This book was very aptly named!
The level of deception and villainy was epic!
So... the h and the H met when his uncle married her momma. His uncle raised him after his parent died and is the only family he has. Her momma is a failed actress who realizes she is aging and needs a sugar daddy.
The h was a child when she met the H and he was always there for her. Their relationship changed as she got older and she fell head over heels. They shared one special night together and shortly after that the H got kicked out of the house. He supposedly got a local girl pregnant and his uncle banished him.
Five years later the H returns, at his uncle’s invitation, for the old man’s birthday party. He has returned to take over his uncle’s business. The h’s momma is not happy. She starts freaking out saying that the H will kick her son out of his job at the company. On the night of the party momma convinced the h’s boyfriend to propose, on stage, in front of everyone. And he did. It did not go as planned. Seeing the H in the audience made her realize that she had some stuff to work out and she humiliated poor boyfriend.
So now h is free and the H is looking for revenge. He was wronged and she’s the reason. Buuut, in reality m, she the most innocent person in the whole book.
There is so much deviousness that has taken place, it kept me waiting for the next shoe to drop. The h, having no clue what is happening, is taking the blame for things she knows nothing about. All this to protect her mother who didn’t appreciate her at all. IMHO, her mother should have lost what she loved most. That woman was wicked. I was upset to see her walk away without any repercussions for what she did.
I enjoyed the book. There was enough drama and angst to satisfy my jaded soul. I felt bad for the h and H who lost so much time because of that woman’s machinations. At least they finally got their HEA.
