Beneath the Lies by Riann C Miller
4 stars
Reviewed by Gaynor
Beneath the lies is the Story of Gavin and Kate. It’s a contemporary romance/new adult with a lot of twists and turns! Kate is a Student dealing with the loss of her parents, she starts college life by staying with a family friend who’s son Gavin, seems to know more about Kate than she realises. The two begin a whirlwind romance, but as far as instalove goes it’s at a believable pace for flow of the story. Kate’s life however is about to get whole lot more complicated with the arrival of mysterious letters and newspaper articles as well as some out of the blue emails which are about to reveal a much darker secret about her past!
As far as the story goes, i found it a little slow to get going, there was a lot going on with the sub characters and the student party life which could have been pared down a little as it did become a distraction from everything that was going on between Gavin and Kate, and there is a lot going on with them. Gavin at the start is portrayed more as an Alpha which i didnt feel really matched his character as the story progressed, the way he spoke to kate at “those” moments seemed almost out of nowhere and kind of made me dislike him a little if i’m honest. Kate’s Character is instantly likeable though and whilst her past has left her vulnerable she still has a strength to her which she is going to need for the next installment! I love the fact that the story was wrapped up as far as this book goes but we were left with a cliffhanger which leaves me intrigued to know more about some of the characters who appear later in the story. I have given this 4 stars mainly due to the fact that i felt Gavin could have been a little less alpha and i felt that the more steamy scenes were a little hastily written. A great read though and a real page turner towards the end!
