The Billionaire's Temptation #4
Deception and Surrender
Maddie’s never had any luck at love, especially not with three over-protective brothers hanging around. And with her family’s newfound fortune, she can’t help but wonder if potential suitors are actually into her—or if they just want to get their hands on the money.
When Damien, her brother’s friend, comes into the picture as a business partner, Maddie knows he’s strictly off limits, despite being damn good looking, and already the heir to a massive fortune. Yet despite knowing better, she can’t help but fall Damien when she strikes a bargain with him, asking him to catch her up to speed on everything she’s clueless on—sexually.
Damien knows Maddie’s proposition is a bad idea, especially since the Rykers will likely beat him to a pulp for touching their sister. Yet he can’t help himself when it feels like the hourglass to his freedom is trickling through its last grains of sand. He just needs to decide if true love is worth what he stands to lose, and whether or not Maddie will ever forgive him for his deception.
*** This novel contains a Happily Ever After ending. Due to the adult language and explicit sex scenes (with some light BDSM), this book is for adults only.***

OMG...I wanted to b!tch-slap Damien!!! How can you keep such a secret from someone you supposedly love? Wanted Maddie to tell him to go to he!! and move on with her life. Sad to say that the only book in this series that I truly enjoyed was Morgan's story.

What an awesome story
This was such a romantic and erotic book. The characters were so loveable and intriguing. True love conquers all. I loved the update in the beginning on little Lexie and the parents of the Rulers. Great Read

Deception and Surrender...
A great read. Predictable at times. Funny and sexy. It wasn't as good as the other books in the series but it fit in the series all the same. Dramatic turns and angst filled twists. I just wish Maddie was less naive and more believable. She came from the hood with 3 overprotective brothers but ran like a baby over some BS. Not my favorite book in the series.

Not my kind of hero
I like this author but this book frustrated me more than anything. I know this is a trend in many romance books but can we stop with gorgeous beautiful women thinking they will never get a man. I know she had over protective brothers but to have not one man enough to take them on? *SPOILER ALERT****************************** What kind of relationship does the main characters have except sex. They don't really share information about each other except what they like in bed. There is no relationship outside is the bed. Yes the"Hero" doesn't want anyone else to be with his woman of the week but many jerks are the same way. What kind of man agrees to marry a women because his dad will disown him. Instead of working to save money and go it on his own he goes around and sleeps with first his fiancee..because that's the way to see if they will be good married??....then as many women as he can. When the heroine asks what's wrong he doesn't want her to "worry her little head" . I started off giving this a 3 but there was too many issues. I have read each book in this series right after the other but am taking a break after this one.

Deception and Surrender is the latest in Cali MacKay’s fabulous The Billionaires Temptation Series. She also added a novella in the beginning of the book that is so very heartwarming. It is a bridge between Morgan and Maddie’s story and reunites some of the characters from the previous books. It is a lovely and passionate reunion.
Deception and Surrender is my favorite book in the series. That is a difficult statement to make because I love every one of the books. Maddie is so fun and Damien, I believe he may truly be a Greek God! This book has some steamy scenes so you shouldn’t read unless you are over 18. Thank Goodness I was over 18 decades ago. This is a page turner and I was happy to see that some of the secondary characters that I am crazy about will be having their stories told. I hope Cali is writing fast, until then, I will reread the series.
If you love Sexy Alpha males, lovely ladies and a misunderstood scoundrel or two. Grab the books in this series and warm up your winter.

Another great romance !
Romance, secrets, hot sex, and more hot sex. Cali MacKay has come up with a great story for the only sister of the sexy Ryker brothers. Who better than Quinn's best friend Damien to teach her the way of love? Of course, it is supposed to be good fun with no hearts involved. Sure! What happens when they fall in love but there is a catch? The lies catch up with Damien and Maddie runs away. Will Damien be able to explain and be forgiven? Can Maddie live without him? What happens between Madrid and Damien is Hot, Hot, Hot!!! This whole series is awesome. Best read in order because you will meet the older Ryker brother's as each player meets his Everything! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Great book
Another great book and I love how you keep the main characters in the book together and monogamous throughout the whole story. It is really a great touch. The only thing I always complain about is when there is no epilogue. An epilogue should be a standard part of the book. It is one of the best parts of the story for the fans.
Also I thought that the rest of Morgan and Zoe's story was supposed to be coming out in January. What happened? It would be nice to continue the story of the parents as well. It was just getting good when you ended it.
Congrats on another great book and I would definitely recommend this book to others. Gina

