She doesn’t believe him. But can she trust him?
Let me just start off by saying that Dangerous Deception was one of the most interesting Love Inspired Suspense novels that I’ve ever read. Amnesia is a well used plot device in romantic suspense but it’s almost always attributed to an injury or a traumatic event that the brain wishes to forget. I think this may be the first time that it may be drug and brainwashing induced. I loved it!
Evelyn M. Hill is not exactly a new-to-me author but this is a new genre and I have to say that she does just as good with romantic suspense as she did with historical romance. I was kept guessing, which is always a fun part of reading, and, boy, was I in for a few surprises!
I sincerely enjoyed Dangerous Deception and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any Love Inspired Suspense fan or romantic suspense lover. I, for one, can’t wait to read more from Evelyn M. Hill, she’s good!

Imagine living life in a small town and then one day a stranger shows up and tells you that you have been brainwashed and everything you believe is a huge lie. What a load to take in! All of a sudden you can no longer trust anyone and nothing makes sense.
This was the first book I had read by Evelyn M. Hill and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Every minute. I love suspense and this one ticked every box. I look forward to more from this author.
This was the first book by Evelyn Hill I read, and I wasn’t disappointed. Lots of action and suspenseful situations. She kept me guessing to the end of who all were involved in the crime.
Dangerous Deception by Evelyn Hill is a thrilling contemporary Christian romantic suspense that will have you questioning as you read.
The novel concerns truth, lies and trust. A character finds trust in short supply as she wonders just who is telling her the truth. Everything she has built her life on comes into question. Life is confusing but one thing she does know is that she can trust God to light the road ahead. This shows that it is important for us to have firm foundations in our lives.
Confusion is the order of the day as a character is told two completely different scenarios. The character leans on God, knowing that “The Lord knew her even if she did not know herself.”
If fear rules our lives we may become inactive. We need to face our fears in order to move steadily forwards.
Dangerous Deception was a nail biting read as I had to separate the truth from the lies. It was an exciting read for a gloomy autumnal afternoon.
