Audiobook Review: The Lies We Play by Claudia Burgoa, narrators Grace Grant, Robert Hatchet, and Stephen Borne

 

Blurb: 

I had two men, one secret marriage, and a love the law refused to name.

Then came the accident.

When I woke up, Halston Saint Claire was hidden behind his family’s money, lawyers, and lies. Creed Lafontaine was gone. Everyone around me insisted the rings, the vows, the three of us—it was all trauma talking.

So I did what broken girls with color-coded calendars and trust issues do best.

I survived.

Now I live in Florence, restoring damaged art and pretending the past doesn’t still have its hands on me. Until one forged document drags me back into the Saint Claire world, where old money buries truth, families weaponize concern, and the two men I never stopped loving are closer than I’m ready for.

Creed remembers everything.

Halston remembers in fragments.

And I remember enough to know our love wasn’t the lie.

It was the thing everyone tried to erase.

Now the three of us have one chance to uncover what really happened that night, reclaim the marriage stolen from us, and decide whether a love built for three can survive ten years of betrayal.

Because in the Saint Claire world, love was never the most dangerous thing.

It was the lies we played to survive it.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

Quite a tale of love lost, secrets, danger, and reunion of love. Three people, Livia, Halston, and Creed, found love together, but there were those who did not want that. I felt for Livia and Creed when a tragic accident caused a great rift, and they lost each other. Their families kept them apart through many different ways. I loved how these three never stopped loving each other despite believing they had been abandoned. Creed's amnesia was used against him. A very steamy story with plenty of heartbreak and a love so strong they came back to each other.
Grace Grant, Stephen Borne, and Robert Hatchet did a wonderful job with the tension, joy, tears, and other emotions that moved through this story. I enjoyed the story more.

This is my unsolicited review.
