This book will hook you right in. It’s dark, twisted, sexy and while there are some parts that are stomach churning, it’s very well done. Nikki Ash and K.Webster’s writing styles are very descriptive and the two complement each other so well, that the book just flows perfectly. Wow doesn’t begin to cover this gem of amazing writing talent. I am blown away and could not stop reading. It’s well thought out, well-developed and I absolutely LOVED this story.
Talia and Kostas have a complex relationship. They are complete opposites, but their explosive chemistry is off the charts. Talia is the light to Kostas’ darkness. She is an independent and feisty young woman while Kostas is moody, dark and cruel. However, when he meets Talia and gets to know her, he makes a sudden one-eighty degree turn and she draws out his lighter and softer side. With insane family dynamics that will have you suspicious of everyone and twists and turns where you least expect them, Hidden Truths will leave you reeling!
Hidden Truths is a fast-paced, dark romance and the excellent character development is testament to the authors’ own perfect chemistry in writing their first collaboration. It was a delight to read about the intrigue, the scheming and cunning that made Kostas and Talia’s story a must-read. The relationship between Talia and Kostas develops into love and trust but I could sense that something dark was lurking and as expected, this book ends in a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
First and foremost… holy cow this book rocked my world!! A captivating, dark, mafia romantic-suspense that will blow your mind! Hold on tight because K Webster and Nikki Ash will take you on a wild ride you’ll never want to get off of. This writing duo is so unbelievably creative, the things they come up with are out of this world entertaining!
Hidden Truths has all the aspects you could want in a story. You have an arranged marriage with all the drama you can expect from a mob/criminal family. Amazing character development with love/hate relationships that will leave you reeling. Whatever you thought you knew and felt will change and jump around throughout the book. This story is so twisted, but still sexy, sweet and swoony. It’s alpha and sass at it’s finest.
From the very first page, to the last, you will get lost in Kostas and Talia’s world. It’s a cliffhanger, so don’t worry their story isn’t over yet, and you don’t have to wait long for more. This is a MUST READ! My favorite book of the year, and one of the best of all time! Beyond 5 stars!

I was so looking forward to this collaboration by two of my favourite authors and they did not disappoint—what a dream team indeed. The first book of a duet, Ash and Webster created dark, sexy and unforgettable characters I truly enjoyed reading. Hold on to your heart and knickers!
Talia Nikolaides is the beloved daughter who is in her senior year in college in Italy. She is a theatre arts major and her idyllic life comes to a halt when she found out her estranged father betrayed her turning her life upside down.
As heir to a family that is deeply involved in organised crime in Crete, Kostas Demetriou finds himself a pawn in his father’s scheme for revenge. He is a ruthless and dark man who has yet to find his partner in life and when forced to marry a girl who is the daughter of a traitor, expect a lot of sparks to fly!
I love these authors’ first collaboration. Talia and Kostas are complete opposites, but their explosive chemistry is right up the charts. Talia is the sun to Kostas’ darkness. She is a bubbly, independent and feisty young woman while Kostas is moody, dark and cruel; however, when he meets Talia and gets to know her, he makes a sudden one-eighty degree turn and she draws out his lighter side.
“A monster wouldn’t be a true monster if he didn’t hungrily sink his teeth into the offering he’s been given by the lesser mortals.”
The fast pace of this dark romance and the excellent character development is a testament to the authors’ own perfect chemistry in writing their first collaboration. What a delight it is to read about the intriguing protagonists and the scheming and cunning antagonists that make Kostas and Talia’s story a must-read. The dramatic scene at the wedding is mind-blowing (no pun intended), and the events that follow after is one of betrayal. The relationship between Talia and Kostas develops into love and trust but I knew something dark is lurking under the smooth waters and as expected the final chapter in this book ends in a cliff-hanger. I can’t wait to find out what happens next! I highly recommend this book!
5 captivating stars!! Wow I loved this book!!
This is book of the “Truth & Lies” Duet. It ends in a cliffy so be prepared.
First of all, mafia romance is one of my faves and this is no different. I am in love with the characters. There was dark, sexy, hopeful, twisted and messed up. Everything you need to make an incredible book!!
This was written by two authors I am familiar with yet it flowed as if one author wrote it. Flawless and beautiful.
Man I wanted to hate Kostas but I couldn’t. I fell so hard for that man!! So many different characters, and so many stories. I loved all the twists and turns!!
I applaud these two for creating such a kick ass mafia romance. It has sexy, dirty, dark, tragic, hate, love, laughs and so much more. This is definitely a must read!!
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
I need more Kostas in my life!!
And here comes Kostas, coming into my life like he owns the place! Now calming my heart after reading book 1 of this duet, I need to refill more wine and grab my blanket, before I chew off my nails. The emotions, the angst, the love, the hate… you feel every single one of them and leaves you all out of sorts. In Hidden Truths, you learn looks can be deceiving so never judge a book by its cover. Sometimes the biggest snake wears a charming face. All the twists and turns kept me turning page after page.
Both Nikki Ash and K Webster are just amazing individually. But when they collab together, it’s just a match perfectly made. The characters they’ve created are a perfect balance with amazing chemistry in both in and out of the bedroom.
Kostas is one hot mofo that exudes authority and demands attention. I fell in love with him at the first page. I love his change throught the story. How is monster balances to more human when it comes to his wife. His possessiveness is what got to me the most.
“Your wickedly possessive and equal parts horrifying threats are somehow romantic in a way”
Kostas definitely met his match when it comes to Talia. She might’ve been sheltered but isnt naive by any means, and is quick to learn to own up to her new life. She can stand her own right from the start and takes no bs from no one, least of all from Kostas. Love how Talia balances her new normal into Kostas world and becomes into such a badass, I cant help but love her as the perfect heroine for a hero like Kostas.
“It makes you a psychopath too, zoí mou. Own it. You’re not the same woman who stepped onto Crete.” I give her hand a squeeze. “You’re one of us now.”
I am on pins and needles for the next book, Stolen Lies! I cant wait to see what happens to these characters I cant get enough of. And of course, I cant wait to be taken back to the hotel Greece and its surroundings. Another five star must read from this dynamic duo!
OMG this book is amazing!! Nikki Ash and K. Webster our did themselves with this one. Talia and Kostas are amazing! They are explosive and entertaining. I love how she doesn’t let her circumstances define her. Kostas doesn’t let the past of others define his relationship with Talia. Together they find their own kind of normal. In this book you should expect the unexpected. I won’t give anything away! Definitely need to read without have spoilers give it away. Definitely recommend Hidden Truths as a must read.
Wow you two. This book is amazing!!
Poor Talia. This poor girl has no idea what her father has done until it is to late. She has to learn to live in a life she knows nothing about. She is scared, turned on and in one hell of a mess.
Kostas is a very dark man inside and out. He runs the family business with his father. But he is also a pawn in his fathers plans. Cold blooded killer and one Dom man.
This book keep me wanting to read and never put it down. So looking forward to Stolen Lies !!!!!
