REVIEW: DECEPTION is the second instalment in Senna Kincaid’s contemporary, adult LOCKED SECURITY erotic,romantic suspense series. This is accountant Everleigh Bennet, and Lucius Costa’s story line. DECEPTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: DECEPTION was originally published under the pen name Sarah Peis

Told from dual first person perspectives (Everleigh and Lucius) DECEPTION follows American Everleigh Bennet as she searches for her brother in the wilds of Guyana. Never expecting to stir up trouble, Everleigh finds herself a prisoner of the South American Cartel, where she will be forced to work as an accountant for the baddest of the bad but Everleigh never expected to come face to face with her future in the guise of Lucius Costa, the man with whom Everleigh will fall in love. With the help of his right hand man Santino, Lucius puts a plan into motion to take down the man at the top, and in doing so, rescue the woman with whom he is falling in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Lucius and Everleigh, and the potential fall-out as Lucius is forced to say good bye to the woman he loves.

The world building focuses on Lucius Costa’s determination to take down the Cartel. As second in command, Lucius always thought he would gain control but trust must be earned, and no one trusted each other including our story line hero. Everleigh was desperate to find her brother, missing for months following a trip to Guyana but Everleigh will quickly discover not all was as it appeared to be.

The relationship between Everleigh and Lucius begins as prisoner and guard. Working by day as an accountant to the Cartel, Everleigh would struggle with her attraction to a man who could destroy her life but the heart wanted something the head knew was wrong, and Everleigh found herself falling for our story line hero. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Lucius’s right hand man Santino, as well as housekeeper/cook Mariana; Cartel boss Maurizio, Everleigh’s brother Archer Bennett, her best friend Thea, and the return of Gunner and Freya (Stealth #1).

DECEPTION is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, secrets and lies,family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic, intriguing and edgy; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate, dynamic and determined.

Books are my passion and I have always been an avid reader. Sneaking my mom’s romance books when I was too young to read them turned into a lifelong obsession.

And now I not only read kissing books, I also get to write them. Dark romance and romantic suspense have always been favourites of mine to read, and I hope you enjoy the worlds and characters in my books as much as I love creating them.

DECEPTION (Dark Desires Origins #2) by Nina Croft

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play

RELEASE DATE: November 23, 2020

Brave new world or the same old crap?

Warlock Milo Velazquez has always dreamed of a day when “monsters” like him don’t have to hide in the shadows. Now, on a planet far from Earth, he’s hoping the old prejudices have been left behind. Though from what he’s seen so far—not a chance.

Their new leader could make life a living hell for Milo and the other immortals illegally transported across the galaxy. Under cover, he scopes out the threat, but he never expected to find a beautiful woman locked in a cell underground. He should ignore her and focus on his mission, but instead he sets her free.

Milo has met all kinds, paranormal creatures and humans, in his centuries of life, but Destiny is like nothing he’s ever encountered before. She’s flawless, and strangely naïve, though she can spout off facts like a walking encyclopedia. He isn’t sure who—or what—she is, or why someone so innocent would be a prisoner.

All he knows is Destiny is different…and finding out why could be their only hope for survival.

REVIEW: DECEPTION is the second instalment in Nina Croft’s sci-fi, DARK DESIRES: ORIGINS paranormal/ fantasy romance series. This is Warlock Milo Velazquez, and Destiny’s story line. DECEPTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. DECEPTION and the Dark Desires : Origins is a prequel series, set five hundred to a thousand years earlier, to the author’s DARK DESIRES series.

SOME BACKGROUND: One thousand years earlier Earth was dying, and one hundred and twenty thousand of Earth’s Chosen had set off in search of a new planet able to sustain human life. Fast forward five centuries wherein the seven surviving space ships and their crews find themselves following a self-declared profit and leader, and the formation of the Church of Everlasting Life. These are their stories.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Milo and Destiny) DECEPTION follows Warlock Milo Velazquez, and the crew of the Trakis Two as they are called to a meeting where the goal of the mission is about to be changed. Milo, along with Wolf shifter Dylan, have stepped in to represent the Trakis Two, a space ship manned by a crew of supernaturals, supernaturals considered to be abominations and against the law of God. But all is not well on the planet’s surface as Milo and Dylan will soon discover when an underground armament of nuclear weapons threatens the lives of thousands of people, and an intriguing young woman crosses paths with our hero. Enter Destiny. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Milo and Destiny, and the potential fall-out as Destiny’s future is about to be revealed, and the crew of the Trakis Two are targeted for who they are, and their interference in the formation of a brand new Order.

Milo Velazquez is a warlock-the product of a demon/wizard breeding and as such is considered an abomination for his use of magic and power.Meeting Destiny, a young woman whose naïveté borders on innocence and childlike, but a woman who is quick to learn about life and everything it has to offer, gives Milo pause but our hero discovers there is more to the mission, a mission that is no longer focused on reestablishing a planet for Earth’s Chosen but a planet ruled and controlled by a chosen few.Destiny’s existence raises too many questions for the crew of the Trakis Two, an existence that shouldn’t be, yet an existence whose sole purpose is that of supply and demand.

The relationship between Milo and Destiny is one of immediate attraction yet there is something about our heroine that doesn’t quite fit into the objective of Earth’s Chosen and the Church of Everlasting Life. Destiny was ‘born’ while everyone else was in cryo- hibernation, and awoke to find herself without direction or purpose. Curious as the reality of her new-waking world, our heroine finds herself confined to a cell until a stranger’s visit affords Destiny the opportunity of freedom. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text but I have to shake my head at the need for $ex when an entire army is on the hunt for our story line couple.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including wolf shifter Dylan, and Trakis Two captain vampire Rico; geneticist Elvira; self-proclaimed leader Luther Kinross, and Silas Wynch.

DECEPTION is a story of secrets and lies, deception and betrayal; friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is edgy, engaging and captivating; the romance is passionate; the characters are colorful , energetic, and charismatic.
