All The Truths is the second part of a duet and is NOT standalone.more
Rina Kent’s All the Truths, book two in her Lies & Truths Duet, ties up all the questions left at the conclusion of book one, All the Lies, but not without additional doubts, suspense and explosive revelations!
This author took readers on a journey that kept her audience in a constant state of disbelief and on tenterhooks as she orchestrated a plot where clarity emerged from chaos. Both Asher and Reina circled around each other with an inescapable attraction that warred with conflicting facts for a fascinating steamy dynamic. Both the hero and heroine of this work were misunderstood and fought to maintain their version of truths making them both suspect and honorable depending on the angle they were presented in. When Asher and Reina were able to see past their own perspective and acknowledge each other’s truths their conclusions led them to a universal truth that both freed them to be with each other even as it put them at risk. They were a hard couple to form a definitive opinion of until the very end and at times it was hard to clearly follow their truth.
This story was unmistakably dark yet there were undertones of light that ultimately made the lead’s redeemable. With grit and sharp reactions there was an honesty in Ms. Kent’s portrayals despite the secrets they harbored and nurtured for revenge. This work was intense and complicated with very little let up. Rina Kent takes her readers on a wild and quick read that will keep everyone guessing until the exciting conclusion of her duet In All the Truths!

*While part of a series this book can be read as a stand alone.*
OMG, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! AHH, I WOULD SO READ THIS AGAIN!!
I enjoyed every page, it’s so fucking addicting, I couldn’t put it down.
The amount of plot twists in this book is too many for me to count. There’d be a twist every seven chapters or so and it’d just get better and better and better and better. Generally, I couldn’t put it down, I was reading it whenever I had a spare moment.
I definitely preferred ‘All The Truths’ over ‘All The Lies’. ‘All The Truths’ is a much more interesting book and easier to get into than ‘All The Lies’. However, I’d recommend reading them both – well I mean you kinda have to for them to make sense.
I’m so happy!! As I stated in my review for ATL, I was disappointed by the lack of character connection. WELL OH MY GOSH, Rina didn’t let me down at all!! The connection between Reina and Asher in ATT was off the FUCKING CHARTS!!
But, AHH REINA AND ASHER…fucking loved it!! It was so good!!
You all need to read this duet now.
If you don’t I’ll make it illegal not to.
Stars ~ 5
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
In this conclusion of the duet we learn so much and find out so much but I won’t tell you what because like I said in my review for All The Lies you’ll want to enjoy this epic journey and amazing conclusion and no one really wants it spoiled for them. You’ll be taken on a crazy ride of finding out what all is going on with all these different characters and you’ll be dying to know just how it all will play out. In the last book we were left off with not knowing what to think, who to trust, and why do we love the bad boys so much? Reina is still struggling with her feelings for and towards Asher because they are so conflicting and Asher’s personality towards her changes daily. We know we want happy endings but to get there we must find out and travel these mysterious with these characters and boy is it an insane ride. This author continues to blow me away with each book she comes out with and I absolutely being sucked into her head with these stories.
5 stars!! What a creative masterpiece this duet is! I didn’t think I could love Rina Kent anymore but it’s like she never ceases to amaze me.
This is book two in the “Lies & Truths Duet”. No this can not be read as a stand alone.
I refuse to summarize this book. You can read it. I will not ruin it for you.
Asher and Reina are like gas and fire. Yes I know there is so much tension you could cut it with a knife. But when they get to going you know those flames are going up FAST, and they are taking everything down in their path.
I was amazed with how many twists there were and how all my questions were answered. I didn’t see a lot of this coming but shit I ate this up like it was going out of style.
The author plays with your head. I was at a point like-
I don’t even know which way I am going. Who do I want to be the bad guy. Wtf is happening.
Rina is amazing in her writing and play with words. She lints a picture that you most definitely want to hang on to it wall. I think my mind was rocked like, at least, 15 times. And then, of course, I couldn’t put the book down. Screw sleep. Give me more Reina and Asher!!
This book/duet is a definite MUST read!!
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
“All The Truths” simply took my breath away!!
