RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Truth Be Told by Marie James

 


 Release Date: February 23



Lies ruin lives.

Ignacio Torres, the translator for Blackbridge Security, has told his fair share and then some.

He lied more than once to Tinley Holland when they were teens.

Told her he didn’t love her.

Told her he could live without her.

Told her what they shared didn’t mean a thing.

He’s lived with those lies, lived with the loss of her for over a decade.

What he didn’t expect was going home to help with a family matter only to discover Tinley has told the biggest lie of all.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟

Enjoyable read - loved Ignacio!

”I’m instantly hit with memories, with emotions, with want and need and everything in between.”

When they were just seventeen, Ignacio Torres made a decision that broke both his and his girlfriend’s heart. She moved away with her family and he joined the army. Thirteen years later, he is back in their home town for a visit and sees Tinley Holland again. He is shocked to see her, as he thought that what he did would have lead her on to a better life out of their hellhole of a town. Not only is she living here, but she has a son – a boy who looks just like him.

”His lip are on mine, tongue demanding entrance to my mouth. He’s not asking or begging, he’s taking.”

My heart broke for Ignacio’s teenage decision but it said everything about him and his love for Tinley. Overall, I enjoyed this story as he forms a hard-won bond with his 12YO son. Alex is troubled but has a good heart. We can tell that he didn’t lack for love as he was growing up but times are tough for him and his mother. I loved Ignacio – he really won me over with his actions and I really thought that Tinley gave him a hell of a hard time. In all honesty, she got on my nerves because of the grudge she was determined to hold against him. She seemed unwilling to see him for the man he was now or even back when they were young, and how he much he clearly loved her back then. She totally judged him by the one single shocking action that broke them. So, yeah, I struggled to connect with her, as she was dogged in her determination to see the bad in him. They clearly had chemistry between them and some steamy moments, but Tinley was so stuck in her head. I was rooting for Ig all the way through because he was clearly a decent, protective and loving guy. I loved the Blackbridge guys and the banter, not to mention Puff Daddy the foul-mouthed parrot! LOL. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Meet Marie James


Let's see...where to begin...
​
I'm inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.
​
I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)
​
We have two boys we're doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman.
​
I have a master's degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there's usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.
​
If I'm not writing; I'm reading.
​
My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I'm reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it's gotten me exactly where I need to be!)
​
I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.
