Once upon a time, girl met boy and a love story began.
Their future was assured until tragedy struck and deceptions were made.
There are consequences to every action, and the Consequences of Deception are always the most punishing.
Sloane Evans lost nearly everyone that she’s ever loved, but losing Killian Brandt left a scar that never healed.
Four and a half years after turning his back on her, Killian steps back into Sloane’s life in the most shocking of ways, giving her no choice but to abandon her life and go with him.
Why would a man buy a woman that he hates?
Not everything is as it appears.
Love is beautiful, revenge is ugly, and lies destroy lives.
Excerpt
A horrifying suspicion takes root in my head and a wave of dizziness sweeps through me as I realize that there is only one possible reason that he is here. The only explanation that makes sense is that he wants to be the one to throw me out into the street. Somehow he’s in control of Stephen and Celine’s house, and I just bet he’d done whatever he had to do to get himself into this position. Four and half years he’d been waiting for a shot at me, and now he has it.
“You’re… throwing me out?” I try, damn hard, to keep from breaking down. The tears I keep at bay, but there is a definite warbling of my voice as I ask the question.
Immediately I am angry with myself for showing such weakness and I decide to take the bull by the horns. I am not about to give Killian Brandt, of all people, the pleasure of seeing me break, even though I have to admit to myself that I am definitely breaking. I plow on before he can answer my ridiculous question.
“What am I saying? Of course you’re throwing me out! I’m sure this has to be one of the best moments of your miserable life, you selfish son-of-a-bitch. You want me out? Consider me gone!”
I jump to my feet to go call Demi, only to come to a dead halt when Killian thunders out a command. “Sit your ass down,now.”
I am so shocked by the force behind his words that I immediately drop back onto the couch. I don’t actually fear Killian, but my response to his tone of voice is instantaneous.
For one moment, I allow myself to hope that maybe Killian isn’t here to ruin my life. Maybe, just maybe, he isn’t as bad as I think he was.
“I’m not kicking you out, Sloane. I’m buying you.”
Whatever I thought before? It was all too generous. Killian just turned my life upside down with nine life-changing words.
It hangs out there between us as I gape at him while I try to formulate a response. “Buying me…? This proves that you’re insane! I’m not a commodity. What exactly can I do for you, Killian? Be your maid?”
The look he gives me is a lot like a warning and instinctively I know that whatever he says next isn’t going to be good.
“No, you’re going to be my lover.”
My Review of Consequences of Deception by Ella Fox
Killian Brandt is a jerk, but – my God – is he beautiful to look at.
I’m sure you remember Ms. Fox from the wonderful Hart family series. We fell madly in love with those characters. Well, this book just may be her best yet. I was so totally sucked into this book from the very first page.
Meet Sloane and Killian. Sloane has known Killian since she was five, and he was twelve. That was when he saved her from bullies and she instantly fell in love with him. Killian stays away from her as the years pass (just keep reading!). He stays away until six months before her 18th Birthday when she forces him to realize they have this amazing chemistry. He keeps telling her that it’s only a few days until her birthday and they can officially be together. *insert heartbreak now*
Only tragedy strikes and Sloane is left virtually orphaned – with the exception of her best friend, Demi . Killian’s sister and Sloane’s father were taken away from them at a most pivotal time in their lives.
Killian goes off the deep end believing in a story that may or may not be true. While Sloane is still trying to figure out what she did to make Killian hate her so much. Four years later the truth finally starts to unravel, but some things just aren’t meant to be mended. Whew! This is such a wonderful read and a roller coaster of emotions! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Killian.
I have always been a huge fan of Ella Fox and this may be my favorite book of hers. I remember stalking her author pages to figure out when the next Hart book was ready to be released, but now I hope she has even more of these heart gripping, tawdry sex filled, and loveable character stories.
