Deceitful Choices ~ C.A. Harms

AmazonUS / AmazonUK

Some lies you just can’t come back from. 

The damage is too deep. 

The effects are too strong, and the path they lead you on can be devastating. 

One lie only led to another as Lindsay tried to be someone she wasn’t. She wanted just one moment to pretend she didn’t live the life she had been cursed with. 

She wanted to live without regret. 

Live for the moment. 

She wanted to laugh and smile without feeling as if at any moment something or someone would corrupt that happiness. But all lies have a way of resurfacing. Those deceitful words can come back to haunt you, leaving you as the one heartbroken and alone. 

Zack had taken a trip with a fellow Navy SEAL. Just a weekend away to regroup. Never had he intended to find the girl who would jumpstart his heart. 

Only then to destroy it. 

But the shattered pieces of his trust weren’t the only things he left behind when he walked away from Lindsay. There was now an innocent life that had been thrown in to the mix. 

But Lindsay wasn’t the only one who lied... 

The odds were stacked against them. There was someone doing everything they could to keep them apart. 

But when the truth is told, and those secrets are revealed, they must decide if they have what it takes… 

To survive the deceit.

I think Deceitful Choices was a perfect name for this book. There was a lot of fibbing going on in this book and it wasn’t just one of the main characters. This book was super angsty (yes, that’s a word) and gut churning. I loved it!

Zack is a gorgeous, smart and sexy Navy Seal…Hello, what’s not to like! He lives his life on respect and trust. When he meets Lindsay, he realizes she’s not like all the other girls that throw themselves at him. She’s not uptight or only attracted to him because of his job or status. She’s genuine, or so he thought.

Lindsay is sweet, smart and often ostracized by other girls around her. She thinks it’s because she doesn’t have the money or the same home life that the other girls have, but I really think they hate her because she’s beautiful and has a personality that guys fall for. Being brought up in a home where her parents hate her, she just wants a different reality for once. One lie ultimately destroys the one amazing night she had with Zack, utterly severing whatever could have been.

There is one character in this book, and I will not mention her name, but I wanted to punch her in the face. She was conniving, deceitful and the true liar of this whole twisted mess. C.A. did a great job writing her, because I could not stand this character and I think that’s exactly how she should have been portrayed.

I can’t get enough of C.A. Harms’ books. With the action, love, sex, and heartache that go on in her books, I know she’ll fix my heart and wrap it in a nice bow by the end of the book. The characters are always well written and the story flows seamlessly. Deceitful Choices is another One-Click title.
