While being held captive, Olivia starts having feelings for this bad boy and Nico’s feelings are mutual for Olivia. They are both keeping secrets from each other but that doesn’t stop the passion from taking over both of them.

Olivia has found her self a man that will love and cherish and worship the ground she walks on. Danger and intrigue and surprising revelations will not only make Olivia’s head spin but yours along with it. This book is not what you would expect but so much more.

I know the author wants to be the surprise it is. I mean I was shocked and the bombs she plants through this story. I fell in love with their romance and yes HEA. A true love forged in the most unconventional of meetings.
Exhilarating!
Truth in Pieces was a great read! A bit of mystery and suspense wrapped up in a steamy mix of deliciousness that was named Nico.
Nico and Olivia were FIRE together! Both strong and willing to fight for what they want had the sexual tension smoking off the pages. This is another fantastic read by RC Boldt!
RC Boldt is such a talented and versatile author and whether she writes a romantic comedy, contemporary romance or romance suspense, she’s on point every single time! Truth In Pieces is a very exciting, engaging and suspenseful page turner that I couldn’t put down. I was so consumed, intrigued and invested with the storyline that I read it within a matter of hours.
Nico, one of the biggest drug lords in Miami and Olivia, a criminal psychology professor meet under unusual circumstances and are incredible together. Their journey is one heck of a ride and is filled with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. I couldn’t help but root for them especially towards the latter part of the book. And their bedroom antics are so naughty, sensual and tantalizing. Truth In Pieces is an excellent and well written book that I highly recommend reading.
Just like the title says, RC Boldt leaves little morsels of information to hook you deeper into the web of mystery she pens. Right from the first page you’re thrust into the world of action and mystery. There was never a dull moment within this story. Whenever I thought there would be a break in the action, another clue would be thrown at me. I love a strong and sassy heroine and Olivia fit that to a T. I loved how feisty she was when standing her ground with Nico. There was a little bit of mystery hinted about her that I was dying to figure out, too. Nico is the definition of bad boy. Alpha, broody, demanding, and sexy wrapped up in a delicious package. He definitely had a sweet spot for Olivia and I loved being able to see that vulnerability in him. It is very hard not to fall for Nico. The connection and chemistry they had together was powerful and H O T! As the story progresses and Olivia and Nico fall deeper into one another, more pieces of the puzzle come out and it’s a race to figure out the whole picture. Each new piece of the truth that was revealed only confused me more as to what the outcome could be. The conclusion is such a shocking sucker punch that I did not see coming! Wasn’t even on my radar that it was a possibility. This was such a phenomenal book that I could not put down. The perfect balance of romance and suspense. Highly recommend this book!
Truth I went in blind with this one and never read the blurb. I knew I could do this because R.C. Boldt gives you such amazing reads. Truth in Pieces is beyond amazing. You get twist and turns, some action and of course those need to fan yourself moments. You will love Nico and Olivia. There is this pull from the start and it is hot watching it grow stronger as the book goes on. Olivia and Nico there is these pieces of a puzzle that is just waiting to be solved. They have this way of drawing you in. Olivia is amazing how she handles everything that is thrown at her. You will fall for Nico and his gruff ways. There is a lot of surprises in this one. I loved this one so much. All I have to say is hang on to your seats and enjoy the ride of Nico and Olivia. Go one click this one today.
R.C. Boldt really did me in on this book. There were times I couldn’t catch my breath. This book is filled with suspense, lies, angst, romance, very hot chemistry, and truth in pieces. What more could you ask for in a book? you definitely do not want to miss the story of Nico and Olivia.
FIVE PHENOMENAL STARS!
I love how RC Boldt can take our minds on one big emotional adventure. Mystery, lies, and two characters you won’t be able to figure out until the very end. When truths come out lives are forever changed. I enjoyed every single thing about this book. EVERY.SINGLE.THING. This book is my top favorite of 2020. RC Boldt had out done herself.
I highly recommended this book!
*I voluntarily reviewed this book given to me in advance of release day.*
I will extend my review closer to release day.
I love a good romance! Throw in a little angst, suspense, and even mystery, and that is a recipe for a great story. Truth in Pieces is all of that, and more! RC Boldt dishes out the truth piece by piece, spoonful by spoonful. Little phrases that the characters say catch your attention, have you saying, “What! Does that mean what I think it means?” The characters have so many layers that the author peels back and reveals bit by bit. The story is so gripping and captivating I did not want to put it down.
