Harris serves up a treat that will capture and enchant
audiences everywhere—a big, bold, and irresistible novel
about football, family, and secrets. Brady Bledsoe and his mother, Carmyn, have a strong
relationship. A single mother, faithful churchgoer, and the
owner of several successful Atlanta beauty salons, Carmyn
has devoted herself to her son and his dream of becoming a
professional football player. Brady has always followed her
lead, including becoming a member of the church’s "Celibacy
Circle." Now in his senior year at college, the smart, and
very handsome, Brady is a lead contender for the Heisman
Trophy and a spot in the NFL. As sports agents hover around Brady, Barrett, a beautiful
and charming cheerleader, sets her mind on tempting the
celibate Brady and getting a piece of his multimillion-
dollar future—but is that all she wants from him, and is
she acting alone? Carmyn is determined to protect her son. She’s also
determined to protect the secret she’s kept from Brady his
whole life. As things heat up on campus and Carmyn and
Brady’s idyllic relationship starts to crumble, mother and
son begin to wonder about the other—are you just too good
to be true? A sweeping novel about mothers and sons, football and
beauty shops, secrets and lies, JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
has all the ingredients that have made E. Lynn Harris a
bestselling author: family, friendship, faith, and love.
