First came love. Then came hate.

Olivia Quinn wasn’t looking for love. Climbing the corporate ladder at Coleson Creek Winery filled her days, and HGTV and chardonnay filled her nights. Hooking up with the heir to that winery seemed a bad idea for her heart, and her employment status. But even a maxed-out Visa couldn’t make her refuse a weekend one-night-stand with a soldier who wore rugged and handsome like a tailored suit, and danger like a second skin.

A weekend, that led to a promise of a lifetime. Or so she thought.

Asher Coleson is former Special Ops and 100% alpha. The sole heir to a winery he wants jack shit to do with, he’s the strong, silent type, hardened not by the military, but by the aching absence of his one true love. Underneath his aloof attitude and sinewy muscle—all six and a half feet of him—lies a man so loyal to his beloved Olivia, he’s living half a life. And that half doesn’t include sex. He’s a bit... backed up. And not happy about it, either.

These days, getting lucky means only one thing. Getting his wife back.

Review

An emotional journey that will tug at your heartstrings and have you hoping that Olivia and Asher get their happily ever after... I absolutely LOVED this book. I laughed. I cried. I didn't want it to end... --Kimberly Lucia, Kimmy Loves to Read

From page one, I was captured and enthralled... True to You is a most wonderfully crafted story... So beautifully and intricately woven into such a believable and entertaining piece of prose... Truly exceptional... A huge ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating from me... --Madonna Blackburn, Bookalicious Babes Blog Reviewer

In a class of its own! I laughed, I cried, at times I wanted to throw my kindle... Jodi Watters truly created magic with this book. Grab yourself a glass of wine, a box of tissues, and let True to You take you on a relationship voyage meant to test even the most committed of couples... --Janine Diller, The World was Hers for the Reading Book Blog

Miss Watters' style of writing enthralls me... She brings the characters and storyline to life, with an amazing gift for words and the ability to suck you in and keep you there... --Goodreads Reviewer

About the Author

My love for steamy romance began when I was in junior high. A friend and I noticed a dumpster of discarded paperbacks behind our local dime store. Covers missing and each book split down the spine, I scanned the pages for any love or lust words--and curse words, too. From that point on, I scoured the public library and the paperback racks at every store, reading anything labeled romance. I said a tearfully grateful goodbye to Judy Bloom, and Jackie Collins began ruling my world.

I live with my high school sweetheart husband in the desert Southwest. Awesome in the winter, not so much in the summer.

My life long goals are to think before I speak, smile more and swear less, and actually weigh what my driver's license states I do.

Nothing is hotter than a man who is in love with his wife.

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

Is anything more sexy than a man who loves his wife? After reading True to You, I would be hard pressed to say no. For Asher and Olivia, it is love at first sight. Not in the puppy-love, high school sweetheart way but a passion-filled forever kind of love. Unfortunately, that love may not be enough withstand a devastating tragedy. They spend four years attempting to recover and live their lives, apart. Asher is unable to move forward without the love of his life. This man is so in love with his wife, he keeps their home exactly the way it was when she walked out. Olivia, wrapping a heated blanket of anger and hatred around herself like a suit of armor goes through the motions. The time and distance only reinforce her feelings of abandonment and betrayal. Both of them waiting for something to happen that will either restore their marriage or enable them to just move beyond the pain and end it. Despite everything, they still love each other enough to stay true to their wedding vows. There is passion, humor, heartbreak, forgiveness and restoration in this love story.

I love how Jodi Watters told their story. The flow of the plot was solid even with flashbacks placed intermittently between the present day storyline. I find that most authors are not able to successfully pull this off without confusing the reader. She pulled it off perfectly. They really enhanced the way the story developed for me. The characters had strong chemistry with each other as well as the supporting cast. The romance was steamy and sexy without being overly graphic. I loved that the sex was not forced into the story but moved the plot forward. Overall, everything I want in in a romance.

I would highly recommend True to You by Jodi Watters. This was the first book that I have read by this author but I will definitely be reading her other works.

Grief drives a wedge between Asher and Olivia. Can they find a way through?

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Definitely 4.5/5. I have looked forward to Asher's story, and I was not disappointed. Ash and Olivia's story is one of family dysfunction and immense grief. Well edited.

We met Asher in the two previous novels, as he is one of the partners in Scorpio Securities and Hope's brother. We got a mention here and there of Olivia. In a surprise to most, Asher and Olivia were married six years before the events in this book. What happened to tear this couple apart, and why has Ash kept his wife a secret?