“All The Truths” by Rina Kent is the second and concluding book to the “Lies & Truths Duet”. Compared to the first book, this book totally captivates and blows my mind away. The first book left a lot of questions unanswered and the second book doesn’t disappoint and amazingly wrapped up all the loose ends perfectly (and maybe created more potential storylines along the way). 😉
Picking up from where the story left off at the end of “All The Lies”, Reina found out why Asher is out to destroy her and through the book, she slowly picks up her lost memory. All my theories and guesses (after reading Book One) couldn’t prepared me for what Rina has in mind!! The plot just took my breath away! The twists and turns that Rina has planned for the story wraps up the entire story arc perfectly and doesn’t disappoint the fans – for info, I was so worried Asher is in love with two girls and Reina is cheating on Asher with the mysterious Cloud003…arghhh!
Truth be told, I was a little uncertain about Asher in the first book – I mean, yes, he is charming and what not but he is definitely nowhere near Aiden (omg really, don’t let me start on him *dreamy* – go read the “Royal Elite” series if you’ve not done so). That is why I am totally excited after reading the second book – Asher doesn’t failed to deliver his alpha, over-the-top, possessive and borderline psychotic personality! I especially love that tiny tidbit of a conversation he had with Aiden – I literally ROFL.
Reina is also surprisingly enigmatic as a heroine. I can totally see why Rina said she is a very special book heroine to her. Strong but not overbearing; soft yet doesn’t break easily; innocent while sexy like sin! I must say she is now one my favourite book heroines.
We were always parallel lines, but even parallel lines can collide and become one. It’s even more powerful than two lines meeting at only one point.
As conflicts and misunderstandings were resolved between Asher and Reina, their romance grows steadily throughout the book. While there are still unresolved problems, we get to see the interactions between them as they try to unfold the mysteries and overcome the challenges.
I can absolutely see a line-up of books under the “Lies & Truths” series (if Rina has the time to expand this universe) – Reina/Kyle, Sebastian/Naomi, Prescott/Lucy – well, one can hope. ^_^
As the story for Asher and Reina comes to an end, I find myself far from being satisfied. Instead I think I crave for more from Rina!! TELL ME YOU’LL GIVE US MORE FROM THIS UNIVERSE! I also definitely don’t mind an Aiden/Elsa and Asher/Reina reunion! (:

Spectacular! I finished an hour ago and still steam is coming out of my kindle!
The perfect conclusion to All The Lies. All of my questions were answered and the book was so sizzling hot I nearly burnt my fingers while holding my kindle. I loved the characters of Reina and Asher. The fact that they had an undeniable attraction to each other was just great. More than that, they have a connection that both of them tried to deny but just couldn’t and both of them always ended up coming back to each other.
Asher definitely had more than one reason to hate Reina. She had cheated on him while she was engaged to him. When they were younger they were friends and even on there way to falling in love when all the sudden she pushed him away and became cold and he never knew why, then finally he blames her for driving his little sister to committing suicide. Since Ash was the only one with his sister at the time he is the only one that knows why he thinks that Reina had anything to do with it and he isn’t saying what he knows.
Reina’s memories have not all returned, they are coming back bit by bit so she still doesn’t have any clue if she had done anything to Arianna, so she is unable to defend herself. But she knows that she can’t stay away from Asher and he can’t stay away from her. She loves the way he makes her feel. Rina Kent can write dark erotic romance so well. Ash has such feelings of guilt because he wants Reina so bad and he feels he has to hate her for his little sister. Though he has wanted and has been obsessed with Reina for a long time before his sister died.
I really like books with hot alpha males like Asher. He dominant and manly and wanted to fight any guy that hurt her or looked at her funny. I would hate that in real life but I think it is kind of cute in books! Especially when a guy gets all growly and “you’re mine” and all that. This book was quite a bit more steamy than the first book, but I liked that.
However, even with all the romantic scenes there was still quite a bit of story. There was the storyline about Asher’s sister and his reasons for returning to the US. There was the storyline about Reina getting beat up and losing her memory at the beginning of book one, and the fact that she cheated on Asher and was still getting text messages from the guy. Plus there were a few other surprises along the way. It was such a good book. I can’t wait to read Rina Kent’s next book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Holy shit did NOT see any of that coming at all. What a fantastic ending to this duet.
