A single moment in time can change everything . . . relationships . . . your outlook on life . . .

vehicle makes contact with its liquid coffin, Jasmine’s knocked unconscious, and Hunter’s left to fight
for their lives.

forever. He's been a man of action since his first steps, and this won’t change any time soon, but as

imagine his life without, the day-to-day becomes much more tangled.

romance thriller highlighting the importance of friendship, the determination for honor, vulnerability,
and a willingness to die for those you love.

never guess is coming like only they can do.

I'm trying hard to write this without spoiling it. All I can say is read it to the end!!!
June 5, 2023
Wow, this is one of my all time favorite books. I couldn’t put it down. I’ve always wanted Hunter and Jasmine to be together. She’s one of my faves, after all, she’s Joseph Anderson’s first grandchild. I actually cried several times reading this book. Loved getting updates on characters too. There’s a reason it’s told in just Hunter’s point of view. Such a creative story that blew me away. I was totally unprepared for the shock at the end, what a twist. I need the next book already. These books are worth re reading. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy and I highly recommend this book. These author did such an amazing job writing together.

What a wild ride this book was! It starts with a bang, ends with a bang and has all the feel’s a good romance brings in the middle. There are wonderful characters to get to know, a hot hero and strong but loving heroine, plenty of steam and a nail biting plot! Melody Anne and John Henley have proven yet again that they are a great writing team. With this newest one “under their belts” I can’t wait to see what they come up with next! I think Five Goodbyes is my favorite so far and it is so worth checking out!

Shew
As I was reading this book, my thought was that the author has put too much emphasis on Hunter and his love for Jasmine. I continued to read the book, and it all came together in the last chapters. I now say it was brilliant!!! I was so pleased with the turn of events and the twist of how the book ended. Can't wait for July 13th!!! Next...

This is such an amazing story between Hunter and Jasmine. It’s a story of romance and love between the two characters we’ve been rooting for since book 1.
His dream was beautiful and I hope it comes true ❤️

An awesome ending
This is the 5th and final book in the series and it was fantastic. The love between Jasmine and Hunter is beautiful. The plot was amazing, you think the storyline is going one direction and then boom, it changes. I thoroughly loved this story. Looking forward to Jasmine’s story. Good epilogue.

not as expected
Found this book very mushy all the way through, but you realise at the end why. Not my favourite book in the series but looking forward to the next book. I love these characters and want to know what is in store for them next.

Fairy tale romance
Told from Hunter's point of view, his romance with Jasmine is overly sweet at times, emotional, heroic and heart melting at others but there is a surprise along the way. Can't wait for next book.

FIVE Goodbyes
OMG! Another great story, seriously these Andersons are are great family, one you wouldn't expect to be as close with their financial background, but they don't let it be known or act like it. Now Jasmine and Hunter ate finding their path, only to have it ripped off track by an awful event. This story will tug at your hearts 💕, pull every one of your feels. Enjoy, till we get The next book.❤️

Nail biter for sure
Oh my gosh what an incredible story. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. What a surprising ending. Can't hardly wait until the next book. Fortunately I have 8 books by Melody that I somehow missed. Those will fill the time until Jasmine's Homecoming is released.

Wow, first of all I have waited and waited for Jasmine and Hunter to get together for five books. Only to find out most of it wasn’t real. Really…… but I also have to admit it was one of the best book/series I have EVER read. Please Please give them there story ❤️.
I do not want to be a spoiler, so this is all you get. You will not be disappointed.

Five Goodbyes...
Truth In Lies series book 5. ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS FROM ME! The LOVE, DESPAIR, HELPLESSNESS, HOPE, GRIT and BEAUTY of it all. Jasmine Anderson and Hunter Sparks will steal your heart and run away with it. I laughed, bawled my eyes out and screamed at my kindle. The freaking end tore me up, so twisty. I'm not sure if this is the last book of the series but what a way to go. Brilliantly written. Onto a different series (Jasmine's Homecoming Anderson Heirs book 3) but connected. Love it all!

Great book!
I really want to say I love this book, but I hate the ending. I could not put it down! It was everything I wanted in the story about Jasmine and Hunter. But that ending, It was devastating!! I know there is more to come in another book, but what a cliffhanger! This is not what I was expecting at all. I still highly recommend this book, because the story itself was great!! The series is a definite must read!!

Disappointing
This is my favorite author, but I think she’s extended Jasmine’s story to draw out. Now we have to wait for another book. I loved the storyline in Africa and the funeral was very touching and emotional. Did not like the twist of it not being true and now Jasmine has no memory. Very disappointing for me.

trauma or state of mind
We fall in love, you don't know when it happens. Hunter would give his life to save Jasmine after the car crash. Follow this journey with Hunter and Jasmine. You knew from book one of this series that there was a connection.
But there is a twist I caught on to because it couldn't be, could it? You have to read it.

July 22, 2023Shock and sadness
It was an interesting take on the story. I had a feeling about it and I ended up being spot on. I have to admit I enjoyed the series however I am not a fan of cliffhangers within a series and Melody and John ended with cliffhangers or chose to end the story in such a way that well I was not happy with I guess. So be prepared if you chose to read the stories. I love the Andersons forever and always!

The ending.....
Omg! I know it said there was a twist ending but I was not expecting that. How crazy the mind works! Jasmine and Hunter worked so hard and fought their feelings for each other to getting together. Now it turns out they need to fight to keep their relationship. Can't wait to read the next book.

This book, told from Hunter's POV, takes us on quite a journey from the beginning to the end. The story will keep you turning the pages as fast as you can. I never saw the twist at the end coming. Well done Melody Anne and John Henley.

Sappy
I endured Hunter’s sappy love story account thinking finally a HEA to this saga…NOT! So now, it’s like Biggy Smalls, “It was all a dream!” I love the Andersons but not this series. For heaven’s sake, let Hunter and Jasmine be happy together!
