Behind His Eyes: Truth by Aleatha Romig (Review)




BEHIND HIS EYES TRUTH is the second of CONSEQUENCES SERIES three reading companions, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig. It is recommended to be read after completing all of the CONSEQUENCES SERIES: Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. It is not a standalone book and should not be read as such.

This reading companion explores the thoughts and motivations of Anthony Rawlings and his struggle to accept the truth behind the consequences. It is not intended as a total rewrite of TRUTH, but meant to enhance the reader’s understanding. BEHIND HIS EYES TRUTH contains significant scenes from the novel TRUTH, as experienced from Anthony’s point of view. It also contains never before read, behind the scenes information, a glossary of the characters, and a timeline which grows from Consequences to include the array of new characters and revelations found in the pages of Truth.

BEHIND HIS EYES TRUTH is the continued journey inside the mind of the man who supplied and survived the consequences. This companion allows readers the opportunity to witness first hand as Anthony’s world changes forever. His rules and control begin to slip away, threatened by the most unlikely foes—something completely unfamiliar.

Can something as pure as love and forgiveness wreak havoc on his well-planned existence?

BEHIND HIS EYES TRUTH, because there is more to learn about a man who:
Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule—he forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul.
—Aleatha Romig, CONVICTED


Continue the long and painful acquisition, as the TRUTH becomes evident, from Behind His Eyes!  


REVIEW:

Behind His Eyes: Truth

The truth will set you free. Unfortunately, sometimes it drops you into a free fall. Just as Claire is settling into her new and unexpected freedom and reestablishing her life, cracks start to show in Tony’s well-ordered life. Tony has been in control of his life and destiny for a long time, all the while he has controlled the destinies of many others. Tony is the chess master in this game, but Tony forgot the most important thing about chess, it’s the Queen who decides the fate of the game.

Tony never intended to let Claire go. When she disappears, he panics. He has known practically every move she made from the time of her parents’ deaths, and not knowing starts to bring some realizations about his true feelings for Claire. Tony knows in order to be a part of Claire’s life, he’s going to have to make some concessions. Now, this doesn’t mean he isn’t above manipulating a few things to make that happen. The most important thing for Tony is controlling his temper. He isn’t used to people challenging him, but with Claire, the challenge is one of the things he most admires about her.

Claire becoming amiable and doing as she was told made Tony proud, but it was always her spirit that he loved. Yes, loved. Tony finally realizes that what he felt for Claire really was love. With that realization comes the determination to prove it to her. But revenge isn’t done with Tony and Claire just yet. As we know from Truth, when the true mastermind is revealed, she doesn’t miss the opportunity to punish the children and the children’s children for the sins of their ancestors. The problem that has always come up in the plans for retribution is Claire’s unwillingness to lie down in defeat.

Claire rises to the occasion to protect those she loves. She knows there is only so much she can protect Tony from, but she’ll do what is required to protect their child. When Tony realizes the depth of betrayal in his life, he once again finds Claire. Claire has already forgiven Tony; she long ago realized there was no rationalization for why she loves Tony, and at this point she is beyond caring about the why. As Tony faces the truth of his actions, he doesn’t understand how Claire can truly love and forgive him for the things he’s done to her.

Once again the glimpse into Tony’s mind is enlightening. As hard as it was to read his POV of Consequences, BHE: Truth shows more of his vulnerability. It’s almost sad to see an almost fifty year old man discover what love is for the first time. Love in his world has always been conditional. Now the question is can Tony forgive himself for the things he’s done and fight to regain his life, while keeping the relationships he didn’t know he wanted from falling victim to his past.

