I thought I would be safe coming back home, but it seems I only ran from my present to be caught in the crosshairs of my past.
Jace:
I traded my future for a life.
I knew what was on the line when I made the deal, I knew what I could lose, but I also knew that I didn’t really have a choice.
I gambled and lost.
Now the one person I had dreamed of having a future with was walking back into my life bearing the last name and wearing the ring of another man.
Lips painted red, hair that same honey gold and there against her creamy throat was our promise to one another, still dangling, reminding me that I may have lied, but she ran.
I was a liar, she was a coward.
Now she was home, and she wasn’t mine.

This book was a wonderful second chance romance. You will have all the feels for Jase and Faith and the circumstances of their separation, as well as their reunion. I recommend getting your copy of thIS MUST read book. Tennessee Truths will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!!
Faith Morgan Vanderson grew up in Collierville, Tennessee and thought she had everything figured out with her high school boyfriend, Jace Walker. Yet just as they were planning their next step together he suddenly broke her heart and she left town and was ready to move on and forget about Jace. Yet her marriage to Bryan hasn’t turned out like she thought it would and now she has escaped back to her hometown to start over once again and be closer to her best friend, Gemma, and her parents.
Jace Walker was the boy from the wrong side of the tracks but he loved Faith with all that he had. Unfortunately Jace’s mom was also sick and he was forced to make a choice that he never wanted to make and he lost everything but now he has had a chance to start over and make something of himself, even if his heart has never healed.
When Jace bumps into Faith at a party he humiliates her as she has so much more than he will ever have and his heart has never healed. The tension builds between the two of them but so many secrets still remain between them and neither of them will ever heal. When Bryan comes back into town wanting a second chance with Faith will she give in or will she stick to her own plan. But when Bryan starts with threats how far will Faith go to protect those she loves?
This was such an amazing book filled with some great twists and deep secrets that change everything!
I thought Faith was a great character and I loved the notes she secretly wrote with her secret admirer when she was younger. I thought the beginning of her relationship with Jace was so sweet and he loved her so much from such a young age. I felt horrible for what she was going through in her marriage to Bryan and I was very happy when she was able to escape.
Jace was much more of a mystery to me as when you heard how he truly felt about Faith it made my heart break into pieces but when you see how he treats her then I got so mad. I did understand why he was upset at how fast Faith moved on to Bryan after everything they shared but I felt like there was so much more to the story than what any of us were given.
There was so much information hidden from the readers and from both Jace and Faith that the other had been through and I knew that nothing would be resolved until they finally talked about everything that each of them had been through and got it all out in the open.
I was so happy when Jace and Faith slowly began to listen to each other and realize how much love they each still had for the other but they were still trying to deal with Faith’s divorce and the secrets they both still had.
Bryan was absolute scum and i hated how he continued to manipulate people to his advantage and really make everyone except Faith, question what was going on. That being said he still played Faith as well and used what was most important to her to try and break her.
My heart truly broke for Faith with everything that went down with her parents.
I was so happy when Jace finally listened to Seth’s advice and got everything out in the open!! Yet he later broke my heart after Bryan.
The end made me laugh so hard at how Faith finally got through to Jace! I was so happy with how everything ended!
This second chance, small town romance by Ashley Munoz will have you in the feels. It’s heartbreaking beautiful as you follow the journey of Jase and Faith. I love second chance romances and this is one not to be missed. Childhood sweethearts find their way back to each other and deal with what broke them in the past. It’s sweet, sexy, emotions and will have you hooked from the opening pages. I truly loved how dark and broken Jase was and Faith complimented him well with her strength and compassion. They fit perfectly together like two pieces of a puzzle!
This second chance/enemies to lover’s romance was amazing. I read this book in one sitting. Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. I was sucked into this story. Jace and Faith were everything. Their relationship will take you on such an emotional ride and I loved that. I love stories that make you feel what the characters are feeling and this was it. I highly recommend Jace and Faith’s story to everyone.
I read an early review copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
5 PIP AND FOOL STARS!! Love, Love, love this book!! You know those books that grabs you and holds on until the last word….this is that book. Jace and Faith will touch every part of your heart with all the feels. This is my first book by this author and I can’t wait to read more.
I knew as soon as I read the blurb for Tennessee Truths by Ashely Munoz that I wanted to read it. The blurb alone dripped with angst and I could not wait! This was a second chance romance that was emotional, heartbreaking and full of all kinds of feels. Jace and Faith shared a young love that was everything, but choices tore them apart. Now years later she is back and nothing is the same.
