My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 3 in the series Tessa and Jordan. I have not read any of the rest of this series. This book was wonderful. Cade and Lindy’s story had me completely hooked. I could not put it down. I loved Lindy and how strong and determined she is. She is a force to be reckoned with that Cade quickly discovers.

Cruel Truths
By: T. Christensen

This was such a fun and easy to read enemies to lovers office romance! This is a trope that I generally enjoy and this one definitely delivered on my expectations.
This story sucks you in from the opening sentences where we meet Lindy who has a dream of being a fashion designer. The only thing standing in her way is Cade Kinglsey, who is her boss. It is clear that this working relationship is going to be anything but fun. However, beneath his prickly facade a lot is hiding and that’s where the fun really begins.
I truly enjoyed the characters in this story. Lindy is well developed and she truly just comes to life off of the page. She is a strong female lead, but it isn’t over the top or in your face, it just comes across as a driven individual who is working toward a dream. Cade was also a very interesting character and I’ll be honest I had very mixed feelings about him, but he definitely kept the story interesting. I definitely recommend picking up this quick and fun read!

Cruel Truths was a quick and thoroughly enjoyable enemies-to-lovers office romance!

I was completely hooked from the opening pages of this book. Lindy has a dream to become a fashion designer, and she has worked hard to make that dream come true. Now, it seems she might actually have a chance to get her foot in the door of the fashion company she wants to be a part of. The only thing standing in her way is Cade Kingsley, her new boss. After their first meeting, it’s apparent their working relationship is full of fireworks and not in a good way! She refers to him as Mr. A (if you catch my drift). And, Cade really lives up to that name. Things become complicated when she gets another job duty, “fake girlfriend.” These two soon discover that sparks fly in another way outside of the office, and I loved watching every minute of them falling for one another.

Lindy captured my attention from the very beginning. Her personality jumps right off the pages of the book and brings her to life, and believe me, she has a bigger-than-life personality. She is one of the strongest female characters I have come across in a while. Her childhood was much different than Cade’s, and I loved the way that she reminded Cade that not everyone was as privileged as he was. She was loyal and loved her family, and Cade was able to use that to get Lindy to bend to his will. Lindy was also not afraid to be brutally honest with him. Beneath that strong exterior, she was also vulnerable and not really trusting of men. So, when she allowed the walls to fall from around her heart, it was a beautiful thing to see.

Cade captured my attention as well and not in a good way…at first. I, like Lindy, found him cold and an A. At the same time, I was also intrigued about the mystery of who he REALLY was. Sometimes, I felt like he took advantage of Lindy’s love of her family and used it to benefit him. But, he did say he always got what he wanted, and he wanted her. As time went on, his vulnerabilities also were exposed. Despite his controlling nature, I got to see the sweet side of him in the way he showed his affection and love for Lindy.

I am a huge fan of enemies-to-lovers romances, and the push and pull between Lindy and Cade is why I always keep coming back for more. In the beginning, it was hard to tell if these two even liked each other. I enjoyed the way they pushed each other’s buttons, and in the end, I loved the people they became. I have read some of T. Christensen’s other books but not in this series, and now, I can’t wait to go back and read the previous books in the series. Her sister, Tessa, and her complicated relationship with her husband really piqued my interest! If you love a complicated alpha male and a gutsy woman who pushes his buttons, then give Lindy and Cade a try. I think you will come to love them just as much as I did.

This is the 3rd book of the Tessa and Jordan series. As with the other books in the series the author gets you hooked from page one. The story flows well and even though it is quick paced you don’t feel lost, nor do you feel like you are missing any kind of information. Although the characters may seem to dislike each other you can see their connection and how it becomes stronger as their relationship develops. Even though this is part of a series you could read this as a standalone. Come and enjoy the story of how Cade and Lindy started off rocky, but pulled it together enough to discover that they had more in common than they thought.

Cruel Truths (Tessa and Jordan #3)Cruel Truths by T. Christensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author is amazing. There are times that you can feel the emotions dripping off the page and soaking into your skin. Like when Cade said what he said when Lindy gave him the birthday present. That was like Wow-wow-wowwy-wow!

Lindy Garcia moved away from everyone and everything she knew to pursue her dreams in the fashion industry. She is finally getting a small shot when she decides to interview for a personal assistant position with Cade Kingsley, CEO of Kingsley Marketing. This will give Lindy the business and marketing experience she needs to open her own line some day.

