In a society steeped in tradition, Princess Lia’s life follows a preordained course. As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight—but she doesn’t—and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighboring kingdom—to a prince she has never met. On the morning of her wedding, Lia flees to a distant village. She settles into a new life, hopeful when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deception abounds, and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—even as she finds herself falling in love. The Kiss of Deception is the first audiobook in Mary E.

This book is a triumph of its genre!Okay, that may be overstating things only slightly (there were a couple of tiny things I took issue with) but I think it fair to overlook those small things in this case. Especially considering how unfair, reactionary and very nearly malicious I think some of the top-rated reviews for this book here on Goodreads are.Warning: strong opinions incoming!I want to start out here by apologizing for what's to come. I was a bit heated while I wrote it and tried to goImma need a mani after this book, because it sure was a nail bitter! Whoosh. Pretty sure by now you all know what the big hook of this book is; you have no idea who the assassin is and who the prince is. I'll let you in on a little secret, I tried to guess and guessed wrong. This story goes between switching Povs with Lia, Rafe, Kaden, the assassin, and the Prince. I'm becoming more and more a fan of switching views in stories, and this story is an added reason to why.

Buddy reading with Cait!! Do you hear that? Yes, it's the sound of me crying because I am disappointed. Don't get me wrong, this wasn't a bad book, I was just expecting so much more. I was expecting to be blown away. Oh well. Expectations are the worst, let's be real. It can take years to mold a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered. As the blurb states, princess Lia escapes the day of her arranged wedding because she doesn't want to abide by traditions and she
"Who was this girl who thumbed her nose at two kingdoms and did as she pleased?"It seems 2017 set out to be a year of surprises for me. And if all (most?) of them will be as pleasant and delightful as The Kiss of Deception, we're in business.First of all, what I didn't expect to connect with Lia, our MC, so much and so easily. And, strange as it may seem, I don't feel like criticizing her for her decision to flee minutes before her wedding (no spoiler, it's all in the blurb): I was happy to see,
Zzz...DNF...Zzz...After turning page 165 of this book over and realizing that half of my attention was asleep......and the other half was contemplating whether or not I should trim my toenails before tomorrow's pedicure, I decided to call it quits here. You know, before my brain died. Long story short...1) I had no feel for the characters.2) Could give two shits about what happened to said characters...3) And not one single fuck about berry picking and horse travel. One through three up there^^^
So, after I struggled for days to read this book, I finished it in one sitting. I just love my poor decisions in life.The first have of the book was hard for me to read -it was slow and, while fun, kind unimpressive. And I liked Lia and Pauline, they were cool to read and their adventures as they went undercover and worked at the inn.I also thought I was not going to like the whole main attractive of the book -the two boys sent after Lia, the prince and the assassin. I was not in for the love
This was my beach read this week. Loved it!
