Publisher's summary

A brand new hockey romance standalone from New York Times Bestselling Author Claire Contreras set in the same world as Until I Get You...

Finneas Alexander Barlow is a walking thirst trap. Tall, hot, and broody. Tousled brown hair, chiseled jaw, alluring green eyes, perfect teeth, well-groomed beard, broad shoulders, and lips good enough to bite. He’d look like a Disney prince if the prince was a broody ahole.

Four years ago, a fated meeting led to an inevitable hook-up. Just one. It’s his rule. One-time hook-ups, no information exchanges, and no repeats. I knew that even before he established his boundaries, and he kept his promise. I hadn’t seen or heard from him since.

A year ago, when tragedy struck, he came back to town and sought me out. Gone was the disarming grin and the innuendos he’d once used to make my knees go weak. Unfortunately, his ire was equally debilitating. Now he’s back as the face of Fairview’s brand new professional hockey team and he’s looking for answers I don’t have. Finn won’t accept that, though. He’s as determined to uncover my secrets as I am to keep them. He pushes as hard as I pull. It’s only a matter of time before the rope snaps. Now I can only hope I'm the one left standing.

Claire Contreras never disappoints!

Another great story from CC. I may love Finn even more than Lachlan. This was my 1st narration by Stephen Dexter and he’s definitely going on my fav narrator list.

Absolutely Loved Every Moment!

Give me all that spice with all the swoon!! There was absolutely no part of When We Lied by Claire Contreras that I did not love!

This hockey romance with darker themes had all the spice, character growth, plot, relationship development, and second chance elements that I will devour time and time again!

There is a reason this author is one of my favorites and it's because her stories are never a miss for me with what I am looking for emotionally!

Claire's stories are a consuming roller coaster of fun banter, angst, swoon, spice, intrigue, twists, and that's exactly what I got from Finn and Josslyn's story

The way my heart ached for them, I love them so! Watching Finn struggle to understand and process his own feelings, gahhh all the feels!

I listened to When We Lied on audio as I read along on my kindle and the narrators were amazing! I have loved stories narrated by Janine Granda and this was a wonderful first listen for me of Stephen Dexter!

Hockey Romance
Obsessive/Possessive MMC
Contemporary with darker themes
Second Chance Elements

When we Lied is set in the same world as Until I Get you, but can be enjoyed as a standalone story.

Best book I read this year!

The smut is 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ from the very first chapter I was entrance! But the story plot was SOO GOOD! I love how the love story is between Jocelyn & Finn. How possessive and in love he is without him releasing at first. How genuine & kind Jocelyn is warmed my heart! The banter between characters had me laughing so hard in so many parts I truly loved it all! It had romance, drama, & comedy. But the plot twist lord!! I did not see that coming at all! Overall I truly loved the story line and the narrators did a great job on there part.

Great romantic suspense!

I think Claire is one of my new favorites! She’s writes such great romantic suspense. The plot moves quickly and the spice is fantastic.

Set in the same world as Until I Get You but you really don’t have to read it before. I hate when interconnected standalones spoil the next books but she does a great job leaving you guessing about what happens in the previous book if you haven’t read.

Both narrators were fantastic. They each had a great speed and also were great at opposing gender voices, which can really deter me. Great read!
