Hidden Truths

Nikki Ash and K. Webster has nailed this sexy, dark and suspenseful mafia love story. Talia and Kostas will rock your world. The rich, risky and ruthless mafia life is not what Talia expected herself to be. But after a forced arranged marriage to pay her father’s debt, she has to adjust with her new reality. And that is the monster named Kostas. But soon she will learn all monsters are not bad. And reality can be deceiving and heartbreaking.

Kostas is my dream alpha hero. He is crude, cruel and dominating with violence and possessiveness running in his veins. But Talia is softening his heart with her stubborn, sassy and strong personality. I love how she stood up for herself and handled all the crazy surprises. Their chemistry starts with instant and intense hate. But through a string of unexpected and unfortunate events, they come closer gradually. They still have lots of issues. Kostas’ caveman attitude and Talia’s need for independence collide all the time. But Talia feels safe and protected and cherished. And Kostas feels his broken and frozen heart gets healed each time Talia touches it. The passion is scorching hot to say the least. It is an unlikely partnership and I will wait with great anxiety to see what happens after that heart stopping ending. Kostas’ brother Aris is an intriguing and enigmatic character. He is the devil in angel’s mask. I feel we will see many more facades of his character soon.

K.Webster and Nikki Ash kept me glued to the pages of Hidden Truths with amazing characters, insane passion and nail biting story line. Best story from the best authors ever.

A – M – A – Z – I – N – G

I am not sure how to express the love I have for these two authors writing together. The writing is flawless and flows perfectly. The only reason you know it’s two different authors is because they have told us. I get kinda giddy when I know they are writing a new book – I want them to write all the books!

This story had me from page one, I could not put it down. I loved the suspense of it all, I loved the continual guessing going on in my own head. Every time I thought I had it figured out I flipped the page and I had a different theory. It is such a great story line and it could have gone any number of ways! But me being me, I a’int telling you how it goes because you need to feel it to love it, and I just know you will!

What do you say, are you up for a little thrill with your romance? Do you love an anti-hero? Love a strong female lead? Want a story that keeps you guessing? This is all those things and then some, so dive right on in and buckle up, cuz it’s a bumpy and wild ride!

For the love of all things holy!!! OMG! I need a moment… Well, actually, I need… like a few days to recover from the emotional beat down K. Webster and Nikki Ash just served my ass with this book.

Let’s just start with this gorgeous cover. Now, it’s amazing right?! Hands down one of the most beautiful covers ever!! It absolutely is the complete embodiment of exactly what I imagined our beautiful Talia to look like. Just absolute perfection!

From the blurb you know she is to be married off to a man she doesn’t love, against her wishes. To pay for bad deeds done by her own father. As one would expect this vibrant, fun, sassy girl is devastated at the level of betrayal at the hands of her own father. In addition to being yanked away from her home and her family, she has become a captive in a gorgeous and glamorous world full of monied monsters, and she’s to marry one of the one of the cruelest and most powerful. She finds solace in an unlikely ally.

The Demetriou brothers Kostas and Aris are both beyond handsome, where one is ruthless, cruel and devious the other is flirty, playful and sensitive. The relationship with their father is also night and day. They appear somewhat competitive with each other. But they both love their mother beyond measure. They are opposite in almost every way.

What I love so much about this book was that so many times I felt like these amazingly talented authors swooped right in and pulled the rug right out from under my fanny and left me in a shocked pile on the floor going WTF just happened?!?! Holy shadooby I didn’t see that coming!! It was freakin awesome!

This book was chapter after chapter of these kind of jaw-droppin, knock ya over moments too, y’all! I finally gave up trying to predict what was gonna happen and just buckled up and enjoyed the heck out of this rollercoaster. I am on the edge waiting for the next book, going to go ahead and just throw that out there right now!

ARC REVIEW

Who knew that these two authors coupled up would bring to life such an explosive masterpiece that should be regarded as ‘The Masterpiece’ till the end of times?

This book has created such a hunger inside me for more from these two authors and to read more about the amazing characters featured in this story!

‘Hidden Truths’ by Nikki Ash and K Webster is book number one in the ‘Truth and Lies’ duet. It is an incredible masterpiece created by the unique imagination of two talented authors and their wicked stories.

