Deception (Central Florida Stories Book 1) by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Shea Gilkerson

Deception by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! Deception had me drawn in from the start. Joe is a hardened combat marine who was a squad leader. You begin in the middle of a mission and get into his sharp mind, logic, and dedication to protect his brothers in arms. When they realize they missed a truck, it is too late for things not to go horribly wrong. Joe’s best friend commits combat suicide, he is hit with an IED shrapnel and it puts an end to his military career. After a long healing process, he heads back home to take over the family business.

When he meets the person he holds responsible for the loss of his best friend and his life changing forever, he hatches a plan for revenge. As Hunter opens herself up to him and they begin to connect, he finds himself less sure of beliefs he had held so close to his heart. Will two wounded people get a chance to move past their heartaches and struggles together and find a respite in each other?

Powerfully written, you are immediately drawn in from page one. Relationship building and vulnerability keep you invested. Jumping in to book 2 immediately!
