Review: Truth (Finding Anna #3) by Sherri Hayes

OH NO! OH NO! OH NO!  I was so hoping this was the final installment of Finding Anna. But…..it’s not. DAMMIT!

We’re left with another cliffhanger. I understand why this cliffhanger had to happen, but REALLY? I need to know what happens! It’s killing me!

Truth picks up right where Need leaves off. Of course, Stephan, being the perfect guy, shows up in time to save Brianna from her dad. But it doesn't end there. Her dad is determined to get her back. All he ends up doing is causing problems. Stephan continues to pursue Ian Pierce, determined to make him pay. All that ends up doing is causing problems.

Along the way, Brianna continues to grow as a person. She’s becoming more confident and the nightmares are starting to fade. She’s still broken, but Stephan is working on that. So is Brianna.

Sherri Hayes has continued to amaze me with this series. It’s not the typical romance. It’s not typical BDSM. It’s not typical anything. This story is both heart-warming and disturbing at the same time. Heartwarming that Stephan and  Brianna have found each other.  Heartwarming because Stephan is gentle and kind and perfect for Brianna. Disturbing that anyone could do that to another human being. The things Brianna has suffered through are horrible and heart breaking. No one should ever go through something like that!

Stephan is amazing and little hard to believe. I mean he’s 24! No 24 year old I’ve ever met could do what Stephan has done. But then Stephan has never been the normal person. Brianna is amazing as well. She’s grown and blossomed under Stephan.

I really need the next book. I have to know what happened. This series is killing me! At some point I cry during every story. I also find myself cheering Brianna on. It’s amazing!

Bring on the next one!

If you have not read the first two books stop if you do not want spoilers, even minor ones.

For the last two months, Brianna has discovered something she never thought she would again, hope. After the horror of being Ian’s slave for ten months, a fate she never imagined she’d escape, it feels as if she is living a dream. She has freedom she hadn’t expected to have again, and she wakes up every morning not fearing what the day will bring. There is also Stephan. The man who saved her from the daily torture she had to endure at the hands of Ian and his friends. The same man who makes her heart race with just the thought of him. Life is good.

Outside forces are determined to conspire against them, however. When Brianna’s father shows up on her doorstep, it sends her world spiraling out of control. He brings with him new information about how Brianna ended up in Ian’s clutches, but will it make a difference? Will Stephan be able to find a way to make Ian pay for all he made Brianna suffer? As Brianna and Stephan try to find out the truth, their relationship is tested. She is forced to face her past head on, and deal with the ugly reality of what happened to her. Will Stephan’s love be enough to see her through her newest challenge, or will the fragile trust they’ve built come crumbling down around them as the truth makes itself known.

Truth starts off right where Need left off.  Brianna has grown in her emotional health in the short time that she has been with Stephan.  It seems like every time things finally start to work well for them, something or someone steps in and sets them back.  In a way it seems like they will never be able to build their relationship and the trust between the two of them.  Brianna still has a long way to go, even with the setbacks she is facing, she grows stronger every day.

The Finding Anna series is not your everyday BDSM books.  These books show the darker side to this lifestyle and the consequences when someone is pulled into BDSM without their consent.  I just recently read the first two books, Slave and Need in preparation of reading this book and I must say that if you have not read the first two books  you need to prior to starting Truth or you will be somewhat lost. 

Overall I am really liking this series, my only complaint would be the cliff hanger endings for each book, other than that I highly recommend that you add this series to your TBR piles!
