The Pretence #2

Remember the Truth

Rate this book
Will finding out the truth cost him everything?

With her identity secure, our heroine is free to explore not only her past, but also the love of the new man in her life - Nathan.
But their fragile reality is ripped apart with the return of a handsome stranger from her past - a past she still can’t remember.

Determined to uncover the truth of what happened to the woman he loves, Nathan pulls out all the stops. With an unlikely accomplice, he comes face-to-face with the monsters behind the cruel deception. With everything on the line, and running out of time, can Nathan uncover the truth and survive long enough to reveal it? And will the extreme measures he’s taken to uncover the mystery, separate him and the woman of his heart forever?

Remember the Truth is book two in the series, The Pretence, and should be read after book one, Forget the Lies. If you enjoy fast-paced Christian fiction with romance, action and mystery thrown in the mix, and a dreamy happily-ever-after, all set against the backdrop of sunny South Africa, then this series is for you.

I was desperate to see what would happen in the story and I literally stayed up all night till I finished it. I had high expectations and it truly delivered.

I loved how this was a stand alone separate story but still looped around to Hlala Nathi series. Loved the added crime /action theme to the romance.

I received an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this book and just like the first book in this 2 book series, I didn't want to put it down until the last page.

Abigail Johnson is still suffering from amnesia after her crash in book 1 but now at least she knows she is not Jessica, the influencer who was married to Xolani, Nathan Southey's brother. While trying to piece back her life and making sense of her feelings for Nathan, someone from her past shows up, someone who apparently knows her quite well from what she can gather. But why does Abigail have a nagging feeling that something isn't quite right?

Meanwhile, Nathan is still looking for answers about his brother's death, which he doesn't believe was an accident. With some help he uncovers piece by piece but with that danger looms as well.

With Abigail's fiance back in the picture, Nathan steps back to let her regain her memory, even though his heart is aching and his friend's advice.

Will the return of her memory really bring the peace and answers she is looking for?

Enough drama, suspence, danger and love to keep the reader at the edge of their seats until the last page.

2025 Challenge 1: April: Book about a place you would like to visit

Struggled with this challenge. Not sure where I would like to visit. Since I am proudly SA, decided to go with one of my favourite SA authors. Once again, Ashley Winter did not disappoint. I loved how characters from the Love in SA series made appearances in this series too. Loved it.
