The Truth About Us

Oh, my, the things that Claudia Burgoa does to my heart. Wow, just wow! This second book of the amazing “Impossibly Possible” duet is a continuation of Gabe’s story and the love he shared with Ameline and what became of his life without her. Do not start this book without reading or better yet, listening to the audiobook of the first book, “The Lies About Forever”, which ends in a cliffhanger, and it is best to avoid spoilers of all kinds going in to this book, you will be happy that you did, I know I was. This beautifully written and plotted story not only captivated my attention the entire time, but it tugged on my heartstrings too. I loved seeing more of the Deckers and how everything played out in this book, and that twist blew my mind in the best way possible. I despised Ameline’s family in the first book, and they were no better in this book. Gabe grew so much as a person, got past his insecurities, and turned out to be a kind and loving man, a very generous one. Gabe and Ameline’s story will stay with me for a very long time and that ending just warmed my heart. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for this amazing and wonderfully moving story, an emotional rollercoaster ride like no other. 

🎧📚🎧 Teddy Hamilton and Angelina Rocca continue to deliver an outstanding performance of bringing the characters and story to life from the pages to your ears. Their portrayal of the characters is spot on and their character voices have been consistent throughout the duet, and grew as their characters did. They continue to set the perfect tone for the story, as well as capture all their emotions and have you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevated this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

I absolutely loved The Truth About Us by Claudia Burgoa; the second book in her Impossibly Possible Duet, a Decker Family Novel, it is an incredible conclusion to the cliffhanger love at first sight love story. Claudia Burgoa continues to provide readers with incredible love stories filled with amazing characters. She continues to prove that she is an amazing storyteller. I love all the characters in The Truth About Us, they feel like family! The Truth About Us filled me with a rollercoaster of emotions, it was impossible to put it down, and I loved every moment on every page. Who does not love hot sexy men, strong females, loving families, and friends, who always support one another? I love how Claudia Burgoa incorporated the title of the book and the picture on the cover into the love story. The Truth About Us is the conclusion of the cliffhanger love story between Ameline “Ame” Lewis, a lawyer and Gabriel “Gabe” Decker, a renown oncologist. The Truth About Us takes place ten years after The Lies About Forever. Gabe’s mother, Pria, asks him to head to the airport to pick up his sister, Lyric, who is arriving on a red eye from New York. Gabe purchased a ticket so that he could meet Lyric at her gate instead of baggage claim. To his surprise Lyric is late getting off her flight only to be accompanied by Ameline. Ameline informs him that she got a message from her sister Isadora that she needs Ameline’s help. The following morning, Isadora’s neighbor calls Ameline notifying her that Isadora was taken to the hospital and that someone needs to pick up her children before someone calls child protective services. Ameline learns that she has a four-year-old niece, Cora, and a three-week-old nephew, Caleb. Once Ameline and Gabe arrive at the hospital they learn that Isadora had a stroke and is currently in a medically induced coma. Ameline and Gabe work together to get guardianship over Cora and Caleb. It is helpful that Ameline and Gabe are still married. I love how Ameline revealed that to Lyric, who then informs the rest of her siblings. I love that Ameline is constantly threatening Gabe with divorce papers, which she has sent to him in the past. It was heartbreaking Cora horded food because of her food insecurities and Caleb was going through withdrawal, but I love what Ameline and Gabe do to help them. I love the text stream between Ameline and Gabe, it is one of my favorite parts of the book. As Ameline and Gabe spend time together things begin to change between them. I love the chemistry between Ameline and Gabe, and the conversations between them flow so easily, with innuendos and playful banter, with Gabe constantly flirting and dirty talking with Ameline. Once Isadora regains consciousness, it is determined that she will enter rehab and Ameline will take care of Cora and Caleb. I love everything that is revealed about what happened between Ameline and Gabe following the cliffhanger ending. Gabe informs Ameline that she died on the operating table and that the baby that Ameline miscarried was a girl, that Ameline named Alisson. Gabe had distanced himself from Ameline following these events because Archer went missing and the issues with Seth. I love that Ameline reconciles with Cedric, her father, Richard, and Gabe’s mother, Pria. Ameline’s meetings with Richard were heartbreaking, I especially love the letter that he left for her. I love all the changes that Ameline and Gabe are willing to make in their lives to have a life with one another. I love the ending of their love story and the surprise that is revealed. My favorite part is the epilogue, I love how it beautifully wraps up their love story. I really enjoy how the book is told in the first person from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. The Truth About Us is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments and all those things that I have come to love and expect in Claudia Burgoa love story, and she did not disappoint, especially with the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. I love the characters and the family dynamic in The Truth About Us, the characters feel like family and friends. I enjoyed all the interactions between Decker siblings, especially their teasing that made me laugh. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed The Truth About Us, an incredible conclusion to the cliffhanger ending. Highly recommend this incredible love story. Received an advanced copy from the author.

The second half of this duet was exactly what I needed after that cliffhanger from the first book.

There's some pretty heavy hitting topics in this book but each one felt researched and treated with dignity and respect.

Gabe and Ame's story ends so beautifully. I can't wait for the next Decker!!!
