For the life of me I can not understand why Kris Kennedy isn't more popular. I guess it could be due to the medieval genre not being popular right now, but boy howdy are people missing out. I love love her books,(The Irish Warrior my favorite and reviewed here: [...] her writing style kind of reminds me of Teresa Medeiros. Anyway, per the usual with her, this book was great.

As much as I love reading her books, I hate reviewing them because her plots are so intricate, complex, and a thing of beauty that I'm left flummoxed trying to create an articulate summary.
This particular story involves Kier, a man who worked with Sophia's father for a corrupt group of merchants and Lords, who Sophia loved. Sophia has been in hiding due to a ledger that details these corrupt merchant and lord doings and everyone thinks is in her possession. Sophia and Kier have not seen each other for five years. Everyone wants the ledger and Kier wants vengeance for what was done to him five years ago. This story is a swirling vortex of betrayal, lies, and underhanded deceit.

Kier and Sophia meet up after the five years and what follows is labyrinthine plan developed by Kier to exact revenge on individuals who did him wrong. Sophia's added presence alternately helps and hinders as her life and well-being are wrapped up in this crazy cat and mouse game with the ultimate stakes not only concerning Kier and Sophia but England's very future.

I also feel it very important to note that not only does the action suspense stakes keep rising as the story goes on but also the sexual tension and bedroom scenes. Hot damn did I have to fan myself a couple times. Their sexytime was heavy on the sexy.

The story starts off mysterious, with the reader being given just crumbs of information, sags a bit in the middle, then speeds up to a fantastic finish.
Little nitpicks would be we don't get to see Kier and Sophia fall in love because they did 5years ago, a lot of players in the game can get confusing, and beginning is a little choppy leading to it being harder to stick with but it's worth it. Trust me! I'm a doctor!*

Read for a great tight plot, mentions of real life historical figures!, medieval times!, and characters that not only have the chemistry but the clever dialogue.

Deception Kris Kennedy 9781439195918 Books Reviews

I love reading about cons and trickery. It messes with my mind and I challenge myself to keep everything straight. With Deception, I really had to work hard to stay on top of everything. Sophia's dad was not a business man on the up and up. He had alot of shady dealings going on over the years and his deceit finally caught up with him. He ends up a hanged man, and with a bit of cleverness of her own, Sophia gets his ledger, where all of the shady transactions are recorded.

Kier was the victim of a shady deal and he means to have his revenge. He's been seeking the ledger as well, so when he runs into Sophia, a romance from his past, things become to heat up. They put their two heads together - keeping her alive from those that would wish her harm (She is her father's daughter and does have the ledger), and for Kier to extract his revenge. What they don't plan on, though, is falling for one another all over again.

Deception is a stellar romance with elements of suspense and clever dialogue. As I said previously, I was challenged to keep up with the trickery and cons but I highly enjoyed myself. I wish we had known Sophia and Kier in their past to know what their new relationship is based upon previously, but it is what it is. The writing is splendid and the action and character dialogue kept me engaged in the story. Danger, sizzling passion and dark secrets set the tone for this historical romance. You won't want to miss it!
My Synopsis
Sophia Darnly's world was tumbling down around her. She'd tried to escape her past, but the past has a habit of coming back to bite you. Her father, once a respected Judge, had been found to be corrupt and had been executed for his crimes. Sophia had gone into hiding and had married. Her husband, however, had died a year ago and now someone was coming after her, or more specifically, after her father's ledger. A ledger reputed to contain a detailed account of the corrupt dealings that transpired between her father and those rich and powerful men who had bribed him.

Even though almost four years had passed since his death, there is still pertinent information documented in the ledger which could be used as a potential weapon. Someone wants that information and has burnt down Sophia's silk factory to make a point that they meant business. If she doesn't hand over the ledger she'll forfeit her life. So after several attempts to retrieve the ledger from Tomas Moneychanger, a ledger which was rightfully hers, she finally decided to resort to stealing it. That's where she unexpectedly ran into someone from her past. Someone who five years ago left without a goodbye and had broken her heart.

Kieran (aka Kier) was also looking for the ledger. It was part of his plan to exact vengeance on the man who had once wronged him in the worst way. Kier had set up an elaborate scheme which featured a mysteriously absent benefactress who owned a shipping company named Mistral Company. It transported luxury goods and was looking for clients and financial backing. The story was that Kier was Lady Mistral's factor (broker) and confidant. He planned to destroy the man who had once tried to destroy him. He knew him well enough to know how he worked, for he had once worked beside him. What he didn't expect was for Sophia to accidentally, through a misunderstanding, fall into the role of Lady Mistral. The two, who did not trust each other, were about to combine their resources and talents in an attempt to get what each of them wants--revenge for him and a way to stay alive for her. They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The question in these circumstances, however, is whether or not their shared past will get in the way?

My thoughts
Ms. Kennedy has spun an intricate web of danger, deception, lies and secrets that all her characters are entangled in. Cosimo Endolte is the spider at the center who at times devours those around him. He is the Councilor to the King and described as being, "all but invisible, conducting his deals and seeing to his interests via a web of intermediaries and agents that would make a spider proud." Slowly we see the threads cut and those caught in Cosimo's web freed of their bindings as each new secret is unveiled.

Sophia is the type of character you have to admire. She doesn't get easily flustered and keeps her head when things go wrong. When figuratively one door closes, she looks to unlock another. A lesser woman would not handle all that's been thrown at Sophia as well as she does. She's smart, she's adaptable, and a touch stubborn. In some ways she's gullible, but she learns from her mistakes. She should never be underestimated and Kier knows well enough not too. While he wishes she'd never gotten involved in his scheme, he knows an asset when he sees it. Her father had raised her well in the arts of deception and he'd use everything he could to his advantage.

Kier is the son of a pirate and at age 13 he left that life and ventured out on his own. He's smart, crafty and loyal to those he deems worthy which are few and far between. Five years ago he'd been an integral part of the Cosimo's inner circle, but due to a disagreement Kier had been marked for death. If you disagree with or betray Cosimo you are seldom given a second chances. But one of Cosimo's faults is hubris. He thinks he's above reproach. That is what Kier is counting on to be his downfall.

The chemistry between Kier and Sophia is sizzling hot. Probably more than most because they'd once been in love,or so Sophia had thought. My favorite description of Kier is when Sophia walks in on him half naked as he's in the midst of exercising
'Without turning his head, he said, "What is it, Sophia?" He lowered his body down again.
She yanked her jaw shut, "I was...I thought to inquire..."
His hair, untethered, fell across his cheek as he turned to look up at her, one palm still overturned at the small of his back. He was covered in a magnificent sheen of sweat.
The perspiration covering her was not magnificent. It was hot and uncomfortable, but he, he looked like a Greek statue in the rain. His arms and back were contours of sculpted muscle.'

Overall I gave this one 5 out of 5 roses. I absolutely loved it. I loved the characters and finding out the many secrets as they were revealed. I was caught in the web of this tale which had layers to it that were uncovered as the story progressed. I also enjoyed finding out what really happened to Kier all those years ago that took him away from Sophia. A truly delightful read. I will definitely be reading more books by this author. On the Lisarenee Romance Rating Scale, this one scores a STEAM rating--too hot for a fan, but you still have a handle on things. You should use extreme caution when reading a book with this rating in public. People may inquire as to why you looked flustered and flushed.
