Synopsis:
Ryker Waterborn’s heart is broken, and his wife is a killer. Their marriage is a sham, built on a foundation of murder, lies, and deceit. They’re broken. Destroyed. Yet, even after hearing her confession, Ryker cannot leave Brynleigh in the Pit.
In an act of foolish love, he makes a deal to set Brynleigh free. All she has to do is go back to her Maker and find evidence that Jelisette de la Point is a traitor.
That’s easier said than done, but Brynleigh is left with no choice. She can either accept the deal or rot behind bars. Worse than all that is her relationship with Ryker.
Once, she thought they’d get a happy ending. Now, an ocean divides them.
She broke the rules and fell in love, but is love powerful enough to save them?
Review & thoughts:
A Heart of Desire and Deceit is the second book in a Fantasy Romance series and the conclusion to Brynleigh and Ryker’s story. I loved the first part of their story and had to start this one ASAP and it definitely didn’t disappoint, I think I loved it even more and am obsessed with this series!
A Heart of Desire and Deceit begins right where the first book ended with that heartbreaking cliffhanger and had me hooked since the first page. Here the stakes were higher, the plot was fast paced with a lot of action and plot twists and the romance was everything I hoped for and more. I loved Brynleigh and Ryker’s relationship and slow burn romance in the first book but here there are finally no more secrets between them and it was amazing to see them try to find their way back to each other and fully accept each other, I just loved all their scenes so much, they were perfect together. Brynleigh was still the morally grey vampire I came to love in book 1 but it was amazing to see how much she changed since the beginning of this story, she is more trusting and learns to depend on other people and the way she was with Ryker was beautiful to watch. Ryker was just a perfect book boyfriend, despite his understandable anger I loved how he continued to support Brynleigh and was ready to fight for their happily ever after, he and Brynleigh are definitely one of my favorite bookish couples, I already miss them and hope we will get to see them again in this author’s next books.
A Heart of Desire and Deceit was the perfect conclusion to Brynleigh and Ryker’s story. It has everything I love in the fantasy romance genre, I absolutely love this series and these characters and already can’t wait for more books from this author!
