Claire Nichols endured the CONSEQUENCES of Anthony
Rawlings’ vendetta. When she first arrived to his home, her goal was survival.
Through strength and compartmentalization Claire captivated her captor. Her
resilience in the face of his rule threatened Anthony’s well developed plan.
Domination became desire and power turned to love. Their passion and adoration
in a world of opulence appeared perfect. Yet, reality was a roller coaster of
emotion. Claire’s world teetered on the edge of sanity as Antony monitored her
every move. When given the opportunity to flee, Claire drove away. A fateful
decision which set a well laid plan into motion. However, unbeknownst to either
of them, there were others who saw past the perfect facade of Anthony Rawlings.
There were others who saw the TRUTH. Conspiracy and unfulfilled promises result
in an early prison release for Claire. Not just a release – a pardon. According
to the law, her crime never happened! Will it be that easy? Faced with freedom
from her past... can Claire seize it? Can she build a new life, mend her broken
spirit, become the woman she once was, and seek her own revenge? Or is it all a
game? And does the game master have different plans? How does Sophia Burke fit
into the puzzle that is Tony and Claire? Will her presence affect the future of
this well esteemed man? Can he dominate twice? Is that his goal? TRUTH
continues the tumultuous saga of CONSEQUENCES, introduces new players, and
uncovers more intrigue. Aleatha Romig skillfully weaves past transgressions through
current deception to create a fervent world of obsessed desire. In this reality
can an all-consuming relationship survive? When buried sins are discovered they
threaten not only Tony and Claire’s future -- but their very lives! Will the
TRUTH be revealed in time?
REVIEWS:
Things quickly turn
around for Claire in Truth, since Consequences left her in a pretty low place. The characters develop and grow. Claire
becomes more confident, shrewd, and independent. Tony, he better start acting
like a normal human being, and he tries. Legitimately tries. I began this book wanting Claire to move on
from Tony. But just when it seemed as if she might be doing just that, I realized
that no one can replace Tony! Yeah, I could list Tony's crimes against Claire,
but really, do I have enough ink?
Characters who were
introduced in Consequences, play a
larger role in Truth. Amber might be
a saint. The most understanding and forgiving character in any book I've read
recently. She's almost unbelievable, but really creates an interesting avenue
for the story to progress.
Romig has created
vivid characters and plausible reasons for me as a reader to excuse Tony's
really bad behavior. All the while, she has set up another truly evil character
to hate. This is a great series, that has continued to improve upon itself with
Truth. I cannot wait to see where Convicted takes us!
Now, I know some people are all hung
up on Harry. Yeah, I get it. He’s a good choice to root for, but honestly
I’m a Team Tony girl through and through.
While I enjoyed meeting Harry, all I could think about is when was Tony
coming back on the scene. I stood up and
cheered when he did. We get a different
side of Tony in Truth. I think we see a softer side. Yes, you non Tony supporters, he has a soft
side. I enjoyed every minute of this
book. This whole series has been one
wild ride that I am sad to see come to an end soon.
Oh and if you thought Tony was bad in
Consequences, you don’t know the half
of it. Wait till you learn more about
Catherine. That woman belongs in a stray
jacket. With an electric collar.
Did anything inspire you to write
“Consequences” and “Truth”? Or was it more random than anything?
I believe it was more random. I had the “thought” of the opening
scene of Consequences. Everything has grown from that. The characters have
taken on lives and personalities of their own. I’ve loved watching them
blossom!
Can you name some funny and/or random
things that happened while you were writing “Truth”? (It can be something that
happened in the story, or something that happened with your family. Anything at
all!)
I wrote about six beginnings to Truth. That’s based on the
Epilogue of Consequences. I took the story many different directions. It wasn’t
until I came to terms with where I wanted the story to go that I was finally
able to start truly writing. Once I did, Mr. Jeff told me that no one would
like it. He said the readers would be upset. It wasn’t that I didn’t care—but,
I can’t write that way. I have to write what I want to write.
I’ve learned that it isn’t possible to please EVERYONE. Therefore,
I’ve decided to please myself. Funny thing—the ratings and reviews are
fantastic for Truth.
In three words, describe Tony. In
another three words, describe Claire.
Tony—complicated—broken—and unaware
Claire—survivor—needy—resourceful
When
did you start writing novels?
I began Consequences, my first novel, in 2010.
Who
is your inspiration?
I have met many authors who I consider inspirational;
however, I’d say my grandmothers were my inspiration. That isn’t because they
wrote books—they showed me, by example, how hard work and sincerity make a
lasting impression.
Apart
from writing novels, what else you do? Are you a full time writer, if yes, what
do you when you're not writing? Have any hobbies or obsessions?
I’m not a full-time writer yet. I will be in three weeks.
Currently, I have NO life outside of work and writing. That is my plan for the
future—to have a life as well as an obsession. Writing is my obsession! I LOVE
getting lost in my manuscript. I will sit down and suddenly five hours have
passed. When I’m doing other things the
manuscript and the characters will infiltrate my thoughts. It is the most
addicting thing I’ve ever done!
I’d say if I’m not writing, working, or with family, I’m
reading.
Do
you have any exciting stories about your latest novel Truth that you think will
be of readers interest?
When I wrote Consequences, I did not plan on it being the
beginning of a trilogy or a series. I thought it was a standalone book;
however, my readers wanted to know what happened next. To be honest, so did I.
Tony and Claire wouldn’t leave me alone. I thought about
them constantly. I needed to learn the TRUTH of their story. I mean, did Claire
really love him? Did she only go on with their relationship because of
Stockholm syndrome? What about Tony? Why would he do what he did at the end of
Consequences? Were Claire’s consequences planned from the beginning? How do
their ancestors fit into the story? I had SO many lingering questions...the
only way to learn the answers was to sit down and write. I can just say...after surviving the
Consequences—everyone NEEDS to learn the TRUTH!
Anything
else you want to share?
The final book in the series is CONVICTED. I’m super
excited about this installment. I kinda have a reputation as a “Mind
F***”. I take that title seriously and
quoting Tony, “I didn’t want to disappoint—public failure isn’t an
option.”