This second book certainly threw some curveballs that’s for sure it was fast-paced and the heat between Reina and Asher intensified.
Secrets were revealed and hidden game players were unmasked.
We get to experience Asher struggle with his emotions towards Reina and this also gave us more of an insight into his whole head-set.
Reina also gradually starts to recover her past memory’s with some surprises in store.
The final reveal here was fabulous and this easily kept my attention right until the very end.
This series definitely had plenty of darkness as well as some eventually healing though I would have loved more of an epic grovel on Asher’s part I mean he was awful towards Reina and he was sorry regarding his past treatment but that would have been so much more satisfying than his lame sorry but anticlimactic he was definitely let off too easily. This is all then wrapped up with an epilogue set five years later.
Great series that takes you on quite the ride I liked this one a whole lot and definitely recommend.

All The Truths picks up where All The Lies left off, and since I read these when both were available, after finishing book 1, I immediately dove into book 2, and I spent the whole day consumed in this world.
The chemistry between Reina and Asher was nothing short of combustible, even when they had every reason to hate each other there was a pull between them that you could feel the intensity of through the pages.
The secrets, lies, and miscommunication between Reina and Asher had them torpedoing towards one another’s destruction until things begin to unravel, and once they begin piecing the chaos together they become an unbreakable force.
No matter how many books I read by Rina Kent she never ceases to amaze me in her ability to create an all-consuming storyline full of twists and turns with possessive alpha anti-heroes that have no qualms about letting the darkness inside them surround them, and wrapping it around the woman that caught their attention, and sassy heroines that may bend a little, but they will never break.
Since I had read more of this author’s more recent work in which these characters were mentioned and had me intrigued, it was also an added bonus that I got to see some of the characters in this that I love.
When To All the Lies ended to say I was confused was an understatement! WOW Rina Kent took me on a journey and lets just say at the end everything made sense!
Reina and her sister have been on the run from the mafia who killed her mom. Her and her sister and together again and all the questions get answered. In the To All the Lies I did not know what to think of Reina was she the mean girl and just cruel. When it was revealed what she did to Asher you kind of don’t feel sorry for her. But ohh the author had a way of pulling the rug out from you!
So this book picks up where book 1 ended..Asher is still out to make Reina pay for what he thinks she did. We find out so much truth in this book. I mean when the flood gates,they really open. For the most part Asher isn’t my favorite but I’m glad we finally get his point of view. He has so much anger but it turns out that there’s two sides to every story. His sister wasn’t who they thought she was. Everyone thought she was a stage 5 clinger but in turn, she had a reason for hanging so close to Reina. She is a disturbed girl..Anyway back to Asher and Reina.. so much happens in this book. Reina is getting back memories, Asher is treating her like a slut and she is becoming who is supposed to be. She learns so much about her past and what awaits her in the future but there’s twists and turns. This book has Reina fighting for her life and for who she wants in her life. Her and Asher go on a journey in these books and it was great to see the switch from hate to love. For Asher to have respect and fight for her not against her. I will say my heart went out to Asher. He had this image of his sister and she was double crossing him without him knowing. When he found the truth, he was shattered. This book is dark but I’m glad it ended happily. This book was phenomenal and worth all 5 stars!! It has action, romance, crazy mafia, deceit and all the other makings of a great book!! I was new to this author but after these two books, I will definitely be reading more from her collection!!
All the Truths was tremendous! 5 stars
What a tremendous conclusion to Reina’s story! This review will be short since this is the second book in the Lies and Truths Duet, and you need to read All the Lies first. I was shocked and riveted to every page with all the jaw-dropping truths and revelations in this book! Reina was feisty and strong, and I adored her. Asher was his usual intense self; his possession and dominance of Reina was hot, yet it probably should have been scary! They were fire together, but can it be love? After all the truths came out, could they actually be and stay together? Read this tremendous duet and find out!
What an amazing conclusion to Asher and Reina’s story! We got all our answers and they were so satisfying.
Now let’s talk about that “heat”. Man, this book was hot. There was an undeniable connection between the leads since the first book but the author picked it up a notch here. And the constant push and pull made it even better.
In the last book we got to know why Asher hates Reina so much. To be honest he does have a valid reason for pulling that shit on Reina. But this story has so much more going on.
