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.

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'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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome ending! Loved it!
Reviewed in Canada on September 14, 2018
Penn Walker knows he has to let go of the woman he loves in order to protect/save her. He has managed to find Savannah but his heart misses Cora and he knows he is doign the right thing.

Cora Guerrero was given the amount of money she needed to escape her from under the now deceased Guerrero brothers but she realizes the nightmare is not over after she has a run in with Thomas Lyons. Thomas is after his ex-wife Catalina Guerrero Lyons and won't stop until he has her.

Can Cora manage to stay ahead of Thomas and will Penn come back of Cora is in danger? Will Cora forgive Penn for faking his death to protect her?

This was such a great ending that had so many twists and turns that I was never sure how things were going to work out.

I understood why Penn made the choices that he did but I knew it was not going to be easy for him to stay away from Cora. I loved how he really helped Savannah and was there for her through everything. He cared so much about Cora and the girls that he risked everything but he knew that he still had Drew to watch over Cora.

Cora was devastated with the "death" of Penn and she had to carry on for River and the rest of the girls. I was so proud of Cora and how she really tried to help the girls out of their situations but she wanted them drug and alcohol free.

I was completely shocked at the twist at the beginning of the book with Cora and River. I was so mad at Thomas and was freaking out with what was going to happen to Cora. I was proud of Cora's actions but I was worried about her safety once I knew she was going to be with Catalina.

I loved the revelation and everything that came about - it was awesome! Then the action increased more but so did all of the tension. The talks between Cora and Penn were intense and you never completely knew what was going to come out of them due to everything that had happened and all of the secrets.

I loved the chemistry between Penn and Cora and knew above all they really did love each other.

The end was super intense and I was blindsided about who was working with who! Such a great scene!!

An enjoyable journey. While there were surprising scenes others were predictable.

There were also clifhangers that I anticipated would come in Drew & Catalina's story.

Where is the novel on Drew & Catalina?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!! A must read duet!!
Reviewed in Canada on September 13, 2018
Completely blew me away!!!!

Loved the conclusion to the moon and back.

Aly has seriously outdone herself on this duet. The Truth About Us begins exactly where The Truth About Lies leaves off, and WOW talk about grab hold you and never let go.

This conclusion is heart stopping, heart melting, and even bits of heart breaking. Cora and Penn both pull at your heart.

Aly always seems to find a way to shock me, make me gasp out loud. Quite literally Aly's stories just blow me away!! I always think "Ohhh this is my favourite Aly book" then THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT!!! BAM SHE DOES IT AGAIN.

Cora and Penn, are incredible characters Aly created, however, they would not have been so perfect without Drew, Cat, River, and Savannah. The supporting characters were the ideal companions to these two. The banter between them all was just the right amount. So many times throughout the story I laughed, I was emotional, and above shocked as hell in some spots.

This was one hell of a roller coaster, which I would gladly ride again. I look forward to where Aly takes us next. I have no doubt, it will be another amazing adventure of lies, deceit, and love.

Amazing duet, one of the best I've ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars What A Journey!
Reviewed in Canada on February 17, 2019
Wonderful conclusion. Obviously don’t want to give anything away so I’ll keep this short and simple.

I couldn’t wait to see how this Duet ended. Does the lies that were told and shedded in book 1 between Penn & Cora become too much to overcome and move on? Can you really find a second chance at love, at happiness, at life, and at freedom when you have to face your biggest fears and move on from lies told and new information discovered while discovering those lies? This book was a journey to get there, to a place where forgiveness is made. But I loved Penn & Cora in book one but in book two they definitely got a spot in my heart for good. This whole amazing group did. Wow, what a journey!!

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.

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!
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018

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!