EXCERPT:


Nixon
I checked the time on my cell and leaned against the wall. The desert heat was not in any way helping my already-tense mood and irritated disposition. A guy walked by, flicking his cigarette into the dirt. Note to self: you know you're tense as hell when you’re halfway tempted to grab said cigarette and suck the nicotine dry from the remains.
And I didn’t even smoke.
Shhhit.
My head hurt, my muscles were sore, and Trace was pissed. I closed my eyes and leaned back against the building.
“Hey there.” A flirty voice interrupted my self-inflicted torture session. I opened one eye, then two. A blond-haired girl in six-inch heels and something I can only assume at one point use to be a shirt, hanging over her shoulder, walked into my personal space. Her shirt-dress thing barely met her thighs.
“Yes?” I kept my sunglasses on. If I took them off and glared, she’d probably run screaming down the street, and I wasn’t into scaring females… at least not in that way. I knew I looked downright pissed as hell.
“Just thought you looked lonely.” She lifted her shoulder and offered a teasing smile. Did that really work on other guys?
“You thought wrong,” I said simply. “I’m holding the wall up — like Samson.”
“Samson?” She looked around as if waiting for another man to appear.
“From the Bible,” I clarified.
“The what?”
“Gotta love Vegas,” I muttered under my breath. “Look, I don’t want any.”
“Any what?” She ran a manicured nail down my chest, biting down on her lip at the same time. I could only imagine her point was to get me to stare at her lips, but all I felt was irritation. Damn Chase and Mil. I just wanted to go to bed, but I needed to talk with him before tomorrow.
“Sex.” My voice clipped. “I. Don’t. Want. Any.”
“But—” She twirled a piece of blond- hair in her fingers.
“I’m gay.”
“Right.” She snorted.
“I’m into men.”
“Oh really?” She closed the distance between us. Just as I was ready to seriously put my hands on her and push, I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder.
“Hey there, hot stuff.” Tex said in a low voice as his hand grabbed my ass, cupping it with a little too much enthusiasm. “You ready?”
I ground my teeth together and forced a smile. “Yup.”
“Oh…” The girl stepped back. “Um, sorry, you guys, uh, enjoy your night.” She pushed past Tex so fast I was afraid she was going to teeter off her heels and get hit by a taxi.
“Tex.” I seethed.
“Hmm?” He took off his sunglasses and tilted his head as the girl hurried away.
“You can take your hand off my ass now.”
“Why? Afraid you like it too much?”
I pushed against him.
“Just embrace your feelings!” He shouted, earning the attention of a family walking by with their two little kids.
I grabbed him by the front of his shirt and threw him few feet away from me, trying my damnedest not to smile.
“Admit it. You keep me around for comic relief.” Tex nodded with a smirk.
“I admit nothing.” I lost the war against smiling and started laughing. “But I do keep your ass away from Campisi, so remember that next time you start yelling about me being your lover.”
“True.” Tex grinned. “Oh, and P.S., don’t knock it till you try it.”
“P.S.,” I repeated in the same voice. “Still pissed at you for screwing over my sister.”
“Yeah well.” Tex sobered. “It’s for the best.”
“Breaking her heart and bringing in whores is what’s best for her?”
Tex lifted his hands into the air. “Look, I didn’t say my methods were sound or that they were intelligent, just let us deal with it, okay? We’re big kids.”
“Kids.” I snorted. “That about sums it up.”
A town car pulled up next to the curb. Chase got out and then held out his hand to Mil. My eyes narrowed; she looked different. Happier.
Her mom had just died, and she'd survived a bombing.
And she was smiling like the Taliban had just declared world peace.
Chase gripped her so tight that I saw the white of his knuckles.
I tilted my head, still watching them when Tex said. “Dude, you get laid?”
“Tex,” I snapped. “Go get something for their luggage.”
“But—”
“Go.”
Tex flipped me off, but ended up jogging over to the main entrance while I inspected both Mil and Chase. “I’m not saying this to be an ass—”
“Here we go.” Mil crossed her arms.
Chase waited.
I licked my lips and tried to appear indifferent. “But if you guys start screwing each other now, I may have to shoot one or both of you. It’s not the time to play house, got it?”
“Play house,” Chase repeated in a deadpan voice as he dipped his free hand into his back pocket, most likely clenching a pair of brass knuckles.
“I know it’s your honeymoon,” I continued. “But this [P1] little scenario you’ve got going on with the whole hot and cold is going to have to wait until everyone’s safe. So Chase, keep it in your pants for once in your life, and Mil, stop trying to seduce the poor kid, alright? It’s like dangling a damn fry in front of a seagull.”
“Who’s a fry?” Tex asked, pulling the luggage cart with him.
“Mil.”
“Are we eating dinner or something? Because I have to admit,” Tex leaned against the cart, “I’m freaking starving.” He eyed Chase and Mil. “Then again, I’m sure you both are too. All those extracurricular really take it out of ya.”
Chase took off his sunglasses, his face twisting in irritation and annoyance, no smile. Nothing. He was pissed.
“Chase,” I said slowly. “You know I’m right. You’re the best I have. I need your focus to be on The Family. Your family. Then you can screw all you want, okay?”
Mil looked like she wanted to punch me in the face. Chase took a step forward, but she stopped him.
“Good talk.” I exhaled. “Chase, I’ll see you down in the bar in a half-hour, okay? We have business to discuss. Mil, you can go find the girls. They’re having dinner out by the pool.”
Nobody moved.
After a few seconds of tense silence where I was pretty sure Chase was trying to convince himself not to strangle me to death, Tex cleared his throat and pointed to the luggage. “You guys need help, then?”
“Yeah,” Chase croaked. “Thanks.”
We loaded them up and sent them on their way.
“Tell me,” Tex asked once we were walking back toward the bar. “Is your only goal to see how far you can push Chase before he kills you in your sleep?”

