The Truth Between Us (Bentwood #2) by Tammy L. Gray -- Review

About the Book

Nine years to win her. Three years to love her. And one decision that destroyed it all. 

April Duncan was raised with three clear truths: the family name is absolute, ambition and success rule over every emotion, and love always comes with strings attached. Image was everything in her carefully crafted world... until the mirror cracked. 

Sean Taylor was April's best friend, the one man who taught her it was okay to let her guard down and to rely on someone. She trusted him. She loved him. Which made his deception the darkest kind of cruelty. 

Now, nearly a year later, she’s ready to leave her failed engagement in the past and get back her life and her estranged family, even if it means dating a man solely for his connections. She’ll never again choose love over loyalty. 

Sean has spent his entire life breaking barriers, facing challenges, and never giving up. Until one impossible choice destroyed his future and left him no option but to flee from the woman who annihilated his heart. 

Now he’s back in Bentwood and determined to make her hear the truth and rebuild the trust he shattered. But April has become a mere shell of the woman who claimed his heart long ago. 

Winning her back is more than just seizing a victory, because if he fails… the girl he’s loved for a lifetime will disappear forever. 

The Truth Between Us is the second book in the Bentwood series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but it is recommended that you begin with book one to get the full experience among this tight group of family and friends.

Review

From page one, Tammy L. Gray’s The Truth Between Us is a rollercoaster of emotions with characters going through an abundance of complex emotions, including passion, anger, hurt, and redemption.  This story is beautifully written, with intense and invigorating characters and their stories that will cause readers to fall in love with them.  Gray does an excellent job of layering her characters and their stories in such a way that readers will keep coming back for more, not wanting to put the book down until all their questions and intrigues about the characters are answered.  Gray is one of those authors that grabs readers by their heartstrings, stringing them along on an emotional ride that will make them think twice about the people in their own lives and those relationships.