Cade Kingsley is a determined man set in his ways. Something about Lindy drives him wild. He isn’t sure if it is the way she doesn’t back down to him, the way she puts him in his place, or her killer curves. The only problem is that Cade doesn’t know if Lindy likes him for him or his connections, especially once Lindy figures out who his mother is.

As Lindy and Cade grow closer, Cade gets hung up on the ghosts of his past. These ghosts threaten not only his future with Lindy but her future in the fashion world. Will Cade overcome his past?

The characters in the book are real. The emotions are genuine and palpable. This is my first book in the series and I am now hooked. I will be finding the others in this series. I want to know more. I want there to be more. I need more.

The tension between Lindy and Cade you could cut with a butter knife! It gave me chills when they interacted with each other. Cade is Lindy’s new boss at her fashion job, and man does he not make it easy for her. Lindy does not take it lying down though and she dishes it right back. She has learned to keep her emotions in check and on a very tight leash, but man does Cade make her lose her control. Once Cade figures out that her family is a way to get her to agree to being his fake girlfriend, she has no choice but agree to his demands. I loved the story-telling and writing, it drew me in from the first word. I’m definitely going to be reading the other books in this series!

Lindy Garcia was raised to speak her mind and to follow her dreams. Wanting to become a fashion designer and when she lands a job as Cade Kingsley’s assistant at fashion company it is a dream come true. That is until her boss opens his mouth, he is a grump, he is curt, he is rude the list can go one. Lindy has always had a fiery temper and unfortunately for Cade he pushes every button and her temper oozes. Imagine her surprise when Cade wants her to be his pretend girlfriend, he is opinionated about everything and although Lindy would like to say she is not attracted to him, he lights a fire in her. What happens when pretend turns to something more?

There is so much more to this story that I am not even describing. I liked this one a lot, the chemistry is there and Cade has his reasons for why he is a jerk, but when you see some of that hard edge soften you want more. If you love an enemies of to lovers book, this is one to pick up.

Cruel Truths: A Grumpy Boss – Enemies to Lovers Romance (Tessa and Jordan Book 3)

I didn’t realize how much I missed Tessa, the Moms and Lindy until I started reading this book. There were some different views of the Tessa & Jordan issues and we get to know Lindy a lot better.

Chase was a grumpy, grumpy man and was determined to make Lindy’s life at work as difficult as possible and he does a great job all while fighting the attraction between the two of them.

There was definitely a lot of love/hate going on between but them which kept me reading and frustrated me at the same time. A lot of times the angsty books don’t do it for me, but there is something about the way this book and series were written that wouldn’t allow me to put it down.

⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

Cruel Truths is the third installment of the Tessa & Jordan series. Although part of a series, it can easily be read as a standalone. Cruel Truths is the story of Lindy who is a happy go lucky fashion designer who is down on her luck, searching for one last chance at success. Cade is a grumpy man, who happens to sit on the board of a fashion company. When the two meet, sparks fly, but not the romantic kind. When all comes crashing down will the two be able to save what is right in front of them?

This is my first time reading a novel written by T. Christensen. The characters within this novel are sassy, lovable, and relatable. Lindy’s nickname for Cade had me laughing out loud, literally, just about every time she said it. I am not a big fan of fake girlfriend tropes but this one had me hooked. The banter between Cade and Lindy kept you on your toes wanting more the entire time. If you are a romance reader who enjoys office romance, enemies to lovers, and grumpy and sunshine tropes this novel is for you!

The appeal of enemies to lovers always piques my interest but I was worried about not being able to follow along as it is the 3rd book in the series. That was definitely not the case with this one and I’m glad I was able to enjoy it without missing any key points. Lindy is trying to find better ways to support herself so she can continue living in the city. Cade, her new boss, is relentless and tough. As both challenge one another in their work environment, their chemistry towards one another starts developing. It is always great to see them grow closer together.

This is my first book by T.Christensen. This is the third book in the Tessa and Jordan series. It is a stand alone book. I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers stories. They always have so much more heat. Just my opinion. This one wasn’t much different. Tons of romance, tension, drama, frustration, and even adventure. A good start to reading T. Christensen’s stories.

