"I once learned, a long time ago, to get what you want, to have all the power, to be the hero and the good guy, you have to make everyone else look like the bad guy."
~Hero, Pieces of Truth

Pieces of Truth is the sequel to Pieces of Lies, the whirlwind saga of one captivating woman and three amazing men vying for her heart, featuring the dazzling life of the ultra-rich, secret societies, mysteries, lies, deceit, suspense, intrigue and even blackmail.

Please note these books must be read in order:
Pieces of Lies (book 1)
Pieces of Truth (book 2)
Untitled (book 3) - The conclusion. Estimated to be released late 2013.

In Pieces of Lies (book 1), we meet Norah, with a murky past embarking on new beginning by transferring to Maclaren University to finish her last semester of College and be closer to her best friend Josh. On the night they were both thinking of taking their friendship to another level they end up having a fall-out and Norah instead meets the jaded, entitled school playboy Clint. Norah soon finds herself in a tug-a-war between these two men only to have her first love/ex-boyfriend Samuel, re-appear as her third suitor.

Book 1 was nothing short of a roller-coaster as lies and deceit were spun and secrets unveiled all under the watchful eye of the all-seeing secret society, Lappell and powerful people in Norah's past. I will not reveal which of her suitors is ahead in the race. But I can tell you that Book 1 ended with two of her suitors coming to a blow with Norah picking one. However, in the epilogue her third suitor stirs up new drama.

This story, Pieces of Truth (book 2), opens up with everyone having graduated and moved to New York. Norah is in a committed relationship with one of her three suitors while the other two are frantically trying to win her back. Much like in book 1, book 2 is every bit the roller-coaster of lies, deceits, secrets, suspense and intrigue. The drama keeps building and comes to several blows throughout. Norah will end up not knowing who to trust or what to believe. For most of the story darkness still has the upper hand overshadowing her efforts. And it's quite possible that one or more of her suitors are lying as well. As much as she cares for these three men, she is desperately trying to get to bottom of everything - to sort through the Pieces of Truth.

Heroine: Lenorah Rossi aka Norah Ross/23 year/artist-recent College graduate/black hair/brown eyes
Hero 1: Josh Hollows/23 years/Financial advisor for Investment brokerage firm-recent College graduate/brown hair/green eyes
Hero 2: Samuel Voltaggio/20's/family business/black hair/black eyes
Hero 3: Clint Weston/23 years/Investment banker-recent College graduate/$$$$/blond hair/blue eyes

Norah Ross is beautiful inside and out. After losing her mother she was raised by her father. She has secrets from her past that will be reveled in book 1 and 2. She is an artist with one successful exhibition under her belt. There is no doubt that all three men have a sincere desire and love for Norah and it is clear that she loves parts of each of these men. It's difficult for her to choose because not only are the men very competitive, they also have life-time memberships or ties to Lappell and other powerful special interest groups and Norah finds herself a commodity, a price in a high-stake game, on more than one occasion.

Her biggest obstacles are finding herself, her footing and trying to decipher the truth, while finding a way to exist amongst these powerful groups. The Pieces of Lies series is Norah's journey of self-discovery, personal growth and choosing her life-long love.

I loved her from the start of book 1. In book 2 I felt her to be distracted and all over the place. I wish for her to slow down and find peace.

Four words to describe Norah: Captivating, strong, unique and sincere.

"I wanted him to be ruthless, I wanted him to be fearless, I wanted him to take the biggest risk possible for me and be a hero."

Josh Hollows is Norah's best friend since childhood and we get to know him starting in book 1. In book 2 he has graduated and accepted a position with a firm closely tied to the Lappell. He is trying to find his footing and balance with Lapell and hopefully make a good life for himself and Norah. What works in his favor is his deep friendship with Norah serving as a very solid foundation for a relationship plus their undeniable attraction to each other.

Six words to describe Josh: Loyal, calm, smart, sexy, intense and ruthless!

Samuel Voltaggio is Norah's first love and ex-boyfriend. Book 1 introduced him, but he kept many of his secrets and stayed mostly in the background both stirring and vying for Norah. In book 2 he is coming back with a vengeance. He is not the only one with secrets and he will try to expose them. What works in his favor is the love they shared and that the break-up was not of his nor Norah's choosing.

Six words to describe Samuel: Relentless, secretive, handsome, persistent, intense and ruthless!

Clint Weston the ultra-rich, jaded playboy from one of the most affluent families in the US has never cared for a woman nor had a girlfriend until he met Norah. She turned his life upside down and he has not been the same since. He is oftentimes desperate, possessive and relentless in his pursuit of Norah. But he also has very strong bonds to the Lappell and finds himself caught in the middle on several occasions. What works in his favor is his ability to be both vulnerable and expressive in his love for Norah.

