & what could possibly make a man who’s so protective & obsessed about his girl, walk out of her life- and stay away for over a decade.
I loved Jude, he had serious touch her & die vibes! He was so protective & obsessed, & his possessive & controlling nature was HOT! Fel was pretty incredible too! She was sassy & smart, but in the bedroom she was submissive!
I can’t wait to dive into book 2! And I definitely want to check out Eva’s other series too!

“𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲, 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥.“
“𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭?“
“𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐞.“

Jude and Felicity (Fel) were step-siblings for two years when they were teenagers. They both grew up in wealthy society and feel like that lifestyle doesn’t fit. When their parents’ marriage ends incredibly badly Jude disappears from Fel’s life. Eleven years later, the two cross paths again and it’s immediately apparent that the draw that they have always felt toward each other has not lessened with time. But their past is so full of secrets and lies, it might not be possible for them to move past it.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.

Jude is a moody, dark-haired, tattooed body piercer who uses underground fighting to soothe his rage. Fel is innocent and sheltered and trying to make a life for herself without her family’s money. Once Fel is back in Jude’s life, it quickly becomes apparent that he will stop at nothing to protect her from any threats - past, present or future.

𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐈’𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠.

I had such high expectations for this book and let me just say I was NOT disappointed!! This book is phenomenal! The story and world that Eva created is intriguing and complex. There are secrets and lies exposed and some twists and turns that I did not see coming! The tension between Jude and Fel as they fight their own feelings and each other is so, so good! And when they finally give in…the spice is *chef’s kiss*!
Jude is unapologetically morally gray and Fel has his whole heart and soul (and he definitely has mine). Fel is feisty and enjoys challenging Jude while he helps her find her inner strength and confidence. The other characters in the book were so intriguing! Lies Like Love is Book 1 in the Twisted Roses series and I’m so excited to see where the next book takes us! In the meantime, I will be diving into Eva’s Enemy Muse series while I wait!!

“𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐅𝐞𝐥.“

3.0 out of 5 stars I debated on 3 or 4 stars :
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023

I was hooked from the beginning, now staying hooked was the problem. I liked the characters decent enough but I can't say I loved them. What I don't understand and a lot of authors do this, is when the fmc is trying to make it on her own and be independent but they are literally doing odd jobs. Several times we read that felicity was trying to make it making and selling her jewelry and how she could barely afford to make ends meet, come on go out and get a real job. It frustrates me because instead of being independent like the author intends she's naive and irresponsible especially at 26. I thought for sure I'd love this book since the fmc and mmc are in their late 20s but unfortunately they acted like adolescents to me. Felicity also just took whatever anyone told her and ran with it never really demanding answers. Jude was decent enough but he was made to be a big bad wolf throughout the entire book when in reality he really wasn't. Yes he won a few fights and stabbed a few people but other than that he was an ordinary person "with darkness inside " . It also got really repetitive and boring. The entire book was setting up the big secrets which didn't come until around 70% and by the time the secrets started to unravel it was pretty anticlimactic since it was drawn out. Sex scenes were good enough, really no complaint there. I really wanted to like this book and give 4 stars but the more I read the more I got annoyed and I was ready to finish it just for it to be over with. I feel as though a good 30% of the monologue and repetition of " we're forbidden" blah blah blah could have been cut and it would've made for a better read. Also why were they so forbidden and taboo when they were only step siblings for 2 years ? They also met before the parents got married. My personal opinion I don't see that as taboo. Overall decent enough read. I will read crew and echos story.

Ok this book sat in my list to read for months and I honestly regret not reading it sooner. I love how thru the whole book they did flash backs instead of splitting the book in half like authors normally do for this kinda book. The plot twist at the end was AH-MAZING. I 100% expected it to go a totally different way and I’m so glad it didn’t. If you have this on your reading list- just read it already!

Loved it. This book was great, loved fel and Jude they made such a good couple. I absolutely believed in their love for each other. Seeing the, transform from kids into adults and make something great with all the stuff that went on was truly amazing. The plot twist I did not see coming. Both sets of parents and fels grandparents should remain im the bin! Truly disgusting people the lot of them. I love how fel grew into her own without Jude and then blossomed even further with him. He truly was her protector and loved her beyond anything. I’m so so glad they made it work. Looking forward to the next book

Having had this recommended to me I thought I would read as I have never read anything by Eva Simmons before.
I loved and hated in equal measure the way she keeps you in suspense about the underlying background story for our main MC’s. I only hated it because she was go good at keeping it a secret up until right into the third act. Oh man was that a good reveal.
Jude you love instantly even though he’s meant to be the villain, you can tell from the get go his utter devotion to Fel even though he tries to convince the reader otherwise. I liked the dynamic amongst all the Twisted Roses members and am glad to see they have their own stories too.
