Book Synopsis

Brides of the Kindred 24: Deceived

Anna is living in a nightmare. Stolen by raiders from the arms of her loving family, she is bought by a hulking Trollox for breeding purposes. She wants to die until her thuggish captor buys a new robotic cook who also doubles as a guard for the house. At first Anna thinks he is just another Replicant, without emotions but soon she finds herself pouring out her heart to him. It’s safe because he’s just a machine so she knows he’ll never hurt her like a real male would. Is it wrong to think that she’s falling in love with him? Especially since a machine can’t really love her back…

Dark is a Kindred warrior on a mission. He must steal the Shannom-rah, an ancient crystal capable of storing trillions of personalities, before the enemy of his people gets it. In order to do this, he has to infiltrate the home of the Trollox collector who owns the priceless artifact. Posing as a Replicant, he is in the perfect position to complete his mission. But he didn’t count on finding a female in danger. Despite his determination not to get involved, his heart is torn by her plight. As his feelings of protectiveness for Anna grow, he longs to tell her the truth about himself. But he knows doing so will destroy her faith in him—she has been hurt so badly by living males, she can only trust him because she thinks he is a Replicant.

When the truth comes out will Anna still care for him, or will she feel betrayed knowing that she has been…Deceived?

*Author's Warning: Though I have tried to handle it delicately, anyone with a history of past sexual abuse may want to read with care because my heroine Anna, is a survivor of a sexual attack. I don't write this kind of book lightly or gratuitously, I wanted to write about love and hope and healing and redemption. I hope I have achieved that goal with this book and that it will bring hope to others.
Hugs, Evangeline

    What another amazing story for this author. I just love the Kindred bride stories. Let me warn you, this good cause some triggers but the author portray a survivor very well. I can not imagine what it was like for Anna. Knowing she might not survive, missing her family, and feeling so alone. She was being abused and this had to wear on her mentally knowing the abuse was only going to get worse. I just loved Dark which is what is part Dark Healer and part Blood Kindred. The last thing he had to expect to find on this undercover mission was a pretty woman needing help. The author was very creative when writing this story. There was also some very touchy subjects in this story that I think the author handled very well. I believe stories should not always be sun shine and roses but portray the good and the bad. I think the author took a bad situation and shown how one can survive and come out strong. This was truly a great story and glad I got a chance to read the book.

    This one follows along with the storyline of the previous 24 books so you can predict what’s going to happen. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. But it may be a bad thing when you’re skipping the more romantic bits just to get to the predictable story line. The main character was handled nicely. The author has done this character before and each time she gets better at writing that kind of history which gave this an extra star from me. However I now remove one star on principle if a certain character appears which is why this rating is a 3 and not a 4. Ever since the 15th book it seems like the goddess can now speak to everyone. It totally discredits the purpose of the priestesses and Nadia. Why was a mouthpiece so important if she can intervene every single time. At this point it just feels lazy writing.

  • Awesome read!
