My Thoughts:
Double Deception is a clean sweet romance. It tells the story of a woman that loses her husband and must find a way to make a life for her son that is different than how his father lived. She wanted her son to know that he had choices in life. Ella travels to meet her intended to find out she wasn’t the only one that had a secret. It didn’t turn out as Ella expected which is the twist of the story. Ella finds love when she wasn’t expecting it.
The book is a quick read with likable characters that go through many struggles to find their happiness. I like the writing style of the author with the unique plots and very few if any mistakes (spelling errors, etc) in the book.
If you are looking for a short sweet romance, then this is a book/series that you would probably enjoy.