Cruel Truths is Book Three in the Tessa and Jordan series. Although this book is part of a series it can easily be read as a standalone. It is an angsty, enemies to lovers’ contemporary romance that centers around the characters of Lindy and Cade. Lindy is an aspiring fashion designer who comes across a posting for a job at a fashion company as a personal assistant. She feels that this would be a good way to get into the world of fashion design and takes the position as Cade’s personal assistant. Cade is head of the fashion board for the company that Lindy wants to be on and has been a cold-hearted jerk to Lindy since they first met. Cade is pushy, rude, bossy, and domineering. Lindy has her family to think of, so she refuses to allow him to intimidate her. When a business deal comes up that requires them to act as a couple, she reluctantly agrees to be Cade’s fake girlfriend. With nerves of steel and a drive to succeed she refuses to allow her emotions to get the better of her while in close proximity to Cade. This proves to be anything but easy as the sexual tension between the two is intense. A great story full of ups and downs, highs and lows, drama, love, hate, angst, passion, and chemistry.

This was a quick read for me. I enjoyed the enemies to lovers an thought it fit the genre. I always like when the male character knows instantly that the woman is meant to be his. I did feel like the broody sense between them was a little drawn out for me but it didn’t impact me too much. I enjoyed the writing by this author and would read other books of theirs.

This was a interesting story. The chemistry between Cade and Lindy is what got my attention. It was pretty sparky there right from the beginning. The challenge was that because he was her boss, this was a forbidden thing. I enjoyed watching the romance take off and build. As far as characters, I thought they were well-developed. The story had a good flow.

Contemporary Enemies to Lovers
This is the 3rd book in the Tessa and Jordan series and is Lindy and Cade’s story. It can be read as a stand-alone.
Lindy is Tessa’s younger ‘sister’ and is an aspiring fashion designer. She is a very strong character and doesn’t hold back. Cade is all alpha male and has a jaded view of relationships and women. When their worlds collide it is a battle of wills and led to some fiery scenes. This story had a bit of everything – enemies to lovers, fake girlfriend, second chances, alpha male, billionaire romance. Recommend.

To call our leading man Cade, a grumpy boss book would be an understatement! My god he is a total jerk right at the start and that makes you want to keep reading! LOL Well it hooked me for sure. I just had to know how our leading lady Lindy, was going to handle the jerk lol Their interactions were fantastic coupled with plenty of wit, banter…I think those are the words I’m looking for to describe it…and off the charts chemistry made this a must read for me.

Cruel Truths is the third book in the Tessa and Jordan Series and is a Enemies to Lover’s Romance/Contemporary Romance that once you start reading its hard to put down until you’ve finished. The chemistry between Lindy and Cade is undeniable and the bantering back and forth between them keeps you turning the pages. Lindy is an aspiring fashion designer who comes across a job listing for a personal assistant for a big time company that could help her open up her future in fashion. Cade comes across as a giant a-hole. He knows what buttons to push but Lindy really needs this job so fake it till you make, because her family is depending on her. These two are no doubt my favorite characters and this story fun and engaging with a side of entertaining. I don’t want to give to much away. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Cruel Truths is the third book in the Tessa and Jordan series by T. Christensen. Even though this is the 3rd instalment in the series, it can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. It is probably my favourite of Ms. Christensen’s books, so far- because who doesn’t love a great enemies to lovers office romance? This one had that in spades… Throw in a grumpy-alphahole boss, forced proximity, chemistry, angst, push-pull, drama, and emotion- and this story was hard to put down.
Lindy is determined to do whatever it takes to follow her dreams, even if it means putting up with an alphahole boss. Things get complicated along the way when forced to work closely together. Will things get hot enough to ignite their simmering chemistry? Or will his alphahole ways push her away? Well worth the read to find out.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Christensen has in store for us next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, T. Christensen!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cruel Truths is full of animosity, insane chemistry, and two characters who love to irritate that other. And guess what, I’m all for it! This is not my first book I’ve read by this author, but it’s probably my favorite. Right from the start you feel the tension between the two main characters and it sucks you in.
Lindy is a stubborn independent woman. Which is why we love her. She refuses to let her boss steamroll her and has no qualms about standing up and demanding the respect/appreciation she deserves. However when her boss starts playing games, lines start to blur and she’s not all that sure how to handle that.
Cade is the cold-hearted alpha business owner. He runs a tight ship and has low tolerance for incompetence. But his new PA is on the next level. She’s fiery, feisty, and has no problems putting him in his place. It drives him crazy in many ways, but in reality he wants her. So why not play this in his favor? He knows the chemistry is there. He knows what buttons to push. But reality he wants more, yet he’s do standoffish he doesn’t realize he’s hurting her slowly in the process?
Does Lindy fall?
Can Cade rein her in and demand obedience?
So many questions and not enough content… lol Reality my questions were answered I just want more. I love these two characters. I couldn’t put the book down. I was in one of those I needed to sleep, but just one more chapter moods. And I’d be very surprised if you didn’t feel that way too!
Enjoy!

