A stunning read, Betrayal gives a lot of answers that I had from the first book. Every page of this book was full of suspense and you get both a mystery and a thriller, which is fantastic. I’m really enjoying this author’s books and I felt that every time I thought I had an answer for some of the multitude of mysteries that we get in this book, Katherine Hawkthorne spins it in a unique way.

Wow!! Absolutely fabulous!!!
I can’t say enough about this book and this duet. It has a complicated plot, with great characters, beautiful writing, 2 strong alpha dominant men, a strong leading lady, sizzling chemistry, super hot scenes but not super graphic.
I couldn’t get enough. I adore the 2 men but I’m glad with her final decision. I’m sad that the ride is over. I could always use more graphic with the sex scenes but that’s just me.
I would give it more than 5 stars if I could!!
after reading book 1 this clears up some loose ends and start asking more questions? this was a very intense read and i really liked and i highly reccommend it. The life of Katherine, Stephen, and Ethan lives well never be the same.

This story jumps right into where it left off, and it is a wild ride. There is so much mystery and intrigue you don’t want to put it down in case you miss something. The tension is crazy between Ethan, Stephan, and Kat. My heart was breaking for Kat because whatever choice she made she was going to make one of her men sad. Thoroughly enjoyable and riveting.

We had a murder mystery, romance and suspense all rolled in together in the first book. It kept us guessing, trying to figure out ‘Who Done It’.
Now the saga continues. The lies, the deception, the secrets… how do they unfold? It’s truly captivating in the continuation of this gripping romance suspense. It’s not just a mystery, it’s also a thriller. It keeps you turning page after page for answers.
Anytime there are politics, there seems to be secrets just waiting to be dug up. Enemies are eager to expose and reveal…. doesn’t matter if it’s truth or not… as long as it’s spinned to damage the opponent. And how does all this affect and impact Kat, Stephen and Ethan. One thing is for certain … betrayal is waiting in the wings.
All the puzzle pieces finally fall together and we find out Who Done It.

This is book two of the Secrets, Lies and Deception series. You must read book one, Deception first to obtain the complete story. This read wastes no time in making sure the reader’s attention is refocused on it and just as quickly has you back dancing on the edge as the excitement, tension and your need for answers grows. This intense read is filled with drama, heat, emotions, mystery, suspense, secrets and stunning twists. Entertaining, engaging and totally consuming! This is my elective, truthful review.
Wow, I love this book. Kat is torn between Stephen and Ethan. Her ultimate choice is the right one. The mystery and suspense is intense. No cheating with an HEA!
