***ARC received for an honest review***
"She thought she could save those she loved. He thought he could save her. They'll both learn the truth."
Wow!! Aleatha Romig delivered a conclusion that was truly worthy of the characters and the intricate plot lines that this series has delivered over the past four books. All questions were answered, all plot lines complete, some new ones cometh as others concluded making this one hell of a ride. Characters that I have loved throughout only embedded themselves into my heart even more and other despicable characters only got worse as the story goes on, but this is where karma works wonders as does the cunning pen of one Aleatha Romig.
"Sometimes the saying is true: the end justifies the means."
This is a book that you need to take your time reading, we are treated to a lot of information in this book and I had my highlighter frantically poised as I sucked up clue after clue after clue. After the cliff hanger from book 4, Entrapment, Aleatha throws you straight back into the mire and you are instantly hit with the insanity and the delusional characters that currently reside at Montague Manor.
"This is a game of chess, or if you like, make it a game of Battleship."
God complex doesn't even come close when describing one Alton Fitzgerald and it seems his awful traits are well and truly present in his illegitimate son, Bryce Spencer. Alton though, may come to regret the time he has spent grooming Bryce, because it seems that the rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree. As far as Suzanna's concerned she will stop at nothing to get what she wants, all three of them fuelled by greed and status, but when all three are fuelled by the same thing…there can only be one winner…or a lot of losers.
"Every dictatorship comes to an end."
Nox and Charli though, these two will do anything for one and other and not once have I ever questioned the love that these two share. As this story progresses, this love and connection only intensifies and as a couple they just get stronger and stronger. These two though are a force to be reckoned with, individually strong, as a couple…formidable, unstoppable and unequivocally each other's keystone. The tenacity with which Nox loves Charli is ever present and oozes off the pages and the reciprocation from Charli bleeds from page to page. Batman and his princess, a story that fairy tales were made from.
"In the short time we've been together, you've given me back a reason to live, to wake, and to move."
I loved the insight once again that we get into Oren, Nox's father. In the very beginning he came across as a villain, as a man you should hate, but the more you learn about him, the more you understand him, the more you love him. A lot of my highlights from this book have actually come from Oren, he once again showed a totally different side to his character in this book that only gained him even more brownie points with me. I adored him by the end.
"…you're like your son or maybe he is like you. His fidelity is rarely given, but when it is, it's fierce."
Aleatha Romig has delivered a compelling series with Infidelity, never once did a book seem like a filler, nor no plot line feel superfluous to drag it out. This has been one intense, hell of a ride from the very beginning and the time and effort that must have gone into bringing this series to fruition is to be applauded. As I have said in the past, this series is like Dallas/Dynasty on speed, where the rich only want to get richer no matter the consequences. No scruples among them and where life is a constant battle of sinister manipulations, lies, and outdated, misogynistic obligations.
"There once was a beautiful princess…with flowing hair of red and eyes of gold. She lived in a castle with shadows all around. They darkened the corridors and rooms. They'd fly all around while soldiers stood guard, but the princess wasn't scared. She was the bravest princess of them all."
"Did Prince Charming save the princess?"
"No…Batman did. And she saved him too."
Pandemonium prevailed as my heart beat faster. The world around me was falling apart, and I was again powerless. I'd said I didn't want to leave the mansion. I'd protested, but here I was, being ushered, forcibly, toward the front of the house. Though I couldn't see the guests, their voices were audible over the click of Suzanna's and my heels as we stepped upon the marble floor.
"Dear, you'll need to fix your make up."
I joined the others in ignoring Suzanna as panic bubbled in the depths of my stomach, creating a sour concoction. I needed to get away—not go with them. I'd done all I could to stall, slowing my steps, claiming I needed to go up to my room, anything. Each moment I searched for aid, for Patrick, for Jane, or for anyone who could offer me a lifeline. Even Judge Townsend had disappeared. Now as we made our way to the front door, the corridors and foyer were exactly how Alton had ordered them to be—empty.
