This is the first book in the Central Florida Stories series, and it starts off with a bang! I hope you’re ready for a rollercoaster ride of emotions because that’s exactly what Deception is. I was drawn to this book by the synopsis that gives you the main premise, but definitely doesn’t give anything away. I don’t want to spoil anything by saying too much, but I promise you will be hooked to see what happens with Joe and Hunter. I tried to read as quickly as humanly possible to figure out what was going to happen next, but I never saw what was coming! I highly recommend picking this one up.

This is the first book in the series and focuses on Joe and Hunter.
I enjoyed the descriptive writing from the author and the way in which this book was written, it added to the reading experience. However as much as I loved the plot, it was the characters that left a mark on me. I loved that we came to know them both over time, not everything was revealed right away. This I felt also led to great character development.
There were times I wasn’t sure what was coming next, there were certainly some twists and turns and I was hooked beginning to end.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Joe has just come back from a tour which devastated him and his teammates, when IED exploded all, he can see is his friend running toward the bomb to save them but also stop the depression with that fateful letter, Joe’s world is turned upside down.
Now, moved back home and running his families Landscaping business Joe leads a solitary life but when his colleague invites to the local pub, Joe is fed up of being on his own and decides to join him but when he meets the woman who ruined his friend and cause the devastation with made him take his own life, a plan of revenge creeps into Joe’s mind and Hunter becomes the hunted.
Hunter is lost in life, not quite sure where she is going but has the goal to get her son moved from her mother’s clutches to be with her. Although she is not one for relationships, the love them until they want more then she dismisses them and moves on, but when the tall, dark and Alpha walks into the bar her insides call to her to get to know this man, but when she finally gets to be with Joe will she be able to be the submissive woman he requires and needs.
This is the first story I have read by this author, and I enjoyed the book thoroughly, although at the beginning I found it tough to get into once over the initial couple of chapters it was intriguing and flowed well. I loved the character of Hunter, she was sassy and thought she knew who she was, although when Joe started introducing her to certain ways and behaviours her whole mind set needed to change and understood the need to be with Joe.
I always love a good, flawed character and Joe is another one to add to my pile, with his alpha male tendencies and the pure dominance he was great to read as a character. The relationship was lovely to watch as a slow burn and knowing the true reason at the beginning for the relationship was interesting to see the whole love blossom in the end. The ending of the story was brilliant, and I am glad they got there happy ending.
Can’t wait to read the next story and see the sexy Master Kurt’s story.

This is an author whose writing I enjoy but I have to admit for a while I wasn’t sure of my feelings towards this book. I am very glad I kept reading though as I did enjoy it and I do absolutely recommend everyone reads it. I guess my slow connection with the book came from the lead characters. I really wasn’t sure about them but as good writing often does as the storyline developed so did my understanding of the characters and I was definitely won over. It is a great series start and I truly look forward to reading more

This is a fantastic romance that is filled with twists and turns. It features a man named Joe who has lost an eye trying to save his friend who committed suicide. He returns home to try to live a quiet life and work for his family’s company. However, it is his life’s mission to exact revenge upon the woman who drove his friend to suicide. Once he finds her, however, he realizes things are way more complicated than what he once thought. This book definitely focuses on the complication of interpersonal relationships. It is definitely a fantastic book that I didn’t want to put down. This story is very well written and the characters are so well developed. I definitely recommend reading this and I cannot wait to read more of the series.

I wasn’t sure how Deception would play out but I was wonderfully surprised! Our hero has his eyes set on revenge to satisfy the anger and hatred in gis heart. Unfortunately, it is directed at our heroine! Rather than gloss over the warring emotions and complication of this tale, Saccenti takes the bull by the horns! She deftly navigates complex characters and a narrative that develops quite organically. And rather than focus on only the intense physical chemistry between the main characters, she pays the soul connection its due most beautifully!

This is my first read from this author. This book started out a little slow for me, but I will be looking for book 2 to see if her writing style gets better for me. This was a good military romance book, with a little kick of revenge thrown in. Oh, and did I mention the added bonus of the BDSM in the book? Yeah, I think that is what did it for me in the end.

This book starts out with the main character seeking revenge but it changes pace as it switches the narrative of the intention. The dynamics of the characters play well into the reader’s hand. This is steamy yet romantic as they get caught up in one another. Great read!

Deception is my first novel by Victoria Saccenti and I truly felt like it was a surprise. But not in a bad way. The story follows Joe on his surprise path for revenge and Hunter on her journey to finding herself.
I wasn’t sure whether the intention was to find Hunter a bit hard to like at first, but if it was the writing did just that! I began to like her more though as I got further into the story and we got to know her a little more.
Joe was a wild card though. Ex-marine, adjusting back to civilian life, he is a unique guy. When he sets his sights on Hunter who knows what will happen!
Can Hunter and Joe be truthful to themselves or is there just too much below the surface? Too much to get passed? You’ll have to read Deception to find out!

