Deadly Past (Smithy International Book 3) Kindle Edition

Friends with Benefits. Simple, right?
No strings.
No complications.
And definitely no pesky feelings.

On that, Morgan Yates and Luke Dallas agree. Until they don't.

Morgan makes the monumental mistake of falling in love with Luke and walking away may be the hardest thing she ever has to do. After all, she did move here to start living life on her terms, and to make a name for herself as a new Police Detective.

While Luke is too busy worrying about his past, she needs to start moving towards to her future.

Luke can deny it all he wants, but he knows Morgan is it for him. He also knows he screwed up big time by letting her walk away, but he’s too stubborn to let go of the past and see what is right in front of him. Doing whatever it takes to get her back may just be the bravest thing he ever does.

But when Luke's past catches up with him, will Morgan be the one who pays the ultimate price?

This author has done it again. I’ve been waiting for Luke’s book since this series started and Morgan is really his perfect match. They went through something’s together but grew stronger because of it.

The things that happen in this book, Morgan’s spunk and Luke’s amazing heart really move this story forward. Getting to see my favorite characters from the other books was another huge plus.

I really want to spoil the whole book because it’s one of those books that you have so many favorite scenes but you know that readers need to experience it for them selves.

My favorite thing from this book besides seeing Luke and Morgan fining Love was getting to see some of the scenes from the other books in different POVs. It makes you relive them and trust me, all the feelings I felt the first time were the same. If you want romance with suspense then this book is for you. It kept me guessing the whole way through. 5 Stars #2OCCJD

Must read Deadly Hunt and Deadly Obsession first.

Luke and Morgan are in a friends with benefits relationship. When feelings come in to play one steps back. When they finally see what they mean to each other its amazing. Until both their past comes and rear seat its ugly head and forces them to face it fast and it becomes ugly. Will they be able to have what they want or will it fizzle out?
This book is emotional, happy sad, and has twist and turns you won't see. Can't wait to read the next one. I received an advanced copy for an honest review

4.0 out of 5 stars So many characters
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024

I liked the story. It held my attention. I wish there was a bit more steamy scenes…it was more sweet romance and less spicy romance than I was hoping for. And although I loved the idea of the big family there were just so many characters that I had a terrible time keeping track of who was who, how they were all actually related or acquainted. It made the story harder to follow.

This is the third book in the series. Morgan is a police detective, being stalked by her boyfriends ex-girlfriend. Luke is an ADA and doesn't think he deserves love. I loved getting to know them and catching up with everyone from previous books. This is a must read, get your copy today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing story
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2017
Deadly Past had an amazing storyline that I completely enjoyed reading and it was amazingly written. K.L. Humphreys has the amazing ability to write so much detail into her stories and to capture the emotions so incredibly well of her characters. It is evident that the characters were meant to be with the extraordinary way that the author is able to write the relationship between the main characters with so much chemistry.

I was intrigued by Luke form the first book in the deadly series and I desperately wanted to know more about this character. I got my wish in this book because I found out everything I wanted to know about this sexy alpha male. Luke was so protective of the people he loves and especially the woman that he falls for Morgan. He makes me smile with the way that he is with her.

Morgan brought out so much emotion in me with the pain and disappointment that she has endured in her life. But I love the strength that she continually shows throughout the story and through everything she endures throughout the story. I admire the strength and resilience that she continues to hold throughout the events in the story.

Deadly past is the third book in the Deadly series and is about the relationship between Morgan and Luke who are currently in a friend with benefits relationship. Things seem pretty simple at the start but when one develops feelings for the other will things still remain simple.

K.L Humphreys has continued to write amazing stories about characters that I love reading about. I cannot wait to read what this author will bring out next and to find out what will happen next in this series. If you haven’t read this series then you are missing out on an amazing series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment has been an emotion she is very used to ...
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017
Morgan and Luke......excuse me why my ovaries do a little dance.

This story had me hooked from the beginning. I connected strongly with Morgan. Disappointment has been an emotion she is very used to and i am sure alot of us relate to that. Your heart shatters on her behalf. She is an amazingly strong lady through the endless turmoil she endures. You cannot help but admire her strength and determination through all the crazy events that takes place in this action packed novel.

Luke is quite frankly drool worthy. I love how protective his character becones throughout and the emotion that literally seeps out of the pages and embeds itself in your heart. We all deserve our very own Luke who will walk through fire for you.

I have been dying for this book since Deadly Hunt and Deadly Obsession. Boy it met my expectations and more. There are times you want to jump into this book and throttle certain people. What i mean by throttle is a swift kick in the face or something similar haha. But thats the sign of a great book right? A book that make you feel is a book very well written. It was quite simply stunning and this still remains one of my all time favourite reads. I absolutely adore it. So if you hadnt quite got the message, this series is an absolute must read from me!

Deadly Past..... Morgan and Luke

Another Friggin Awesome addition to this Amazing series.

This Author knows how to pull us Readers in and Not let go, talk about hooked, addicted, Obsessed!

Morgan.. it’s Hard not to connect with her she has had lots of disappointment in her life, but she’s strong and faces everything head on, I really commend her strength.
And the Hot Luke, I wondered how his story was going to go ( after reading the last book) and wasn’t disappointed, he is so protective, I love that, he can come protect me anytime he wants Ha Ha

An action packed, hot read with a fabulous storyline

Anyway all in all this book ( and series) is a must read and I’m sure if you read book one first your gonna be hooked just like I am.

KL Humphreys certainly knows how to write a compulsive read!!!
This series has been excellent reading, gripping plots and great characters.
Morgan and Luke's relationship isn't all-encompassing. It's a friends with benefits tale that turns into more...when they actually stop fighting the attraction and all the dramas that surround them!
It's a must read for me!
