When the world believes the lies, who can you trust with the truth?
Vilified celebrity Jackson Young stands accused of a murder he didn't commit. Desperate to clear his name as the world turns against him, he finds solace in the unlikeliest of allies.
Journalist Fletcher Doherty, relegated to the gossip columns, is handed the most explosive story of his career. The catch? It's about Jackson Young, a man he's publicly condemned.
Forced to put aside their animosity for the sake of the story, Fletcher and Jackson grow closer with each encounter. But neither is prepared for the irresistible pull that lands them in bed together.
Yet, in a world where betrayal lurks behind every headline, who truly is the enemy?
Falling for his book's subject could be fatal for Fletcher. And Jackson knows better than to trust a journalist, especially one who's built a career on tearing him down.

Fade to Blank:
This is an introduction to Fletcher and Jackson.
Jackson is a fallen celebrity accused of killing his girlfriend. Fletcher is a journalist stuck in a gossip column job. His previous interaction with Jackson causes Jackson to choose Fletcher to help prove his innocence.
This first book gives a lot of background into both Fletcher and Jackson and their lives. It also sets up the question of who actually murdered Tallulah and why.
Hide to Seek:
Fletcher is committed to writing Jackson's biography. The only problem is there's a lack of trust between the two. They have an attraction to each other that keeps them invested in each other. Situations get intense and both feel they need to go into hiding. This leads them to Ireland where Fletcher's family has a farm.
This part of the story gives a lot of Fletcher's background and previous relationships with family and his ex. But then they are found and everything gets extremely intense. This story highlights Fletcher's choice between family and Jackson.
Bring to Light:
The build-up of the first two books to this part was really intense and held my attention all the way through. This final part was beyond intense. At times I had to take a breather before I continued.
Jackson and Fletcher continue trying to bring everyone to justice for what's been done and to clear Jackson's name. While they're in danger trying to find the truth and the proof to support what they know, plenty of violence happens. Then there's also the two of them trying to figure out what relationship they really have.
There's a lot going on with the secondary characters. I kept wondering how much they could actually get away with.
I really enjoyed the way the author brought everything together but boy it was a rough ride. I can't wait to see what's next.
The narration by Piers Ryman brought out the perfect accents and emotions for this story.
Hotly gripping

In the murky world of show business, nothing is as it seems and there is much money to be had. Where big money is involved, the people who have it will go to any lengths to protect it, including blackmail, kidnap, rape and murder.
At the start of the first book we meet Jackson, a big tv star who, along with his co-star Chris, grew up in front of the cameras, loved by the nation. Except, he’s just spent six months in prison, having been accused of the murder of his girlfriend.
On release, because of lack of evidence for the crime, he tracks down a journalist, who Jackson hopes will write his side of the story. However, this rookie journalist Fletcher, a gossip columnist for a magazine, was one of the last people who saw Jackson the night of Tules’ death and happened to be the same journalist that Jackson punched for giving his theatre performance a bad review.
Fletcher agrees to writing Jackson’s biography, though neither of them knew at that point how deep and how bad things behind the scenes really were. While digging into Jackson’s story Fletcher finds that he has to pick a side. But who is telling the truth? And who can he trust? Lines get blurred between writer and subject, to becoming friends and maybe more.
This trilogy takes us on a road with so many twists and turns and a few blind alleys. If you think you’ve got it worked out, then think again, not everything is as it seems. If you’re like me, you’ll be shouting at the (whatever device you’re listening to this on) in frustration and at times you’ll be dialling up the anxiety to eleven.
This is an awesome story. It starts off slow, with a lot of character and plot building However, it is so incredibly well written and so well narrated that it’s worth your time. Piers Ryman’s accents are second to none and he really puts everything into his story telling. Set a day or two aside as once you start the first part you’ll need to know what happens in this suspense trilogy.
