review 1: Deceptive Innocence: Part Three by Kyra DavisPure Sin # 3I am somewhat upset that with this installment of Deceptive Innocence. I imagined that we would have a conclusion to this saga, but no we readers are left with yet another cliffhanger. I am all for cliffhangers, in fact it keeps me on the lookout for the nest book in the series, but come on all three parts are left open. It is working on my nerves and not in a good way. I can see the first, and even the second, but the third open ending and I can honestly say I don’t know if I can continue with this series. I stared out loving it and now I am just kind of fed up. I will most likely read the next installment because I am OCD, but if it ends in a cliffhanger I will not read another one, no matter how caught up... more I am with the story.Now that my rant is over, the plot of part three focuses on Lander and Belle. Secretes are discovered and allies are made as the plot to take down the Gable family thickens.I love these characters, the plot, and the writing style. I hope the series goes to a full book and not these novella length cliff hangers. I was under the impression that this was a trilogy, but in the end we are left with no answers and a whole lot of what ifs. To me this series was market wrong since it was advertised as a trilogy and apparently it is not since the ending was a cliffhanger. It was confusing to say the least.
review 2: ith an intriguing synopsis closer to a thriller than an erotica I was hooked. IT starts with Bell trying to befriend Lander, a rich successful son of a business man. She intends to get into his bed and destroy him and his family so extract revenge for what they did to her mother.The story had me turning the pages like an addict. There was sexual tension and some more between Lander and Ball. I loved their interaction and Bell’s monologue. It was clear that she had started to fall for him but her own darkness was pulling her back. Bell as a character was dark and depressive. Her personal vendetta was what made her tick and I loved that about her. She was this abyss of darkness and bitterness which every-thing she did and every thought in her mind was her revenge. She was driven and stubborn.Lander on the other hand was a mystery which I’m yet to solve. He was your quintessential erotica male lead rich, successful, attractive and dominating. However she somehow too had this edgy darkness to him which was hinted but never fully revealed. I read this on Netgalley and the book came in three parts. I read the book in chunks and was eagerly waiting for the last part of the book. Each part ended in some manner of a cliff-hanger and it kept me on the edge of my seat.The writing was cohesive and the plot seems to be tight. I am still not sure how Kyra Davis will take her characters but nothing is as it seems. The was fast paced and filled with thrilling moments which had me biting my nails as to see what will happen in the next scene.The ending seemed a little anticlimactic to me. It sort of ended on a note as to there was more to come. I mean there better be more in the forthcoming books are there were tons of threads unresolved.Overall, Deceptive Innocence is a cleverly writing, gripping erotica which gives you hope that erotica can be intelligent too. Bell was such a hard character, especially since she had gone through so much that I felt sorry so how she was slowly getting more and more entangled in her web.I’d recommend it to erotica virgins (*wink) and anyone one who likes a sensual, thrilling and mysterious read which makes you do a double take on this genre. less

Disappointed with the final entry to this trilogy, it feels like an unfinished story.

Wait. It's over? The lack of closure was a bummer, but I loved it otherwise.
