Review: The Truth About Him by Molly O'Keefe

For fans of Christina Lauren and Jodi Ellen Malpas comes the next novel in M. O’Keefe’s breathtakingly sexy series about a woman called into a journey of the heart, body, and soul.

We played our roles, told each other lies.

But now Dylan is no longer just a mysterious deep voice on the other end of the line. We’re face-to-face and our relationship is very, very real.

We still have secrets—but so much is crystal clear:

The thrilling danger.

The raw, naked desire.

The need to keep feeling the way he makes me feel. Forever.

Dylan is putting up walls, trying to keep me safe, but he can’t shut me out. He has seen my darkness and rescued me. Now it’s my turn, if only he will let me.

My Review

The Truth About Him is the second novel in Everything I Left Unsaid series.

My first thought when I started reading this novel was ‘Yay, Dylan’s point of view is now in first person’.  In the first novel I wanted to get inside Dylan’s head and find out what he truly wanted but couldn’t. So I was so glad that I finally could. But then I realized Annie’s point of view was in third person as opposed to first like the first novel. I felt sort of cheated again. Another drawback was that this novel had a slower pace than what I would have preferred.

What O’Keefe did a great job of, was creating characters that became real through her writing. She made them complex and created chemistry between Dylan and Annie. The intimate scenes were written really well and were sexy. My favorite character has to be Dylan, with his hard exterior but caring demeanor. I also liked that some of the questions from the previous novel were answered. Overall a good read.

I give The Truth About Him 3 out of 5 stars.

About Author

Molly O'Keefe has always known she wanted to be a writer (except when she wanted to be a florist or a chef and the brief period of time when she considered being a cowgirl). And once she got her hands on some romances, she knew exactly what she wanted to write.

She published her first Harlequin romance at age 25 and hasn't looked back. She loves exploring every character's road towards happily ever after.

Originally from a small town outside of Chicago, she went to university in St. Louis where she met and fell in love with the editor of her school newspaper. They followed each other around the world for several years and finally got married and settled down in Toronto, Ontario. They welcomed their son into their family in 2006, and their daughter in 2008. When she's not at the park or cleaning up the toy room, Molly is working hard on her next novel, trying to exercise, stalking Tina Fey on the internet and dreaming of the day she can finish a cup of coffee without interruption.
