This Much is True


A smart and sexy romance about a grumpy single dad on a mission of revenge, and the girl he can’t leave behind by USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise.

Hope

I blame the alcohol.
I lost my restaurant business, was forced to sell my dad’s cherished 1967 Chevy Impala, and I got a little drunk.
Now I’m waking up with the hottest, angriest guy I’ve ever seen, speeding down the highway like a bat out of hell.
Ice-blue eyes hit mine with stomach-clenching force…
And he swerves onto the shoulder, ready to kick me out.
Needless to say, our romance doesn’t start out sweet.

J.R.

Two years ago, I hugged my little boy goodbye and told him I’d be right back.
Next thing I knew, I was arrested and sent to prison for a crime I didn’t commit.
Until they let me out early…

Now I’m headed home to confront the man who put me away.
A lie put me behind bars, and I’m ready to find the truth.
I don’t have time for a sexy girl with pale blonde hair and bright blue eyes stowed away on the backseat of my new car.
My mission is to get my son back and clear my name.
Love is not on the agenda.
It never is, though, is it?

(THIS MUCH IS TRUE is a single-dad, opposites attract, stand-alone romance. No cheating. No cliffhangers.)

Reaching up, I cup her cheek in my hand, pushing her soft blonde hair behind her ear. I know what she’s thinking. It’s the same thing I’m thinking. We’ve reached our destination. This is where the journey ends.
Only… it’s not that simple. My part in all of this is more complicated than a three-day road trip, and I’ve got forces pulling me in both directions.
Curling my fingers in her hair, I guide her lips to mine for one more hit of my new favorite drug. It’s soft and sweet, with the faintest hint of whiskey.
Our eyes meet, and her smile is bittersweet. I hate it.
I want to make promises. I want to tell her we never have to part, but I promised I’d never lie to her.
I have to follow this path to the end and deal with my shit before I can start fresh. If that’s even possible anymore.
This beautiful girl is way more than I bargained for that early morning halfway between San Francisco and LA, and I don’t know what to expect when we reach Fireside...



4 Stars

What a fabulous adventure this book takes us on. Tia Louise give us some fly by the seat of your pants fun in this standalone story. Lots of laughs and humor help offset the anger and grumpiness.

Hope is feeling melancholy as she has to sell her dads dream car, while her dreams seem to be getting further and further out of reach. Deciding one last celebration won't hurt, she finds herself on the open road with a stranger who is not too happy with her. After a little convincing he agrees to take her along for the ride. What more is there to do than to talk and tell stories from the past?

J.R. is a man on a mission. Being released from prison on early dismissal he has to see is son, and find out why his father set him up and let him take the fall. Knowing he can't leave the state he heads on his way home with the help of his brother Scout. This is the longest 3 days of his life and things are not at all as he expected when he gets to Fireside. Learning to go with the punches, J.R. is determined to return and clear his name.

Could a chance meet and three days in the car be the beginning of something more or is it just a quick bit of fun? When you can't stop thinking about him/her, it really makes you wonder. Can J.R. clear his name and find the life he always wished for. Could hope get her dreams and so much more?
