THE TRUTH ABOUT HIM is Book 2 in the Everything I Left
Unsaid series by M. O'Keefe, who is actually Molly
O'Keefe. O'Keefe always does a terrific job of writing
incredibly angsty books that capture me utterly and wring me
out into a crying-yet-happy ball on the floor. I adore her
writing! This
series under her "M" brand is erotic. And hot diggity, it
delivers! Book 1, EVERYTHING I LEFT UNSAID, left us on a
major cliffhanger. I was utterly salivating to get my hands
on this Book 2 to find out what happens to our intrepid
Annie.
Annie has fled an abusive husband, running cross
country until she hunkers down in a rundown trailer park
with badly dyed hair and only a few bucks to her name. She
rents a dilapidated trailer and waits to see if she's been
successful in her escape. She discovers an abandoned cell
phone in her trailer, and a sexy voice on the other end of
the phone (yay, Dylan!) slowly coaxes her over time into
enjoying her newly found freedom. Dylan soon entices Annie
into acting out her sexual fantasies, and it's so liberating
to follow as Annie feels more alive when she pushes herself
beyond the limits her mother and husband hemmed her
into.
Dylan has his own horrific past that has locked him
into isolation, but soon he finds that Annie's lust for life
is tempting him into opening up as well. The story is told
from alternating his and her points of view. In case you
haven't read EVERYTHING I LEFT UNSAID yet, go buy it right now. And you're
welcome because I
know you'll thank me later. I'm not going to give away what
happens at the end of Book 1 to create such a knuckle-biting
ending. But THE TRUTH ABOUT HIM begins with a bang, with the tension
cranked up so high I couldn't go to sleep until I read
enough to see what happened.
Book 2 is less erotica and more romance than Book 1. The
feel is definitely different, with more of the focus on
emotions, family ties, and love. THE TRUTH ABOUT HIM brings
the dark and gritty eroticism from Book 1 into a sweeter,
flowering love while maintaining the sensuality and angst of
the series. I really hope that O'Keefe continues this
series because I see several characters that I'd like to
learn more about, and see them get their own oh-so-sexy
happily ever after.
For fans of Christina Lauren and Jodi Ellen Malpas comes the
next novel in M. O’Keefe’s breathtakingly sexy series about
a woman called into a journey of the heart, body, and soul.
We played our roles, told each other lies.
But now Dylan is no longer just a mysterious deep voice on
the other end of the line. We’re face-to-face and our
relationship is very, very real.
We still have secrets—but so much is crystal clear:
The thrilling danger.
The raw, naked desire.
The need to keep feeling the way he makes me feel. Forever.
Dylan is putting up walls, trying to keep me safe, but he
can’t shut me out. He has seen my darkness and rescued me.
Now it’s my turn, if only he will let me.
