-From Goodreads-

​Independent and tenacious journalist Vivian DeMarco is back in Walton, Georgia, for one reason -- to do her job and get out. When her boss suddenly dies under suspicious circumstances, Vivian's only hope for finding the truth -- and the next big story -- is small-town law enforcement's lanky poster boy, Deputy Ryan Frost. But the deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes. False leads, incriminating emails, and someone called the Watcher force Vivian to fight for answers -- and her life.

​Will this story make or break her...?

I've been looking forward to reading Deadly Deceit since I read the first book in the Harbored Secrets series awhile back. Natalie Walters had started out strong and I wondered if that would continue in this book. My expecations were definitely met.

I have to admit that I took a real dislike to Vivian when I read the first book in the series so when I saw that she was the heroine in this book I was a bit dubious. But, you know what? As the story progressed she grew on me until I rather liked her by the end. And Ryan, oh Ryan, let's just say he ain't that skinny geek from book one.

Deadly Deceit is only Natalie Walters's second published book but her writing really comes across as that of an old pro. The suspense was developed much better in this book than the first but there were less emotional/psychological overtones that I did miss from book one. That being said, I really did enjoy both books, each for a different reason, and I am definitely looking forward to the final book in the series when it releases.

All in all, a good book in a great series, and one that I would recommend to lovers of the romantic suspense genre.

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Deadly Deceit by Natalie Walters a 4 Bark rating.