Once I started reading I could not stop. They both should have moved on but moving on is never easy when it comes to the matters of the heart. Jace was resilient and determined. Faith was both strong and vulnerable. The chemistry between them was intense, but so many secrets and lies surround them. The story was full of angst, emotional and captivating from start to finish.

Happy reading!
“There was something so deliriously beautiful about being seen by Jace Walker.”
Faith Morgan is back in her home town carrying her secrets close to her chest. She’s not prepared to come face-to-face with the love of her teenage life. And, she’s wholly unprepared for his enmity. As the days go by and their paths keep crossing, the past slowly unravels between them.
“Whenever she’s around, something inside me just charges up, like an electrical current, and then zap.”
Jace Walker is bitter and ashamed of the fact that he appears to be in exactly the same place as he was five years ago, when Faith ran away and married another man. He has no idea why she’s back, he only knows that she’s no longer his. When truths start coming to light bit by bit, hope starts to flare that they could finally pick up where they left off but, unfortunately, Faith’s other life keeps intruding and setting them back.
“I wanted Faith. I wanted her heart, her soul, her body, and every single future kiss from those delicious lips.”
I really liked the beginning of the story when Jace and Faith were young teenagers. They had a fantastic connection and I loved how passionate they were about one another. Once we’d fast forwarded into the future, we start to untangle just what has happened in the five years previously. Jace is bitter and Faith is broken but there’s no denying the ever-present connection and torch they still carried for one another, no matter how hard they might try to fight it.
I thought that this story was compelling reading but, at times, I must admit that I found it a really frustrating read! The characters needed to just freakin’ talk to one another honestly and openly. There were too many times I felt like screaming at them, especially Jace. He was so quick to believe things about Faith at face value rather than really stop and think about what he really knew about her and her character. I felt sorry for both of them and all the machinations that kept them apart but, yes, I kinda wished that Jace had had slightly different reactions to some of the situations in the story.
This was my first book by this author and I’d definitely read another.
Wow! Just WOW!! Tennessee Truths has all the feels! I love a good second chance romance and this is one of my newest favorites! Jace and Faith’s story is amazing! I was hooked from the first chapter and read it in one sitting! FIVE STARS!!
The phenomenal writing in this book is why I love Ashley Munoz and her writing style. This small town romance is angsty, a little bully, totally swoon worthy, and is definitely a must read! If you are already a fan of Ashley’s work, you know this book is some of her best work yet! If you’re new to her then this book will rock your world!

This is my first book by Ms. Munoz and what a phenomenal introduction to her writing! Jace and Faith grabbed my heart from the moment I started reading. I loved the fortitude Faith showed in the face of what her life had become….and to say it’s the opposite of what she and Luke thought their life would be is putting it mildly.
Imagine having a second chance with the love of your life practically dropped in your lap but it’s not going to be easy, would you do anything possible to get this love back? This is what Jace and Faith are going through in this book.
I’m so impressed with the depth of these characters and how well Ms. Munoz developed them and this story. It flows beautifully and is full of angst but also full of love…even if at times it seems misplaced. Watching these two come back together on what is a somewhat pain filled journey had my heart aching at times.
I’m so excited to have discovered Ms. Munoz and her stories and can’t wait to read more of her words!
I am just speechless…this story was so amazing. By far one of my most favorite reads to date. More than halfway through the book I was literally ranting to Ashley Munoz herself because I was just beside myself and I needed to vent…please see below for said rant:
******************
Oh my lanta Lady, what are you doing to me?? I’m 86% through and I can’t think of one book I’ve had to put down so many times because I wanted to
a) throw my kindle
b) scream and shake a character
c) cry, like full on tears
d) get my heart rate back down because of all the dang stress and anxiety
You are breaking me and I am loving every minute of it
Ok, I’m done my rant. I’m going back to reading.
******************
Seriously, this book is a must read. So many emotions, angst, twists and turns. I am hoping there will be a follow up book or two because there are several secondary characters that I loved and think their stories would be amazing as well.
Ahhh!!! There is nothing like getting lost in a book by a new to me author and a story set in Collierville, TN which is close to my hometown Memphis. The title Tennessee Truths caught my eye, but the synopsis made up my mind to give this new author and this book a try. I am so glad that I did. This book was everything that I needed to get lost into and forget about all the going on in life today. I loved Faith and Jace’s story. Their story had all the drama and angst that your little heart desires. I absolutely loved everything about their whole story from beginning to end. This author’s writing is stellar and I am excited to venture into more of her books. I can’t recommend this book enough as that I not only fell in love with the characters and their story, but also with the writing. If you are looking for a captivating story then look no farther because this story is the one for you!!!
