BOOK REVIEW- Your Eyes Don't Lie (Lily's House Book 3) by Rachel Branton

 

 Note: All the stories in the Lily's House series are complete stories without cliffhangers. Reading all of them will catch you up with characters in previous novels, but you do not have to read them in order.

Sometimes Survival Isn’t Enough


Years of living on the street and fending for herself have made Makay Greyson tough and resourceful, if a bit disillusioned. She’s come a long way from sleeping in parks and scavenging for food. Her entire focus is on providing a better life for her young brother, one without fear of loss and neglect.

That certainly doesn’t leave time for Harrison Matthews, who from their first meeting sends fire through her veins and upsets all her carefully laid plans.

Makay has done things she isn’t proud of to survive, and those choices now threaten the small amount of security she’s created—and any chance of a future with Harrison. They’ve been raised in two very different worlds, and the secrets they both hide can only lead to disaster.

There is only one chance to make it right, and one misstep could be fatal.

Your Eyes Don’t Lie is a story about facing fears, sacrificing for those you love, and about a girl who thinks she isn’t worth loving and a guy who knows she is.

The desperation that Makay lived you could almost taste.  Her devotion to her brother Nate was off the charts.  The things that she has done to survive and to keep Nate with her weigh on her but she keeps going. 

Harrison was a good son at least to him mom.  He found his "father"an  overbearing and controlling man.  He just bears with him for his mother's sake. So many times he's just held his tongue because of that.  But boy, does his mother have some secrets. 

What a scum of the earth Lenny Pagolino was.  That pretty much says it all about him.   The problems that he caused was spectacular in it's evilness.  He also presented many dangers to Makay and Nate.
This was a well written story, so I liked it but with some reservations.  Meaning I liked some parts better than others.
