Buckle up, Buttercup! If you thought Love & Ruin was an intense beginning to this trilogy … it was just the tip of the iceberg! Love & Deception is the perfect title for book two, the continuation of Gemma’s and Hendrix’s turbulent story. It’s heart wrenching and emotional and will keep you riveted to the pages as Gemma struggles to make sense of shocking secrets about her past and her uncertain future with Hendrix.
This is everything I want in the second book of a trilogy. Compelling writing, twists and turns to keep me on my toes, as well as character and plot development that take this beautiful story to the next level of amazing.

Love & Deception by J. A. Owenby
In the continuing story of Gemma. Owenby has a way of telling a story that makes you, the reader feel what the characters are going thru. In this 2nd part of the trilogy, you find out even more of the terrible things that Gemma has had to endure, and just what lengths her friends will go thru to help her. Owenby sheds light on an ugly subject without glamorizing it. You need to read these books, you may cry, ok you will cry. But, read them, people need to know that these things go on in our world

Love & Deception by J.A. Owenby is a new adult romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Stephanie Nemeth-Parker. This is the second book in The Love & Ruin series.

This book does come with a caution: "This book includes mature content and possible triggers." 

This is the second book of J.A.'s that I have read and it won't be my last. I absolutely love the friendship between Gemma and Mackenzie. I am really enjoying the slow building relationship between Gemma and Hendrix. 

Stephanie did an amazing job on the narration. She really knows how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like slow burn romances, new adult romances, contemporary romance, or romantic suspense.
