Bad Truth

Jewel Agency #3

by T.L. Russ

Two envelopes. One contains a truth, the other a lie. Which is real, and more importantly, which do I want to be real?

Billionaire playboy Grayson Hughes confounds me. He’s nothing like I expected and he makes me feel things I haven’t since I was young. This was supposed to be a simple job, but the extra envelope saying he’s innocent just complimented everything.

I learned early that love isn’t real and people are just pawns. Yet is that his role or mine? Am I the one being played? When I find out the truth will I walk away or set everything ablaze?

Bad Truth is an action-adventure romance filled with hidden identity, a billionaire playboy, emotionally wounded heroine, and instant attraction. As always, you can expect no cheating, open-door loving, and a happy ending for our lovely couple.

Apparently staying up until 6 in the morning is going to be the norm when reading books by TL Russ, especially when it comes to this Jewel Agency series. Bad Truth is the third book in this series and it follows Reign and Grayson’s story. I’m telling you, these two are a perfect match that will leave you burning with desire. It’s not just their chemistry on the page that nearly made me need a cold shower. It’s the vulnerability that is shown from both of these characters that tugs at the heart strings. It evoked so much emotion that it made me shed a few tears and the ending left me satisfied and eager to know more. I seriously hope these two get another story sometime in the future because I couldn’t get enough of their flaming hot love.

I LOVED this book! Bad Truth is Book 3 in the Jewel Agency series and though I've loved them all this one is by far, my favorite. Ruby is that girl!! I loves me some good banter, and the sass from Ruby meshed with the Alpha male exterior cinnamon roll center of my new Suga Zaddy Grayson was perfection. It was fun, fast-paced, funny in bits, tugged on my heartstrings when we delved back into the past, and ended on a super sweet note. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for an action-packed romance that can be read in one sitting.

Easy 5 Stars!!!!

Easy 5 Stars from me! Bad Truth for me had it all. I mean the characters were fully developed and will probably live in my mind for a good while to come, Ruby was hilarious, sassy, and spoke her mind at all times while Grayson, sweet Grayson was all cherries and roses for Ruby but could easily handle business when needed. I just loved their love. The action-filled plot made me feel like I was watching a whole action movie and had me hooked from page one. Definitely a must-read.
