Deception provides a gripping suspense-filled tale paired with a sweet romance between two compelling characters.
Book Blurb
After being forced to kill an FBI agent gone rogue in self-defense while working in the violent crimes unit for the Investigative Services Branch, ranger Madison Thorn is comfortable with her move to the fraud and cyber division. At least numbers don’t lie. So she’s less than thrilled when a white-collar crime investigation in Natchez, Mississippi, turns violent. She could also do without being forced to work with former-childhood-enemy-turned-infuriatingly-handsome park ranger Clayton Bradshaw.
When a woman who looks just like Madison is attacked on the same night Madison’s grandfather is shot, it becomes clear that there is something much bigger going on here and that Madison herself is in danger. Madison and Clayton will have to work together–and suppress their growing feelings for one another–if they are to discover the truth before it’s too late.
My Thoughts
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series, but this may be my favorite. From the beginning, Bradley had me hooked with intrigue and mistaken identity.
Madison’s backstory is fleshed out and makes everything she does understandable. I couldn’t help but root for her as she struggles with the mistakes of her past and unraveling her family history. And Clayton went from being just another secondary character in the series to an incredible lead. I loved seeing their relationship progress. It wrapped up a little quickly at the end with too neat of a bow, but it was still a sweet romance.
Overall, Deception provides a compelling ending to a great suspenseful series. Romantic suspense fans will love this gripping tale.
