About this ebook

Part 1 of Deceptive Innocence—the first book in the sensual, thrilling Pure Sin trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Kyra Davis (Just One Night). A beautiful young woman is out for revenge—only to find the man she’s targeting has secrets as dangerous as her own, and a passion she cannot resist.

Ever since her mother died while serving time for a murder she didn’t commit, Bell’s been focused on one thing: revenge. She knows her mother was set up by the head of the powerful Gable family, international bankers who will crush anyone for profit, or amusement. Now she’s determined to take the Gables down—from the inside.

Seducing her way into the life—and bed—of the family’s rebellious youngest son, Lander, she figures it should be easy to uncover the secrets she needs to destroy his family. But Lander turns out to be much more complicated than Bell ever could have imagined. He’s enticing, intelligent, mysterious—and their sexual chemistry is off the charts. Lander is still the target, but once Bell gives in to her desire to touch him, he starts seeming much less like an enemy… Which is why her anger is more necessary than ever: Memories of her mother must help fuel her quest for justice to the very end.

Ratings and reviews

More like a 2.5. Thought this book was lame until the last couple pages where a twist emerged that actually made me feel the need to purchase the second book in the series. I hope it is worth it... The plot is very similar to that of Revenge, the TV show.

My only complaint is that it was too short. Now I have to wait until February. Bellona is a great character with an interesting story. I'm curious to see how she continues to react to Lander. He's in love with her. She is trying not to feel the same way.

There is just one word for this piece... Amazing! I was on the tip of my seat - the tip of my toes! You hate when a story like this ends. Cannot wait until the 17th!
