ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 13, 2018

Truth: Penn Walker entered my life like a summer storm—dark, ominous, and filled with thunder.

After witnessing my husband’s murder, I didn’t have much of a heart left to offer a man.

But Penn took it all.
Every jagged shard.
Every broken bit.
Even the dirty and twisted pieces that I wish never existed.

Lie: I didn’t need him to save me.
Lie: I knew exactly who he was.
Lie: Losing him wouldn’t destroy me.

But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.

REVIEW: THE TRUTH ABOUT US is the second instalment in Aly Martinez’ contemporary, adult, THE TRUTH DUET romance series focusing twenty-nine year old Cora Guerros and thirty-seven year old Penn Walker. THE TRUTH ABOUT US should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one-THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES.

Told from three first person perspectives (Cora, Penn and Drew) THE TRUTH ABOUT US continues to follow in the aftermath of the events of book one wherein, Cora’s life is once again, destroyed by the Guerros family. On the run, hoping to stay one step ahead of the people hunting her down, Cora must face the reality of loss until Penn’s secrets and lies force a confrontation between everyone concerned.

Like book one, The Truth About Us focuses on secrets, lies, perception and betrayal. Not is all it seems; identities hidden, pasts revealed, connections to the present heart breaking and painful. Several members of the Guerros family are missing or dead; those left alive are hunting Cora and the people she loves.

Penn Walker, and his ‘brother’ Drew continue in their pursuit of vengeance for sins of the past, sins that continue to eat away at their minds and hearts.

THE TRUTH ABOUT US is a startling and engaging story line; a raw and gritty tale with mesmorizing characters, and a spicy romance. Aly Martinez’ ability to captivate the reader is compelling and inspiring on so many levels.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 23 2018

Truth: From over a thousand miles away, I watched on the screen of my phone as two men murdered my wife. And I was helpless to save her.

Consumed by hate and rage, I spent four years running from my memories.

Until a shattered woman gave me a reason to stop.

Cora lived in a nightmare, but through sheer force of will, she’d turned it into something beautiful. She had a smile that could pierce the darkest soul. And with one glance, she shredded mine.

Lie: I was only there for a fresh start.
Lie: I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
Lie: There was nothing I could do to save her, either.

But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.

REVIEW: THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES is the first instalment in Aly Martinez’s contemporary, adult THE TRUTH DUET focusing on twenty-nine year old Cora Guerros and thirty-seven year old Penn Walker.

Told from dual first person perspectives ( Cora and Penn) THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES is a tale of truths and lies; a story of love but not romance; a saga about two strangers whose path to the present are as diverse as night and day but paths that have crossed and connected through betrayal and vengeance.

Cora Guerros is a strong, likeable and determined heroine who fourteen years earlier found herself forced into a world she knew nothing about. Hoping to make something better for those who have followed in her wake, Cora is mother, father, counsellor and protector to save those who want to be saved, and protect those who would otherwise find themselves missing or dead.

Four years earlier, Penn Walker suffered an unbearable loss; a witness to the traumatic unfolding as a life was forfeited before his eyes. Broken and battered, Penn, along with his ‘brother’ Drew embark on a dangerous journey into the seedy underside of a lifestyle very few choose, and even fewer enjoy.

THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES is a dark, emotional, gritty and hypnotizing story; an all-consuming look at the brutal reality of life for those who find themselves struggling to survive in a world blackened by the very poison from which they had ran. A story of revenge, THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES is an emotional, revealing and captivating commentary of love and loss; betrayal and revenge.
