Blurb

Felix and Lane are struggling with just how boring a “normal” life is, so when they get a chance to jump into action, they do so without a second thought—especially since they’re offered a lot of money. The request is simple: find a way to retrieve a watch from police custody. But things are never as easy as they seem. Suddenly, they’re caught in the middle of a family feud that could turn deadly. But no matter what, through kidnappings, car chases, and cooking mishaps, Felix knows that as long as Lane is by his side, they will find a way to set things right.

Deception in Darkness is 100k words of snark, stripping gone horribly wrong, and true love. Oh, and Felix steals another animal. Of course he does.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

OMG! Lane and Felix are back with their hysterical banter! I can't possibly do justice to how awesome Alice Winters' Deception In Darkness is. It's just not possible. 

The third book in her In Darkness series, I am in shock at how consistent these stories are, both in their craziness and their banter. It's a rare gift to write an action/danger story that is probably 90% humor. Actually, it's probably more like 95%. As in, 95% of the sentences will have you laughing. It is that funny. 

Do not read this in a setting where you can't laugh out loud. Cause you will. You'll laugh, you chuckle, and you'll snort. It's that humorous.

And, damn, I have no clue how the author does it, but somehow Felix and Lane just keep getting better. Their love is all-encompassing, and as strong as any couple you'll ever read. Yet, even when they're scared and desperate, they still find themselves bantering and snarky.

Land and Felix are absolutely charming, enchanting, and loving. Frankly, they just never, ever stop. Without a doubt, Alice Winters excels in her snark and banter skills. It's all said in love and pretty much the only way Lane and Felix talk. I love it. I could read about these two every damn day. They are pure comedic gold!

This book sees the couple in more crazy, illegal, and dangerous situations. I adore the way these two don't hesitate and jump into these situations feet first. They're pretty much insane, but I love them immensely. There's no way they could ever be with someone else, they are each other's perfect compliment.

Even their everyday antics will leave you in stitches. Felix cooking eggs, their sexual innuendos, the awkward situations they find themselves in and manage to just laugh. Felix's relation with Lane's mom is an absolute joy, full of love and laughs. And, omg, these two seriously play the best game of cops and robbers ever! 

Just a sampling of the non-stop snark - 

 - "'Way to embarrass him by being blind, Lane.'"

-  "Ah...stealing always makes me feel better."

-  "'For some reason I want to follow you guys. It's like a horrible train wreck.

I can't look away.' 'Welcome to my life.'"

As for the action, it's all fun, crazy, and flows wonderfully.  

Deception In Darkness is an absolute gem! Alice Winters is impressive with this series that's part thriller, part angst, and entirely comedic. Basically, read this one when you're looking for a laugh. It's delightful, charming, and colorful, and will leave you completely enamored throughout.
