New Release + Review: Practice to Deceive by Olivia Evans

🔥🔥 NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

PRACTICE TO DECEIVE by Olivia Evans is LIVE!

“Sometimes you find a gem. And Practice to Deceive by this new to me author is one of these rare finds.” ~Konny, Goodreads reviewer
I wasn’t always a bad guy, but betrayal has a way of finding your darkest inner demons. Great friends and family weren’t enough to save me. I wanted revenge. When the opportunity presented itself, I felt justified. That’s karma, right?
Turns out, karma has a way of circling back.
If only I hadn’t been so stupid.
If only I’d known what my deceit would cost me.
It will take a lot of work to unravel the damage I’ve done, but I’ll do it. I’ll do anything to keep from losing her.
START READING TODAY!

For the next couple of hours, we lay together on her couch watching reruns, wrapped up in each other. We didn't talk, but we didn't need to, we'd done enough of that. Even though there was still so much I was keeping from her, a part of me felt lighter, better. Because now I had one less secret, one less thing hanging over my head. I also knew, now more than ever, that if I wanted to be completely free of all the bullshit, I'd have to come clean. She deserved it. The selfish side of me hugged her tighter, like a child with his favorite blanket. What would my honesty cost me? My subconscious whispered the answer against my ear with a hiss of air...everything.







Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Practice to Deceive is the first book I've read from Olivia Evans. 
This was a new adult/college romance about betrayal and retaliation and finding love when you aren't looking. 
Brennan is betrayed by two people that he thought never would. 
The opportunity arises for retaliation and enter Skylar, Brennan's opportunity and an innocent person that gets pulled into Brennan's revenge unknowingly. 
What Brennan wasn't expecting is for Skylar to make him feel things besides revenge again. But is it enough to stop him completely?
Of course things are going to go south at some point. It's how the author writes this part of the story that really grabbed me. 
There wasn't this instant forgiveness and they live happily ever after ending. There was raw emotions that every reader that has ever been betrayed or wronged in some way will relate to. 
Even though the story is fictional, there are lots of relatable events for the reader to empathize with. 
If you like college romances and stories with a little depth to them, read this.  This story will grab you and pull at your emotions when you least expect it. 


Olivia Evans is a writing obsessed, world traveling, thrill seeking, music junkie. A true Gemini, she follows her heart blindly and lives life to the fullest. Wife. Mother. Oscar Wilde lover. ~To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
