Hidden Truths

Linsey Mombert

Dad liked to say that I was antisocial. I wasn’t. I’m not. I’ve just always been . . . socially awkward.

“I ended up preferring books to people.”

“He said he looked inside and found a bunch of paperbacks with naked men on the covers, and now, he thinks you read porn.”

 “Some of those books do set really high standards.”

“But you need to keep one thing in mind. If I’m right, and Sergei for some reason thinks he needs to protect you, he won’t be reasonable.”

“I mean, he will kill every person he feels may be of any kind of threat to you. Real or imagined.”

I squeeze her to me and bury my nose in her hair again, and for the first time in years, I feel like I might be okay.

Again a very easy read, that I Finished in one sitting! It’s just very nice to sit down with one of her books. I loved the relationship between Angelina and Sergei. It was nice to read how only she could get him out of his episodes and how their bond grew! This story also made me laugh from time to time so that was nice

SHE CANT MISS, NOT A SINGLE ONE. This one is about the Mexican cartel/mafia, Angelina, and Russian mafia, Sergei. I freaking love them both so much. The unhingedness of them both made them both probably my favorite characters out of this entire series. They’re so so funny and cute and the fact that she knows he’s crazy and doesn’t care makes it all the better.

I have 53 highlights from this book! It is a sweet, no-brainer, and an easy read. Out of the 4 books in this series, this one's the funniest. Do recommend!

“That would be me,” Felix calls over his shoulder. “Sergei’s take on a Batman joke. He thinks he’s witty.”

I raise my eyebrows. “Wasn’t that Alfred? In the movie?”

“Yes, but he says that Alfred sounds aristocratic and I’m not sophisticated enough for it. So he changed it to Albert.”

“Oh, well . . . that makes sense, I guess.”

Russian mafia/ grumpy&sunshine/ protector 

This one is good but it was some kind of insta love there is no real connection between then that you can see while it forms He sees her he likes her he want to protect her kind of thing and she is like l someone who can relate to him on some level. And kinda Naive enough to stay with him. The main problem is just nothing really which is frustrating

Other than that it’s good

Sergei and Angeline were so cute! I loved how everyone said she should get away from him and treated him like an animal and she didn't give a shit. She was there for him no matter what she heard about him or witnessed.

The way she talked him out of his episodes made my heart flutter and the epilogue made it stop altogether, it was ADORABLE.

The killing evey possible threat no matter if it was irrational or not was so hot as well👀 Although I did feel sorry for the man who accidentally stumbled into her. Poor guy was scrared shitless while being on the brink of the death. Rightfully so haha Sergei was not having it.

Loved it

This review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review.

Hidden Truths is the third intsallment in the "Perfectly Imperfect" series. I absolutely adored this book and I really admire the way that this author writes disability in romance, its so well done. In this one the diverse aspects are the heroine being of latin descent and then our hero suffering from some aspects of mental illness and PTSD of being forced into being an assassin as a teenager. This is a mafia romance, as our hero works in the mafia and there is an instant connection between these two and seeing the way in which they are able to connect was so endearing and empowering.

Our heroine, after seeing her father murdered and being forced into an marriage and starving herself, she manages to escape with the help of her nanny, and where she is then rescued by Sergei and is taken to his home where he keeps her as he knows that she is keeps secrets from him and he is determined to find the truth behind it all. What he comes to the realization is that she is need of protection. But as they start to learn each other, they also will have to face the fact that she has an enemy that will use Sergei to make her submit to them. But Sergei isn't one of the most dangerous men in the world for no reason, and he will fight for his woman no matter the cost...

I absolutely adored this book here, it was so well done. Every time I read this author, I am always amazed in how much I fall in love with her books. I especially love the way in which she writes mafia romance and the delicate way in which she handles disabilities and it's done in such a flawless genuine way. In this one, we are dealing with mental illness and struggles. I really felt for the hero and all that he has had to deal with. But the way in which he connects with the heroine, was endearing. The way in which she connects with him and can draw him out of his "episodes" in a way that no one else can just seemed to work so well for them. I loved how badass our hero is though, he definitely can take care of himself and from beginning to end I was so drawn into their story and their beautiful romance.

I found Hidden Truths to be an addicting, tugging at the emotions, and leaving you breathless type of romance that will definitely be going on the keeper shelf!
