About this ebook

THIS MUCH IS TRUE - Truth In Lies Book 1 by KATHERINE OWEN

She just wants to escape her tragic story. He just wants to learn her name.

This much is true.

Tally Landon just wants to escape her tragic story if only for just one night. She doesn't count on meeting Stanford's baseball wonder, Lincoln Presley. But now, she just plans to add him to her long list of one-night stands. That's the plan.

Lying to the guy about virtually everything is her sure way of coping. She doesn't count on being found out, ever seeing him again, or falling in love. Ballet is her life. She plans on keeping it that way. But, can she?

Lincoln Presley's life is all mapped out. There is only baseball. With the major leagues circling their favorite prospect with a lucrative offer, he cannot afford to mess up. And, he doesn't; until he meets up with the girl he saved on Valentine's Day, months before.

By the time he learns her real name and of all the lies she's told, he's in far too deep to ever really let her go. Even so, this girl could single-handedly tank his baseball career before it even gets started…

But it's true, right? What they say?

Love conquers all.

Or, does love destroy absolutely everything in its wake?

Author's Note: A coming of age story? Could be. A powerful love story? Most definitely. An unforgettable read? Most likely. Intended for mature audiences, ages 17+? Absolutely.

This bestselling new adult contemporary romance novel will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride and is the first book (which should really be two books) in the Truth in Lies series, but it can be read as a standalone.

This Much Is True is a love story like no other—an angst-filled romance that will twist you up, keep you guessing, and make you cry.

Ratings and reviews

I loved the struggle because lets face it the struggle is real :) I also loved that the book was so long. I'm a fast reader so I managed to read this book in 3 days while working 12 hour shifts ( can't read at work). I really appreciate that she didn't break it into two or three 100 page books. I'm on to book two! Happy reading

I love this book. It is very well written. I could relate to many of the events that have taken place in the book. I feel that everyone should read this book nor the gender you are should stop you from reading this . A big shot out to the author of this book for writing an AMAZING book that I could not pit down .

Great story. Very believable despite its long and convoluted story arc. However, would benefit from a good editor.

Author's Note: I write pretty dark stuff. I love to write impossible situations. My story lines will twist you up and tear you apart and I will surely make you cry. You may begin to wonder if there will ever be a happy ending. My heroes tend to be great and my heroines tend to be f*cked up. And, I like that word, and you'll have to get used to that or you may just want to pass on my work. I don't mind. Truly. Not really. Okay a little.

Lastly, I am not a fast writer. My plots are twisty, and it takes time to think them through. I spend more than half the year thinking about the storyline before I ever get words to show up on the page. So. You'll get one book a year from me if things are going great. I wish I wrote faster, but then again I would be a completely different writer if I did that. Still? I #LoveMyReaders!
