Deceit by Ava Harrison

3.0

So where to begin? I wanted to love this book. It had all the makings of an angsty 5 Star read. A hot British royal. A feisty heroine. Secrets. Lies. Hot sex. Sweet moments. Romantic moments. And the first 60% was fantastic and heading in that direction. Then the other shoe dropped and the last 40% of this book was drama llama overload. Time jumps. An entire year separation where the heroine

Spoiler

dates, sleeps with, and gets engaged to another man.

(Although, props to this author for having the hero keep it in his pants during the separation). It just felt needlessly drug out and over the top, and then BAM everything is forgiven..THE END.

So yea, the first 60% was close to perfect. The last 40% of the book didn't work for me. C'est la vie.
