The Deception by Kat Martin
Maximum Security #2

In the introductory scene Kate Gallagher is asked to identify a body in the morgue, her younger sister’s body, and it guts her. They were not close due to the gap in age between them but to lose her was tough and to find out she had been murdered and suffered sent her out to forget. Into the arms of rugged Jason “Hawk” Maddox she falls hoping to forget and get out of her head for a bit...boy was there chemistry between them!

Kate decides the police will probably never find her sister’s murderer so hires someone to help her find the man...and who should she end up hiring but...Hawk. The chemistry is still there but they decide they can ignore it in pursuit of the bad guy(s). And pursue they did. With many leads that took them to a few other cities they uncovered more than one criminal that needed to be brought down. They are well suited to working together and that is just what they do. There are some ups and downs and scary situations in this romantic suspense that eventually does end with HEA for the two of them.

What I liked:
* Kate: What a strong individual she was...and so open in her caring, sharing and sense of purpose
* Hawk: Strong protective and caring he wanted to do what was right for Kate but sometimes got it wrong and I wanted to set him straight
* The team at Maximum Security: Can’t wait to read Brandon’s story next...and hope that perhaps Wolfe or Jaxon will have have stories, too.
* That the bad guys did get their comeuppance

What I didn’t like:
* The bad guys...there were more than one or two and all deserved to be wiped off the face of the earth!
* The idea that trafficking of human beings happens in real life and though this book is fiction it reminded me of the callousness of human beings

Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in the series? Yes

This is definitely romantic suspense with a bit of steam but it is also, in some ways, fantasy. Why do I say that? I don’t think that Kate would really have been able to do all that she did in this book without more training and backstory but this is fiction so anything can happen, right?

Thank you to NetGalley and HQN for the ARC – This is my honest review.
