Truth: Penn Walker entered my life like a summer storm—dark, ominous, and filled with thunder.

After witnessing my husband’s murder, I didn’t have much of a heart left to offer a man.

But Penn took it all.
Every jagged shard.
Every broken bit.
Even the dirty and twisted pieces that I wish never existed.

Lie: I didn’t need him to save me.
Lie: I knew exactly who he was.
Lie: Losing him wouldn’t destroy me.

But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her four hilarious children.

Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys movies that can surprise her with a twist, charcuterie boards, and her mildly neurotic golden retriever. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.

She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a glass of wine by her side.

Emotional...Explosive...Phenomenal!
“Fine, you want the credit? Here you go. You were my knight in shining armor. I should be on my knees, thanking you right now. But you’ll have to excuse me. My knees are a little sore. I’ve spent the last few weeks on them, crying over you.”The EMOTIONAL and EXPLOSIVE conclusion to The Truth Duet is here and it was PHENOMENAL! Aly Martinez left us with bated breath at the end of book one and when I held The Truth About Us in my hands, I just knew…I knew that this was going to be an unforgettable read! Happiness, anger, frustration, sadness, joy…my emotions were all over the damn place with this one, but I’ve come to expect an intense and passionate emotional rollercoaster when it comes to this author and her incredible storytelling.Good things come in two’s with this author, meaning this isn’t the first duet she’s wowed us with, but it is the most memorable one for me. From the gorgeous book covers, to the captivating synopsis, to the unputdownable storyline…this book…this duet…HAD IT ALL! I continue to be amazed at this woman’s talent. She surpasses even herself when it comes to the genre and I have a sense of absolute satisfaction when I get to read another one of her books. Penn and Cora are EVERYTHING! Their intense, emotional, and passionate connection had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Their epic kind of love had my heart bursting with each turn of the page! Trust me when I say…you guys are in for one EXCEPTIONAL treat!*ARC provided by the author*

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the wait, this is a superb conclusion to a fabulous duet!

When I finished The Truth About Lies I was so sad I had to wait for this book but having read The Truth About Us, I can tell you it was well worth the wait. Aly Martinez did a superb job of wrapping up Cora and Penn’s story, and I am even more enamored with her skills as a storyteller after finishing this duet.

Even though I knew what was going on, my heart broke for Cora during the beginning of this book. Ms. Martinez did a fabulous job of portraying the devastation Cora was feeling, while still letting her unflappable strength shine through. My heart broke for her while she was in the throes of grief but still had the resilience to take care of her girls in the way she’d always planned on.

The Truth About Us was rife with suspense. Almost from the beginning, there were several threads of intrigue that sprouted from the aftermath of the event of The Truth About Lies. Aly Martinez kept me glued to my kindle trying to discern exactly how things were going to play out and if Penn and Drew were going to get the vengeance they’d been planning for years. I was utterly taken aback when things came to a head, Ms. Martinez completely astonished me with the twists she threw in.

The Truth About Us is the second book in Aly Martinez’ Truth duet. The Truth duet is one story told in two volumes, and both stories must be read, in order, to get the complete story. There will also be a spinoff to this duet, The Ways We Lied, that will focus on another couple. The Truth About Us is written in dual first-person perspective, narrated by Cora and Penn.

Aly Martinez is the master of duets. Each time she releases one I am blown away by how beautiful they are and how she splits them in the most perfect place, then gives us an outstanding finish to her characters’ stories. I’ve yet to read a single book of hers I haven’t loved, but there is something special about her duets that makes them stand out from the crowd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aly has gifted readers with another amazing duet!

After that ending in The Truth About Lies, I was dying to get my hands on this book! With everything that Cora has endured in her lifetime, what more can happen to her? As strong as she is, what is going to be that one thing that is finally going to break her?

Once again Aly fills this story with twists and turns. I thought I knew what was going on and where the story was headed, but there were revelations around every corner. Right up until the very end, I was thrown for a loop, left with my jaw hanging.

