When the Irish assassin falls for his neurodivergent girl next door, who keeps emotional support plants…
I’m the reaper my enemies never see coming.
Then I go home to an empty flat where the silence has turned deafening.
That changes when my beautiful, neurodivergent neighbor,
who’s decided I’m her boyfriend,
starts breaking into my home.
And leaving me plants.
It’s harmless. She’s harmless.
Until the night she’s in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Fallon Nova should’ve run when she saw me kill a man.
Instead, she stayed and patched me up.
Now she’s a witness.
And witnesses don’t live long in my world.
When all she wants is a date for the holidays in exchange for her silence,
I tell myself I can fake it.
But pretending ends the second she kisses me
and makes me want things I can’t have.
I want her. All of her in ways that have me in a chokehold.
She might have fallen first, but I fall harder.
And when someone from her past tries to take her away from me,
everyone will see what kind of monster loving Fallon has turned me into…
Wicked Deception is the final book in the Quinlan Empire series and can be read as a STANDALONE.
I couldn’t get enough of Rhys and Fallon. The author outdid herself with these characters in every way. She always gives us amazing characters but these two just hit me in the feels in a way that doesn’t happen often. Fallon is a neurodivergent friend of plants who falls for her assassin neighbor, and I was here for every minute of it. This isn’t your typical mafia love story and keeps you guessing, which I love. There’s plenty of action and suspense on top of my favorite, fake dating.
She sneaks plants into his house, he’s wildly protective. She falls first, but he falls harder. They’re the perfect balance of cold, calculating assassin and charming goofball and I loved everything about them. This is a sweet and suspenseful slow burn that’s worth every minute. I’d like to thank the author and The Author Agency for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
