Quick Summary: A first sight and fire romance
My Review: Sweet Deception by Monroe Beckett is a 2025 contemporary romance.
About the Book: "Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Kylie Davis is out of options. With her parents on the brink of losing their home from her father’s long battle with cancer, Kylie takes a leap she never imagined; applying to be a sugar baby. The plan is simple—make fast cash, save her parents’ home, and walk away.
But nothing is ever simple where Luca Morelli is involved."
In My Own Words: A good girl facing a bad situation crosses paths with a sexy bad boy with a good heart. From the moment they see each other, sparks fly. Unfortunately, dark threats interrupt their relationship.
My Final Say: This hidden gem had me on lock. Luca, Kylie, Gio, Rafael, and even Joseph and Talia were great characters. The light versus dark theme played throughout the story and completely drew me in. While the hot and bothered heat between the leads was present, this story offered so much more. It was an opposites attract, found family, mafia-esque romance with all the feels.
*** Luca gives off vibes like Alex Volkov from Twisted Love.***
Other: This would make a great audiobook. Sign me up! If this isn't a series, it needs to be.
