Wicked Lies Boys Tell

De: K Webster

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan

I’m in love with my best friend.

Lie.

I’m in love with my enemy.

Truth.

But they’re the same.

They. Are. The. Same.

Lines in my world are blurry between fantasy and reality. Truth and lies. Love and hate.

Copeland Justice is my enemy. My once best friend. The sadist in my heart plucking and pulling at every thread of who I am until I’m unraveled at his feet.

His mouth says he hates me. His eyes burn with animosity for me. His heart beats for someone else.

But Copeland Justice is the best liar of us all.

My first same sex romance novel and was amazing

Wow, I'm shocked but not surprised at how much I loved this book. A sweet, touching, turbulent love story filled with so much emotion and truth. Exquisitely written to convey that love is love as long as both people share the same feelings and preferences. The story makes me wish I could have found love this strong and enduring. 💞

5/5 stars! Audio and Ebook!!

I read this story a while back, but it is just as great in audio too.

I adore Penn and Copeland. I love how their relationship evolves into something mushy and cliché.

I decided to download the audio since Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton narrated. Individually they are fantastic, but together, these two are AMAZING!

Young love

This was such a beautiful story of friendship, enemies,desire,and becoming one within each other. I loved this book! It’s a book that I know I will re-read. K knows how to bring on the drama and the forbidden!

Coming out!

This is my first BL and I'm officially in love, with both the book and the author. I stared listening last night and now I'm going to work sleepless with a smile on my face.

Hot!!

I absolutely loved this book and the audio version was just as amazing!
K Webster never disappoints. And the narrators nailed it.

Really good actually

Kinda cliche, especially with the “happily ever after” ending that is so typical with this genre. But overall the narration and general vibe and interest level I had with this book was great. Some really exciting scenes in here.

Perfect Narration Duo!

I absolutely love Teddy and Jacob narrating together and this was a perfect story for them to bring to life. It captured me from the very start and didn’t let go! You get all the feels of this friends to lovers love story. Fantastic don’t miss it.

Love!

Penn and Copeland stole my heart.
This story pulled me in so much I felt every emotion of Penn and Copeland. Every smile, every tear, every beat of their hearts.

teenagers are exhausting

Content warning for violence. There’s verbal, emotional, & physical abuse from varied authority figures, There are fights. Most named characters wind up in a fight at some point. This is not always negative (like when jumping in to help stop a fight) but the fighting is prevalent.

I almost gave up after the first couple chapters of overblown teenaged angst but I stuck it out. The angst started making more sense and it got less overblown and it was a decent romance after all. (It stayed wildly dramatic, but knowing reasons made it reasonably wildly dramatic.) The evil fathers were quite the drama llamas, enough that I worried that it might not be a romance after all and Penn, Cope or both would end up dropped off a cliff but there is an HEA.

Quibbles:
Penn starting out as the hero football quarterback with a rich dad but not having a posse of friends struck me as odd. Sure, he doesn’t invite people over to his unsafe house. But his popularity dynamic was handled awkwardly & unbelievably. All his old friends vanish from the narrative after his arm breaks. He didn’t need to be qb for the story to work, so it was an odd choice for a character who spends most of the book as a loner with 2 friends. But his relationships with Cope & Leah are entertaining enough that I mostly didn’t care about ditching his other raggedy friends.
The characters were more black and white good/evil with very little shading of grey. The addict mom is almost entirely off page and I don’t think she ever shows up in scene in the house where she lives.
Max was a jerk, not a romantic.
Also, these are teens with knowledge of and access to quality birth control & while I think the first pregnancy scare was handled well, why was there a second one? Birth control works. Right. Dramatic teens. 🙄

Steam: Medium, maybe medium-hot due to quantity. There’s M/M sex on page and our heroes find joy in it and god knows they need the joy.

Narration: Pretty good. One of the narrators had more inflection difference between speech and non-speech text which occasionally sounded a little wooden, but did make it easier to distinguish thoughts from speech. Sound quality was even & good.

good but parts were unnecessary

audio was amazing - 5 stars
story was ok to good 3.5-4 stars. very predictable and I'm starting to feel the same story over and over with every MM book I'm reading. Unfortunately, I might be taking it out on an older book since I'm reading them after some of the others - oh well.

The biggest problem was all the unnecessary drama that the author brought into the story.

Spoiler but not really - am I the only one who thought there was going to be a surprise paternity reveal? That was a whole lot of why did you put that in when you could have spent the time with something more important to the story
