Behind His Eyes - Truth (Consequences #5)
by Aleatha Romig
BEHIND
HIS EYES TRUTH is the second of CONSEQUENCES SERIES three reading companions, by
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig. It is recommended
to be read after completing all of the CONSEQUENCES SERIES:
Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. It is not a standalone book and should not
be read as such.
This
reading companion explores the thoughts and motivations of Anthony Rawlings and
his struggle to accept the truth behind the consequences. It is not intended as a total rewrite of TRUTH,
but meant to enhance the reader’s understanding. BEHIND HIS EYES TRUTH contains
significant scenes from the novel TRUTH, as experienced from Anthony’s point of
view. It also contains never before read, behind the scenes information, a
glossary of the characters, and a timeline which grows from Consequences to
include the array of new characters and revelations found in the pages of Truth.
BEHIND
HIS EYES TRUTH is the continued journey inside the mind of the man who supplied
and survived the consequences. This companion allows readers the opportunity to
witness first hand as Anthony’s world changes forever. His rules and control
begin to slip away, threatened by the most unlikely foes—something completely
unfamiliar.
Can
something as pure as love and forgiveness wreak havoc on his well-planned
existence?
BEHIND
HIS EYES TRUTH, because there is more to learn about a 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

the long and painful acquisition, as the TRUTH becomes evident, from Behind His
Eyes!

EXCERPT
Glancing
at the numerous pictures from his years of surveillance, Tony wondered if he
and Claire had come full circle. Would it
be like this again? Would his only connection to her be through this new investigator?
Would he only see Claire in two dimensions? Tony searched for their
contract, the beginning of their personal journey together. He knew it wouldn’t
be that easy again. If he were to get her back to Iowa and into his life, it
wouldn’t be because of a signature on a napkin.
Then
he shook his head. He didn’t want her back, did he? Hell, the lack of sleep was
making him sentimental. He stopped his search. The damn contract was no longer
valid; it never had been—legally. Pushing the box back into its hideaway, he
contemplated throwing it all away. Having her back wasn’t his goal; learning
her location was. She had no right to disappear.
With
the necklace in his hand, Tony settled upon the soft leather sofa in front of
his fireplace. If Phillip Roach were correct, in a few moments he’d hear the
voice that used to fill his suite and his house. When her voice came through
his phone, Tony wanted to feel her
presence. He imagined the sound as he looked up at her wedding portrait and saw
the emerald green that haunted his dreams. What
did he want to hear? He wanted to know she was safe and unharmed. He wanted
to know where she was, and he also wanted to bring her back to Iowa—because
that was where she belonged.
It
didn’t make sense. To the world she was the woman who tried to kill him. To
Tony she was more than that. The past twenty hours had proven it. She was his
drug. Claire Nichols ran through his system like ecstasy, sending him on
otherwise unobtainable highs. He reasoned that lows followed highs, and she’d
given him those, too; they’d given them to each other. Nevertheless, without
the right stimulant, the euphoria could never again be achieved. Whether it was
elation or misery, neither would be obtainable without the exhilarating potency
of Claire. He didn’t want an empty envelope. He wanted her. Nathaniel was
wrong: Claire wasn’t gone; she was just misplaced.
For
the last twenty-four hours, his entire being had surged with anticipation.
Claire may not understand it—hell, Tony didn’t understand it, but he couldn’t
deny it. Now that she was gone, he needed her back in his life, and he would
have her.
My 5 Star Review:
Something to know about this book. It is not a standalone, rather it is a companion to the Consequences Series. You would need to read the entire series of Consequences to understand this book.
One thing I love about Aleatha is her ability to write the entire Consequences series and then turn around and write this companion series Of Consequences Behind His Eyes All from Tony's Point of View. She keeps you intrigued, She has got everything together and the story follows amazingly. There are no hiccups at all where things do not make sense. She has brought things together from Tony's point of view Beautifully.
In this Book we get more from Tony's point of view and we start off with Claire and her pardon. We see first hand in the mind of the controller how it was for him to not be in control and finding out weeks later about Claire's pardon sends Tony on a spiral of trying to gain his control back.
I loved getting the parts from Truth in Tony's point of view. He is the Most intense man I have ever had the pleasure of reading about. In this one we get so much more intensity from Tony. We see just how manipulated he truly is. Watching him come undone was remarkable in itself. In the end watching Tony actually have feelings and the change that comes to him was amazing. He truly does have a heart and you know he truly does love Claire. He will stop at nothing to prove to her that he does truly love her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her as his wife.
I can not wait for the next installment and some more of being inside of Tony's head.

OMG I really want to win this. If not it is alright. I will be seeing her in July at the Southern Girls Author Event. I am so jealous of you Chris. I need to get to reading. I have the book. But like I mentioned to someone else just now. I need time to sit and read a book that isn't for a blog tour.
