The Seduction of Pretty Lies (The Boys of Clermont Bay Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 852 ratings

Devoted. Loyal. Shameless. The Boys of Clermont Bay had been my protectors for as long as I could remember.

And Olly Warner took the job to heart.

He was intense and all-consuming, and I had been in love with him for years.

Alarmingly handsome and recklessly charming, he attempted to deny there was ever anything between us.

But we slipped over that invisible line, and the moment we gave in, something fractured.

He was leaving regardless, and I couldn’t hang on tight enough for the both of us.

Olly had always been the boy I could never have, but I couldn’t help losing myself in him.

A searing affair, the guarantee of a broken heart, and the desperation of careless promises.

Olly and I were never meant to be, and we had become nothing more than a pretty lie.

Frankie & Olly 💛🖤💛🖤
e-book 📱: 5🌟 FIVE SWEET STARS for Frankie and Olly 💛🖤💛🖤!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 As this is the first book from the duet about Frankie and Olly and thus ends with the cliffhanger, I won’t go into too much detail with this review. I truly waited for Frankie and Olly’s story from the very beginning of the series, but the wait was worth it. I enjoyed every page of this book and their sweet, mysterious, and ultimately complicated relationship. “The Seduction of Pretty Lies” is a high school/college romance with friends-to-lovers and brother’s best friend tropes that will take you back to youth and remind you what it’s like to be in love especially if that love isn’t that simple. Frankie is a female character who had a not-so-beautiful past that made everyone around her act like she is a fragile doll, especially her brother Beck. But she wants the force of opportunity to change that, and most of all she hopes that her brother's best friend Olly, with whom she is in love, will see her in the right light. Olly is a male character whose life isn't easy despite having everything he wants, except the one thing, and that thing is Frankie, with whom he has been in love practically since they met. But he has to hide his feelings just so as not to ruin the relationship with his best friend Beck. Frankie and Olly’s friendly relationship turns into a love relationship the summer before Olly goes to college. I'm immensely looking forward to the second book that is coming next week as the cliffhanger at the end of this book left me with one big question mark over my head. If you loved previous books from this series and you also love the friends-to-lovers trope, then this is the book for you!!! Highly recommended!!!

    Where to even begin with this one?! Holly Renee outdid herself when she wrote Seduction of Pretty Lies! I thought I knew what this story was going to be. I thought I had an idea of who Frankie and Olly were. I. Was. Wrong. They were soo much more than I ever could have hoped for.

    I've been not so patiently waiting for the Olly and Frankie's story since first reading Touch of A Villian. It was obvious from the very first story these two had strong feelings for each other, but there was constantly a will they won't they happening. There are several things working against them being together mainly Frankie is Olly's best friend little sister. Frankie had something happened to her that makes everyone treat her like she's fragile and could break at any moment. But she's not.

    Frankie is amazing. She's been in love with Olly for years and with him leaving for school soon now is the time to make it known. I love how much growth we see in Frankie from the beginning of the series until now. She has really grown into a strong woman. She wants Olly and she's determined to make him see she's not a young naive girl.

    Olly is just wow! I'll be honest Carson has had my heart. Until now. Olly was absolute perfection. That mouth though! The things he says will make you need a cold shower. He is possessive in all the best ways and I am not mad about it. As much as he is a dirty talking alpha he is also a complete sweetheart and would move the world to make Frankie happy.

    The wait for the conclusion to their story is going to be torture! I need to see these two get their HEA. One summer together can't be all there is for them no matter how hot that summer was.

    This was easily one of my top reads this year and by far the best book from this series. Olly is a must read! 5+ stars.

    This is book 5 in the series, but you don’t have to read the books on the other couples if you don’t want to. I recommend it though so you can have the complete backstory in regard to Frankie and her journey.

    Holly takes you somewhere you never thought you’d go with Olly and Frankie and by that, I mean the dangerously depraved and sinfully delicious mouth that is Olly. I was not prepared for the levels of steam that this man was going to bring to the table. He will have you breathless and panting with only a couple of well-placed words. Bring a change of panties ladies because you are in for a ride.

    This book is beyond an emotional rollercoaster of emotions. Holly takes you to epic breathtaking highs and then rips your heart out lows. Frankie and Olly had a journey unlike any of the others in this series. Their relationship not only affected them but those around them, which left a devastating layer of sadness encompassing them almost the whole time. It’s only during moments where they are utterly alone do you feel the weight being lifted from them and they are just allowed to be. Their journey cuts deep and it cuts true leaving you a little bit broken at the end.

    Young love and passion will consume you as Olly and Frankie navigate a forbidden romance that they cannot resist.

    She’s off limits. After being assaulted by one of her brother’s friends, everyone thinks she needs protecting. Olly has become one of her closest friends and she has caught feelings. She knows her brother would never allow it, but the heart wants what it wants.

    He’s supposed to protect Frankie, not fall in love with her. It was inevitable though as he watched her become stronger and put the past behind her. He’s wanted her for what feels like forever.

    When they both finally give in to their attraction, they promise it’s only for the summer. It’ll be there secret and when he leaves for school, it’s back to being just friends.

    Oh the angst! This couple will tear you up. I felt their desire and their love. Torn apart because of a promise and fierce loyalty to a friend that has become family. Olly will have to choose. Will it be friendship or a love he’s can’t live without?

    I need book two nowwww! The author nailed their connection and the turmoil this couple faces. I’m totally invested and I cannot wait for the conclusion.
  • Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2022
    When you have been looking forward to this couple since you first witnessed how protective Olly was, you know the book won’t disappoint. Yet, I was NOT ready for this one. Olly has been in love with Frankie for year and she has the same feelings, except they know they can’t be together. After everything that Frankie has been through, Beck has been even more protective of her and who she is with. Olly knows that Beck would never approve of them together, but we all know how things when we fight chemistry…. Someone gets burned.

    Frankie is just one of the most amazing characters. For everything she has been through, she started finding herself with the help of Josie and Allie. Even as those two found their happiness, they made sure that Frankie was always safe. Olly, this boy, he just wanted his girl, but knew that no matter how much it would be. His parents basically used him and he knew playing baseball was his out. This summer fling was something that they both wanted so badly, but you could tell neither wanted to let it end. It was their forever, even when forever wasn’t an option.

    Oh my gosh, I thought I was ready for this book. There is no way to be ready and even less for the second book of this duet. I just want to know how this one ends because these two deserve their happy ending!

    I’ve been anxiously awaiting Frankie & Lily’s story and this first chapter of their relationship was just as sweet and heartbreaking as I expected it to be.
    The sweetness of your first love tangled with bad timing, distance and all the other things in life that get in the way.
    Holly Renee puts you through the ringer again in the best way. I’m counting the days until the final book on February 21,2022

    I've been looking forward to Frankie and Ollie (even though this isn't my favorite trope). As side characters their chemistry was apparent and it is on fire in this read. My only complaint is I need the next book now!

    I have been waiting for Olly and Frankie’s story from the moment we met the two in beck and Josies books.

    We follow Olly and Frankie during the summer after the guys graduate before frankies senior year of high school. I’m at abit of a loss for words I spent time going from loving these two to wanting to scream and that ending what the cheese puffs!!!!

    I can’t wait for the next part because I need to know how this ends!!!!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 29, 2022
    This as everything you wanted from Frankie and Ollie's story. These Two are so right for each other and the protective and love is visible to many around them. But loyality, friendship and the past are getting on the way. This was such a bitter sweet storyline. With drama, sweetness, pain and desire. A fantastic read.
