Sweet Deception by Ellie Jean review


I can’t let any man get too close to me…ever. But he’s the only man who has made me want to risk everything.

On my knees, looking up at Alex Raven changed my life irrevocably. Self-assured and powerful, his presence commanded attention…especially that of women. Intoxicated by what I wasn’t allowed, I entangled Alex in my web of lies and deceit…better known as my past and present. Shouldering his own secrets, he freely gave me his trust and protection. But would pulling him into my world be the future I so craved? Or mean the end for us both?

Isla
I want to be a normal twenty-four year old.
With a normal job. A normal family and a normal relationship.
But I know that it is impossible. 
I’m not allowed. 
EVER…
The Boss owns me.
Fooling myself into believing differently plays havoc with my mind.
The small reprieve from my normal life has thrown me into a tailspin.
His large powerful hands and the strength and passion he takes me with makes me forget reality.
Devouring my body expertly, making me scream his name over and over is my new favorite 
pastime. Nothing else matters.
Making me reckless and deceitful. 
But he wants me so badly. His words, his touch and his actions show me without a shadow of a doubt.
He protects what is his.
Will I still be his when I reveal my normal life? Or will we both pay for my deception?

Alex
My life is routine, busy, dangerous and with little privacy.
I’m consumed with my multimillion dollar ‘Raven Resort and Casino’ unless my family needs my help. 
Discreetly, silencing any problems.
My dick, my brain and very quickly my heart has different ideas.
Her curves, the way her body melts under my touch, her voice when I take over her completely and the persistent need to fiercely protect her throws my ordered life into chaos.
I simply can’t get enough of her.
I can tell she is trying to fight us. 
She has secrets. But I do too.
There is one thing I know without any confusion - She will be mine…

REVIEW
I enjoyed this book. I didn't get into right off the bat it was more like the second half of the book hooked me. Once I got about 3/4 of the way through I noticed I have so many questions and not enough answers. So at that point I assume there is another book since I did not know that before reading this book.

Sweet Deception is a hot book. Not so much big in the chemistry between the characters but overall it has major hotness going on.

If I am going to be honest here I have some mixed feelings. I will say I was left with more questions than answers and it kinda frustrated me. I would have liked a few things cleared up, and at the same time I know there is more coming cause you are left with a big cliffy. Also I think Isla doesn't come off as the girl she actually is. She caves and accepts far too easily and gets down and dirty quicker than a person  in her situation would in my mind. I would see her as being more closed off and not the one to jump into it especially if her family is on the line.

I still enjoyed the story and really liked the story line and characters. I will be reading the next book to see where this story is going to go. Cause when you get a cliffy you have to know!
