 One Little Lie by Avery Maxwell

Release Date: November 5, 2021


My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

The Westbrooks: Family Ties Series Synopsis:

The Chaos Continues! You met their chosen family in Broken Hearts. Now get the stories of the Westbrook Brothers as they fight for, and sometimes against, their happily ever after.


One Little Lie Book Synopsis: 

She's the only one I'll ever love, but I had to let her go.

Rylan Maroney is the biggest lie I've ever told, and it nearly destroyed everyone in my life. No matter how much it hurts, I can never have her again.


He broke my heart and walked away, but he hasn't let me go.

Halton Westbrook has haunted my life from four thousand miles away for the last eight years. I've tried to move on, but he makes it impossible.


No one knows about us or why I ran away, but he's gone too far this time, and I have to take a stand.

When I return home, he'll have to decide, keep me, or let me go forever.

I'm not sure we'll survive either way.


My review:

“… my mother has an odd habit of adopting people, regardless of age.  If she decides you’re family, you’re subject to our chaos for life.”

This quote says everything you need to know about the Westbrook family.  They are big-hearted, rowdy, dedicated to family, and create chaos wherever they go.  One Little Lie, which is Halton’s (Hatty) book, is the second book in the Westbrook series.  To really understand the series and the family’s close bonds they share with each other, you need to start with the first book in the Broken Hearts series, Cross My Heart.  Also, the books are linked by family secrets and enemies that are slowly revealed through the series.  There are four books in that series and once you start the first book you will be addicted to the Westbrook family. 

“Our life is made up of moments in time.  Some moments we capture.  Some moments we royally screw up and some moments bring you right where you were always meant to be.”

This describes Hatty and Rylan’s relationship perfectly.  They met as children and as they got older, they captured their moments together; Rylan with a camera and Hatty with his art. As they finish high school, complications and misunderstandings destroy their relationship.  Now as adults they have a second chance together but first, they must learn to communicate and clear up all the lies and misunderstandings. 

This family will touch your heart and pull you into their chaotic lives.  I absolutely love the Westbrook family and their stories are unforgettable.  I have read through the series several times and will certainly do so again.  They keep getting better and better.  I really look forward to the next book which will be Colton’s.  He is the fun brother and the one always up to pranks so seeing him find his one and only should be interesting!

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