Cruel Truths (Tessa and Jordan #3)Cruel Truths by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lindy Garcia left her family behind in San Jose to move to New York and give herself a chance to live her dreams. In an effort to help them and help alleviate some of her guilt, she shares an apartment in which her bedroom is in a walk in closet, but the trade off is that she and her roommate keep polar opposite hours for their jobs and she gets to have an apartment in a safe part of town. When she takes one last shot to start following her dreams by applying for a personal assistant job, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.

Cade Kingsley is an intense, brooding man who is a genius with his business sense. He is a marketing wizard and also the son of matriarch of Carrington Couture – the absolute pinnacle of success in Lindy’s eyes. As she waits for her interview, she senses quite a bit of tension in the office. After jumping in to try to help, she realizes what they’re all afraid of is the man she is waiting to interview with – and just interrupted while he was speaking.

Cade and Lindy are immediately surrounded by tension and fireworks, but more of the annoyed with one another kind. While Lindy knows she needs to work harder than ever to make this job work and to start climbing that ladder, something about Mr. Ahole just drives her absolutely insane. What she begins to learn as the book progresses is that his intensity isn’t just for intimidation in the business meeting. When Cade manages to convince Lindy to pretend to be his girlfriend to help seal a deal, she has no choice but to say yes. Will the sparks fly or will tempers flare first?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Enemies to lovers, need I say more. This is the first book I have read by the amazing T. Christensen and yes this is the third book of the Tessa and Jordan Series, but it can be read as a standalone. I personally saw no missing information from not reading the previous two books. Enemies to lovers honestly must be my favorite trope and this book proves time and time again why I always come back to them.
Lindy Garcia has decided that she is tired of living month to month in New York and the only way she will stay and not return home to San Jose is if she finally takes the next steps in her career. When she sees the job listing to be Cade Kingsley’s personal assistant and Kingsley Marketing, she feels that it is a sign for her to stay. Instantly she is put off by how much Mr. Asshole as she refers to him is cold and controlling. Determined to get the job, she bites her tongue a few times but lets out just enough attitude and personality to garner his attention. Her biggest concern is what does “whatever he wants” really mean? Cade Kingsley has too much on his plate and needs someone that can take some of it but do it the way he wants it handled. Ms. Garcia is different, she has something more to her that gives her fight, passion. From the moment she first stepped up and helped he knew she would be his it was only a matter of time. Lindy has a moment in her official interview, for just a brief second, he looks at her lips and she has a physical reaction she doesn’t expect but after years of perfecting her emotions she hides it well. She is not so easily won over and she will not be controlled by a bully.
She wins over the boss to get the job but is she able to keep it? Is he victorious in winning her over and making her his? The world was so encompassing I could feel what the characters were feeling and yes when the moment called for it tears were shed. The characters pain and growth being natural and genuine. Lindy is not some sweet, docile woman that will blindly follow a man or be controlled even if he is her boss. Cade while used to being the alpha of alpha males shows he can soften even if just a little bit. I couldn’t put this book down once I started, chapter one honestly was hook line and sinker within the first couple of pages. Not many strong women shine in enemy to lover stories they tend to be more docile to the alpha males, but this book was the perfect blend of strength and weakness on both sides.

Wow. Cade and Lindy just might be my newest favorite couple. I absolutely love them! I love how they met, I love their chemistry. I
Love how Lindy hated him and called him Mr A Hole for so long. I really did love Cade from the very beginning even in all his grumpiness. This book had everything that I love. Enemies to lovers. Lots of heat, super strong female MC and make MC that love hard when they fall. Even when they try to fight their feelings. When Cade runs his mouth after Lindy tries to do something nice, he might lose her for good. Love love loved this book!!!

