Publisher's summary
Love! Julia Croft never thought she would actually fall in love with the man she set out to mislead. Surely he would forgive her if he knew the truth. Could he be so cold-hearted as to not see what her brother meant to her? Would he see that it was a matter of life and death that brought her to this deceitfulness?
Deceived! How could Caleb Armstrong, have allowed himself to be drawn into being enticed by a woman who merely used him? Now that he knew her ruse, he could easily rid himself of Julia Croft and her brother Miles. Surely there was a woman somewhere who could overlook his gimp leg. The most plaguing problem would be - could his heart ever forget her?

Sadie Schrock swore she would never marry.

But all of that changes when a reckless driver kills both of her parents and seriously injures her younger sister. With mounting hospital bills adding to the pile of debt her parents left behind, Sadie is left with no choice: She must marry. And not just any man—the man who saw her at her weakest and walked away.

Great Read
Any additional comments?
Shadow of Deceit by Barbara Goss was a great read. Who would think that love could come from a terrible deceit. Julia Croft has good intentions but doesn't realize the hurt she will cause. Caleb feels like no woman will ever love him since he has a limp when he walks. I loved reading this book and cant wait to read more by Barbara Goss.

Sweet clean historical romance
Any additional comments?
I really loved the plot and the story it really pulls you in to the mystery of Julia who she really is, why does she needs a rich man and who is Billy? She went from almost predator preying on a rich man to this really sweet shy unsure woman. I really wanted to say would the real Julia stand up. That really throw me I was expecting her to come back as this really sassy lady who took control when she same back as the shy sweet little thing. I am not saying this is bad it just throw me and maybe me wonder if when she hit her head it may have changed her personality.
Mr. Jordan with his very talented voice blow me out of the ballpark from his tones to his deep sexy male voice and his sweet females that are sassy, sweet and just darling. His performance is outstanding as he pulls deep inside to bring out the emotion each character is feeling bring to life a very emotional story of deceit, family love and play games with people’s emotions to save the one thing that is important to one family. If any breaks where taken I could not tell, there are no background noises, no volume change nor any repeating of words. It is a very clean and clear audio that the narrator brings to life pulling on your heartstrings. You have no trouble knowing who is talking and just what they are feeling. You can hear the anger, excitement, and sorrow in his tones as he gives a compelling performance. This is the second audio of his I have listened to, it was just as wonderful as the first.
I thought this was a very meaningful story that really hooks you. There is a powerful message not only of God but of forgiveness which doesn’t always mean you forget this is very true to our normal life. It made me really wonder can you really forgive if you can’t forget. How can you forgive if the past deed keeps going through your mind? I really liked how religion was bought into it but isn’t the big part of the story. It is a story of deception it maybe for a good cause but it still is dishonest. I really think Caleb would have given the money had Julia been upfront in her defense she had no way of knowing that. The author really makes one think how far and what will you do to save a person you love. The only issue I had was the about face Julia did for me it just wasn’t smooth. She wasn’t evil and she didn’t come across as a spoiled brat just somewhere in between one minute she is so big, a little overpowering, she comes across as a user out to get what she can and the next she was shy unsure of herself. Besides that I thought it was a great story with a powerful message and one that makes us step back and think about how we deal with issues.
From the first book Caleb stole my heart wanting a family so much but with his disability making him feel that he would never find a woman. I really thought he was going to turn to someone else but there is a twist in the story which gets a little complicated. All in all it was a very enjoyable listen full of heartbreak, lies, but the important part here is learning to forgive, forget and get past so love can grow. It is learning to trust someone who let you down, if you can get past that than you can work out anything.

Charming!💜
I’m not a period lover but so far these books are so well written that other than the reference to the mode of transportation, it felt very current. Complete with real life issues, family drama and romance, this was a heartfelt story with great characters. The narration was very good.
This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone.

Sweet historical story
Caleb was gored by a bull and walks with a limp & is self conscious about it. He works at his family's lumber yard and is loves to do woodwork. An all around 'nice guy' who no one really sees because of his injury.
Julia is beautiful. She moves to town & is staying with her brother. She finds out that Caleb is wealthy and starts paying attention to him.
Caleb is enamored by Julia and considers giving love a chance. What will happen when he finds out that Julia has been using him? Let's just say there IS an HEA!
This was a quick listen and great story of forgiveness and acceptance.

Great second book!
Caleb watched his brother fall in love and married the woman of his dreams. He wants the same, but who would even look at a cripple? To make matters worse he wants to find a wife who will love him and not his money. Can he find a woman who will love him limp and all?
Julia needs to save her little brother from the men he gambled with and lost. Now he cannot pay them back or die. Her other brother reveals the secret of Caleb's wealth to her and gives Julia a way to scam Caleb by pretending to fall in love, marry him, and then get the money she needs to help her baby brother. But the heart sometimes feels things that the head does not and Julia quickly finds out that sometimes by pretending you really do fall in love.
What happens when Caleb figures out that Julia is not all that she appears to be? Will Caleb believe Julia when she confesses her love and will Julia trust Caleb enough to help her with her problem?
When listening to Shadow of Shame (Shadow Series, Book 1) I was hoping to get Caleb's story. I knew there was more to him than what the book showed. I was so happy when I saw who the hero was! :) Another great story from Barb! I really am liking this series! Tom Jordan does another wonderful job at telling Caleb and Julia's story.

Shadow of Deceit
This is another wonderful book by Barbara Goss. I've had the opportunity now to enjoy several of her books and I can honestly say I haven't been disappointed at all. This book is another example of a good clean romance with some mystery. It's the kind of story that leaves you with a smile. Looking forward to more in this series.
Tom Jordan did a fabulous job narrating this book. He has the type of voice that is pleasing on the ears and works great in this type of genre. 😉
I received a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyed this!
I enjoyed this book. The characters were fun and we'll developed. Love is both tested and proven in this story. I enjoyed the plot and how things played out.
For those who may be put off by it, there are a couple of passionate kisses that mention them tongue.
The narrative was well done.

a passionate and exciting sequel to the first book
I thoroughly enjoyed Shadow of Deceit. The book was a passionate and exciting sequel to the first book of the series, poetically delivered by the narrator, Tom Jordan. Another great book to follow in the footsteps of the first. I’ll be looking forward to the next one.
