A great combination of romance and suspense.
The saga continues, but Samantha and Benjamin take a back seat in this book to Ben’s brother, Thomas, and his love life. His past was Alana. His present is Miss Randall and Daphne, which one will be his future? He does not want to be married but his Mother and Aunt are looking to make a match.
Meanwhile, Franklin is still on the loose slaying people so he can get what he wants and he has an unknown accomplice.
I enjoyed finding out the answers to many questions that arose over the first 3 books. I recommend you read all the books in the series. The first two books have cliffhangers but this book you could if you wanted read on its own. This book concludes with HEAs and resolutions to the murders. This series kept me engaged and I really enjoyed the plot’s twists and turns. I was given an ARC of this book and chose to post a review.
Now that’s what I call a story with lots going on! I’m also happy to see that I’m not the only klutz that trips over her own feet….like Daphne! lol I have read books 1 and 2 of the Wiltshire Chronicles and couldn’t wait for book 3 to come out. Alyssa Drake did not disappoint, this one is just as exciting as the other two.
This is Daphne and Thomas’s story and it’s filled with mystery, murder, suspense, humor and heated passion. This author knows how to keep your attention, I had a hard time putting the book down!!

I enjoyed this series very much; such a quick read.
A Perfect Deception is book three and continues the Wiltshire Chronicles series. In this book we get Daphne and Thomas’s story. The storyline is interesting and filled with mystery, suspense, murder, love, and a story that held my attention until the last page. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
I thought this was such a great story. This was a great and fun read. I thought that the plot of the story was very well written. I truly cannot wait to try another book by the author. This is a new author for me.

The is the third book of the Wiltshire Chronicles and is just as wonderfully written as the first two. I really enjoyed books 1 and 2 and was excited when this was ready to review. If you haven’t read the first two, I would most definitely recommend you go back and start with book 1. Although Benjamin and Samantha are not front and center in this installment, the stories are all linked so you definitely don’t want to miss any part of it.
This story has such great elements, bringing you romance, suspense, danger, passion, and even a little humor, I struggled to put it down even for a moment because I was so engrossed. The focus in this book is Benjamin’s brother, Thomas, and Daphne. Both were such well-developed and charming characters, you can’t help but love them. Written with such riveting details, I could see and feel the story as if I was right there. The storyline flowed smoothly and the plot twists had me on the edge of my seat with all the intrigue and danger. A really well-written book that I am happy to recommend.

This is the continuation of this series with Franklin and Daphne who are drawn to each other and with the mystery of who is committing the murders makes this suspenseful romance intriguing and keeps you guessing as who is responsible.
You finally find out who is helping Mr. Morris and why Thomas and Alana’s engagement ended. This was Thomas and Miss. Clemens love story. It was exciting, terrifying in places and very action packed. Loved how Miss Clemens kept getting into trouble while try to be like Miss. Hastings, funny yet endearing. I would recommend this book and series to all.

Although a reader could get lost with the formal names, even the writers did at times, the story was interestung.
This third book in the series ties up the story for Franklin while focusing on Thomas. The elusive accomplice to Franklin is finally outed along with an old secret. Love blooms for Thomas and some old past regrets are laid to bare. The foundation is also set for the next in the series. A great read all the way through. I volunteered to read this book via Booksprout.
The 3rd book, A Perfect Deception, wraps up the mystery and who can be trusted. Thomas has choices to make concerning the women in his life and what he truly wants. There are scenes that some readers may find disturbing; but, there is humor also. If at all possible I really like this series to continue as there are many interesting characters whose stories haven’t been told yet.

A Perfect Deception (Book 3 of The Wiltshire Chronicles) by Alyssa Drake
Encore! Encore! My new favorite book of this series! This is a fast pace historical mystery thriller romance had me rooted reading like crazy. It’s action packed to the hilt with multiple plot twist and turns and is all encompassing. I loved the witty and impossibly charming characters. The women were notoriously stubborn and tenacious in finding the most improper ways to adventure and trouble. The storyline follows a truly disturbing psychotic killer and his accomplice who are waging revenge for being cut out of family fortune and for family abusive mistreatment. I enjoyed this intense murder thriller and the sweet romances that turned in to a steamy 3-4 flame fire towards the end of the book.
This could be read as a standalone however, I myself think it’s better read as the series to get the most out of the storyline. My ocd did kick in making me struggle with frustration not being able to wrap Miss Clemens in bubble wrap to fix her unbelievable clumsiness! She did not make it anywhere without injury. Good thing she was such a sweetheart.
This book does have an ending! Not a cliffhanger like book 1-2. However, there are hints of other characters looking for help in finding spouses so we will see what comes next for some of these characters.
Mature Content Note: Please be warned If you are a sensitive reader to the following situations: This book has some gruesome details of torture and murder and a couple intimately detailed steamy love scenes towards the last quarter of the book.
Happy Reading
A very good historical romantic suspense. I liked how the author was able to write such a good story. The characters and the scenes were done quite well.

Book three in the Wiltshire Chronicles series a well written story. This is Daphne Clemens and Thomas Reid’s it kept me turning pages I had to know what was going to happen. There is suspense, drama, danger, murder, one very evil villain, and hot romance. I hope there is going to be more in this series.

Outstanding book.
This is a continuing of the Wiltshire Chronicles. This book is so good just reading the prologue will pique your interest. This series gets better with each new book. This is Daphne and Thomas’s story there is so much danger and mystery with murder playing a role too. There is heat too and that makes this book a grand read. I highly recommend this book it can be read as a stand-alone, but you may want to read the other books before it first. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
I have waited a little longer for this third installment to be released but as soon as I started to read it I was back in the Wiltshire, it was just as though not a single day had gone by.
A Perfect Deception should be read after the previous books in this series because even if the main characters are not Benjamin and Samantha there are still some mysteries to solve linked to their story.
Daphne and Thomas relationship is so sweet and it was such a pleasure to follow the growth of their feelings for each other.
I recommend to begin to read this series as soon as possible.
Can I just say hold on because this story definitely took me by surprise from the first page that had my heart clinching. Oh my gosh! A murderer who is so heinous it is unbelievable.
A story with all the elements of a romantic suspense with mystery, murder, mayhem, throw in a little humor and a surprising passionate entanglement and I could not stop reading until I turned the last page.
Thomas had been jilted by Alana, a girl he had asked to marry him when she was offered money to leave him alone. But then Daphne comes to his country estate and he begins to have feelings for her.
Then a body is found and is seems that a murderer is on the loose and aiming for others. Thomas has to keep Daphne safe but can he?
Will they catch the villian and be able to find love and happiness? Wow, that is all I can say and not to miss this page turner and will have you thinking about it long after the last page is turned!
