Summary

My husband. My villain.

We started with death and blood.

We started with games and carnal pleasure.

Adrian and I shouldn’t have been together.

He’s wrong.

I’m wrong.

What we have is the epitome of disaster.

Yet, it’s impossible to stop.

My husband will either destroy me or I’ll destroy him.

This book is part of a trilogy and is not standalone.

This is a crazy good read!! First time I have ever had my hand over my mouth for ages whilst listening to it! Adrian is soooo messed up and good and how he treats her is CRAZY! Absolutely WILD!

WAW!!

Wow, just wow…. the rollercoaster of mind-games continues…..I knew I would have another cliffy hanging over my head but still couldn’t resist diving into Book 2 of the Deception series.

I am going to say this even before I get to book 3 which is the conclusion to this trilogy, but I think this is one of the best dark romance storylines, character built, plot I have ever read/listened to. This may be Rina Kent´s best series yet. It is mysterious, darkly erotic, intense, thrilling and all these secrets and twist n turns have me on the edge of my seat.

The second book gives us more of a backstory of how Adrian and Lia met, flashbacks to their childhoods and how Lia became Winter as that ties in with the storyline from book one “Vow of Deception”.

Adrian & Lia are both complicated characters full of dark secrets that run deep, and this makes the storyline so interesting and had my heart pumping with anxiety the whole time because you are trying to guess what is going to happen and when you think you are getting somewhere you get thrown off again, which might leave you confused but you constantly want to know what is happening next.

Their characters also frustrate me, their relationship is complex to say the least and it´s this constant push and pull between them. Adrian is powerful being high up in the Russian Mafia. Our Anti-Hero is ruthless and this dominant. He is a possessive alphahole, who seems to show no emotion or feelings from Lia´s point of view and in return Adrian believes Lia despises him because of the way he treats her, and she defies him any way she can. Let´s talk about the steam level in this book, phew their sexual tension and chemistry is off the roof. So, I am giving 5 flames for this one.
Rina Kent certainly got all the intended feelings, emotions, and reactions out of me with this storyline.

Thankfully part 3 Consumed by Deception is only a few weeks away.

Also, the audio performances by Desiree Ketchum and Jason Clarke are brilliant. Desiree drives most of the narration, but both are deliciously talented with all that emotion and different layers in it. I really enjoyed listening to this performance. Well, we all love Jason´s growly voice and he is just the best Russian Alpha Anti-Hero and again for me does one of the best female voices. Desiree is becoming one of my favourites, l loved her performance, for me, her performance of Adrian, especially with the Russian accent was spot on. I wouldn’t mind listening to more of them as an audio pairing.

The rollercoaster of mind-games continues.....

Tempted By Deception (Deception Trilogy #2) goes back to when Adrian and Lia first meet. The storyline is dark and thrilling, with exciting twists and turns I didn’t see coming! There’s more mystery, more heat, and more of Adrian’s darkness. I loved it!

I loved it!