As stories go, it is a little longer than most, but not once did I feel it was too long. The author moves the story along at a perfect pace, seducing you into her web of lies, secrets, and truths. She manages to have the reader fall in love with criminals and keeps you guessing what will happen next. The anticipation keeps you reading page after page as your heart beats faster with every word!
Quote: “Love doesn’t follow guidelines. It doesn’t heed logic. It can be unruly and unpredictable. It can mean falling in love with a criminal.”
Author RC Boldt builds a relationship of trust between Nico and Olivia. Nico can’t hide behind his façade forever; Olivia’s education and training can sense something good in those golden-brown eyes — something tells her she is safe and protected in his arms. Nico is a surprisingly tender sexual partner and his dirty-talking mouth will shock an orgasm out of any hot-blooded woman. Don’t worry — he has many sides to his sexual prowess and he shows them all. Caring and tender one moment; intense and animalistic the next. Exactly what every woman needs in her life.
Truth in Pieces may actually tear you in pieces. You may find your heart torn as you hope and pray for some way that this story can have a happy ending. Hold on to your seat – it’s a bumpy ride with many twists that could induce whiplash – but it is a ride well worth taking to meet a patient and sometimes kind criminal who has a caring side, if only he can figure out how to break free.
This is an honest review for an arc received.
Your heart is in charge of choosing it’s recipient, regardless of what your mind has to say on the matter.
WOW!!!!! RC Boldt has done it again. This book has everything…suspense, plot twists, romance and off the charts chemistry between Olivia and Nico. This review is a little hard to write because I’m so worried about giving away anything! But a little insider info, Nico Alcanzar can salsa, ladies! And boy is that hot!!!
“That which tries to break me will fail.”
Olivia Wright is a psychology professor who has been through traumatic events in her life. She prides herself on being strong and independent. Nico Alcanzar barges into her life and plans on using Olivia as a pawn in his quest to bring down her mother. He’s made it a point to know every facet of her life.
To understand that even when you feel broken, even when life plants seemingly insurmountable challenges along the way, if you look hard enough, you’ll be able to see it: a truly wonderful world.
Everything Olivia thought she knew of her past is brought to light. Will she continue to be used as a pawn in a twisted power play between Nico, his drug empire and the Cartel or will she fight for what is right? Can Nico follow through with his plans when his heart becomes involved?
“Sometimes, you gotta make good memories to chase away the bad ones.”
This book is 5 suspenseful stars! I love a really good suspense/love story and RC Boldt delivered. The love story that grows between Nico & Olivia is beautiful, especially given all of Olivia’s issues. Nico shows that even though he is a brutal drug lord, he’s so gentle and understanding with Olivia and her needs it just makes you swoon! This is a must read! I loved this book.
Secrets, wrapped in lies and mixed with tons of chemistry! Truth in Pieces is a story full of intrigue and suspense right up until the very end.
Nico Alcanzar and Olivia Wright play a dangerous game with their secrets and lies. Nico is a known kingpin of a drug cartel and basically kidnaps Olivia, for her own safety, but for his own nefarious purposes as their story comes out in bits and pieces.
Olivia is a professor of psychology, what could she possibly be in danger of when Nico kidnaps her from her boring life? Finding out her biological mother is known as the Mother of Death and runs a rival the cartel knowing Nico will use her begins to make more sense.
Neither are willing to give up too much of themselves as the game between them goes on, but during quiet moments they show those inner layers beyond their high walls and perhaps truths behind the lies. Could Nico and Olivia be more than what they perceive to the world? These small truths almost hurt more than the lies they carry, for as much as they peel back the layers, having more is never a reality, the lies are too great and they will never be able to live beyond the danger.
Olivia finds herself falling for a known criminal, even with all of her knowledge in psychology, there is something about Nico that draws her in, when she should stay far away, but tell that to her heart which will break once he uses her like a disposable bargaining chip.
Who can you trust and who is telling the truth? In this battle of lies, this story will keep you guessing.
Truth in Pieces will captivate you as you try to put all the broken pieces together as the danger, destruction, and vulnerability swirl around you like a never ending storm. Nico and Olivia will steal your heart as you get caught up in the lies. They have this burning desire that grows more intense the deeper in they get and it’s actually beautiful to watch. Nico has this protective but sweet side that will rock you to your core. You need to read this book for the music box, the dance, Goliath, the jukebox, the letter and the text messages alone. RC will keep you on edge as the twists you won’t see coming blow you away. This story is suspenseful but the doubt, hope, loss, trust and love woven through the pages will show you that in time all the pieces fit and the truth shall set you free.