“This isn’t what I had planned, but…after all that we’ve been through, after the wedding yesterday…I just don’t want to wait anymore. I know what I want, and that’s you, love. I know this hasn’t exactly been like one of your perfect romances, but you’re all I need—all I’ll ever need. And I don’t want to spend another moment of my life where you’re not mine.” Damien kissed her cheek as his hand came out from under the covers, holding a huge princess cut diamond ring delicately between his finger and thumb in offering. “Maddie…would you do me the great honor of marrying me and becoming my wife?”

Cali I loved how you finished Morgan and Zoe's story. This book was Maddie and Damian's story. Damian lived in London where he ran his company's firm. Maddie and Damian were working on a project together. Damian is Quinn's best friend. He knew Madison was off limits because her brother always told him that but he couldn't help how much he was attracted to her. Maddie always liked Damian even when she was a teenager and her brother was in college with him. their story is heart warming and sad. Damian has a secret that could ruin his relationship. This book does contain profanity and sex scenes. It is a good read.

I really enjoyed this series overall. I felt that each book got better and better up until this one. It started out somewhat predictable, but even with that it was holding it's own. But in the second half it started feeling like there was almost a staccato going on in the flow of the story. It felt jittery. And then the very end just fell apart like the air came out of the balloon instantly. I realize the others ended abruptly, but in the others, there was the hint, impression that it would continue in the next book, which it did. Not the case for this one. Overall, I did enjoy it.

a young woman gets romanced by her brother's old friend and falls in love. just one problem..he's engaged to another woman that he never told her about. seems his dad forced him into an arranged marriage of convenience to his best friends daughter., who finds him in bed with the young and now broken hearted woman plus a broken hearted ex fiancee. he wins the broken hearted woman back after breaking his engagement, so happy ending more or less. my theory is that once a cheater always a cheater.

Another his well done
So glad Maddie was able to find love despite the overbearing brothers. I could have strangled Damien for the heartbreak he put Maddie through. I mean there was just no excuse. How do you ask for trust then knowingly withhold information for your benefit. Ugh!!!! If they weren't so good for each other I'd have wanted Maddie to just be done with him altogether. I'm happy they were able to overcome their obstacles though because they do belong together.

I enjoyed the book but not my favorite in the series. I was glad that the novella with Morgan and Zoe was added. I love that things work out. Would live to read about Gabe and Hadley's wedding as well as Morgan and Zoe's. Very interested with the series continuing with Jake. I really do enjoy the series. All worth re-reading.

A little too much over the top sex
Real life is not like that and by the 4th book became distasteful. No longer interesting became old hat. Not a fan of analyze either I guess or abuse. I have read your other books but these predictor me. At least you did.t continuous take the Lord's name in vain

Deception and Surrender also contains the Novella The Billionaire's Reunion.
The Billionaire's Reunion in where Morgan and Zoe get to meet their daughter.
Deception and Surrender is Maddie and Damien's story. Cali MacKay does it again with a well written story. Will we hear more about Damien's brother, Zane, in the future?

Billionaire Tempation
Decent read. Lots of sexual content on the lines of a 50 Shades type book, but different. Each book was based on a different character & their story with references to the others from the previous books. Would liked to have seen more info on the other characters, but still a good read as there was a story line more than just the sexual content.

Very steamy.
This series has been a great way to pass the summer. Very erotic and steamy. Good plots and great caricatures. Can't wait to read the next installment. I just loved it. I want to know how it goes with Zach and Cassandra. Next in line is Jake but he has not been in the plots very much so we will see.

Good
I really enjoyed the Reunion. I was glad Morgan and Zoe got their little girl and Mom a nd Dad got to have a happy life but the story was too short. As for the other part a little too much of the DARK Side for my taste but the story itself was good.
