Deceptively Yours (Titans of Chicago Series) by Anise Storm – Review by Kerry Carr

Deceptively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Titans of Chicago series. It is a dark second chance romance which deals with several subjects that could be triggering such as abusenand grief. I couldn’t help but be completely captivated with this story and I couldn’t put it down. My heart broke for our main characters Gabriel and Harper and I will be honest at times I did wonder if all the trauma and angst between them was going to be worth trying to reach their happy ever after.
Harper and Gabriel were young sweethearts. Soul mates who planned on spending the rest of their lives together. Nothing could tear them apart or so they thought.
When Harper gets the news of her parents death and then is taken away by her uncle they still hoped their love would survive. However circumstances around Harper means that in her mind to protect him from the truth she ends their relationship.

Fast forward and Harper has moved on with her life but she has never forgotten her first love. And when she gets news of Gabriel’s parents passing she wants to reach out but will she be welcome?

When Gabriel sees Harper again all the old anger, resentment and hurt crashes to the surface again. And even though he can’t deny the chemistry between them how can he ever trust her again?
With the added danger that is lurking in the background will this be the thing to bring them back together or will it push them further apart at the risk to their safety?
I really enjoyed this book and even though at times I felt like shaking Gabriel for the way he treated Harper I kept having to remind myself that he doesn’t know the truth of it what she went through. This story is gripping and I couldn’t put it down until I found out if they made it and got their happy ever after or not
