Okay Logan you have done it again. I don’t know where you get this ideas of yours but let me tell you that this book was short and sweet and never once did it lack anything. They way that you described in such detail had us thinking we’ll maybe this can work or I didn’t see that coming, to…that’s makes perfect sense. Clementine is this sweet, funny and caring woman who really doesn’t want to marry Gabriel. But when she realizes that he becomes a big part of her….let’s say fantasies things change with their dynamic. She’s a mom who loves her son but when she finds out that after a time she will get that amount she doesn’t know if she can handle it. She’s so screwed but that’s love for you. Then there’s Gabriel, this billionaire who just buried his grandfather but learns that he has to marry or loses it all. Can I just say he sounds damn sexy! Okay back to this, things are starting to get real now and we’ll have to find out in Groom what’s going on. So in conclusion let me say well worth the read. I thin m it’s one of his best works. Can’t wait for book 2. I give this book 5+ stars. I happily read this book and give my honest review.
I need Groom STAT!!! What just happened? Logan Chance will have you needing more with the end of Bride! And I freakin’ love it. The story line has you guessing what is next. Once you think that you have figured it everything out, you find out you don’t. I love the suspense. I love the tension. I am lit up with the chemistry between Clem and Gabriel. Logan has wowed this reader! The story line had me glued to every page. Now time to play the waiting game and anticipate what will happen next in Groom.
The anticipation for a new read is always more than a surprise. Bride was full of chemistry, connection and the feelings were palpable. I liked the way the characters knew each other from childhood, never realizing the impulses they had until they were near each other, seeing each other for more than what had been portrayed. This was an easy read that I couldn’t get enough of and what a perfect ending to lead you in to so many imaginative scenarios to come. Great job Logan, you always give me so much to look forward to.
I feel a bit sad since I was really looking forward to this book but now have mixed feelings about it and am debating between 3.5-4 stars.
This is first part of a duet and it’s more about build up of what’s to come.
I liked both main characters Clementine and Gabriel. The chemistry between them was palpable and sizzling hot even though they both try to deny it.
It ended with a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next part and see how it will all play out.
However, I feel that characters and plot could have been more developed. I couldn’t help but feel like there was something missing. I really hope the next part will give characters more depth. It all felt like long prologue and with so many unanswered questions I worry that the next part will feel rushed.
I will start off by saying I flew through this book, from the first paragraph I was sucked in. That being said I need the next book like now….please and thank you.
I liked the characters in the book, they are developing into not who I thought they would be at the start and I am loving the who Cinderella type feel it has. And the bit of mystery that has developed has me intrigued.
Now the only downside, this book has a HUGE cliffhanger at the end. If you dont like cliffhangers then wait until both books are out before you read them.
This book absolutely blew me away!!
Logan’s writing continues to amaze me , with each book I continually say “ This is my favorite read of his”
BRIDE is filled with just the right amount of angst and plot twists and suspense that you will not see coming, leaving you absolutely in awe.
This story will have you guessing and trying to figure out what’s going to happen next and a who’s who thrown in there also. The hints are there (I think lol ) but now to try to piece it together, I just love how Logan gives us, just enough, and then we’re left trying to figure everything out which is something he is so well known for and keeping us so immersed into his amazing storytelling.
I love how we see a side of Gabriel that he hides with most people but Clementine has a way that can make him break his walls down every so often.
Clementine is a force to be reckoned with, she’s strong willed and the banter between Gabriel and her is at times hysterical. Gabriel has met his match with Clementine…. she is nothing at all like anyone he is used to dealing with, and Clementine is not going to bow down and make life easy for him. As much as they try to deny it, the chemistry between Clementine and Gabriel can set your e-Readers on Fire .
I couldn’t put this book down, it pulled me in from page one until the end….. and what an ending we get, bravo Logan with this perfectly written ending and leaving us even more anxious for the conclusion with Groom,
We also get to hear from another character of Logan’s in a previous book of his, and that was such a great surprise.
