Short Summary of the book:

This book is a little confusing in places. We look at a couple who wish to be together, but both are not telling the full truth to the other or themselves. Can their loves survive? Truth also plays a character within this book.

What I liked about the book:

The book dragged you in after a while, wishing to know what is next. The character of truth however played some interference.

What I didn’t like about the book:

The ending. The author described it as a cliff-hanger in the blurb. The ending was abrupt, too abrupt for my liking.

My favourite bits in the book:

The book was enjoyable.

My least favourite bits in the book:

I enjoyed the entire book.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

I believe this is the first in a series.

What books could this be compared to and why?

I’m not sure what books to compare this one to.

Recommendation:

Adult Yes

If you like romance novels, this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Set in the not-so-distant future, Masked Intent follows the new, shaky romance between a divorced mom with three sons and a younger college professor. When ghosts from their pasts reappear, they come face-to-face with the emotional wreckage that was locked down and lay dormant inside them both for years. As it turns out, the ghosts aren't the biggest threats to their budding love. It's the lies they've lived and accepted for themselves as truth that have the potential to break them apart.

Told through a series of seemingly disconnected vignettes narrated by Truth personified, Masked Intent examines our relationship with the truth and each other in a world where honesty and authenticity take back seat to the power of influence.

Masked Intent is the first installment in The Morality Plays Series and ends in a cliffhanger. The story concludes in Intents + Purposes, which publishes in early 2022.
