With Patrick & Chloe expecting a baby they couldn't be happier but as always so is there to destroy their happiness. Elyse meets a sexy race car driver & likes him from the start but there is something about is cousin Nina that makes Patrick & Ryan think she is up to something. The ended killed me and dying to read the conclusion to this series

Wow what a cliffhanger!! But I can't help but think this Book could have been combined with the last book. All I want to know is about Chloe and Patrick. Oh course I absolutely love Ryan and now he has Liam. I'm not really interested in reading about her BFF Elyse and her new boyfriend Ricky. I did devour the book to get to the mystery at the end. Patrick and Ryan knew there was something up with Chloe's new friend, Nina. She was just to friendly to Chloe, suspect. Anyway another cliffhanger, ugh. But the baby I gave to know. Reading the last and I hope finally book. Patrick and Chloe are fabulous and to see their life and love continue was amazing but the baby. Oh my gosh the baby.

If it wasn't for the crazy ending, I would feel "New Beginnings" had fallen short. I enjoy Chloe and Patrick's story, but the beginning of this installment was simply ok. The plot twist at the end I kind of saw coming. It led to a good cliffhanger and I'm definitely going to see where installment 6 goes.

So happy this series gets better with every book but I don’t think it should have been made into so many books

OMG I didn't even know this was coming out, I was so excited to read it ! Chloe & Patrick are one of my very favorite book couples & I loved this book ! Patrick & Chloe are married & expecting their first child. Life is great except Chloe isn't feeling very sexy because she's 6 months pregnant & feeling like a whale. Patrick is so sweet & does everything he can to make her feel desirable. Chloe's BFF Elyse has got a hot new boyfriend & doesn't have much time for her friend. Chloe meets Nina a beautiful, rich too good to be true woman & they become friends. People aren't always who they seem to be, will she find out before it's too late ? I can't wait for the next one !

I believe New Beginnings is the best book of the series thus far! I loved the cliffhanger and the deception. I can't wait to read Ultimate Deception (#6)! Just when I thought Eve couldn't take Chloe and Patrick's story any further, she did. And she did a great job at doing so. I enjoyed the excitement I felt while reading this installment of the series. I was left in total shock at the end. Eve outdid herself with book 5!

GOOD BUT -----
This was very short on contributing to the story line. However, what there was was good. I can't help but think that this part should have been combined with the last part and not be it's own novella. It reminds me of a weekly serial from ages ago. I will read part 6 to see what happens with Nina (last 10% of story) but if it's not the end will not purchase any additional parts. Don't care to read about Ricky and Elyse either. Just not that interested in them.

Horrible:(
there was nothing special about this book. I forced myself to keep reading and the only part that made me feel like I wanted to turn the page was the last couple pages. and even that was predictable. as much as I'd like to see if she is ok, I'm afraid to waste my money once again. After reading the "Jesse" books, I expected this book to be just as good. Sorry for the complete honesty...

This book was ok. There wasn't anything really special about it, in my opinion. It's predictable. You kind of figure out who the bad person is by the middle of the chapter and once you figure that out you can figure out what's going to happen.
I honestly wanted to see how the series ended just out of curiosity. Nothing special, but there is a cliffhanger so if you don't enjoy those then this book will annoy you.

I have to say I was skeptical that this story had much more to tell to continue on to part 5. I was so pleased. It was a huge page turner. I know with others I have read you can tell that the story is forced and the author is trying to hard to drag out a story but I did not feel that way with this series.
I was biting my nails and trying to devour the story as quickly as I could as if that would help the situation that was unfolding in the book.

I love Patrick and Chloe story. Eve does not disappoint, but warning there's a big cliffhanger!
You would think Chloe has learnt not to be so trusting but Nina is one big bitch. As for Patrick he is just so hot and caring he makes you melt.
So glad we only have to wait until 22nd September to find out what happens.

Ignorance is not bliss
Ignorance is not bliss
truly amazing reading Patrick's and Chloe's story again. Patrick is still unbelievably in love with Chloe and they are enjoying life as husband and wife, but as usual they're lots of twist and turns for this couple. can they continue to beat the odds?

When I first started reading and almost towards the end, I had an idea who was going to deceive who. Of course, how it tied in at the very end was something else. Patrick and Chloe are fabulous and to see their life and love continue was sweet. I would have enjoyed a little more Ryan, as I think he is fabulous and loved him in the prior books.
September 22, 2014
Ok so they have a business and doing great. Their marriage is going well and a baby on the way. Chloe has a new friend that Nick and Patrick aren't to sure about her but Chloe is enjoying their friendship until a secret comes out and things get bad. Can't wait for the next one.

Not often I feel the need to finish a book in a day, but that's exactly what I've done today. Book five in the Deceived series be Eve Carter gripped me and held me until I reached the gut wrenching final moment. Thank goodness I don't have to wait for the next one!

Loved it!
I've followed Patrick and Chloe's story from the beginning. I'm so glad that I waited to read this book till now because I can go straight to book #6 in the series since it's already been released. I can't wait to see how this ends!!
