Deception
Two sisters, one shocking secret that could destroy them both... After being acquitted of murder, Tamia Luke is on a mission to reclaim everything she lost. Her reputation, her job, and--most important--her boyfriend Brandon. Although the scandalous secrets that once came between them are a thing of the past, Tamia knows that regaining his trust won't be easy, especially now that he's dating another woman. Convinced that she and Brandon belong together, Tamia will stop at nothing to get him back.... Fiona never meant to betray her sister, but it was the only way to keep herself out of trouble. Now that she's landed a job that has her hobnobbing with famous athletes, she's more determined than ever to hide her dark past. Even if it kills her... "Chase did a great job of penning this book as a stand alone with its captivating characters, dynamic dialogue, electric scenarios, and tempestuous cliffhanging ending." -- Urban Reviews "Chase delivers a steamy follow-up to her romance thriller Exposed ..." -- USA Today

This book was so ooo good!
OMG!!! I couldn't put this book down! I would try to read before going to bed but the story had me too amped up to relax enough to go to sleep. I kept wondering, what's going to happen next! Is that girl that crazy?!!? Will Brandon and Tamia end up together? Oh! And the smoldering love scenes!!!! Wow!!! I'm getting ready to start the last book in this trilogy. Normally, I put a week or two between books but I cannot with this one! I've got to see how everyone ends up! I HIGHLY recommend this series! Especially if you like smoldering passionate loving, surprise twist, and absolute intrigue!

Between the first and the second book, I've been sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation. From the detail in each erotic scene to the endless drama, I feel as if I'm able to truly see through the eyes of Tamia. I've never been more indulged in a series. I finished two of the three books in one week. Netflix ain't got shit on this, respectfully.

Its an ok story
The book really didn't make sense. It took close to the end of those book for a curve that didn't fit the story.
