There were a lot of twists and turns in Brooke and Declan's book it was just the right amount to suck me and keep me reading right until the very end. The attraction between these two was immediate right from their first meeting. This was a good read with plenty of steam

Not good

I couldn’t even finish the book. It’s just poorly written and makes it difficult to read. Not an author I will follow.

This is the first book I have read from this author. It was given to me as a gift. I absolutely loved this one. It was interesting, had some suspense in it, intriguing and some romance. It hits and grips you right from the start. Brooke now has to run the family business. Unfortunately she doesn't know the accounting side of the family business. But Matt the person who does she believes she can trust. Little does she know she will soon learn that she will not know who to trust. I loved the storyline and the characters. I absolutely loved how well written this one was. It keeps you gripped in the storyline and the characters. It is a page turner in wanting to know what is going to happen next. I love Brooke and Declan together. There is some strong chemistry between them. Danielle gained a fan with this one and I cant wait to read more from her and this series.

I loved this suspense romance, it kept you on you toes. Brooke has trust issues, but ends up giving the trust to the wrong people, even knowing it to be wrong. As for declan, has goals and fears are held back by his family but his perseverance with the woman he loves turns his life in a new direction. This is a three way story, telling who is the bad guy and the girl doesn't know who to believe. Great read.

I went into Deceived expecting more romance than anything else, so I was left disappointed by my own expectations.
The focus of this book was more on all the drama and wild things that kept happening, and I found that I was both interested and bored while reading. There was so much drama, that it started to feel repetitive, and I didn’t feel like I really knew any of the characters. I couldn’t connect with them, and so I just felt like they were all acting badly in the situations.
Brooke is the new owner of Knowlton Winery after the death of her parents. Her accountant, Matt, has always creeped her out, but she never does anything about this. If she’d only dealt with this situation in the beginning, the whole book wouldn’t have happened. Declan works for his dad’s property managing business which means that he’s Brooke’s landlord.
When Declan goes to investigate why the winery hasn’t been paying rent, he sees Brooke. There was a little bit of insta-love feelings during Brooke and Declan’s first meeting, and their relationship formed from there. We don’t get to see much of their relationship building up, and instead we only get the parts where they’re already acting like they’re falling completely in love.
I thought the writing was good, and I was interested enough in the book to read it in one sitting, but I didn’t really get a lot of romance or suspense out of this one.