COVER REVEAL HOSTED BY: BOOK PLUG PROMOTIONS



LET ME LOVE by Michelle Lynn (Review)

SYNOPSIS:

A chance encounter. An undeniable connection. An unimaginable twist of fate. 

Kailey’s life is crumbling. Her best friend and sister, Jen, is dying, leaving her young family devastated. With little hope of saving her, Kailey is forced to face a reality she never expected.

Trey’s life is fun and carefree. He loves the girls, his drums, and his friends. That’s not to say he isn’t continuously plagued by a difficult decision made years ago—one that changed the course of his life. 

Despite the connection they make when their paths unexpectedly cross, Kailey knows her life has no room for anyone else right now. But regardless of how many times she pushes him away, Trey only fights harder to make a place for him in her life and in her heart.

Trey thought he knew heartbreak, but he had no idea until life gave him a second chance, only to snatch it away just as fast. This time he’s determined to keep his place in the life of the ones he loves. 

Is there such a thing as fate? If so, can Kailey and Trey hold on to one another long enough to discover there’s no such thing as a chance encounter?



REVIEW: 


Fate played a role when Trey's met Kailey.  The moment he looked into her eyes, he knew there was something different about her.  Who would have thought Trey would meet the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with on a plane.  Trey felt an immediate connection to Kailey.  What are the odds that the two of them attend the same college and live in the same town.  After spending a few days with Kailey, Trey wants more.  The problem is Kailey says she doesn't want more. 

Never in a million years did Kailey think she would be faced with her current circumstances.  Her sister is dying, and Kailey promises to help raise her three young children once she passes away. Kailey has been by her sister's side while she's battling her illness, so Kailey knows how tough it can be to help raise three little ones and keep a household in order.  Kailey doesn't have time for a personal life, not to mention a relationship.  She doesn't want to get involved with anyone. She doesn't want to allow anyone to see the life she leads.  Kailey feels as though Trey deserves better.  He deserves more than what she can offer.  

Trey is persistent and won't take "NO" for an answer.  After finally breaking down the walls Kailey has built around her, he convinces her that there's no other place he would rather be, than be with her.  After breaking down her wall, chip by chip, Kailey finally welcomes Trey into her life.  Things are going great, until Kailey's life changes once again in a blink of an eye. 

