The Deception by Nikki Sloane
5.0

 
For the final third installment in the romance between Royce and Maris, we get the wedding and seeing their first year together. I have to say this book was epically beautiful and we see these characters really come together here. I really admired seeing the depths that this author goes to with this pairing. It starts out intense though because you have NO idea what it means and I did cheat and read the last chapter because I just had to know how it ended because its one of those beginnings that is set in the future and then takes you back to the present and yeah the suspense of it all is pretty thrilling at times. The level of intrigue that is played out in this book is phenomenal though and what I enjoyed the most was seeing Royce and Maris really come together here. I wanted so much for them to get their HEA and to find closure and peace. We definitely see all the ups and down and I will admit Maris is a heroine I struggled with off and on throughout this series. I really didn’t care for the secrets that she keeps from Royce and not always being honest about the interactions she has with his father. And the ENDING of this book was CRAZY sauce, because we have a villain you don’t see coming. Definitely turned this reader out for a loop. But I had a blast in seeing how these two reach their ending and the teaser that we have for book four which is Macalister’s book and yes what a anti hero that becomes redeemed.
