I wanted to read this book before diving into Mia and Kellen's story after Shayla was brought up in book 1. I didn't expect to like her, let alone love her and connect with her. Honestly, her story is so heartbreaking. I can't even begin to describe her life and the decisions she was forced to make. Jameson isn't exactly likeable, but he's so great for Shayla. Finally, they get together and work out. She had so many demons to fight, and thanks to Jameson, she wasn't alone fighting them. Now I understand why Shay abandoned Hallie. While it sucks, I have a feeling things will get worse with her before they get better. Mia and Kellens story is going to hurt everyone, but especially Shay and Hallie. 

Dangerously Deceptive is not a typical love story between Kellan and Shayla. This books is so much more. A wonderfully written book by an author who tells a powerful story between two characters who go through extremely tough aspects in life. It is raw and emotional and heartbreaking and just so much wrapped into one book. I want you to understand that this book is a powerful story that has a meaning and delivers a story to its fullest.

I don’t want to give anything or too much away on this book because I believe everyone should read it and be able to feel how deeply this book will impact you. Now to the characters. Kellan is the sexy geek everyone knows to love. He is definitely the light to this story and cares so deeply. Shayla, you should not sleep on her. She is powerful and has so much in her life happen to her that I for one love her character and wish so much for her. There is also Jamieson aka Whiskey. He is an attractive character who is friends with Shayla that is worth mentioning. The story between them is truly something. I struggle to find words because it’s a lot to learn in this book.

I am so happy I read it, but I don’t know what else to say other than it was a lot and emotional.
I was happy, mad, sad, upset, everything you could feel in this one book. I don’t know how I’m gonna go read my next reads because that one took me down. This book was NEEDED to give Kellan the story he deserves. Even if it was such an emotional gut wrenching book, it is needed and I can’t wait to get more for him! I am dying for the next book in the series and to continue more of this world.

Fantastic read

This was another fantastic read, it took me a little bit to get into this one but by about a quarter of the way through I was hooked. This gave such a better understanding to Shay and how Kellan came to be a single dad in Black Wedding. I absolutely love Kellan, Jamieson & Shay. Despite the hurt caused they had their reasons for the benefit of those they loved.

Emma never fails to rip my heart out and somehow make it all better with her books! This one is definitely not an exception. I devoured it and loved every second of heartache and healing. Cannot wait to read the rest of the books that tie in to this and black wedding. Just wonderful!!