What do you do when the one you love, pushes you away?  What do you when the one you love thinks they know what is best for YOU?  Do you allow them to push you away?  Do you allow yourself to move on?  Do you try and convince them that what the two of you have is worth fighting for?  Do you fight for what you have?  How far would you go to get the love of your life back?

Let Me Love is the 3rd book in The Invisibles Series.  I have to say that with each book release, I love this series just a little bit more.  I fell in love with Brady in Don't Let Go, Grant in Let Me In, and now Trey in Let Me Love.  It was tough seeing Trey go through his heartache.  Trey was such a great character that I was routing for him from the beginning. Yes, in the past books Trey may have been a little manwhore.   But once Trey met someone worth pursuing, he turned his whore card in.  Trey gave it his all.  

I loved the twists in the book.  One that I will not divulge, you will have to read it to find out what I am talking about.

This review was prepared by Heather.

My name is Autumn Winters.

The truth is, that's the biggest lie I've ever told.

But he's hiding, too.

What happens when I slowly realize that who I truly am is more similar to who I'm pretending to be? I want to be brave enough to tell the world, but the fear is crippling.
Fear of myself. Fear of the unknown. Fear of what others will think.
But life is too short to be afraid.

And I'm so damn tired of hiding.

Excerpt:

“Shit,” I mumble to myself when I spy the pink vibrator, glaring proof of my non-existent sex life now on public display. “God damn it,” I utter again, shaking my head and scrambling to grab it, when I notice a pair of beautiful, masculine hands scooping up my belongings. Completely mortified, my cheeks flush a deep red, and I’m silently praying he hasn’t spotted my favorite sex toy. My eyes make their way from the ground, climbing past the hands and up the length of strong, muscular arms to an absolutely gorgeous face, and I take a hard swallow. A chiseled jaw with a hint of stubble, irises the color of aged brandy, a sharp, sculptured nose, and perfectly tousled hair that matches his hypnotic eyes. I don’t realize that I’m staring until his lips quirk up into a grin. Could I be any more obvious? He tosses the items back in my purse and nods toward the vibrator. “I’ll let you handle that one,” he offers, his voice a rich timbre to my ears. “Although,” he whispers, leaning in close, “I’m sure I could put it to good use.” My mouth drops open in surprise, just as he reaches his thumb out to skim my bottom lip. “I’m pretty sure I could put this sexy mouth to good use, too.”

AUTHOR BIO:

I am a mommy of two, wife to an amazing man, and full time employee. Life is crazy and busy!  I started writing again for a group of women I met last year. They brought back the passion for writing I haven’t seen since high school. Starting this process was tedious and nerve-wracking, but my amazing ladies and my fabulous husband have inspired me to take my love for writing to the next step.



TEASER:

I wanted her here with me.  Please, come back to me, Sabrina.

Bre and I were connected.  Our souls were one.  We were both fucked up and broken, but together we made each other whole again. 

I couldn’t stay away, I sat on the side of the bed, took her hand mine, and started stroking my thumb over her knuckles again.  I wish I could hold her in my arms, pull her into me, and place a deep kiss on her tender lips.  I wanted to feel her heart beat on my chest as I held her close to me, snuggled safe in our bed.

The door swung open, bringing me out of my thoughts.  Jon walked in carrying food and a change of clothes.  He set a stack of paperwork down on the windowsill and turned toward me. 

“Caston, you need to go home, get some rest.  You can’t live by her side.  The doctors aren’t sure when, or if, she will wake up.”

My head snapped up, and I stared him down.  “Are you fucking kidding me right now?  Can you honestly tell me that if this was Sara you’d leave her alone like this?  Do you know she moved today?”

His eyes widened, and he moved closer to her bed.  “I know, buddy, but maybe you just thought she did.  I mean they said that muscles twitch and shit when people are in comas.”
