Publisher Description
How far would you go to ensure your secrets remain buried?
When James Blakely agreed to work as Jezebel Tate’s bodyguard, he gave everything he had to keep her safe—but he never expected that to include his heart. Now, James’s hidden past is emerging from the shadows, threatening everything he’s fought to protect and the life he’s creating with Jezebel.
Jezebel’s recovering well from the trauma of her encounter with an obsessed fan, and she’s focusing her renewed strength on helping James confront the demons that haunt him. But James knows these demons still exist, and he fears what Jezebel doesn’t know could pose the greatest danger of all.

Perfection!
Once again, this new to me author has flawed me with her words, Truth We Bear is book two in the Pieces of Me duet and though it's standalone, it is best to read both Lies We Keep (Book 1) and this book.
Danielle Rose is fairly new to me, the only other book of hers I have read was Lies We Keep, and I absolutely loved it and was so excited going into this book straight after book 1. She's gone and weaved her words together and created a plot so thick and intense that it has consumed me from the first chapter of book 1.
We knew from the beginning that James Blakely had been through hell in his life, but he had always been tight-lipped about it, he hadn't opened up much to anyone about the things he had been through, not even Jezebel. In fact that he won't open up about these secrets to Jezebel are is something that could quite possibly make or break their relationship.
In Truth We Bear we get James POV and we get to find out more of his past. This book picks up 12 months after book 1, and things are about to get complicated, James' past is about to come back and haunt him, and Jezebel for that matter and someone from his past is on a warpath to destroy his happiness to get what they want and the fact that he's kept so much from Jezebel isn't helping the situation one bit. You also see more how he feels about Jezebel, and how much he has fallen for her.
Will James be able to save his relationship? Or will it fall apart? Will he be able to leave his past in the past? Will his past actually let that happen?
I loved the mystery, the unknown, the suspense, and most of all the insanely hot and intense, steamy and all-consuming heated scenes in this book. It was hot enough to melt my kindle and it was addictive, I couldn't get enough. I am so glad I took a chance on this author and this duet.
I highly recommend this book, but urge people to start with Lies We Keep (Book 1) to get a better understanding of this story, the relationship, and the building up of these two characters and their intense relationship.
