He ruined me. Now, it’s my turn…
Atticus Rainier is an intoxicating monster.
The boy who was off limits was once my everything.
Then, the truth came out, and he broke me.
He called me a beautiful liar and walked away without a glance back.
But that naïve fourteen-year-old girl is gone.
The last four years have given me time to see what he really is.
A beautiful storm.
And I won’t be sucked into the vicious vortex that is Atticus again.
Instead, I’ll drown him in his own malice.
And once I shatter his soul, I’ll discard him…
The same way he did to me.
Beautiful Storm is the first book of the duet The Ruin of Liars following Atticus and Lili. This book is a mature new dark, college bully, new adult read, featuring a spicy, slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with a hint of mystery, a ton of heat, and plenty of angst to go around. This book is not a standalone, and continues in book two, Beautiful Chaos.

Renee’s Five Star Review 
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports
This is the first book in the Westlake Royals but the first book in the duet The Ruin of Liars. This is a dark bully romance. You will want to heed the warnings in the beginning of the book. It will contain triggers for some readers.
These two use to be the best of friends. However a believed betrayal tears them apart. Atticus lost his best friend that day but now he has a good life for himself. He is going to a great college has a nice car, money, and his own parking spot. He really could care less if he every sees Lili ever again. She may have been the first girl he ever loved but she kept a huge secret from him and it caused a domino affect of betrayal and loss for him. He never ever wants to see her again. However Lili has other plans. She is now going to the same school as him and as fate would have it they are in the same music program. However she is pretending that he doesn’t exist and she is better off without him. Pretending her life hasn’t been as horrible as it really was since they last saw each other. She is determined to make it on her own terms. Atticus may have a lot of money now but she doesn’t need that in her life just like she doesn’t need Atticus. This is about all I can say about this story or I am going to give something away . I loved this book. There is a lot going on but I loved every second of it. I can not wait to have the next book in my hands and find out what happens.