This book is a romantic suspense that’ll have you sitting at the edge of your seat cover to cover, biting your nails, shedding a few tears, feeling their emotions as if they were your own and fear what’s to come.

Talia is our beautiful and sweet heroine, she is a theatrical student with a particular interest in Greek Mythology, she is smart and caring, with a sassy mouth that puts her in danger more times than not and a cutting brain that could easily kill her. She is beautiful outside and inside, she is empathic, caring, loving and funny, but she can also be wicked and powerful at the same time.
She thought she had everything she could’ve asked for in life until one day her life gets turned upside down, and in few hours she loses everything important to her and is used as a bargaining chip to keep her father alive.
The bargain you ask? Marry the most dangerous man in all of the Greek Islands, a psychopath who seems hell-bent in showing who he is right from the beginning, Kostas Demetriou.

Kostas is the heir to the Demetriou empire, he is sharp and calculating, ready to snap at the smallest of betrayals and not afraid to get blood on his hands to seek revenge. He is astute and powerful, someone that you don’t wanna cross or even go near, even on his best day, always has a scowl on his face and a cunning word on his tongue. Some might call him a psychopath, well I call him a handsome devil.
He is hard and rough around the edges, but underneath that tough exterior lies a man who seeks love and compassion, a man who’d tear down the entire world for the woman who owns his heart, a caring and sweet man.
Too bad no one gets to see this side of him. Until Talia Nikolaides comes around and knocks him on his knees.

This can’t be called a sweet love story, this is a story of betrayal and pain, a story that not everyone will be able to read and agree with the characters’ actions, it is a story full of angst that just builds and builds until it explodes into a million of beautiful shards that manage to reach even the darkest of hearts, and passion that could bring even the strongest of men to his knees, nonetheless it still is a love story.

This is the story of how a monster, ready to kill you with one wrong look, tries, again and again, to get his beautiful prey to submit and leave everything to him. Well, this prey isn’t a victim, she is a fighter, a hell-raiser, a woman who won’t submit, even to the darkest of monsters.

Because this is a duet, I have to warn you that there is a cliffhanger at the end of this book, and yes it will shock you and yes it will feel like they just tore your heart out using a pair of shears.
But if you are brave enough to get thrown into this amazing world created by these amazing authors, then you will love and die for this book.

The world-building is otherworldly, so much so it will feel as if you were in the book and every time you lift your eyes from these pages reality will slap you in the face and you won’t want anything more than to get immersed in the book again.

Get ready to feel alongside these characters, to love, to hurt, to learn how to love, to scream and cry and grin so much your cheeks hurt.
I guess what I’m trying to say is get ready for an incredible journey where you need to expect the unexpected and remember it is all fictional. No, you cannot fly over there and snatch Kostas yourself. Trust I tried and had to remind me over and over that he is a fiction psychopath and that he already belongs to Talia.

What an epic story. I was not expecting any of that at all and the ending…..just wow. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but I’ve loved all the other books by this author so give it agi and I am so glad I did because its brilliant. I couldn’t get enough and now I’m desperate for the next one. Amazing.

The first in a duet, this story is captivating. There’s so much angst, drama and suspense I literally couldn’t put it down. There’s a feeling of dread and I keep waiting for the other shoe to fall, to no avail, I’m sure I’ll be on pins and needles until the second story is released.
Kostas is as controlling of an alpha as I have ever seen, but there’s something buried deep inside the monster that very few if any have seen. Talia is a free spirit and a bit of a spitfire. I adore her sass. Together they are all kinds of entertaining, sometimes light, others dark, hard and possessive. I really enjoyed watching their relationship unfold, there’s never a dull moment, that’s for sure.
How much longer do we have to wait for Stolen Lies??

Omg I need more now!! This book was such an amazing surprise because I never know what these authors have in store for me and this book had me hooked right away and I absolutely devoured this in one sitting.

If you like books with danger, double crossing, hidden agendas, secrets, lust and some seriously yummy bedroom scenes, this needs to be the next book you pick up…seriously just grab it now!