Deception by Victoria Saccenti is a great enemies to lovers story that will definitely pique your interest. I really enjoyed, right from the start, how you didn’t know much about what was going to happen from the description. It felt like the description was perfect to catch your attention but left the story to speak for itself. I enjoyed the angle the author took with this story, it made it feel different to others books of this type that I have read. I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t as intriguing as I expected from the blurb however the story was overall very good. I was invested in the characters and couldn’t wait to see how things would turn out. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I think she has a strong writing style. The book was well paced and I enjoyed how the characters were built up. This was a great story to read and I will definitely be interested in more work by this author.

This was my first book by Victoria Saccenti. Her writing style is a simple layout. She connects all the t’s and dots the i’s. Her plotline moves quickly. She keeps the action going. I did not lose interest in this story. There were twists and turns that kept my interest moving right along with the characters of the book. Her characters are fully developed and intriguing. The characters grow with the plotline. The main character is a Marine. That alone piqued my interest because Marines do everything all the way because failure is not an option.I highly recommend this story to see what the Marine does not to fail.

Deception by Victoria Saccenti is a sexy military romance story where revenge is the name of the game. The story is a little different from your norm and I liked that. Joe is a Dominant he has Hunter in his sights and with his sexy good looks he knows just how to reel them in. I enjoyed the story premise and Victoria’s writing style. There were a couple of the characters I could have done without but overall, I liked the MC’s. Truths are revealed but trusts are broken and may never heal. It is an emotionally charged story as past horrors are brought to the present.

This is a titillating romance. The story is sexy from beginning to end. Joe is a Dominant hell bent on revenge. He has Hunter in his sights and he never misses his mark. Hunter is broken and accepts the miserable life she leads, believing that she deserves it. She never thought that she could heal until she met Joe. He I trod yes her to the world of Don/Sub and she finds a peace that she never knew existed. Karma turns on Joe and he finds himself ensnared in her innocence. The truth will always come out, no matter what. Can these two find a way through the disaster? You need to read and find out.
The scenes between these two are incredibly hot! The story will keep you interested until the end. I loved the depth of the two main characters. This is my first book from this author and it definitely won’t be the last.

This was a new author to me, but when I read the synopsis, I knew that I needed to read this book. I am so glad that I found her and her books. A Submissive, a Dominant and BDSM this was right in my wheelhouse. Throw in a sexy military man and I couldn’t get this book open fast enough. Joe is seeking out revenge. He is looking for the person that sent his friend and teammate a letter…. Hunter is his target, she finds herself drawn to Joe. The story will pull you in and you won’t be able to put this book down until the very end…. I am looking forward to reading more from Ms. Saccenti.

“Meanwhile, lean muscled and tall, Joe walked with the elegance of a feline roaming its hunting grounds, a stride the military had drilled and honed. Once, he’d been a leader of men and had expected their obedience. Although he downplayed this aspect of his personality, the angle of his head and the tilt of his shoulders gave him away. While his casual clothes gave a relaxed appearance—his brand-new, perfectly fitting jeans, black pullover, and polished boots spoke of a man who paid attention to detail—even the two-day stubble worked for him. Joe wasn’t done with life yet. He was still hungry.”
“She placed her hand within his large warm fingers, and a new storm of contradicting emotions took her. Excitement, desire, and fear battered her from every direction, and at the center of the vortex, a certainty of peace and safety soothed her. For the briefest of moments, her mangled soul lost its scars. The rough ridges smoothed out. She felt protected and guarded. She wanted to weep and laugh.”
Deception is my first read by Victoria Saccenti. Never having read any of her work before, I really didn’t know what to expect going into this book. I discovered that the author has a very descriptive and ‘visual’ style to her writing- with an attention to detail that really brought his story to life. I loved that part of the book. I really liked the premise, offering something a little different from other books in the same genre. I was really into this story- until the dialogue and interactions between characters. Something about it really put me off a bit. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it seemed a little forced and/or somewhat disingenuous. There were cheesy moments, and some of the ‘sex-scenes’ were a little awkwardly worded. This did seem to improve as the story progressed and I did enjoy the second half more than the first. This book should have ticked all the boxes for me- but fell a little short. Maybe it was just me, as I have read a few of the other reviews for it and they all seem to have no problems with it- so I think I will revisit this book again in the future and see if I still feel the same way or whether I was just having an off reading day. This book is a game of seduction, with revenge being the end game. But what happens when this spider web of intrigue and deception begins to unravel? What happens when feelings become involved? And what happens when the truth is revealed? You really need to read the story if you want to find out. I really wanted to love this book so much more than I did. But I just couldn’t connect with it the way I’d hoped. Maybe next time.

