I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started this book but it sure wasn't this. There were so many layers to this book that at times I found myself lost in Olly and Addison. The story was beautiful and poignant. It was love juxtaposed with deception. From the lowest of lows to the highest of highs. It was a gentle reminder to that living means to actually live and not just exist.

I loved Ollie sooo damn much. His love for Addison was next level and to be honest she pissed me off so much. There were times I didn’t know if I could finish because I was so mad at her. But thank god we moved forward. Don’t get me wrong I completely get it, but still just hear the man out! Looking forward to the next Price family drama!

The FMC was so unbearably whiny. Ugh. Also it was made worse by the female narrator, did not like and only got through it by increasing the narration speed.

Sometimes you start a book, and it's the one that you will listen to all night til it's over. I gave up sleep to finish this one! Ava Harrison has a way of weaving her stories so we are drawn in and invested in the characters' outcome! This story is about Oliver and Addison. Addison flees home to avoid her ex-boyfriend's wedding. Using work as an excuse, she finds a property owned by her father in England and begins to do research on development or resale of it. When she gets there, she meets Oliver. Oliver has an interest in the land, but does not divulge his intent or his real identity. But that does not stop their relationship. Their chemistry is off the charts. These two click like no others and it's fate. But what will happen when Addison finds out the truth?Oh the wicked webs that are woven! And the pain, frustration and love that is incurred! These characters are amazing. Addison is a strong woman when it comes to business, but she is so guarded when it comes to love that there was more than one time I wanted to smack her and wake her up. Oliver is the hero we dream of, handsome, wealthy, smart but his deceit despite the reasons is something that is hard to get over. Trust is everything. And Harrison's storytelling gives us all the feels as we unravel their lives, their decisions and their love. It's a wonderful love story!
What a narration team for this book! Lucy Rivers is always amazing, and as Addison she is incredible. She nails all the emotions, makes us feel her frustration, pain and that wall around her heart like no other narrator I have heard. It's all in the emphasis of her voice, and it's perfect. Shane East too brings Oliver to the brink! He has the accent that is swoonworthy, but he also adds so much feeling to his portrayal. Oliver is a man that is full of feelings, and with East's performance we get every one of those feelings. It's a listen you do not want to miss!

One more changes everything...
Deceit makes you breathless and wary. You know all along there are lies. The title tells us so and yet you hope for more. The budding relationship is filled with possibilities, potential, and all the feels. It's just that niggling lying that makes it so devastating. It's easy to fall hard and fast for Olly. It's even easier to severe ties. But it's impossible to forget, it's impossible not to feel, and impossible not to be broken. It's impossible to forgive. Apparently we are all liars in this story...

Running away because your ex-fiance is getting married never works out for the best, but in Addison's case it leads to finding romance on the other side of the world. But can a romance that is based on lies be real? Can Oliver hide behind his fake persona and not tell Addy he is in line for the throne? Once again Ava Harrison creates a world that the reader cannot help but fall in love with and literally cannot put down. With each chapter the fantastic storytelling gets better and better and really sucks the reader in. By the end you cannot help but want a HEA. Another great read!!
