It`s A Small World...,
By
This review is from: Truth Be Told (Paperback)
Soria Livingston makes her living as a stripper. Soon after she sleeps with one of the patrons, she finds out that she is pregnant. She is ready to have an abortion, but at the persistence of her mother she decides to have the baby. Unfortunately, when baby Remmi is born, Soria wants nothing to do with the child.
When an unexpected windfall of money comes to her, Soria needs to make a choice between being the mother that her daughter deserves and needs or living the life she always dreamed of...the glamorous life. Fast forward...years later, Remmi works as a junior partner at one of the most prestigious law firms in Atlanta with a crazy ex-boyfriend in the shadows. It was a business relationship that turns into an unexpected love. This is where events take a drastic turn. You will soon see...it is a small world after all. TRUTH BE TOLD by Skye Warner & Elisa Brandon was an interesting read to say the least. While reading this story, I noticed it had many gaps throughout the story. For example: Soria is pregnant... Soria has the baby... skip ahead eight years and then it skips right to the college graduation of Soria's daughter Remmi. The story was missing the key points of what was happening in between the plot. Truth be told...the story was somewhat predictable, and I felt the synopsis on the back of the book pretty much sums up the story. All in all this was just an okay read. Reviewed by Leona R.

(3.5 stars) Double Dutch,
This review is from: Truth Be Told (Paperback)
They say that money is the root to evilness. Well for Soria Livingston, that just may be true. Once a stripper, Soria befriends a wealthy benefactor named Lawrence that alters her life. Soria has grown to crave the difference Lawrence has made in her life, but it quickly vanishes and she later learns that she's with child. Not one to have ever wanted children, Soria doesn't want to continue the pregnancy. However, her mother convinces her to keep the baby and she does. But after the birth, her connection to the child ends. Depressed and unable to accept that Lawrence is willing to provide for the child but doesn't want her, Soria keeps a safe distance from her daughter Remmi. Years later, Soria learns that Lawrence has died and left his total net worth to his daughter. Always dreaming of being successful, Soria can do everything she's always wanted to do. Selfishness takes over and instead of Soria being able to see that things could be better for all of them, she quickly becomes all about herself.
Remmi Livingston has a wonderful grandmother named Millie who has been both mother and father to her. While she's often wondered about her parents, she'd never want to hurt her grandmother by asking. Thankfully, Remmi has lived an enriching life. After passing the bar exam, Remmi decides that it's time to flee the nest and relocate from Florida to Georgia. A natural, she quickly navigates the ladder of success and is making a name for herself. There was an instant connection between her and her boss Joshua Braune. But Remmi knows that pleasure in the workplace wouldn't be a wise thing. Unfortunately, her heart wants what the heart wants and Joshua is also feeling the vibes. Truth Be Told tells the story of a mother and daughter who are worlds apart. Initially the story was off to a very slow start; however, it did pick up. And while I like the concept behind Truth Be Told, it easily becomes repetitive. At 228 pages, I was able to finish the book in one sitting. I wish the authors would've concluded the story versus throwing this into the sequel category, especially since the story ends right as the plot thickens. Sometimes it's best to finish the story and then, if warranted, revisit the characters. Also, Truth Be Told does have editing issues as the authors commonly use the wrong words (trimester in reference to semester, mourne instead of moan, and bear instead of bare). I hope that this doesn't become a waiting game and that the book is properly edited for the next episode. Reviewed by Nardsbaby for Urban Reviews
