Marissa Frasier met and married the love of her life at 15, and lived happily
ever after until a dreadful
accident took her husband away from her. She couldn't get
over it, and for a few months all she did was work and drank
herself into a stupor every evening. Her assistant,
Parker Thibodeaux, who accompanied her to the hospital
when her husband died, became a good friend. Marissa's
sister Leah tries to convince her to go out, but Marissa
is too distraught. Leah had loaned Marissa some BDSM
novels that had Marissa quite curious. Several months
after the tragedy, along with Parker, Marissa attends a
convention that had been scheduled months in advance.
Parker knows a lot of interesting people, and at the
convention he comes across some men who are members of a
very unconventional and elite club. Marissa is trying to
get as far away from her old married life as much as she
can. She wants to reinvent herself and a visit to the
BDSM club might be just what the doctor ordered.
DESIRE'S DECEPTION is exceptionally well written and
perfectly paced. I will say as little as possible about
the story because it is positively enthralling. Ms.
Coakley describes Marissa's pain so convincingly after
her husband's death that I felt her despair. And when Marissa gets to the club,
that's where things really start rolling, and I have
seldom read anything so riveting! Ms. Coakley has a real
understanding of the BDSM lifestyle, and the descriptions
of the club, the atmosphere, the goings-on are entirely
convincing. The author does not aim for sensationalism
but rather to give an honest depiction of two people who
embrace the alternative lifestyle. DESIRE'S DECEPTION is
not a book I might have chosen on impulse, and I would
have missed out on a fabulous read!
DESIRE'S DECEPTION is not for the faint of heart. This is
not about a little tap on the bum and silk blindfolds;
this is about heavy duty BDSM. The only readers I would
advise against reading DESIRE'S DECEPTION are those who
hate that genre no matter what, otherwise if you have an
open mind, you will not regret the experience. There is a
very solid, mesmerising story apart from the sex angle.
There are plot twists that had me reeling. Marissa and
the hero, whom I will not even name so as not to spoil
anything, are exceedingly complex and reading about what
they are, what made them how they are, what they seek, is
unforgettable. DESIRE'S DECEPTION is just the sort of
book you never thought you would love. Promise.
Life is a series of chances and regrets. The weak falter, leaving the strong to
suffer the wicked and depraved. Cole Stockton was a lion among lambs
seeking penance for his dark past, and I was only too eager to escape my own.
It starts with a flicker in the distance. A slow burn that radiates a tireless
beckoning. No matter how hard you fight to resist the allure, you succumb.
Drawn in like a moth to a flame, only to watch your precious wings scorch and
fade to dust. I had thought there were only two lessons in life needed to
survive.
One: Love, with everything you are.
Two: Live, for everything you dream. But there was a third, and that was
perhaps the toughest of all.
"Three." His warm breath fans across my cheek as his fingers dig into my bare
hips. "Fight, with everything you have."
The whip sails through the air and cracks across my sensitive flesh. And fight I
do, with everything I have.
