A Heart of Desire and Deceit

The Choosing Chronicles, Book 2

De: Elayna R. Gallea

Narrado por: Kale Williams, Meg Sylvan

How does one pick up the pieces of their life after it has been obliterated by the person they mistakingly trusted?

Ryker Waterborn's heart is broken, and his wife is a killer. Their marriage is a sham, built on a foundation of murder, lies, and deceit. They're broken. Destroyed. Yet, even after hearing her confession, Ryker cannot leave Brynleigh in the pit.

In an act of foolish love, he makes a deal to set Brynleigh free. All she has to do is go back to her maker and find evidence that Jelisette de la Point is a traitor.

That's easier said than done, but Brynleigh is left with no choice. She can either accept the deal or rot behind bars. Worse than all that is her relationship with Ryker.

Once, she thought they'd get a happy ending. Now, an ocean divides them.

She broke the rules and fell in love, but is love powerful enough to save them?

This is the second half of Ryker and Brynleigh's duet and should be listened to after A Game of Love and Betrayal.

Easy entertainment

There is nothing in this book that is a profound plot twist or unexpected world builder. You read this kind of book for easy entertainment because it just kind of is. I wanted more bad ass main character. She had one scene where I was excited to see what she could do, but I would’ve loved more. I did enjoy the writing style and chemistry between characters, but I think there was potential to do more. I would’ve loved a sequel with the two main characters being badass, crime fighters or something. It’s almost a positive that the next book is about the sister because I think this was a good place to end.

The first book was much better than this one

I don’t think I will buy the other books .
Good ending and honestly I wasn’t invested in the sister’s story therefore Im not interested in learning what will happen to her.

absolutely loved it!!!!!!

I love me a sassy MFC!! so dark so strong, and love love love Ryker, new fave

great story, wonderful voice actors

I couldn't listen to this after reading the first. Had to know what was going to happen next. Lovely story that grabs you in the beginning. Voices bring characters to life.