Six words to describe Clint; Possessive, relentless, attentive, vulnerable, intense and ruthless!

Please note that though book 2 left Norah in a good place, her story will not come to a full conclusion until book 3, due at the end of this year. Until then we leave her happy and content not realizing that yet again new drama is lurking in the shadows. Book 3 is bound to be another epic read as everything comes crashing down and to a halt and the truth is finally revealed. May all the pieces of lies and truth finally fit!

So far I have enjoyed every moment of Norah's journey. She is truly a wonderful heroine and all three heroes are very strong candidates. I'd be happy with whoever Norah picks. Therein, of course, lies great sadness for the two left behind. Thanks Ms. Richardson for an epic series!

"Sometimes, the smallest moments in your life have the greatest impact. They soar straight into a place deep inside you, and resonate with the very core of your heart, sinking deep into your memory, to remind you later, that life and love can bring you magic you didn't know existed."

Pieces of Truth Pieces of Lies 2 edition by Angela Richardson Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

This Review has a spoiler!!!!

Wow, this book just gobberblasted me! I loved the book, but I just don't know which way to turn with the ending. In the first book, Pieces of Lies, someone stated that Josh was brilliant with a high IQ, not that I thought he was dumb by any means but I did not sense he was as brilliant that he could orchistrate what he did. I love Josh and I stated he was the right one for Norah in my review of Pieces of Lies. I am glad he and Norah ended up together, but I just don't know if he is too much like her father, but I hope not. I mean Clint and Samuel were both calculating and telling lies to Norah but Josh did too, but what he accomplished would be considered a masterpiece with what he did and how he went about it. I'm sure that Josh loves Norah with everything he has and he lost so much in his life already that he couldn't lose Norah too, his one bright spot. But lies have a tendency to come to light and I just worry about how Norah will take it if she ever finds out the truth, but maybe it will never be found out. Seldomly does the nice guy win out, so Josh did what he did best by coming out as the nice guy but the winner also. Definitely read this book but you have to read Pieces of Lies first.
This review may contain a few mild spoilers........

I like this series because of Josh and Norah. I wanted, no I craved and anticipated more of Josh and Norah in this sequel, but I felt I didn't get it. The story starts off well enough. I love that early on in the story Norah takes a trip to Josh apartment and realizes again...(yes, again from the first book we know that Norah is in love with Josh) that she has deep romantic--not only friendship feeling for Josh. Frustration #1 with this book--Norah constantly talking her self out of and feeling "guilty for her feelings for Josh. Why?? From the first story from her first introduction to Josh we know their relationship is special and that she loves Josh. She was willing in the first book to let their relationship to go further until he screwed up and then it was as if he wasn't worth the effort to try again. Why fight it? I loved reading Josh's letter to Norah and I loved their history.

Frustration #2 with this book--Clint! Ugh... I couldn't like him. I tried I truly did.... he wasn't a terrible person by any means I just didn't like him and it was pure torture reading about him and Norah together. I rooted for Josh the entire time.

F #3 This book didn't have enough of Josh and Norah being together moments for me. Josh was in the back ground making appearances here and there but he wasn't around enough to fight for Norah . It had to much Clint and Norah and their sexual encounters for my liking.

F#4 Norah! She wasn't as likable in this book for me. She was indecisive, whiny, jealous and a big hypocrite. Apparently she is the only one who can lie and cheat in this story. Which brings up another thought...what is so great and amazing about Norah that she has not only two but three rich, intelligent, beautiful men all making great sacrifices to have her??? The author may have needed to make the reasons for their dying love for her more apparent.

Now some thoughts about Samuel who is hardly in the book at all. I like Samuel. I like their history as well in fact it was hard to decide in the early beginning before I chose my team who I wanted Norah to be with. Sam is great. HE was and is good to Norah. I'm not sure that his lie in not telling her he knew who she was is worth the treatment he got from Norah. And know that I know the end of this story I wonder if he got cheated out of a chance with Norah.

Lastly, I just want to say this book is a good read and I enjoyed it especially the ending before the epilogue. Spoiler........ But if the author writes another book and it ends with Josh not getting his life and future with Norah all an account of the way he went about it I will be so angry. I hated hated the way the author made Josh out to be a manipulator and hiding lies from Norah at the end of this book. It's almost like you really didn't know Josh at all. The Josh that we knew and were introduced to in the books was all a big lie and I didn't like the feeling that left with me. If Norah threw Samuel and Clint to the curb for their lies and deceit what is she going to do to Josh when she finds out what he did to be with her?? It can't end good. Then again maybe I don't think Norah really deserves him either she kinda bugged me in this book. Therefore I don't know that I will be able to read the next book. By the way is there a next book??