With each step, memories flashed in front of my eyes of my recent return to Montague Manor. Nine days ago as I walked these same hallways, the walls had been lined with Alton's soldiers—his show of power. Their absence was the same display. Alton Fitzgerald could make people appear and disappear. Maybe I'd been wrong about my stepfather's ability to entertain. He wasn't a singer or dancer. He was a magician.
There wasn't even a staff member present to open the front door as we approached. They'd all slipped into the secret dimension that only they could access. For a moment I wondered if they could see us and then I realized they couldn't. Nor could they hear. They were paid too well for that.
Suzanna reached for the large handle and pulled the massive door inward. As we stepped onto the porch, the cool night air blew wisps of my hair about my face. My skin prickled with goose bumps as a chill raced through me.
"I need a coat," I tried.
"Nonsense. The car is warm," Alton said as a limousine pulled up the drive.
A sense of déjà vu filled me with the same doom I'd felt at Magnolia Woods.
I tugged my arm free from Alton's grasp as the autumn leaves danced, creating a trail in the car's wake. I wanted to push Alton for answers, but weighed my words. Over the last few minutes, his panicked sense of urgency had turned to a quiet resolve. The new demeanor gave me no sense of security.
As much as I despised the thought, I missed Bryce.
It was the knowledge that I was again alone at Alton's mercy. Despite Bryce's bipolar psychotic episodes, he had protected me from my stepfather more than once.
I tried not to think about how I wasn't protected when he and I were alone, or how he'd treated Chelsea—his whore. Even his title for her made me ill. As we waited I longed for a phone with the blue dot app. It hadn't been necessary when I'd been the one to wear the necklace, but now, I wanted to know that Chelsea was with Nox. If she and my mother were safe, I could break free.
My fingers trailed the diamond choker around my neck. The loss of the tracker necklace was suffocating. I reassured myself that it had been the right move. If for any reason Chelsea had been detained along the way, the beacon on the necklace would have led Nox to her.
Shivering, I wrapped my arm around my midsection and turned toward my stepfather as the car approached. "Please, tell me about my mother."
"Really, Alexandria?" His warm breath reeked of whiskey as he looked up from his phone. No doubt his time spent with the VIPs in his office had been filled with the best alcohol in the mansion. "Your husband needs you and you're asking about your mother. She's probably sleeping peacefully, still detoxing."
"Probably? You don't know? And Bryce and I aren't married. Do you know about my mother for sure?"
Suzanna didn't speak as she turned her attention to Alton.
He shook his head. "Your mother is being taken care of. But, daughter, you're mistaken about your marital status. You were married yesterday. Tonight's party had been to announce your surprise nuptials. I just received confirmation. Ralph Porter will have the paperwork drawn up and Judge Townsend will make it all legal." His thin lips formed a strained smile. "Congratulations, Mrs. Spencer. Today is your one-day anniversary."

One week. No more.

DECEPTION, book THREE of FIVE in Aleatha Romig's INFIDELITY series.
"Infidelity - it isn't what you think"
It all began in Del Mar, a chance meeting with a single rule--one week only.
Or did it?
Lennox 'Nox' Demetri and Alexandria 'Charli' Collins had every intention of following it but rules are made to be broken. In CUNNING they are reunited with Nox setting down new rules for the game and Charli having no choice but to follow them.
Now, once again, the game has changed. Nox and Charli's hot sensual encounter has grown into something more but it is threatened with secrets and regrets. Is it their love and intense sexual chemistry that's pushing them together or something darker, a puppetmaster behind the scenes pulling the strings on their love affair?
Shadowy villains lurk around each corner and everyone is suspect as Nox's and Charli's pasts collide with the present and threaten to compel them back to their predestined fates.
Can deals brokered in the past be negated by something as pure as love and as steamy as the attraction shared by Nox and Charli? Or was it all a deception—starting with that very first meeting?
