I'm damaged.I've been through too much in my eighteen years.Between joining the Bloody Psychos and mourning my best friend,I'm going a little crazy.If the enemy is no longer the enemy, you can jump in bed with them, right?You'd think I'd be happy with five guys in my life, but I can't control myself.What can I say? Bad boys are my weakness.The Bloody Psychos and the Devil's Armada have my back, but now I need to have theirs.Sacrifices must be made to keep them safe, and I'll do anything.Even sell my soul to a monster.The only person I'll be able to rely on is myself.Deceiving everyone I love is the only way this can go.I just wish they'd let me go without a fight.I'm going downhill fast, and no one can save me.In destroying everyone around me, I'll destroy myself too.Nothing can compare to the emotional pain of hurting the ones you love.This can only end bloody.I just never expected the one holding the gun would be my guardian angel.*Beautiful Deceit is a 72k word dark romance reverse harem novel. This is the third book in the series and it must be read in order. The first four books are Rory's, and the harem grows over those books, so other guys will be added as the story goes. The series contains dark content such as abuse and rape. It also has slow burn m/m scenes throughout. If you are triggered by sensitive content or cursing, this series is not for you.

The slow burn, the suspense, the hurting past, the progress and the love, all made this book a great read. While the suspense and mystery will keep you curious, the support and doting will make you demand for more. There's drama, passion, swoon worthy moments and lots and lots of adoration. Samantha ran when she got the chance and now, after 7 years, she's a proud owner of a bookstore. When a handsome man keeps appearing wherever she goes, Sam becomes panaroid and questions her safety. Chris, also know as Beu wants a new start. The girl at the grocery store draws him because for once there's a person that doesn't recognise him. When the two meet, there's safety, satisfaction and spark which causes them to open up about their respective sercrets. With the growing feelings and the fast progress, the past awaits for them around the block bringing danger. Now, the question remains is that are they strong enough to stay together or are the going to leave each other for fate to handle? β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ I've recieved an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

β€œYou know, they’re lucky to have you,” he stated, making me frown. β€œHow so? They don’t really have me anymore, no thanks to you,” I bit out angrily. He met my gaze and sighed, ignoring my temper. β€œThey’re lucky because you love them that much. I’ve never known anyone to love someone enough to do what you’ve done. For someone who’s always been hurt, you can sure love like you’ve never been burned.” β€œBeautiful Deceit,” by RE Bond is book three of four and picks right off where it left off in book two. It cannot be read as a standalone. It is a reverse harem - but I use that word loosely - Rory does not know what or who she truly wants at this point, and is still utterly broken from the series of events that happened in book two. There is no particular guy or guys that she is truly with. She is fighting for her crew and another at this point, but where does her loyalty truly lie? If she loves them, how does she justify her actions? This book is not short of action, steam and enough secrets and drama to fill a 747. Other things are brought closer to the surface and something incredibly unexpected is brought back front and center. I am hoping that book four brings this entire series full circle and we get some closure on Rory and her crew/s.