Rina builds up their romance even more in this book. Some fragments of Reina’s memories are coming back bit by bit. She is trying to piece it all together. While Asher is fighting against his feelings for Reina and guilt for her sister’s death. With so much bad blood between them you would think, how on earth are they ever going to end up together?
Rina kent gave them their perfect ending. Every plot line was resolved and we got all our answers. I have to say that the surprise element of the book was top notch. I was not at all able to guess anything.
Now that we got Reina and Asher’s happy end it is time to be excited about Rai’s book.
I am so happy that she is finally getting her book!!! Eagerly waiting for January!
I loved this duet
It was special .. and Rina did it again..
Another duet with empowering characters … and the Mafia direction YAS please…
Absolutely amazing edge of your seat jaw dropping conclusion to this story! I loved every single second, every single line, every single page. I am an instant fan.. I am obsessed with Asher. He is so possessive. I love the alpha in him. I love that he loves her so much but also hates her too. And Reina was so strong. She didnt cower, didnt back down, she stuck to her guns and just this story was everything and then some. I loved it so so much!!!!!! I cannot wait to read more by this author! * I had a feeling Cloud003 was that person and I was happy about it. And I was shocked about all that happened with Ari. EDGE OF YOUR SEAT I TELL YOU* I read this book AND listened to the audio and they were BOTH 5 stars!
I can’t believe it’s done.
I was taken on an adventure, that’s for sure. Up down, back and forth.
I devoured this as fast and as hard as my anxiety riddled brain possibly could.
This and by extension All The Lies, was so darn addictive. The writing is incredibly quick paced and intense.
I want more. Of Asher and Reina. I really am not quite ready to let them go.
I’m not going to give anything away for reasons. But guys..you need to read this duet.
It. Was. Brilliant.
Rina Kent is on my autoread list.
**An ARC was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.**
This book was a great big wth just happened (in the best possible way)! I honestly did NOT see some of the surprises coming! I really fell in love with Reina and Asher in this book as their true personalities came out and the truths were revealed! Not usually something I would read but I’m glad I did. Great story!
Title: All the Truths
Series: Duology (Duet 2)
Author: Rina Kent
Main Characters: Reina Ellis & Asher Carson

“We were always parallel lines, but even parallel lines can collide and become one. It’s even more powerful than two lines meeting at only one point.”
I’m officially have a Rina Kent book hangover! I love all her books, writing styles, OTT possessive alpha male leads, strong heroine and no boundaries in delivering a perfect dark with a mix of bully romance.
This Duet has been a painfully journey for me, and finally everything comes to light now. After I read the extended Epilogue of Twisted Kingdom wherein we catch a glimpse of him, from there I’m intrigued and I’m glad that he has an own book.
Tbh whilst I’m reading this I’d got confused of who’s is who’s, considering Reina’s state, and I’m glad that it’s all clear and wrap now.
I love how tortured and dark Asher’s character and how he evolved in this book. And of course our female lead Reina she’s the epitome of strong and kickass heroine . I love them both.
This book is all about acceptance, love and forgiveness.

This book was a page turner. Gahhh I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to get all the answers. I loved the chemistry between Ash & Reina it was scorching.
Rina writes some of the best lovable psycho’s.
Never have been so happy to have all of my questions answered! *throws hands up in relief*
Where All the Lies left me with tons of questions, theories and possibilities, Rina Kent did an amazing job in answering every single one of them and still keeping me on my toes until the end.
For this particular duet, I can’t talk much for the fear of giving away anything that could be deemed as a spoiler and this dark duet, is one that you need to experience in its entirety.
The hate-love/love-hate relationship between Reina and Asher, the truth about Reina and the way her history is so intrinsically tied with Asher’s sister, Arianna, every single thing comes on its own and with its own set of emotions.
Kent toes the line of love and loathing between Reina and Asher and works the two extreme aspects well, especially when they clash together. Her ability to make the reader hate the characters and sympathize with them at the same time is amazing!
Fast-paced, intriguing and truths and lies unravelling on every page, All the Lies is full of action, suspense and high voltage drama.
This duet as a whole is a treat for anyone who loves alpha males and females and dark romance.
4 Stars!
