Behind every hero is the damage that made him.

Lies We Tell, Book 1

Computer game designer Ellie Fox can't wait to start her new job in Japan. But first there's one loose end in Auckland she needs to tie up: her obsession with her older brother's best friend, Hunter Chase.

She's sick of being "kid zoned". It's time to make like one of her kick-ass computer game heroines and take matters into her own hands. Except when she finally has Hunter where she wants him, her hands are the last thing he'll let her use.

Hunter works hard at running the construction firm he co-owns with his friend, and at keeping his distance from his dysfunctional family. Control is his linchpin, but there's just one spanner in the worksâ??Ellie.

The girl he always looked out for suddenly seems determined to make him see her as a woman. But with a past darker than the angel wings tattooed on his back, the safest place for her is just beyond arm's length. Or the next heart to suffer damage could be hers.

Warning: Contains a tortured hero, a determined heroine, cosplay kink, and a twisted twist that could cause mental whiplash. Line to the WTF Infirmary forms on the right.… (meer)

** spoiler alert **

Ellie has loved Hunter for years. He sees her as a kid still. She is moving to Tokyo and decides to go after him. Hunter has baggage. He does not want to hurt Ellie but his past gets in her way.

I liked Ellie. She went after what she wanted. Hunter put obstacles in her way but she broke through each one. When she finally discovers what his past includes she tries to help him by not allowing him to hide from the truth.

While this is a painful story it brought to light the sexual abuse of teen-age boys by older women. It had an impact on Hunter and his sexuality as well as his familial relationships. I'm glad that Ellie had his adult back. ( )
