Deception (Central Florida Stories Book 1) by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Deception (Central Florida Stories, #1)Deception by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deception is Book One in the Central Florida Stories series. It is a story of a man and a woman brought together under less than desirable circumstances. The storyline was intriguing, captivating, vividly written, and took a turn that I did not expect. The characters are ones that take a bit of warming up to but after learning a bit more of their backstory they become more compelling and lovable. Joe, an ex-marine, is determined to seek revenge on a woman named Hunter who he is convinced caused a teammate to commit combat suicide. Hunter has a reputation for using men, breaking up marriages, and for being easy. When Joe seeks out Hunter to dish out his revenge, he discovers that she is not like that at all. Hunter has gained her reputation when men’s feelings get hurt and they tear her down to seek their revenge against her. When Joe learns this and gets to know Hunter better his feelings for her start to change. Joe also discovers that Hunter is a submissive which is a perfect match for him as a dominant. What started out as revenge has turned into something more and the chemistry between Joe and Hunter sizzles. This book had action, suspense, drama, danger, lies, revenge plots, friends to lovers, and chemistry galore as the author delves into the world of dominants and submissives.
