Virtual Blog Tour
Well, Melai and I just finished our first blog tour, and we were very pleased with the results! Seriously can't believe that it's already over. It feels like it just started yesterday!
I have collected all of the reviews of Deceptive from five different bloggers, and they are listed below.
Hope you enjoy!

"First off, I have to say that I do not like Liliana Dapprima as a character. There is nothing wrong with her as the main character, just find her a little bit ‘duh’ as she finds out a lot of things at the end of the book, despite hints being thrown about left, right and center throughout the book.
The story, it pretty interesting. I think the authors had purposely made Liliana naïve and lovely so the betrayal shows and hurts even more. Liliana falls in love with Lucas, but living together with Emilio, Lucas’ boss. Does anyone else find this setting fishy? I was suspicious by chapter one though.
I was hooked nonetheless, it is still a fascinating plot, with characters that seem to be breathing danger. While Liliana is in the dark, the rest of the cast are not, well… probably excluding Viv, who I am not sure about at the moment (she is pretty nice though).
Deception is pretty good for a quirky romance and betray book, while I am not surprised by the answer, I was surprised by the cliffhanger (of sorts). Definitely left me hanging, this is not the end! I will be keeping an eye out of this pair, since this is a series worth following."

"The man who broke your heart or the new man who seems to want to put it back together? As if that wasn’t enough to deal with, Liliana is hammered with family secrets and shocking developments that make her life even harder. This is a wild ride. The love triangle itself would have made for a great story, but adding everything else in really adds another layer and kept me invested in Liliana, Emilio, and Lucas along with her family and all of the secondary characters."

"The title really fits this story. There are a lot of characters and a lot of deceit and surprises along the way. It is a Romance and Liliana and her journey to understand love and overcome past heartbreak while trying to move on is a powerful one. The reader will be invested in Liliana’s story from the get-go. She is a very easy character to love. I really enjoyed the pacing and writing style of M.D. Melai & C.S. Leigh. It was smooth and never felt forced or drawn out. A great Contemporary Read that delves a little deeper."

"I enjoyed this book, though initially I did not take to Lilly AT ALL. I don’t know why but she just seemed to be so naïve and childlike - maybe not childlike, I cant pinpoint the exact word I want to describe her, suffice to say I didn’t really like her character much.
But as the story progresses I could kinda see why she was written to be so niave. It took me a while to get into the story but once I got going I loved the twists and turned and the ending.,…. oh my!"

"Old wounds opened up again when Liliana had to be with her old lover Emilio Amante. It didn’t help her either that she must live and work with him while she was already committed to her new boyfriend Lucas, who happened to be Emilio’s employee. This kind of love triangle may sound cliché, but trust me, their love story was something extraordinary.
This story already captured my attention with its prologue. Liliana was startled awake after she saw herself running away from someone who wanted to claim and lunged her. As the chapters ran, my impression of Liliana being innocent changed to deceivingly cautious and mature. From that point on, I knew I was in for a good read. And it really was! It was an hour later when I realized I wouldn’t be able to sleep unless I finish the story.
MD Melai and CS Leigh are highly commendable authors, as they both made me thrilled from beginning to end. The ending provided and opportunity for me to think and guess what happens next. So I am looking forward to reading book 2."
