Blog Tour - Innocence & Betrayal (Hidden Truths, #2) by Brittney Sahin

 Innocence & Betrayal
Hidden Truths, #2
by Brittney Sahin
Releasing March 1st 2016
Self-Published 

From The Book Junkie Reads . . .
Innocence & Betrayal dare I say go hand and hand.  I found a little something between the lines and on every page. I wanted answers. I was begging for results.

Aiden was what every other Irish born male could dream of hottness. Sexy brogue. Independent. Protective. Ava needed every thing he had to offer and more. There was a misted veil around her work and the one night she decides to let it all go. She needed help to get to the bottom of it all.

What I loved most about this read was that there were no cliffhangers. No dragging the story out for multiple books of a single series. There was answers. There were results. There was chemistry. There was suspense. I want very much to go back and see if book one of the series will be this satisfying.

Hidden Truths have me looking forward to the next installment. Because I will be reading book one in the series tonight.

Innocence & Betrayal - Hidden Truths, #2


BLURB
Reserved biochemist Ava Daniels has spent the last six months working on a top secret assignment for Homeland Security. One morning, after a night of finally letting loose, she discovers her lab empty and her boss missing. Interrogated by the very organization she works for, followed by unknowns, and attacked, Ava finds herself in search of answers as the clock winds down.

Aiden O’Connor, Irish born and raised, attempted to put his past behind him when he opened a bar in the heart of Boston. Until one night, when Ava Daniels shows up asking for help. She is like no other woman he has ever met—breathtakingly beautiful, brilliant, and in terrible danger. Once he learns the true nature of her problem, Aiden realizes she is the key to unlock his past . . . and perhaps to get a second chance.

Innocence & Betrayal, Book 2 of the Hidden Truths series, is a stand-alone novel that features appearances from some of your favorite characters in Book 1: Silenced Memories.

Hidden Truths is a new romantic suspense series, which features ex-Marines in these stand-alone novels--no cliffhangers. To avoid spoilers though, it is recommended that the books be read in order, as characters make cameo appearances in other novels. Each book in the series is riddled with mystery and romance, as lies and corruption are unraveled to reveal the truth.

 “But maybe I need the protection.” Ava swallowed as his eyes glinted at her.


Aiden steadied a hand under her chin, tilting her head up to face him. “I have to be honest. I don’t give a damn about Henry. I don’t know the man. But I don’t like the idea of something happening to you.”

“And why is that?” She couldn’t breathe. His mere presence had captured all the oxygen in the room.

“Call me crazy, but I’ve got a weakness for a damsel in distress.” There was a hint of a smile in his eyes as his thumb brushed over her lips.

“Who are you?” she whispered.

He took a step back; his hand dropped. “I own the pub, you know.”

“And before that?”

He opened his mouth for a brief moment before snapping it closed. “You should get some rest. We’ll brainstorm a plan in the morning.”

She looked down at the bed and back at Aiden. “Um.”

“No worries, love. I’ve got the couch.”

The hideous blue couch beneath the window didn’t look comfortable at all, but she didn’t argue, because she knew she’d never be able to sleep if they shared the same bed. “I wish I had some clothes.” She pressed her hand against the side of her jeans. Her thighs ached from being constricted all day.

Her eyes widened as Aiden removed his white T-shirt from over his head.

“It’s long enough to cover your arse. And more comfortable than your jeans, I’m sure.”

Ava’s gaze was glued to his hard, rippling flesh, no matter how much she knew she should look away. The memory of his body, fighting at the gym, flashed into her mind, and she finally pulled her eyes up to meet his. Without realizing it, her fingers reached to touch the scar on his brow. “Is that from boxing?”

His hand caught her wrist and he removed her touch. “Something like that. Now get some shut eye.”

“What will you sleep in?” she asked before heading to the bathroom to change. He’d already seen her in her “knickers,” as he would call them, but that didn’t mean she was going to parade around nude.

“Boxers, if that’s okay? But I’ll wait ’til the lights are out to drop my pants.”

She turned around to find a smirk on his lips and a twinkle in his eyes; no doubt connected to a mischievous thought. “I think it’s only fair that I get to see you undressed, since you’ve seen me basically naked.” Where had that come from? Had her twin sister just leaped inside her head and taken control?

“I don’t exactly play fair.” Aiden quirked an eyebrow.

A genuine smile on her own lips caught her off guard. And then she shut the bathroom door.
