Behind His Eyes Truth, for more insight into the man who:

“Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule. He forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul.”
—Aleatha Romig, CONVICTED

 

MY REVIEW

Welcome to the Dark Side - Part 2

“You can’t lose everything until you have everything to lose.”

During the book “Truth”, Tony got everything he wanted in his life before he even realized that he wanted them.

Claire managed to get out of prison with the help of her friends and miserable Tony has found a purpose in his life:

-He had to win Claire back.
-He had to grovel.
-He had to say “I am sorry” and admit that he was wrong to his best friends.
-He had to beg Claire to come back without scaring her and without kidnapping her and locking her in her room. Without offering her a contract on a paper napkin.
-He had to bargain for his happiness. Not for his fortune and his billions worth companies.
-And he had to take it easy with his revenge, i.e. he had to stop ordering murderers to kill people!

It was a pleasure this time for me diving into Tony’s mind.
It was a pleasure seeing this powerful and arrogant man who had never said “please” in his life, now pleaded with Claire. Begging her to accept him back and meaning it with the most sincere emotions.
I loved seeing that Claire was winning personal battles and Tony was really astonished and pleased.

Until Tony lost everything again. And he found them at an isolated tropical island.

Obviously this book is not a standalone and if you are reading it, you already know what happened between Claire and Tony.

Highly recommended for all the series fans!
