Night Deception by Tamsen SchultzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Night Deception is the second of Tamsen Schultz's Tildas Island series, it also links to her previous Windsor Series. As with all of her other books, this series is an almost perfect blend of thriller and romance. I've said before in previous reviews, but it's rare for a book to get the balance so right. usually, a book is either a thriller with a side serving of romance or a romance with a slight thriller edge. Night Deception is neither of these things but manages to be a fully-fledged version of both genres.
This book deals with FBI agent Alexis and former SEAL and now bar owner Isiah. They have felt a strong attraction between them for some time, but Isiah has made it clear that he isn't interested, not wanting a brief fling with someone he assumes doesn't live locally. Things change when it becomes clear that Alexis is local. He also finds a mystery thrown into his lap that he needs her help to get to the bottom of.
This is where the thriller aspect of the story kicks in. An old friend and colleague of Isiah's contacts him and asks for help finding and helping a spy. Alexis and her team are drawn into help, not least because it somehow seems to connect to the work that they are all there to do on Tildas Island.
This was a great and gripping read that I devoured quickly once I started. As I mentioned the romance and action is well balanced. I think if you like either or both genres you would get a great deal from this book. I certainly did. These first two books have been a good strong start to this new series and I'm excited to see where it is going to go next.
