Review
I went into this book totally not knowing what I was going to be reading. This hardly happens to me as I have a pretty good memory in regards to book synopses, etc. But all I could remember about this book was that I had read the synopsis, been intrigued and had it on my "to be read" list from the library.
What I got was a suspenseful romance! So not what I thought. Deception Island brings a great mix of suspense-thriller with Rafe, a soldier with a dark history, needing to kidnap an American Heiress in order to get his son back from his captors. What he doesn't expect is Holly, the American Heiress's double. Holly is strong, quick-witted, and has had to do her own share of fighting in order to survive. Together, they weather plans gone awry, and a growing attraction to each other - something that couldn't possible happen - right?
I don't have much background in suspenseful romance, but I was all over this book. My motivation to read it was actually that it was due at the library soon, haha. I'm glad I did though, because it had me turning page after page, hoping for Holly's well being, and for Rafe to be something more than what he was supposedly "destined" to be. This book is for any adventure-seeker who also enjoys a steamy romance. You won't regret reading this book!