In this one, we find out a bit more about the deep rift between Asher and his father. Unfortunately, Marshall sees Olivia as a potential weapon in his battle with his son. On one Asher's trips home to check on Hope, he meets Olivia and finds love at first sight is a thing. Within short order, Asher and Olivia marry, and about a year later, Olivia is pregnant with their first child. Asher is still in the military, and is gone and often uncommunicative for long periods of time. This is difficult for Olivia, especially the further into her pregnancy she goes. Tragedy strikes, and Asher is half a world away. By the time he gets home, Olivia is so distraught that she lashes out at Asher. Things are said, she walks out, and numbness and pain settle between them. Four years later, Asher and Olivia are both living in a pain filled limbo. Can they find a way through the pain and back to love? Will Marshall continue to interfere? Will Olivia ever forgive Asher for not being home when she needed him most? Will Asher trust her not to walk away again when things get hard?

This was a really emotional story of two people dealing with immense grief. Grief is such a tricky thing. Everyone processes it differently. Unfortunately, even the people suffering have expectations of how someone suffering the same loss should behave. In many ways, it is understandable, and part of the process. In others, it is as deeply unfair as it is for someone on the outside to say how any one person should process loss. Fortunately for this story, Asher and Olivia have a tenuous hold on each other through the darkest times, until they can finally communicate and begin to heal together. Very moving story. Enjoy.

Ash and Liv have an unbelievable story to tell. This series was placed in my reread section because I loved them so much. Strong characters with just the right words to make you laugh and cry when you need emotional outlets. Jodi Waters makes you forget the outside world for a day or two and will remain in the reread section of my library. ❤

Best book I’ve ever read

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book has it all. Exceptional writing. Witty and unique banter between main characters Ash and Liv. These two are adorable. You’ve got the grit reality and angst of his career and it’s negative effect on their marriage. If you want some action it’s got plenty of alpha action. Then there is Liv with her career which she’s worked so hard for. On top of all of that their childhood traumas and coming of age challenges. Of course the stillborn birth of their daughter caused both to shut down.

This is a beautifully written multi layered work. The characters are real to you and you fall in love with each of them. The witty conversations are fun and balance the serious storyline of the loss of a child and a marriage.

This writer is gifted. I will read every book she writes. Incredible world she has created and I hope to read about many more of her characters.

It’s cliche but it’s a very rich literary tapestry.

Another Great

WOW she has done it again! This is the second book that I have read by Jodi Watters and I have already ordered the next one. Still cannot figure out why she isn't a best selling author. Loved the plot the strong character development and of course the humour. Liv and Ash both have to forgive each other and come back back together but before they do get out the kleenex! You won't want to miss this book as it will keep you turning the pages and ignoring everything else that should be done.

An emotional rollercoaster of a read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2019

Military guys - where would we be without them! Coming from a military family I could relate to some of the closed off behaviour.
This is a tale of love and loss, loathing and hurt and broken beyond measures, and somehow just carrying on. It is a heart breaking story of Ash and Liv, a happy life denied by tragedy and downright stubbornness.
A manipulative father wreaks havoc on his son and daughter and it seems everyone else around him. Ash could learn a few lessons on effective communication and how not to put your girl through hell, but it makes a humdinger of a story. True to You tugs at the heartstrings and tells a wonderful love story.

True to you by Jodi Watters
A Love Happens Novel

So...I read the blurb to this book & I thought to myself...yeah I will give it a go...sounds like a pretty good tale. Oh my God...I am totally floored! From page 1 I was captured and enthralled by Jodi's 3rd book in her A Love Happens series. These books are standalones and as I have not read books 1&2 I can safely say that you do not need to have read the previous 2 books to really enjoy this one....however I can guarantee you that once you've read this you WILL go back & read the others. This book has whet my appetite for Jodi Watters & I cannot wait to get into those published previously.
True to You is a most wonderfully crafted story. It brings us into the lives of Asher & Olivia Coleson, a retired special ops agent & an executive manager for Asher's father's vineyard. The way that Jodi has so beautifully & intricately woven their heartbreak & passion into such a believable & entertaining piece of prose has truly been exceptional.
They say that there is a fine line between love & hate....well Liv & Ash certainly stretch this line to almost non-existence & even though this was a story filled with so much pain & hurt & sadness, it was also one of the most
uplifting & amusing books I've read.
This book earns a huge 5⛤ rating from me...just so so good!
