It’s really helpful to read them in the intended sequence, otherwise you might miss important information.

This series is worth reading. 4.5 stars
Discovered Secrets (Book 1) rated 4 stars
I enjoyed the book for the suspense and little romance. It was a little confusing with the back and forth of time frames. The characters were well-developed. It was a good start to the series, and I'm looking forward to reading more.
Discovered Memories (Book 2) rated 5 stars
In this second book of the series, the story is filled with past demons, intrigue, and romance. Alexa Kent is in Mexico to find the greatest story of her career. In the process, she meets and works with Sam "Macaw" Elvia, a Panamanian-Italian introduced in Discovered Secrets. Her investigation leads her to discover the human trafficking of small children. The characters are complex and flawed. Together they unravel some mysteries that have been haunted them for years. Though Macaw is from book 1, it's not necessary to read it to get the full impact of this story. Each book is a stand-alone story.
Discovered Indiscretions (Book 3) rated 4 stars
A brilliant addition to this series. An ICE agent and a surfer dude end up together running from trouble. They witness a murder and kidnapping on the beach while Border Patrol Agent Tatiana Romero works her overnight shift. Brett Johnson waits on the shore for the waves and sunrise so he can get on the water to surf when Tatiana stumbles over him. This story is intense from page one and holds the intensity throughout. There is action, intrigue, suspense, and romance. The characters are strong and complex. I enjoyed reading this and look forward to the next book.
Discovered Liaisons (Book 4) rated 5 stars
A great addition to the Discovered Truth series. The plot was well-crafted and filled with suspense, intrigue, mystery, and romance. Jessica and Spence have an adventure in Mexico, trying to track down the person responsible for stealing Jessica's social security number. Their attraction grows, and they work well together. A surprise ending finishes a wonderful book.

This one was a delightful one because as soon as I got finished with one then I could go onto another one. This was first time in reading this author but it will not be the last especially since I read all of these. The first one you get to discover secrets and that is always one that you have to really dig for it would seem. Jesse is a investigative reporter which makes him even more of a daring one. This will also turn out to be a stab at a second chance with Clare if they make it. Hair raising times but a story that you want all the five w's.
Oh and the titles are fitting too with this one being on the memories. This time though it is a different reporter named Alexa whom can not let go of the memories of her mother's murder long ago. This also is one that pulls at the heart especially since I live in a route for human trafficking. Little girls to twist you up and want to see them saved. She gets a unlikely partner with a name of Macaw. Together they will make quite a team but the original memory will tie in. Oh the excitement.
Oh and this one opens the door to imagination with its racy plot it is soon very dangerous. This border patrol agent and Brett by accident see a execution and kidnapping. They seem to both have trust issues and along with what needs to get done this makes for a dangerous story that has you glued to the pages. To have become a target too has you running for cover hoping they survive. Tatinna and Brett have me so excited will I make it?
Finally after catching my breath for a minute I am about to get it going again with the last one in this gem. These were right in the line of what I had been reading alot of lately and it is nice to discover more. Jessica will have her work cut out for her when someone steals her. I should say the identity that is. When she goes on to see about it she witnesses a murder but will get some help. Spencer being a friend takes on a request to help from his buddy but soon finds more than he expected out of this one. Seems the web the spider wove might catch them both but they too might catch each other. Such danger and romance that is a winning combo for any reader.

DISCOVERED SECRETS
Jessie life as an investigator reporter
His boss wants the official story
Panama, the Zone, the world Jessie knew
Who would give him the inside scoop
The mafia, his past comes crashing down
Realizing to save the one he loves
To release the past, and choices a friend
had made. The plot was good, it doesn’t flow
going from past to present, hopefully next will.
DISCOVERED MEMORIES
Alexa on an assignment in La Paz Mexico. With an informant she uncovers young girls being taken. Which brings her to Macaw, even with a bribe the risks are high, and maybe their lives. The tension between and the trust is there between the two. Better with a female than first story
DISCOVERED INDISCRETIONS
Tatiana doing border patrol along the border of Mexico
A surfer waiting for sunrise to go surfing
Angry voices, a murder and the body disappeared
An Undercover agent has been taken,
Brett living on a boat had secrets, he’s pulled into this
Each story is better, deeper intrigue plot
DISCOVERED..LIAISONS
Jessie was an expert in her job, and even hacking for detail information
Question why she didn’t do this at home, she had the skill
Even to listening to conversation of the hotel guests
The flashback of a past memory was distracting. The characters were good
Overall good and good series.

I am so glad I got to read these books as a set. It made it so much easier to dive into the next book as I finished each one. These were so addictive, it was hard to put them down once I started. Each book is filled with action, danger, and suspense and will keep you on the edge of your seat. The author does a great job of weaving a tale of mystery and intrigue, with of course a little romance added in. These books can be read as standalone, but I think it's more enjoyable if you read them in order, especially since there are cameos of characters in past books. All are well-written, compelling stories with a fantastic cast of characters. This is a series you don't want to miss!
I received a complimentary copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Discovered Truth Series Box Set
By Julie Bawden Davis
Main Characters: Jesse and Clare, Alexa and Sam, Tatiana and Brett, Spencer and Jessica
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
4 out of 5 stars
These four stories all have strong male and female m/c's. These are action-packed and are somewhat related to each other but can certainly be read as standalone. Well written, entertaining, and HEA endings.

Stories of Courage and Love
I am a pushover for intricate stories of bravery and love with characters who are believable and fighting for justice, in real fascinating environments that interest me. I only regret the hours of sleep that I have lost because I couldn't put the book down.

Excellent series that blends well
Each book could be read alone but they do build off each other. The first book lays the groundwork with Carter signing the Panama Treaty. The background story is believable and matches that Era. Great suspense and mystery.

An amazing collection of stories that will have you binge reading. Each story is unique in their own way. Fast paced, strong characters that draw you in.

I'm a little addicted to this series and happy to see them bundled!
Each book is a standalone but are still connected in a unique way and much better when read in order IMHO!

This is a great series and having the first 4 books in the set means you can just keep reading each one as they follow each other. No cliffhangers but the minor characters reappear in bigger roles. Each book is fast paced and action packed. The criminals are ruthless both the men and the women and these characters and their criminal activities are well described. Each hero and heroine brings their own special skills, feisty attitude, sometimes tragic back story, humour, love and romance. A thoroughly enjoyable series.
