the first book was better

I struggled to finish this as it was a prequel to the first book, and spends most of its time with Adrian and Lia whining about their misconceptions of each other. It was like watching high schoolers who can only think of themselves rather than imagine another's POV. There are very few hints about the underlying plot and unfortunately you have to reach the end for the biggest one. I started skipping entire chapters because the sex was a bit too SM for my tastes - Lia is truly hurt in the bedroom although she loves it. Yes, I understand broken people and their kinks is a common theme, it's just not my thing.

The performance was great and production is seamless.

obsessed, however...

ok so I'm super obsessed with this trilogy bought the second book as soon as I got a notification that it was released and Binged it.

Here's the thing... imagine how much of the issues between them could be resolved if they just clarified their actions. you know like actually talked.
Also, Leah gets on my nerves sometimes. he literally tells her she has a target on her back and it's in one ear out the other and she focuses on the wrong thing. I've heard about selective hearing, but come on that one is a little much.
I still recommend this trilogy though.

if you want to skip it....

you can skip it if you want . it's all backstory. sorry not sorry. wished a reviewer had told me. it's still a 5 star performance and still has spice. but I'm irked that nothing is resolved nada nothing. and I am starting to hate the Female Mc. pshh she's annoying and a hypocrite.

Really?

I’m near the end of Book 2, and couldn’t wait to say, that I REALLY DISLIKE LEAH. She is the stupidest, bratty, spoiled psycho, and deserves all the bad that comes her way. Geez, idiot woman get a grip.

So very good

I am loving this trilogy written by Rina Kent. I still have trouble feeling Adrian and Rai's connection except occasionally. But this storyline has me entranced. What I thought I knew from book one, just throw it out the window. We go back to the beginning and get what is actually going on. Brilliant! There are still unanswered questions from book one and two. I cannot wait to get the answers and to watch the romance completely blossom.

Jason Clarke and Desire֎ Ketchum are excellent narrators. I love their voices. They are perfect for the characters. I feel like I'm watching a movie.

prequel that fills in the blanks

I loved it. it added to the love and suspense from book one. the cliffhanger ending is good and some of the story just irritates the anxiety out of you. their love and passion is interesting and hot but also sad and frustrating but keeps you hooked!

Tempted by Deception

This series is so good that I have a book hangover. I was up listening until 4:00am and I had to go to work. More of the mystery is starting to unfold. My heart hurt for Lia when she went over to Adrian as he is speaking with a beautiful woman. Clearly it was not just an innocent conversation. The bodyguard was unable to stop her. Adrian acted like he did not know her even when his future father-in-law questioned him. At that moment, I would have loved to hurt Adrian. He is slowly breaking her. We also find out more about Winter. This mafia book has so many twists and turns that you don't know what will happen next. I am looking forward to book 3 to see how everything ends. Jason Clarke and Desireé Ketchum did a great job with the narration.

So Dark

Second book is beginning to bring clarity to unanswered questions from first book. The depth of emotions elicited by Adrian and Lea is palpable. Both narrators did a wonderful job with characters. On to book 3!

This series will blow your mind!

This series is really messing with my mind and I love it. Adrian and Lia’s love story isn’t a fairytale. It takes dark and twisted to a whole other level. This installment gives us some insight into both of their pasts. Some questions are answered, but now we have so many more. This incredible tale evokes emotions within the reader that will have them on the edge of their seat until they reach the inevitable cliffhanger ending. I am counting down the days until I can get my hands on the final book in this addictive trilogy.

Another successful collaboration between Rina Kent, Jason Clarke and Desiree Ketchum.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

“I’ve spent the weekend enjoying this audio and OMG it’s insanely good! Sometimes I’m not sure what I enjoy more of the book or the audio. There’s something quite special when you hear the story and Jason and Desireé slayed it!

It was epic!! Brilliant and utterly amazing! Mind-blowing and shocking plot full of twist and turns This second installment was full of drama, lies and well… darkness.

Like I said Jason and Desiree performance was phenomenal!! The raw and passion between the characters through their voices was dangerously sexy. You could feel the love, hate, lust and obsession. The chemistry!!!

I absolutely loved it!!! Can’t wait for the finale book!!”
