Laura’s Review of Deception (Infidelity, #3) By Aleatha Romig

Synopsis
It all began in Del Mar, a chance meeting with a single rule--one week only.

Or did it?

Lennox ‘Nox’ Demetri and Alexandria ‘Charli’ Collins had every intention of following their agreement but rules are made to be broken. In CUNNING they are reunited with Nox setting down new rules for the game and Charli having no choice but to follow them.

Now, once again, the game has changed. Nox and Charli’s hot sensual encounter has grown into something more but it is threatened with secrets and regrets. Is it their love and intense sexual chemistry that’s pushing them together or something darker, a puppetmaster behind the scenes pulling the strings on their love affair?

Shadowy villains lurk around each corner and everyone is suspect as Nox’s and Charli's pasts collide with the present and threaten to compel them back to their predestined fates.

Can deals brokered in the past be negated by something as pure as love and as steamy as the attraction shared by Nox and Charli? Or was it all a deception—starting with that very first meeting?

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists and turns, the depth of this epic romantic suspense continues to reach new levels as past and present intertwine. The Infidelity series will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next.

Have you been Aleatha'd?

DECEPTION is a full-length novel, over 300 pages, and the third of five books in the INFIDELITY series - It isn't what you think!
(This series is not about nor does it advocate or condone cheating)
What I Loved
         
        First off, WHOA MOMMA JOE!! Every time I feel like I know where Aleatha is going with a story she throws another curve ball in there and bam! I’m left with my jaw on the floor, heart pounding and NEEDING to know what the hell is going to happen next!

        Deception picks up right where Cunning left off, with Charli discovering a letter after a romantic night out and it shattering everything she believes about Nox and his past.  Watching Charli’s beliefs shatter was heart wrenching for me and once again immediately sucked me back into this crazy world of deception and games. 

           Of course things aren’t what they seem and after a while Nox swoops in again and becomes the man I know and love.  A lot of questions aren’t answered when it comes to the letter but we do get some answers to Nox’s past and what happened to his wife.  Plus, the chemistry between Nox and Charli hasn’t died at all leading to some very steamy and enjoyable scenes throughout the story.  In fact, if anything, their relationship was on more solid ground throughout most of the story then the other books.

Not So Much
          My only one huge hang up was that there was just too much back and forth between the past and the present.  I understand the purpose of it and I see how Charli’s mother’s past is intertwining with Charli’s present and I’m sure in the end it will all come full circle.  But for me it almost stalled the plot from moving forward in some ways, and because of that there wasn’t a lot of overall plot movement.  It all just became a little tiring for me to constantly stop the forward movement of the present to move back to the past. I do understand there is a bigger picture here and there is a purpose for understanding everything and I do love experiencing that, it was just a little bit too much of it.
To Sum It All Up!        
          Oh man, first off I’m going to put it out there if you’re not a fan of cliff hangers then hold off on reading this book until Entrapment comes out because damn! CRAZY CLIFFHANGER!!!

          Hot alpha rich men are my favorite types of characters because testosterone pours off of them and they have the means to make anything happen.  Nox falls into this type completely and then some!  I love how fierce he can be and how much he loves Charli.  He grabbed my attention from the very beginning and I can’t wait to see what he will do next! 

          Also, I cannot get enough of Charli and Nox together, they’re nothing short of spectacular and this entire story is completely addictive.  From the moment I began reading Deception I couldn’t put it down, and although I was mad at myself for reading too quickly I couldn’t stop! Deception began with Charli devastated because of a mysterious letter, and ends with her making harsh decisions that will alter everyone’s lives around her.
