Laina Kelly realized she couldn't marry the man standing at the alter waiting for her. She felt relieved when she thought about not seeing him again. She ran to the first place that came to mind, who just so happens to be the man that was her first love, Luke Marshall. 

Luke Marshall let Laina go because he felt that he would hold her back, his life didn't allow her to spread her wings and fly. Now six years later, he walks into his cabin and Laina is there, he feels it is finally his chance to show her how he feels keeping her in his life. 

I loved reading Laina and Luke's story, these two get each other and were able to truly find each other again. I loved how Laina continued to "spy" on Luke to see how he was doing. This Much is True is a fast read but it is written so well you are pulled in and you can't help but love the characters. I loved how she realized the people who were supposed to be closest to her were there for nefarious reasons, so she took steps to rebuild her team who would work to help her build her vision. As Laina took charge of her career and life, she worked on herself and figured out how to be in a nurturing/loving relationship with the one man that she could never forget.

Received ARC in exchange for voluntary honest review from Adriana Locke and Valentine PR.
