Publisher's summary

After missing out on the chance to represent the United States in the last winter games, Isaac McAllister’s focus was second to none. He spent the past few years away from his family training for this moment. He had a dream, a dream that only came every four years, and he would do anything he could to make it happen. Even if it meant breaking hearts along the way. Olympic gold was the prize, love would just have to wait.

Canadian Foster Donovan Jr. had it all. Money, fame, and good looks. But what his peers truly envied was his natural talent on the slopes. Two-time world champion and defending Olympic gold medalist, Foster would do anything to defend his status as the best of his generation and join the ranks of the greatest alpine skiers. Even if it meant crushing the dreams of the only man he’d ever loved.

What would Foster and Isaac do when the price of their ambition became a heartache for the other?

A dream four years in the making. Two countries. Two men. One Olympic gold medal. All the White Lies We Tell is a story about rivals turned lovers vying for the same glory.

Amazing!

I fell in love with these two immediately and they will stay in my heart for a long time! Great character development and secondary characters. I'm now going to read every book by this author I can get my hands on, but I'll always remember my first!

Perfection!!!

All the White Lies We Tell tells a story about two men with the same dream, but what they found was each other. A book with so many layers and the emotional journey both Isaac and Foster had was so beautiful to witness. Highly recommend this book.

Michael Dean did a phenomenal job with this story! Garry Michael plus Michael Dean equals perfect pairing!

So. Freaking. Good

My first book by Garry Michael, and i just loved it! Listened to it all in one day... Michael Dean did an awesome job as well. I'm going to now look into other books by this author!!

Garry Michael Wins Gold!

I’ve said this before and I’ll say this again. Garry Michael is probably one of the best MM storytellers out there. This book has it all. Love, passion, emotions, humor and steam. This is by far my favorite read this year.

Just amazing!

Wonderful

Super enjoyable, audio book. Great characters good story. predictable, yes, but that’s OK. I like Michael Dean as a narrator, but my main complaint is that he is not able to distinguish between different character voices. He’s got one speed, which in a case like this is a disappointment. Nonetheless, great audio experience, which I highly recommend.

Another Winner From Garry Michael

One of the best sports romance I’ve ever read. Emotional, funny and very steamy. A well written story that will stay with me for a long time.

Very engaging and passionate

I listened to the audiobook version. The narrator is excellent.
This book is by far my favorite of Garry Michael's. I loved all of the olympic details of downhill skiing. It made the story so much more engaging and interesting. Isaac and Foster come from two very different backgrounds and you root for them throughout the whole book, not just for their relationship but for the individual goals and accomplishments.
There was an interesting family dynamic on both parts. Isaac's family melted my heart and it made the ending so satisfying.
This book was very steamy and I loved the passion between these two athletes.
Loved this book so much! Highly recommend.

Audiobook Perfection

All The White Lies We Tell (audio), book two in the From The Ashes series by Garry Michael, is a gem.
I loved Foster and Isaac! They felt like real people, they weren't perfect and had flaws just like anyone else.
Isaac is the sweetest man, he is so vulnerable, enthusiastic, innocent, and just a good person to his core.
Foster was cocky, but I enjoyed getting to know him and discovering what was under the surface.
There was plenty of heat in this book. It was descriptive, and the passion between the characters was palpable. I could feel the love and trust between these men.

From the first chapter, I was addicted to this story. The writing style is pulled me in and didn't let me go. I went through all kinds of emotions, I cried, laughed, got frustrated, etc.

I also loved all the side characters, especially Foster's sister had a special place in my heart.

Michael Dean narrated the audiobook. I love his voice, it's enjoyable to listen to for hours. He really gave life to Foster and Isaac, I felt like I was a witness through it all.

I don't read much mmromance, but Garry Michael is one of my favorite authors in that genre. Like his previous stories, All The White Lies We Tell feels l realistic, and it has all the love, emotions, steam, and humor. It took me away from this world and let me witness a beautiful love story.

I received an ALC from the author but am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

A Wonderful Book

If you read my review of this beautiful book after I had read the ARC then you would know that I gave it 5⭐️ and absolutely loved it.

After listening to the audio book I still love it. Michael Dean brings the characters to life and I fell in love with Mac and Oz all over again. As I was listening to them trying to win gold in the 2022 Beijing Olympics I had the Winter Olympics on the TV and watching those guys hurtling down the mountain, all the white snow and the bluest of skies it could well have been Mac and Oz and let’s not forget Yoshi, I loved Yoshi.

I mentioned in my book review that Garry didn’t hold back with the steamy scenes, well listening to Michael Dean bringing those scenes into my living room I almost felt like I was there and enthusiastically cheering them on, a bit worrying!😂

For those of you who enjoy audio books then I would highly recommend this one.

Loved!

I loved this book! Isaac and Foster had a bumpy start, with a quick smooth over to start a friendship that turned into more. I loved the secondary characters and the amount of emotional range from one moment to the next kept me on my toes. The narration was perfect and performed a lively story to keep me entertained throughout the entire book.
