Karla Sorensen introduces readers to a greatly anticipated new generation in her Washington Wolves universe with The Lie for a wonderful start!

Dominic Walker was a troubled bad boy with just as much attitude as talent struggling with secrets and pain that he held close. Faith Pierson brightened everyone's life that she came in contact with, never taking advantage of the privileges that came with being the team owner's daughter even as she hid her own pain and vulnerability.

When Faith was tasked with taking Dominic in hand the attraction that sparked between them was unsettling. Angst followed this couple like a cloud and the genuine caring they developed for each other despite their unknown connections was a nice twist and touching. As this pair spent more time with each other the unexpected connections that they uncovered gave this work a special feel. Faith and Dominic seemed to have been waiting all their lives for the moment they would meet and fulfill their destined love. Breaking through walls they each built in self-preservation and embracing their potential as a couple kept this story moving in a quick and engaging manner. The casual updates and cameos Ms. Sorensen snuck in about former characters was a bonus to followers of the Washington Wolves books but in no way were they a deterrent for new readers of this author.

Sorensen brings a well-written emotional story in The Lie showing that the Washington Wolves universe is far from depleted in stories waiting to be told. Introspection and flaws are not shied away from with this author but rather make her characters compelling. This was a read that cared and continued to bring the sense of community among this writer's characters that is part of her appeal and felt natural. While the next generation of Karla Sorensen's Washington Wolves books has a lot to live up to, The Lie was a great start!

*While reading the previous books in the Washington Wolves universe is not necessary, for an enhanced reading experience it is recommended.
