BOOK REVIEW- Wicked Deception (# 4 of The Paladin League) by Patti O'Shea

   

 Wicked Deception is the 4th book in the Paladin League series, but can be read as a standalone.

Special Forces Sgt. Kyle Winter’s vow to stay away from the nun he can’t get out of his head is blown to pieces when he’s assigned to work undercover at the convent as a mercenary turned handyman. The arms dealer his team is after is interested in the abbey and his captain wants to know why. How hard can it be to avoid Sister Sexy anyway?

Marianna Castillo is desperate. So desperate, she’s disguised herself as a nun, and hidden in a convent. She’s been running for more than two years, staying one step ahead of the arms dealer trying to kill her. He can’t allow her to live, not when she can destroy him. And now he’s watching the abbey.

Mari needs help, but the person with the skills to keep her safe can’t be trusted. A mercenary’s loyalty is always for sale to the highest bidder, and the man who wants her dead can pay him a fortune.

But as the arms dealer closes in, she has to make a choice. Keep running or trust Kyle to fight beside her and reclaim her life.

 I liked this story mainly because of the main characters and the secrets that they hid.  

And I'd say that Marianna had a whole bunch MORE than even Kyle had.  No wonder she was running for her life.  She pulled off her disguise really well and that messed up Kyle quite a lot.  In fact it was kind of funny with him fighting off his attraction...to a nun. 

The story laid a good foundation and some good interactions between the additional people.  However there were times it felt like the story slowed down quite a bit.  I did like how it ended and with a H.E.A. included.


I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
