Deception: Secret Baby Romance, Second Chance Kindle Edition

by C.A. Harms (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 494 ratings
Deception: The act of deceiving someone.

That became a pattern in my life. It was the way the chips fell. I'm destined to be that girl that fell for the wrong guy. If he was a liar and a cheat, I found him or he found me. It didn’t really matter how it happened, it just always did.

But when I met Jake, I thought he was different. He was just a guy trying to get by, much like me in a sense. He was happy with the little things in life...he made me feel safe and settled.

That was until I found out that his name, his life, and the man he pretended to be, were nothing but a fraud. He used me to get the answers he needed, and in the process, he managed to take my last ounce of hope and crush it.

I just wanted him gone. I wanted to forget the times we shared, the laughs we had. I wanted to ignore the fact that he’d so easily found a place in my heart.

Only there was one problem... I wasn’t allowed to forget.

I am reminded daily of him. Each morning, I have no choice but to look into the same, beautiful eyes he possessed. I see his smile and that same shade of dark melted chocolate hair that at one point, I loved running my fingers through.

Every single day I reminded of the fact that the father of my child is nothing more than a man that truly never existed.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She's always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes...thankfully.

She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better...that quietness changes, fast

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book with surprises from beginning to end!

    I'll have to admit, going in to this book, based on the blurb, I had a few pre-conceived notions about where this book was going. I knew, from the blurb, that it was a second chance romance, that the female character was somehow deceived by the male, betrayed by him, and that they had a child together. I had a few thoughts going on in my head. I mean, how many different things could a man do where he hides his identity from the female in question, and she still be willing to forgive him in the end?!? I was totally and completely wrong! What I was thinking was not even close to what actually happened! But by the time I realized what was going on, I was so engrossed in the story, I could not have put it down, if I'd wanted to! This book's story line was so totally different from anything I've read, I couldn't have predicted what was coming!

    Blair has really bad taste in guys. She seems to always be attracted to the bad boys, the ones who are nothing but trouble. She didn't have a great childhood, isn't close to her family, and all that she really has is her two best friends. Just when she thinks her luck in life is changing, and she has found someone that may be the one for her, it all falls apart.

    Jake isn't who he says he is. His life.....well, it isn't good. I can't say too much without giving anything away, but he knows Blair is a game changer. And he knows he wants her. But he also knows he doesn't deserve her.

    This book is just amazing. I've read and loved books by this author before, but this book is on a whole new playing field. I was constantly surprised, kept on the edge of my seat. The chemistry between Jake and Blair was combustible, but their situation seemed so impossible. My emotions were all over the place, but I kept hope for them throughout. This book is a must read, and a new favorite!

    To begin here I am at a lost for words because I was so excited to read this novel by C.A. First, the story line of betrayal, lies and revenge is what pulled me in. Blair meets Jake when she starts working for him after her boyfriend leaves her in a bind. What she doesn’t realize is that Jake isn’t who he says he is. They have a few stolen nights with one another until all his lies come out of the darkness. With her life hanging in a world of fear she leaves to go back home. Jake sets out on revenge against those who hurt him and Blair. When he gets his revenge it’s about 2 year later, he finds Blair to make her his again. Blair isn’t the same girl and Jake isn’t the same guy so, can they find each other in all the betrayal and forgive. The story did pull me in with the blurb but once you get into the story there are just some things missing. It just fell flat, and I so didn’t want that to happen. Blair is a sweet girl with a heart of gold but when she gets betrayed too many times it makes her scared to take risk. Her character background was missing a lot of things and all I could gleam from her was that she loves with her whole heart. Jake background was a beacon of darkness and you could tell why he is who the story betrays him to be. The drama was there, and the suspense was there too. I just wanted more meat to it if that makes sense. It’s a quick read which is probably why some details were left out. I just wanted to more to the story just there was something missing.

    *I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review*

    Just great. Everything I like in a second chance romance. I'm not usually a fan of the secret baby trips but this one was done perfectly. This is my third book by this author and she's quickly becoming a new fave.

    C.A Harms never, ever disappoints . I loved the way this was written. Jake, he was a favorite and I was rooting for him from the beginning. Normally, I don't usually like second chances, but this book changed my mind. A lot. It was perfectly written (as if she could ever write anything that's not perfect) and the secondary characters were a bonus. I loved it from beginning to end. Can I have your next book now please? Thank you for these amazing books.

    Blair has never had good luck when it comes to men. When her latest boyfriend leaves her high and dry, she gets a job as a bartender to help pay the rent. The last thing she needs is another man in her life, but there is something about the bar manager that pulls her in. When she throws caution to the wind, she feels something that she has never felt before. But before she can get too carried away, life reminds her it is not fair and can pull the rug out from under you when you least expect it.

    Jake has been attracted to Blair since the first time he saw her. He knew getting involved with her was a bad idea, but there was just something about her that made him believe he could be something more, something better than he was. But soon his chance of happiness is ripped away and he must decide if he is willing to make sacrifices in order to get her back by his side.

    I really liked Blair. She was a lot stronger then she realized and made for a great heroine. She knew what she deserved in life and would settle for nothing else. Jake was great too, he just had to show Blair that she was his HEA. I really enjoyed this story and how the author gave us glimpses into the lives of the other characters in the story. My only hope is that we will get to check-in with all of these characters in the future.

    This story has intrigue, suspense, action. I liked it.
    Blair was a very plain heroine. Her emotional capacity was very “teenagey”.

    Sadie, even though I didn’t like her, had a nice twist and I cheered for her happily ever after. Everyone deserves it, especially when you work hard for it.

    Jake was a better guy as the story advanced. Character development always makes me happy. The same cannot be said for Blair tho…

    WOW..... This author has excelled in my opinion with this book, It is beautifullywritten and the storyline flowed really well and was easy to follow, I definitely got emmersed into this journey with all these amazingly albeit some a little broken people, There is some heartbreakingly beautiful moments and definitely some heartwarming times in this book.

    Jake and Blair's story is definitely something that needs to be read the journey is bumby, beautiful and absolutely with a few twists. I loved all the side peoples lives aswell during this adventure they were amazing to read with also alot of laughs, smile and some heartbreak.

    I would definitely recommend this book and author to anyone who love an epic love story that is not clean or straight forward but is hard fought for. This is absolutely the exceptional quality that you expect from this author and more, just when you thought you got the best you could possibly get, nope now you have this. I hope you enjoy and love this book as much as I have. Happy Reading ♡