To say this story starts off with a bang might be a bit too literal. But the author sets the tone from page one and establishes strongly a historical context for our main character and the trappings of his present day life. I was immediately captivated by Joe’s character and anticipated quite a story to unravel beneath his many layers. I wasn’t wrong or disappointed. This book kept me guessing in all the right ways. If you like romantic suspense, with drama and emotion, this book definitely is worthy of picking up immediately.

Deception by Victoria Saccenti was an interesting new find for me as I had not read anything by this writer before. I love military and revenge stories so after reading the synopsis I decided to give it a go. Hunter and Joe are the leads in this story though there are quite a few important supporting characters as well. Joe is an ex-marine who is determined to take out revenge on Hunter who he thinks is to blame for Joe’s teammate having committed a combat suicide. The reality is actually much different and the writer takes us deep into the Dominant-Submission lifestyle with a great backstory and plot. Be prepared for sex and submission and secrets and … I have to admit that the end seemed a bit forced and you might also feel like as if we are missing something but overall it was an intriguing read that does not leave anyone cold!

I had no clue what I was getting myself into when I picked up Deception by Victoria Saccenti, but boy was I in for a steamy and fun ride! This is a new author to me but something about the cover and a few teasers really drew me in and I decided to give it a go. I didn’t expect the amount of steam and bdsm lifestyle that I got but I loved it. It is a difficult topic for me to read at times because I too live an active role in alternative lifestyles and sometimes these books can come across as anything but true and realistic to those that live the life. Saccenti did a wonderful job in my opinion of incorporating the characters lifestyles without letting it become overwhelming and the only thing the book is about. I was sincerely grateful for that and it will be bringing me back for more of Saccenti’s novels very soon!
This one has a strong main character, Joe, an ex-marine with vengeance on his mind. He is determined to find the person responsible for the death of a former brother in arms. I loved the side characters just as much as Joe and was really drawn into the character development as the story went on. I loved the suspense build and was on the edge of my seat a lot of the time wondering what would come next. I look forward to seeing what else is available from Saccenti while I await anything new!

This is the first book that I have read by this author and she has definitely left an impression on me! I devoured the book in one sitting and I loved every single minute of it. I loved reading about Joe and Hunter – both not what I was expecting as characters either which I really liked! Joe was probably as I would expect a dominant to be but I loved that he also had a back story to him and I enjoyed getting to know him. I really liked Hunter she could definitely hold her own – I found her character really interesting. It was fun to read about these two together. I have read a lot of D/s stories and sometimes they can be a bit repetitive but I really enjoyed the way the author wrote this story, it wasn’t repetitive or stereotypical, it was really great to read and I would highly recommend it. I cannot wait to read more from her in the future.

I enjoyed this story. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from her. This is a well written story that has developed details that made the story feel real. I had no problems connecting with the characters as they brought the story to life. I enjoyed being pulled into the story right from the beginning. This is a story about Joe who is a Marine. His teammate received a letter and shortly after reading the letter commits sucide. After getting hurt, he is sent home. What will happen when he runs into the person who wrote the letter? He decides to hurt them as much as he is angry about his friend. But will his plan backfire on him? He makes such a great character and is my favorite in the story. He made the story for me despite the revenge and the way he plans to get it. A great story that I highly recommend.

The book Deception by Victoria Saccenti is a story that I enjoyed reading. It is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until the final page. It is a story that includes revenge and love. I loved reading about the characters of Joe and Hunter. Joe is a man who is set on revenge because of the suicide of a teammate. Hunter is his target. He starts down a carefully laid path. What would happen if in the process other emotions and feelings begin to form? Hunter is a woman who finds herself drawn to Joe. He is unlike those who have come before. What does the future hold for Joe and Hunter? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me turning pages to find out what happens next. It is written in such a way the I felt like I was right there with the characters. I enjoyed reading about the bantering back and forth between Hunter and Joe. This book does have very steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. I also enjoyed reading about Hunter’s best friend who is always there to help her. I liked that Hunter’s character is strong and intelligent. She has goals set for herself and is determined to achieve them. Don’t miss out on a story that is intriguing and entertaining. I highly recommend reading it.

Her submission is his sweet revenge…until the truth detonates his plans.
When Joe learns Hunter’s name, his inner Dom’s lust turns to black rage—he’s convinced it’s her fault a teammate committed combat suicide. He embarks on a plan to seduce her, but by the time her sweetness ensnares him, the truth threatens what could be the love of a lifetime.
“Award-winning, multi-genre author Victoria Saccenti picked up pencil and paper the moment her childhood book heroes started conversing with her. Sounds a little crazy, but there’s no rhyme or reason for inspiration. She writes romantic women’s fiction, contemporary romance, and paranormal romance. Her stories explore the twists and turns of human interaction, the many facets of love, and all possible happy endings. After thirty years of traveling the world, she’s settled in Central Florida. However, if she could convince her husband to sell their home, she would pack up her computer and move to Scotland, a land she adores. “