Cora and Penn together, they are just passion and heart and soul and selfless. No two people deserve a happy ending more than these two. They've suffered through things that most people wouldn't be able to come back from, let alone think of a future that might possibly contain love and happiness. Yet somehow, they keep going each and every day. One in. One out. They find strength in each other, they find themselves wanting a future, together.

There's a whole new set of threats and danger that plague Cora and her girls. When is this nightmare she's had to live in for so long going to end? The only shining light in this whole thing is Penn, who is right by her side. Man oh man. Penn is amazing. Even though he was a destroyed man who hasn't even been really living for the past four years, only existing to exact revenge on the people who killed his wife, his sole purpose has now changed to protecting Cora and her daughter and finding a way to give them the type of life they deserve.

The theme of truth or lies is prevalent throughout this book. Both books, actually. Sometimes telling a lie is done to protect someone. Sometimes it's done to keep from hurting someone. Sometimes telling the truth does more damage than good. The world that Cora and Penn are living in is not black and white and oftentimes it is life or death.

Aly truly is a master at writing an intense, deeply emotional, thrilling story that burrows into your heart and takes up residence. She weaves such intricate stories, I marvel at how she brings all the pieces together to draw the reader into the heart and soul of the storyline.

If you've read any of Aly's other books, you already know that you will be going on one heck of a ride when you pick up this duet! I'm so excited to read the next book, The Ways We Lied about Drew and Catalina!

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow-simmering conclusion that is filled with the very best in twists and turns!
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018

Gobsmacked. Yup that's me right now as I finished The Truth About Us. Aly Martinez did the slow simmer kind of storytelling with this second book in The Truth Duet and as much as I thought I knew how this wild tale would conclude, let me just say that I really had no clue. Martinez had me all comfortable and then BAM I'm blown away once more.

Once again, Martinez gives us endearing yet beautifully witty characters in Cora and Penn. Despite all that has happened to both of them, they have a fiery spirit that simply cannot be extinguished. As more and more secrets are revealed and lives are still hanging in the balance, their love somehow survives but not before hearts get beaten up and hung out to dry.

With the way The Truth About Lies ended (and I won't give anything away here) you'd think Cora would have given up on a chance for a better life with or without Penn by her side. But damn that woman is fearless. She may not always think so but she is truly amazing. I admire her gusto, her continued selflessness and the humor that keeps her going. Cora handles anything and everything that comes her way with a determined spirit that is to be admired. Her suspicions about events that had gone down in book one keep her on her toes and she clearly gives Drew a few headaches along the way. But it's her drive that is the force behind this story and I couldn't love her more if I tried.

Whatever you may think will happen, might. But be prepared to be blown away as the story nears its end. Martinez is meticulous in the way she crafts a story and to say this conclusion is compelling is a true understatement. Her gift at making the reader feel 'comfortable' before that oft-times surprising other shoe drops, is remarkable. And the way she creates the very best in memorable characters is unmatched.

Another winning duet from Aly Martinez, I am happy to give The Truth About Us 5 big stars!

This book was incredible! It was emotional and heartbreaking and absolutely amazing! What Cora and Penn go through is tough and heart wrenching but Aly has created a story that will stay with me forever. Penn completely stole my heart and everything he did was just... Ah! How he cared for Cora was beautiful. I loved the characters and the story and I loved how it ended. It was a perfect ending! Now I can't wait to read about Drew and Cat's story because I know it's going to be amazing!

I do wish as a review we could occasionally give a 10. This would be one of those times. This is the second and conclusion of this duet. It starts virtually where the book 1 finished. It remains thrilling, full of suspense, romantic and graphic. We have flashbacks that explain a lot. We have POV from varies characters, but will still have humour as well as dark moments. This Author has a wonderful imagination, excellent penmanship, and is greatly talented. We now have to wait till next year to get Drews story, but I’m sure it will be worth it, as Aly never writes mediocre.

I'm such a fan of Aly Martinez already and the truth duet did not disappoint! I love the twists and turns. When something happens and you gasp "holy sh**" out loud, you know it's a good book! Down side, I finished both books in two days so it was over too soon but I loved every second of Penn and Cora. Read these books! You will not be sorry!
