From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a new novel about risking everything for loveβand finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies.
Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and thereβs no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesnβt expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.
For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.
The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he canβt seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sinβ¦
BookBud’s Thoughts
OMG!!!
Losing love.
Love born from love.
Love found again for it only to be taken away because of envy and power.
Love is sacrifice.
Love overcoming all.
Owen Mason Gentry: Owen is an artist using other peopleβs confessions to make his paintings.
Auburn Mason Reed: Auburn is a woman whom fate has drawn to Confessionβs door looking for a job.
Fate brought Owen and Auburn together. After finding out more about one another how could they have any doubt? Their connection via confessions is something that only fate can do. They were both tested and both sacrificed much on behalf of loved ones, but the sacrifice at the end made them both miserable and see that it was doing more harm than good.
Confess had everything that Colleen is famous for: a great story, an even greater love story, two people fighting to be together, people trying to keep them apart, secrets, and side characters that youβre either going to love or love to hate. I would have to say that in Confess I wound up hating only 2 of the side characters. Oh and please let us not forget the ability to make us cry in all her books.
This is my confession:
When I read a book that will leave me emotionally drained after reading it. I cry like a baby.
