I have been following along this series for a while now and I was super excited to see how this book would turn out and i’m really happy to report that the answer is into a book that I really enjoyed reading.
I really enjoyed the romance and the set up for it. I’m a massive fan of second chance romances and I loved how it was done in this book. It was super cute and lovely and I really enjoyed reading it.
I also really liked the suspense elements in this one; they were super fun to read and I really enjoyed reading them.
This was a very fun and enjoyable read and I had a good time reading this one.

Piper has been indulging in a secret relationship with her bodyguard, Luca, and things took a turn when she heard him saying something that broke her heart, so she went on the run. She ended up landing in another country to heal & recover, and it's not going too well at the beginning, but luckily, there are people who are there for her & won't let her give up. Meanwhile, Luca is starting to really panic about not finding her as the months go by without any word, and he would do anything to fix what he broke. On top of all this pain, the danger to Piper's life has found where she landed so she's going to need help again, but Luca has finally found her so he's determined he won't let anything happen to her. This story was very fast paced despite our couple not being together through a lot of it, and the twists were popping off, and maybe just maybe, Piper & Luca will work it all out. I'm super excited for more in this series with that ending tease & HIGHLY HIGHLY HGIHLY RECOMMEND!

This is a brilliant romantic suspense that you won't be able to put down.
Piper thought she had everything until the one person she trusted let her down so she ran.
Now her life has changed and not for the good.
She has lost hope and her baby and is miles from home and the love of her life Luca.
Luca is trying to find Piper but she has disappeared and now months have passed.
Will he be able to find her before danger does.
So much drama and suspense but also plenty of heartbreak and tears but also so much love.
I can't wait for the next book.

Another chapter in this series, this is Piper and Luca's story. Loads of angst and loads of emotions for these two characters. It puts you right into their mindset, both high and low emotions, as a reader you are put through the gambit of feelings. There is still an overall threat throughout this series, but hopefully we are getting closer to finding out more with each and every book. Always a wild ride with this series. Totally love every single book.

I've loved this series since the beginning and this one delivers a well executed story. Secrets, lies, truths, suspense, danger, and second chances are some things that I liked about this one. I also liked the storyline, how it is consistent with everything that's happened, and what's currently present as the mysterious Sir continues on with his plan, plus the new enemies coming to the forefront. Then that ending, I didn't expect it. I was like what the..... I can't wait to see what's coming next, where it'll all go from here.

This is the 10th book in this incredible series and this is Luca and Piper’s story. Piper just wants to heal and recover from a loss, while Luca regrets what he said and shattered her heart.
This is a well written story which is an action packed, emotional roller coaster, with loss, regrets, truths, healing, secrets, lies, danger, suspense, intrigue, second chances, romance, heartbreak, tension, and loves, which leads to an entertaining, tragic, haunting, unpredictable, and steamy page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Piper and Luca go through so much from misunderstandings, loss, danger and threats. Piper has so much to overcome before she feels like she wants to get better. Luca is barely functioning after Piper leaves without a trace. We get some new characters and catch up with some old ones. The members of Securities International are still worried about Sir and if he will find them. I absolutely love this series and can't wait for the next installment.

This is one of my favorite series and I get so excited with each release. It’s superb storytelling with characters you invest time with and feel like you are right there, experiencing everything with them. This one is emotional and has all the drama and suspense I love. Piper and Luca are perfect with such a fiery connection. You went to read this one and will devour it. I could not put it down and want more.

Omg loved this book. Luca and piper were together in Scotland at si but when she overheard Luca say something she ran but danger got her right has she fled the compound now piper's been gone a year trying to heal but Luca never gave up looking for her. What will happen when he finally knows where she's at? Can they work everything out and be a happy couple? What will sir have in store for them next?

Such a good read. I have been waiting for Piper and Luca's story for awhile now and was not disappointed. It was a little emotional, but a really good second chance romance. It had me anticipating what would happen and had danger as well. Now I have even more questions about new characters that I hope will get answered in the next book. Can't wait! I received a review copy of this book and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

Piper and Luca story is going take you on an emotional journey. Their relationship has been keep as a secret for a few reasons but that not her only. Now on the run she will lose more than the love of her. But will he be able to win her back before something can happen to her. Their journey is twist and emotional. But definitely one you don’t want to miss. This series keeps getting better with each book.

OMG. I have been waiting for this story for so long, I needed to sit still and have the time to read it all the way through. And I was not disappointed. I feel like this story has sat in the background of so many others within this series, for so long, I just didn't know what to do with myself with it in my hands. I was not disappointed. So much emotion. Such a great page turner. My heart was all over the place. I love this series.

Oh my gosh this book! I love second chance romances and I was so amazingly pleased with Luca and Piper’s story. This story had a lot of emotion, with fabulous character chemistry and connection. It’s full of drama, action, danger, suspense, and an ending that left me wanting the next book as soon as possible. Great read!

Outstanding. Truth’s Kiss is so tragically beautiful that it truly hurts your heart only to heal it in the end. I absolutely love Luca and Piper’s story. The hurt, sorrow, pure love and tragedy is felt in every sentence. The suspense of not knowing what’s going to happen next literally keeps you on the edge of your seat and has you craving more. Another beautiful story E.M. Shue!!

Short circuited my emotions
Piper, one of the Securities International kids, has been forced to keep her relationship with Luca, a Securities International bodyguard, a secret and that is not the only secret she is keeping . As the story progresses harsh words are spoken, she runs with a heart that is broken, and winning her back will require more than a token. Truth’s Kiss short circuited my emotions. Knowing how this book starts from previous books in the series did not lessen the impact on my emotions.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

I've been a fan of Securities International for a while & EM Shue did not disappoint with this story! I cried a few times, threw my Kindle once or twice-its just all the emotions EM's characters give you! Got some answers, but now I have more questions waiting for the next book!

A very emotional story that is heartbreaking, especially for mothers. The characters are wonderful and you truly see how they change and grow throughout the story. This book is a beautifully written piece of art and I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense books.
August 22, 2023
Wow ! On a scale of 5 stars I give it a 12 ! Strong characters and in-depth plot . I could feel what Piper was going through and Lucas pain was well explained in the book . This series stays true to the plot and characters .

Truth's Kiss is book ten in the Securities International series and is Luca and Piper's book. This is an emotional romantic suspense that I really enjoyed reading. I have read this series since book one and to see how 5hese stories and characters evolve is amazing. I am excited to read more.
August 23, 2023
Wow this story really had me going from start to finish. I don’t ever think I have read an entire book with tears in my eyes the whole time. Piper and Luca are intense but soooo worth every moment of heartbreak and passion. My chest is still burning with the intensity of this story!
August 22, 2023
Loved this book, beginning to end. I was anxious to see what would happen with Piper, so many emotions and struggles she had to go through. A great read!
