She grew up in a military family, lived all over the country, and was surrounded by five brothers … and, shockingly, lived to tell about it. She was also a key member of a team that managed a secret program for one of the world’s top defense companies. All of these things have given TJ an interesting perspective on life. And every bit of it goes into her writing!
Family, Honor, and Loyalty aren’t just words in a tagline to TJ. They are everything.

Holy smokes! I loved, loved, loved Navy SEAL Jonathan O'Halleran (and his entire BIG family) but I especially loved how he perfectly matched NSA Interrogation Tactics Specialist Andrea (Andi) Swain. The author knows how to write strong characters who are still vulnerable for very good reasons, and wow, does she know her military, sharing knowledge in a very informational but *highly* entertaining way. Don't misunderstand. This was a romance in every aspect, fast-paced, sexy, riveting and action-packed. The military elements enhanced it all, but didn't take over.
I'm ready to order the rest of the series! I need to know the stories for the rest of the O'Hallerans. Good stuff!

NSA agent Andréa Swain is loaned by her boss to OSI (O'Halleran Security International) to find the traitor who almost got one of them killed some time ago. She's the best, but even the best can hit a wall. Especially if that wall is made of muscle, stubbornness and mistrust, because he blames her for getting his friend killed back in Afghanistan.
I absolutely loved this one. It was light on the suspense (until the very end, and even that wasn't that suspenseful, since the motive was pretty much in the open from the start), but I didn't mind. I loved it for the main characters and the slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies romance.
Andréa was closed-off and prickly, her tough exterior hiding her vulnerable center (courtesy of her distant father), Jonathan was pretty much an asshole, hiding his feelings and his fears with anger and mistrust. A complete opposite of his two brothers (in the previous two books).
With another heroine, the asshole shtick would not have worked and with another hero, her standoffish-ness would've been annoying. As it was, these two characters were perfect for one another, trusting each other with deep buried secrets despite keeping each other at arms length. It worked. It worked brilliantly, and even though the book was also light on the romantic scenes, the tension, the growing feelings between the two were palpable.
The supporting cast had just the perfect-sized roles to compliment the two leads and the story, the friendships were compelling, the interactions and relationships realistic and the family connections and feelings tangible.
Though it's the middle one in the series (supposedly), the loose ends from the first two stories were nicely tied up, closing off the mini-arc. Loved it.

In the beginning of this book, I really hated Jonathan O'Halleran. He's a complete asshole to Andi, blaming her for the death of a friend that wasn't really her fault to begin with, but he's incapable of listening to reason at that point. Once he stops his heavy drinking and deals with his grief, he gets somewhat better, but still treats Andi like crap because she didn't follow his orders (which led her to find the suspect they were looking for).
So, the writing is good, and I like the rest of the characters, but it really doesn't completely make up for the hero's frequent douchebaggery.

Back in the 90’s I couldn’t get enough of Sandra Brown’s romantic suspense books, and once I started reading DEADLY DECEPTION by TJ Logan, I felt right at home. The author provided all the wonderful feelings of a good novel that has romance, action, punch, and a great ending that bring this novel all the way home. Navy Seal Jonathan O’Halleran and NSA Interrogations Tactics Specialist Andrea Swain butt heads working together, yet they’re so drawn to each other. However, their stubbornness leads the way. Once they get their heads together, deal with their emotional baggage, and think about what they truly want, the action of this good romantic suspense novel takes place and there’s no stopping the sparks. DEADLY DECEPTION is the third installment of the O’Halleran Security International series, which can be read as a stand-alone or part of the series. I was very delighted with my first novel by this author, and I will definitely read the other books in this series.

Solid 4.5 star
I really felt for Jonathan to beging with but boy did he turn into a douche around Andi I mean I get it but wowzer Andi is such a damn strong women but you know there is only so much she can take. Both Jonathan and Andi have deep running emotions and issues which neither want to acknowledge but its all going to come out whether they like it or not and we watch as this rumbling volcano of emotions between then and within themselves. If that isn't enough to keep me turning the page seeing how things unfold in regards to who was behind Jonathan's brothers shooting and the death of his dog is intriguing and shocking when it all comes to light! I can not wait for the next book in this series!!!