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
Tennessee Truths by Ashley Munoz is an angsty heartbreaking second-chance small town romance. The author successfully captured all the beautiful and heartaching emotions through her words!
Jace and Faith were supposed to be together. They were childhood sweethearts and meant the world to each other. But fate had some other plans. Faith is back to her hometown after breaking it off with her rich and powerful but abusive husband. And Jace is no longer that sweet boy. With so much secret and bitterness running between them, can they start a new life?
Faith is an amazing woman. She has truly compassionate and kind heart. She is sensitive and soft and gets affected by other people’s emotions easily. But she also has incredible strength that helped her to fight against her manipulative and cruel husband. She used her inner power to make herself a new beginning. If she is light, then Jace is darkness. His heart is blackened with anger, hatred, guilt and fear. The circumstances he went through, hardened him into this impenetrable fortress. He still loves Faith but he doesn’t trust her. So he pushed her repeatedly and hurt her like an a$$hole. Because he was scared. Their condition isn’t easy. Specially with the traumatic past, the interference of media and with their own issues. I understand what Jace was going through but I felt he was unreasonable a lot of times. He acted on impulse way too many times. A lot of his whip lashes were totally unwarranted. I was frankly getting angry on Faith’s behalf. But Faith handled it very well. They have this sweet and sexy chemistry. The feelings were intense and very real.
Tennessee Truths by Ashley Munoz is a swoony, gritty and heartwarming love story. It’s full of beautiful emotions and the writing is captivating.
Received ARC for honest review
Gah!! This book is everything!! Faith and Jases’s story is one that pulls you in and doesn’t let go!! They’re both such strong characters that you love so much. You feel the pain, the love, and everything in between. It’s a story of a second chance at love filled with secrets. Jase and Faith have been through a lot but keep pushing through. Jase is **swoon** your dream book boyfriend. You get all of the feels from this story!!
Ashley Munoz is an amazing writer who sucks you into the book. You feel like your in the story experiencing what they’re going through. It’s so detailed you can picture everything. This is her best work yet!! The books just keeps getting better and I look forward to what’s next.
You definitely have to read this book!! Highly recommend!!
This was an excellent introduction to Ashley’s books. The blurb intrigued me as I love second chance romances and couldn’t wait to dive in.
Faith and Jace’s story was one that at times infuriated me and at others made me smile. We get to see them falling in love at a young age and see them ripped apart. As we read their story slowly unfolds and it is one of sadness and heartbreak but also one of strength and personal growth. My feelings on Jace flip flopped so much, I liked him as a young boy the way he won the girl really endeared him to me but older Jace was an absolute tool. Even as I hated the way he treated Faith I understood his feelings. I adored Faith and admired her strength so much even though I didn’t agree with some of her decisions. There aren’t alot of steamy sex scenes just enough to show their connection. The focus is on the realtionship and how they overcome their past to fight for a future.
This is one of those perfect stories you don’t want to ever put down. Jace and Faith have so much love for one another, it’s simply amazing and something everyone wants…..aside from the truths they are hiding from one another. This book was one heck of an emotional roller coaster. I wanted to throw my kindle at times I was so upset with one or the other. It was a VERY antsy read that had my blood pressure up for sure! With that said, it was one of my favorite reads of the year so far!
This is my first book by this author but now I am hooked and will be reading more. Jace and Faith have an unbelievable chemistry riddled with passion, hate, hurt, misunderstandings, angst, but so much love. I had a hard time putting this down because their journey just sucked me in.
This is Jace And Faiths story and what an emotional roller coaster journey this is! This is a beautifully written tale which has heartbreak, secrets, lies, truths, which all lead to a heart-wrenching story. This talented author has penned an amazing tale and her attention to detail had me devouring this story in one sitting. I highly recommend for all readers, and I cannot wait to read more from this author.
Faith and Jaces was a tough emotional pill to swallow. This book dives deep into turmoil of Faith and Jace that as much as I wanted them together and just have a normal conversation about owning there choices I also got to the point I wanted kick them in the head. These two loved each other so much and so hard that it was heartbreaking when Jace broke both there hearts but what Faith does after I’m not a fan of at all. For 5 years these two have been through the ringer and when they finally see each other again it’s the total opposite of a warm welcome. This was a super slow burn, high angst and was written so well that your emotions bled over the pages along with the H&h.
