Deceptions by Kelley Armstrong
2.0
Here's the thing: Going back to Kelley Armstrong books is a treat. I love her writing, I think her stories are interesting and take unique spin on things. And I like this story... Or what lies under the story after getting past all the love triangle bullshit.
When I picked up the first book of this series, I thought it was so interesting. The second book kinda turned me the wrong way and this third book was a bit of torture to read through. I thought the first book set up a relationship perfectly - apparently I was wrong.
I don't think Ricky is a bad character, I just don't see the attraction. There's nothing there between him and Olivia besides sex. I'm going to continue on with the series because I know things happen later that intrigue me, but boy, was this hard to get through.
Armstrong has done this in what feels like two others of her series, where I have to slog through the bad love interest to get to the good one and the more interesting story.

Spoiler
I looked at reviews and saw that Olivia has a relationship with Gabriel at the end, and I want to get to that part. I don't care about Ricky at all and the fact that I have to read about them having great sex every five pages is annoying. Also pointless bar cat fight?
