Elle says…
Love & Deception by Chantel Rhondeau is the first book in her Agents in Love Series. This novel is full of suspense, twists, and an abundance of steamy romance.
Carlie Hollis is running from the skeletons of her past. All she wants is to escape and start fresh with a clean slate. Nick Kendall is a spy on a mission and his target is Carlie. Their connection is electric and neither can deny their chemistry. Can he win the girl without compromising his mission? Or will their attraction put them both in jeopardy? I loved this couple. Nick is oozing sex appeal and Carlie is easy to adore. Chantel Rhondeau absolutely nailed their relationship dynamic and wrote some hot and heavy bedroom scenes.
The novel from the beginning captivated me. I immensely enjoyed how the story was a blend of romance and thrill. The plot kept me constantly guessing what would happen next. This was definitely a rollercoaster of drama. Love & Deception was unpredictable, engaging, and there was never a dull moment. I never knew who to trust and who had ulterior motives. This novel was refreshing and enjoyable!
I cannot wait for the next installment in Chantel Rhondeau’s Agents in Love Series. Love & Deception is addictive and will hook you from the start. Become familiar with Carlie and Nick and enjoy their wild journey through danger, intrigue, and love.
Thank you so much for reading and being a part of the tour!