I highly recommend you one click this ASAP you will not be disappointed with this brilliantly written story I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars it more than earned it.
Ok I’ll be rocking in my little corner now waiting for Groom to release. Lol
Clementine really has no desire to marry Gabriel Prince. But, his grandfather is manipulating Gabriel from beyond the grave. If Gabriel wants to hold onto his empire, he needs to wed Clem. Clem has a history with the Prince family, not necessarily a good history either, so a marriage to Gabriel? Unthinkable…or perhaps not, considering she’s got a son to give the best life, and she’s got dreams of her own. The money Gabriel’s offering could certainly help her achieve both those things. Now the question is – can she enter a marriage of convenience with Gabriel, and keep her heart (and body) intact?
Whew, Bride is sizzling! With tension. With secrets. With suspense. And with some serious chemistry. Although it’s obvious Clem and Gabriel’s feelings are changing, neither wants to admit it, especially Gabriel. This was supposed to be merely a convenience, but we all know things rarely stay convenient when hearts are involved. And damn are these two involved! Not just because of the marriage, but because there are other players and other forces involved. Will Gabriel and Clem make it through to the other side of their honeymoon? I am dying to know! I can’t wait for Groom to land on my Kindle!

Bride, the first book in the Deceit duet, by Logan Chance is full of mystery, chemistry and two very interesting characters. Gabriel needs to get married to have everything he has worked so hard for. He had no intention of marrying anyone, but now he has no choice. And now he must marry a woman who drives him crazy and he wants deeply. But Clementine is not giving an inch. She may marry him, but she will not give in to him. That is how she stays in control. But Gabriel knows all about control. Now that their walls may be crumbling, danger is at every corner, are either of them safe? And that ending! I cannot wait to see where this story goes! Another great read from Logan Chance!

Happy reading!
Well, well, well this first book in the Deceit duet had me completely hooked!
I loved the whole mysteriousness that’s going on here and I want to figure out what the heck is going on.
I want to find out so many things and I’m sure when we get that second book all our questions will get answered.
I think my only complaint here was that the book was too short 🙁 Not that the story wasn’t good, because it was damn good, but it felt like I started reading and got so immersed in the story that when I got to the last page I couldn’t believe how fast that time went.
Clementine has her little secrets that I need her to unravel and I want to know why the whole bride and groom set up happened. What’s going on with Gabriel and his brother, what are their motives in this arrangement?
AHHHH so many questions!!
Definitely can’t wait for the 2nd book to hit my kindle so I can finally get to the bottom of this.
Logan Chance has really intrigued me with his writing and can’t wait to read more from him.
OMG!! This 5 star, fast paced, unpredictable, tension filled read is just what I expected Logan to deliver! Clementine is self sufficient while Gabriel comes from money, two people who gain something from an arrangement neither of them wanted. Just when you’re caught up in the heat and ready for the action he deliciously closes the book! He’s definitely known for his twists and I can not wait for GROOM!
Bride had me captivated from the beginning and has not let go. I was so immersed in the story that when it ended I was frantically swiping for more! Groom cannot come quickly enough, I need to know what happens between Clementine and Gabriel. Logan Chance writes these characters in a way that has you picturing them so easily in your mind. They have it all – witty banter, tension filled exchanges, pent up sexual frustration, moments of longing and need for each other. Their chemistry is undeniable and I cannot wait for the two of them to admit it and give in to it! Bride is a scintillating book and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
From the very first chapter, I was hooked on this story by Logan Chance. He has the magic of weaving the dark and deceit with the slow burn of romance. This story brings us Gabriel and Clementine who are bound for marriage due to his grandfather’s will. Neither want to marry the each other, so they come up with a deal.
This story had me on the edge of my seat, I read it all in one sitting. I have my predictions or theories on what will happen next.
To Quote a line from the book, Like Supporting Characters in grander love story. I see Gabriel and Clementine supporting characters while Grandfather was the main component here that started the downward spiral.