This is a truly emotional story. Of course I’m in love with this family of super hot brothers and there friends.
Andi Swain is sent in to find a traitor.
“Let me make sure I’ve got this straight.” Andi leaned closer. “You think O’Halleran Security International, one of the top security agencies in the world, an agency responsible for the creation of some of the most advanced surveillance needs my help finding who gave up the details of a secret FBI operation?”
Jonathan O’Halleran is not working in a good place after a tragedy. He and Andrea have knocked heads before. But there attraction is Undeniable.
“I want … ” Everything. You, Ashling, your family, this kooky town, my happily ever after. “Your skin on mine. Now.”
Angst, suspense and wonderful characters make this book a must read.

An action packed emotional story. Jonathan and Andi don't get off to a great start b/c he believes that Andi is responsible for the death of a friend. Jonathan's wife dies giving birth to their daughter and he leaves the military to raise her and work for his brother. Andi has had a difficult life. Her father wanted a son and she is a girl and her mother died during child birth. She was never good enough for him and she worked hard to impress him. She gets pulled back to the states to help her boss and Jonathan's family figure out who betrayed them and got his brother shot and his dog killed during a mission. Jonathon and Andi have to work together to find out what happen while fighting an attraction to each other. Another great addition to the series.

Enemies to lovers is my favorite because I love all the heated back and forth between characters. That is probably why this book is my favorite so far. I think Jonathan and Andi have the best back and forth banter. The O’Halleran family is working the case of who leaked the information that cases Caleb’s shooting. They need to tie up those loose ends once and for all. Now that Jonathan is back stateside, he’s heading up the case. Beck sends him some outside help and he’s non to happy when he sees who it is. The twists and turns in this book make for a great read. This is an engaging story that brought me to tears I was so wrapped up in the characters stories. Best one yet.

I'm loving this series...
Deadly Deception is the third book in the O'Halleran Security International and I hope there are many more to come in this fabulous series. This story is fast-paced and action-packed but also heartbreaking and emotional as there are tragedies along the way. The characters are wonderfully developed and the storyline is excellent, with danger, intrigue, misunderstandings, suspense, and romance.
Do not miss this exciting series; each story is a page-turner!
I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

Absolutely loved this story.
Johnathan doesn't trust And it because he believes she made an error that cost lives.
And if doesn't trust anyone as she was raised to depend only on herself, she could not depend on her own family.
Can they over come their issues to keep each have other safe and be one a family.
Full of action, love, friends and family.

I like this author’s style of writing; I am always pulled into the story from the get-go and this book is no exception to that. I liked the plot and the characters were interesting, fighting the fact that they were drawn to each other. Ger comfy for a few hours of reading where you will not want to be interrupted!

Loved the story! Andrea is sent to help out at O'Halleran and ends up working with Jonathan who was a Navy seal and he blamed her for a bad op. Andrea enjoyed the O'Halleran's and did her job even with Jonathan making it difficult. Lots of twists and some mystery as the two finally get closer. Loved how strong a character Andrea was and enjoyed more of this series! Will be looking for more from this author. Loved it!

Another Winner!!
Jonathan suffered some serious life tragedies. He spends so much time wrapped up in his own misery he neglects his baby and hurts other people especially Andi.
Andi is a strong woman with a tough background. She takes a bit too much lashing out from Jonathan— forgives too easily. But they are good for each other and have a beautiful HEA!
There are a few inaccuracies that bothered me. But overall a good book.

This was an awesome read. I loved that we got a kick butt heroine and a yummy hero. Although there were times I just wanted to smack Jonathan for his pig headedness. In all honesty I think I loved Andi more than Jonathan. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

This is the third book in the O’Halleran series and is Jonathan’s story. I loved watching Jonathan’s heart heal after such a loss.
And I is an absolute firecracker and I love her.

There were three main characters...
The hero, the heroine, and his dick. Seriously, his penis had a life of its own. Half of the mention of his penis could have cut out. The plot is a good one, but the writing really sucks.

I really liked the third book of this series with Jonathan and Andi. I think this series has a little bit of everything in it. Definitely a page turner.
