Title: Dangerously Deceptive

Series: A Beautifully Brutal Book #1.5
Author: Emma Luna
Genre: Dark Mafia Romance
Re-Release Date: April 7, 2022
Cover Design: Pretty In Ink Creations
What would you be willing to sacrifice for the one you love?


I was born a princess of the Celtic Reapers MC, but I’m definitely not royalty. I’m abused, tortured, and broken, desperate to escape.

I have two choices. I can stay with my childhood sweetheart, Jamieson aka Whiskey, who abandoned our plans for freedom when he patched into the MC. Or, I could win my freedom and live my dream life with loveable, sexy, tech geek Kellan.

But when I fall pregnant, my whole life changes and I’m forced to make painful decisions.

This is not your typical love story. It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s heartbreaking. This is the story of how you make an impossible choice. I’m Shayla Callahan, and this is my story.

MY REVIEW: Another fantastic story in this thrilling series. This one features Kellan the IT wiz and best friend to assassin Liam from the first story. A MC beauty draws Kellan into a plan to rob an evil mogul and buy her freedom from the wickedness of her MC life. Shayla is the daughter of Celtic Reapers’ Prez but that means she is treated atrociously. She strong and takes what is dished out by these horrible club brothers. They treat women worse than animals. It’s chilling and deplorable and heinous. Ugh, it was almost too much for me. Beware it’s nasty and brutal. Kellan is a terrific hero as he signs on to help Shayla and soon he’s doing his best to heal her brokenness. There are twists and turns and a few major surprises, one that is a blessing and one that leaves Kellan destroyed. Poor Shay is destroyed too but for another reason. I loved the MC part of the story with the younger generation planning to make changes for the better especially where their women are concerned. The ending was a shocker but I’m rooting for Shayla and Whiskey and the new gen brothers. Here’s hoping they are successful. My heart broke for Kellan and I can’t wait for the next installment in the series to find out what’s next for him and his daughter. Even with the brutal parts of the story it’s an exciting read with fabulous characters and an intriguing storyline. Worth the read!

I love books! I have been reading for as long as I can remember. I was the kid with the flashlight under the covers reading until the wee hours. Books were my refuge. I was delighted to discover tree climbing. I would take a book and climb to the top of a Mimosa tree and read for hours...and of course ignore my mother calling for me to do chores. I was committed to reading all of the Nancy Drew stories. Ned was my first book boyfriend. When I was in my early teens I discovered Harlequin romances. I feel in love and it changed my life. I was in love with Love πŸ’• That’s something for a girl who hadn’t been kissed yet. When I read β€œhe thrust his throbbing member into her womanhood” I was lost to discovering more about this particular brand of romance. But I don’t just enjoy romance reads. My father-in-law introduced me to the high fantasy genre and I loved it. When I bought my first Nook the world of books really took me by surprise. I was enthralled with all the available genres and to my delight I discovered erotica. In most cases, I was with family on visits to bookstores and you don’t peruse those even if they carried them. Oh the shame of it! ;) Thanks to Nancy Drew I still enjoy mysteries along with romance, fantasy, erotica, paranormal, steampunk, thrillers, and well, most anything except a horror of a horror. My favorite might be romance suspense but it’s hard for me to pick just one. I had a serious health issue a few years ago and was forced to quite working after building a career I could be proud of. It was devastating and depressing. I lost myself in books and now spend my days (and nights) reading. I am so appreciative of authors and the wonderful storytelling I’ve found in books. It takes me away from my troubles and introduces me into a world like no other. I love books!