This book is so worth more than 5 stars! Read this book and you won’t be disappointed.
Crap on a cracker! It was over too soon. I need Groom ASAP..is it August yet?
Nothing is as it seems.. I can’t wait to see how this mystery unravels.
I really like Clementine. Gabriel is undeniably sexy and intriguing. Their chemistry is off the charts!
Ronin..the wildcard. Who really is Bishop?
So many questions…

More…I need Groom now. This book you will not be able to put down! It grabes you and sucks you in from the very beginning. It’s wonderfully written and it will leave you wanting more.
Gabriel and Clementine are an unlikely couple, but when the situation dictates it, will they or won’t they? Grandparents rule…
Throw in the rascal brother, Ronin, and the lovable little Tennyson, and you find yourself caught up in so many emotions.
There are secrets, but how will they unfold? This cliffhanger is impressive.
Logan Chance has written a heartfelt, steamy page turner that will have you wanting to read this in one sitting!
Can’t wait to read Groom in August!
Logan Chance brought another amazing story!!! I can’t wait for Groom to find out what happens next. Clementine and Gabriel have intense sexual chemistry and attraction. The cliffhanger ending leaves you wanting more and the suspense draws you in and keeps you guessing what will come next.
Gabriel Prince is wealthy and gets what he wants. His grandfather left a stipulation that he had to marry Clementine to keep his business and wealth. She has no idea why she would be chosen to marry Gabriel. She’s a single mom with no connections to the wealthy except for her deceased sister who was the nurse to the older Mr. Prince. Clementine is reluctant at first, but knows her son would be set for life with this marriage.
I really can’t wait for Groom!!! I need more!!!
Mansion of Lies
The start of this duet was all about the build-up. The author painted us a picture of a wealthy groom-to-be and the life he was offering his future wife. Their union would not be based on love, yet mutually beneficial.
Clementine is a strong, independent woman. She has responsibilities, but when offered a future she could never even imagine, it’s too much to pass up.
Gabriel needs Clementine and he has his reasons. He’s incredibly handsome and wealthy. He may just be every woman’s dream man…except hers.
This story will leave you wondering. There are many unanswered questions, but I have my own predictions. I am interested to see how this plays out.
There are lots of moments to enjoy in this story. I do enjoy the tension between Gabriel and Clementine. There is pent up sexual tension between the two and neither one is willing to give in to their attraction. The two of them claim that they dislike each other and yet I think that the barrier slowly melts the more time Gabriel and Clementine spend together. Gabriel is not just a broody hot alpha male. He can be kind and compassionate and I think that surprises him more than anyone else. Clementine tries hard to resist Gabriel. In a way, I think she is trying to keep her distance because if she views him as a monster, it will be easier to walk away.
I enjoyed reading this story. There is intrigue and so many secrets left to uncover. Plus, I have so many questions. Who is Bishop Blackstone? What is the danger lurking in the dark? What secrets is Clementine hiding? And what was Joseph Prince thinking when he left his will? I’m looking forward to reading Groom and discovering more.
I am hooked on Logan Chance’s part one of his Deceit duet. Meeting Clementine, Gabriel and little Tennyson, and reading the start of their story and all the secrets they are keeping. I can’t wait for the second book in this duet and find out their connection to Bishop Blackstone.
Ok Wow this is the first book I’ve actually read by Logan and I have to say I’m impressed and now wonder why 1. I haven’t read him before now and 2. I have quite a few of his books on my kindle so I can rectify #1 asap!! I really enjoyed this book it took me on a whirlwind of wondering what,why and how. And even though I’m still waiting on some, ok most of the answers I’m enjoying the ride to get there. Learning about Clementine and Gabriel and watching them as they maneuver around what they are in the middle of is intriguing and I can’t wait for the next book to find out all the answers to everything I need to know. Even though you are still left with unanswered questions I would still recommend this book before the other one comes out. It really is good and it’s a quick read. By Tina
