Release & Review for T​HE TEMPTATION OF TRUTH ​by Brit Benson




THE TEMPTATION OF TRUTH

Brit Benson

Release Date: November 14


Meet Brit Benson:

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she's not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she's getting lost in someone else's fictional world. When she's not doing that, she's probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.

Blurb:

Loving her will ruin my life,  

But I’m tired of living a lie. 

 

Mabel Rossi is the heartbeat of The Hometown Heartless. 

The famous drummer with fast hands, faster wit, 

and a light that shines brightly even from the back of the stage.

She’s temptation in lipstick and lace, and I’m just her manager’s niece.

Married, invisible, and completely out of place.

 

Taking the job on tour was supposed to be a harmless adventure.

Now that I’m here, far from home and my husband, 

I’m starting to remember who I was before I lost everything, 

and it’s Mabel who I have to thank.

 

Between stolen glances and whispered truths,

She coaxes me from the darkness, 

Until I can no longer hide from the lies I’ve buried under the life I don’t want.

 

I’m married to a man I’ve never loved.

She’s so far out of reach it hurts to even want her.

But in quiet hotel hallways and backstage corners,

I start to crave things I shouldn’t.

 

Even if it’s reckless. Even if it’s wrong.

Because with Mabel, I start to feel alive again.

When she touches me, the fog lifts,

And suddenly, I’m not so scared of tearing it all down just to feel the sun.


This is a new author for us, and we enjoyed our first read by them. The author created intense emotional experiences that draw readers in and keep them engaged. Aurora, the band manager's niece, is brought in to tutor Brynn, the daughter of Sav and Levi. Aurora is trapped in an abusive marriage and finds solace and support within the band, especially from Mabel, the drummer, who has her own struggles. Mabel and Aurora's friendship blossoms into something more, as they support each other through their personal growth and healing. The story explores themes of self-discovery, forgiveness, and finding true love and acceptance. The connection between Mabel and Aurora is deep and soulful, transcending physical attraction. The book also delves into the importance of found family and the power of unconditional love. Mabel and Aurora's relationship is a testament to the transformative power of love and acceptance. The series concludes with a message of empowerment and self-love, highlighting the characters' strength and resilience. Typically, we don't read these kinds of stories, but we stepped out of our comfort zone, and we are glad we did, as this was a heartfelt, emotional read for us.