Lindy, an aspiring fashion designer with big dreams comes across a posting for a job as a personal assistant in a big time company that could open up her future in fashion.
She attends the interview only to find her potential boss Cade is a giant ahole!! Rude, intimidating, domineering he pushes every button Lindy has and causes her usual ability to smile and fake it to falter. Lindy really needs this job to continue to support her family and they are her number one priority so she signs on as Cades personal assistant doing as he puts it “whatever he requires” but the chemistry is nothing short of electric.
What happens when Lindy and Cade fake a relationship as part of the latest business deal? Is the chemistry brewing between them going to light? Or will their ability to work together and succeed come crashing down. Can these two be honest about what they are feeling or will Lindy jeopardize her entire future in fashion and walk away forever
Great fast paced story don’t miss it!

I loved this story. Grumpy boss and enemies to lovers tropes are one of my favorites and this one covered all those bases. So many times I was angry, frustrated or irritated at the male lead. He drove me crazy just like he did Lindy. In fact, a couple times I really didn’t understand why she stayed. I really liked Lindy. She is determined, smart, sassy and doesn’t put up with his guff. I don’t know how she did it day after day and time after time dealing with him, but kudos to her. I suppose it could be the intense sexual attraction that they have with each other. I mean OFF the Charts!

The story is amazing in the respect of the dreams, the hopes and the desires that are played out. It has many ups and downs and drama filled moments that filled my heart or made it go pitter-pat. This is one that can be reread and enjoyed.

This is the third in the series, but it can be read as a standalone. There is mention of characters and situations that we see from the first two books, but it doesn’t really interfere with this story. So grab it and enjoy

Enemies to lovers is my absolute FAVORITE trope!! So I had to read this one! I’m not sure why but I love the toxic type when it comes to my books. The push and pull just has me on the edge and I love the torture. The angst, the drama, the hate, the love…give it all to me! And that’s what this book did. I enjoyed every page! Great characters with great character development and I just all around enjoyed this read. I haven’t read the others before this book…but I’ll definitely be doing that now. So good.

This is the 3rd book in the Tessa and Jordan series, it can be read as a standalone read which is great. I loved this story, the author does an amazing job with the characters making them feel realistic. I especially felt a connection with Lindy. She is a fun person who loves her family and is prepared to stand up for herself when she needs to. I love how she wasn’t afraid to stand up to Cade even when he was dominant and intimidating she didn’t back down.
The chemistry between them is electric pretty much from the beginning but the dynamic of Cade being her boss and Lindy really needing her job to support her family put road blocks in their way.
This story is a push and pull enemies to lovers romance. There is a thin line between love and hate and this story definately goes back and forwards over that line which leaves you wondering if they will ever get together and embrace their true feelings.

Cade already knew from the moment he met her that Lindy was the woman for him but will she ever come around and see that for herself? Should you ever mix a business relationship with pleasure? And when an opportunity comes along where they fake a relationship what happens when those fake feelings become real? With no escape and a lot of time spent in Cades company will Lindy be able to keep denying the connection she feels? Will Lindy ever fulfill her dream of getting her own fashion line? Will her connection with Cade help or hinder her dreams?

This was a fast paced read that I loved and I was completely invested in this couples story as they navigate the path ahead of them.

Cruel Truths (Tessa and Jordan Book 3) by T. Christensen – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

This is the first book that I have read from this author. I can tell you that I cried during part of it because it was just so overwhelming and heartbreaking.

Cruel Truths (Tessa and Jordan #3)Cruel Truths by T. Christensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cruel Truths is book three in the Tessa and Jordan series by this Author. I Unfortunately, did not read the first two books but I was still able to follow along this story. If you like Enemies to lovers and Contemporary romance this series is for you. Lindy is a fashion designer and just moved and she now has this mean new boss Cade. He really knows how to push her buttons and that drives Lindy crazy. I feel like Lindy having to play Cade’s Fake girlfriend might of softened her heart a little. You will have to read this book to find out how it plays out. I Really enjoyed following Cade and Lindy through their journey. I highly Recommend this book. You will fall in love with the Charaters of this series they are wonderful to read about. Thanks again to this Author for a great read and i look forward to read more books by you.
