Straighten up, pull it around, and get back on the track.
Declan Reede's life is in a tail-spin. Although he knows what he wants, he can't see the road that will take him there. Wherever he turns, new secrets, lies, and half-truths threaten to send him crashing off-course. To deserve his family, he must fight his past mistakes and prove himself worthy.
But can someone out to deceive cost him the life he now craves?
We pick up where Decide finished off. Declan is still trying to put his life back together although he is his own worst enemy.
Michelle Irwin once again takes us on a roller coast of emotions with this bad boy trying to make good and she explores the emotions that push forward when we are deceived by those we love.
Great cliff hanger but as we know there is more of this story to tell I don't mind being left wondering what is next and when we can get our hands on it.
I will have to mention I received this book free as an ARC and I would strongly suggest that you read this book in conjunction with the Novella - Decide (The Declan Reede Story 0.5) and Decline (Book 1).

Product description
About the Author
Michelle Irwin has been many things in her life: a hobbit taking a precious item to a fiery mountain; a young child stepping through the back of a wardrobe into another land; the last human stranded not-quite-alone in space three million years in the future; a young girl willing to fight for the love of a vampire; and a time-travelling madman in a box. She achieved all of these feats and many more through her voracious reading habit. Eventually, so much reading had to have an effect and the cast of characters inside her mind took over and spilled out onto the page. Michelle lives in sunny Queensland in the land down under with her surprisingly patient husband and ever-intriguing daughter, carving out precious moments of writing and reading time around her accounts-based day job. A lover of love and overcoming the odds, she primarily writes paranormal and fantasy romance.

Kat's rating: 4 of 5 stars*** Gifted in exchange for an honest review ***So the story of bad boy Declan Reede continues in Michelle Irwin's New Adult contemporary romance, this is definitely an over 18 book with the profanity and sexual exploits, but for those readers who want a good read where the bad boy has to earn his redemption the hard way, it's a book series they will love.Alyssa is Declan's first and only love, but he was too young to realise it, when he realises what he has let go, he tries his hardest to earn it back.
But he's got a hard road ahead, because his womanising and alcohol fuelled escapades are going to come back and bite his cocky arse with a vengeance.
The book will have you happy that he's finally growing up and taking responsibility, but then have you sad that the past comes back just when he thinks it's getting on track and we are left wondering if Declan will fight for the truth to be heard or whether he will head back into the bottle to never be seen again.
We have till March 2016 for the conclusion to be out, until then, enjoy the ride as Declan tries to make Alyssa see he won't let her down again.

Okay, let me start by saying that I absolutely love this series.
Never before have I gone from hating a character to loving him then back to hating him again then on to wanting to hug him just before wanting to punch him in the face! Seriously, this guy can be the biggest d**k one minute and then he does something that makes you smile.
Deceive picks up where Decline ended and is jam-packed full of twists and turns and 'I didn't see that coming's.
Every character in this series so far has done something that has majorly irked me but this has all just added to the realness of the story... none of the characters are perfect, they are all flawed in their own way and this just makes them more relatable.
I wont go into the details of the story as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read either this book or the ones before it. I will however say that its a great book and I absolutely cannot wait for the next instalment.

I've put writing this review off, I can't seem to find the words to truly express how I felt reading 'Deceive'... After reading 'Decide' & falling in love with what I read, then upon reading 'Decline' I thought I understood just how Declan's story was going to progess, yeah I soon had my hopes blasted away. So starting 'Deceive' I was filled with antici.....pation, totally on edge, & with a hope so strong that everything would be alright, but then I remembered that heart stopping cliffhanger in 'Decline' & was kinda worried. 'Deceive' is book 2 (book 3 in the reading order) of Michelle's "The Untold Story of Declan Reede" series, it's a MUST that this series is read in order.
Declan awaken's to find himself more bruised then the day before, with only snippets from a drunken night to piece together what occured. Knowing for sure he'd ruined his chances with Alyssa, he comes clean..... I can't say much more about this, I don't want to ruin it for you....
I can say that at 40% into the book, I seriously didn't want to finish reading it, the tears were running riot, Declan's life was slightly falling apart & damn did I cry. After spending about an hour away from the book (real life called) I jumped back in, there was no way I could not find out what happened. When the ending finally happened, I just stared at my ereader, what in all honesty had happened... There was so much happening, that I was shocked at the ending of this book. Declan's life prior to finding Alyssa is definitly catching up to him. That CLIFFHANGER, I now NEED more, I can't wait for the next book in the series.

* I was given an arc for an honest review*
Deceive continues the story of Declan Reede V8 driver and all round lovable rogue trying to prove that he's an ex ladies man and with him giving it his all to prove his love for Alyssa and their daughter Phebe.
As hard as Declan tries to keep on the straight and narrow fate cant help but get in his way and make life difficult for him.
I can't help but love Declan's character even for all he has done I really do believe he wants to change and Michelle Irwin really has given him an hard time in this story.
I really can't wait to read what happens next in this fantastic series, I have a few suppositions of what is going on so I need some answers now!

Ms Irwin nudges the suspense up a gear with this one, the third in the series. Just when you thought Declan was on the home stretch, he faces some wicked curves that make you wonder who's really driving this time. I thought I saw trouble coming, but I had no idea...ah, but I'll give you no spoilers.
If you like damaged heroes fighting for redemption, with everything he wants just out of his grasp, while being beaten down at every turn...a feisty heroine who's been through hell but he's her one weakness...and a story that will hold you in suspense from start to finish...you MUST read this book, and the whole series.
Five stars.

If life could be like driving a race car, then this story is like driving bumper cars or entering a crash derby.
Reviewed in the United States on 21 December 2015Verified Purchase
Where do I start? Declan is still spinning his wheels, but this time it is in the direction of Alyissa and Pheobe. He has found where his troubles have begun and know he is working to fix the wrongs that he has caused. I have been anticipating this book ever since I finished the first one. I want to see this young couple find the happiness that they so deserve, but it seems that life just won't back off for that to happen.
Michelle Irwin continues to keep us tied up in knots waiting to see what will happen next. Through out this entire story I could feel the pain and desire to do things the right way by Declan, and yet it just seems that fate or karma one will not keep her nose out of everything to allow him to reach the finish line and win the family he now knows he wants. This poor guy has basically flipped his life upside down and is trying to stand up and for some reason he just seems to keep getting knocked back over, but the true spot is that Lys is trying to allow him to gain his heart and bearings again. She has a strength about her that we could all use and learn from.
So as you can tell, I very much loved this story. I will say that Michelle Irwin does through us another bumpy road and then takes us off a cliff yet again, but I am glutton for punishment and will hop right back in the drivers seat, strap in, and strive to reach the finish line with this family. The question still remains, will they be able to make it to the final lap still together or will they find themselves crashing before they even get a chance to truly take off?

These books are highly emotional. They are all over the place. Declan has come home. A place he never said he would be again. He has come a long way to try to get the life back he wants. Between panic attacks plaguing him and everyone trying to keep him and Alyssa apart he is on alot of high and lows. This book does have a cliffhanger ending.

The series is still a great Aussie story but the characters are growing as much as the are growing on you. You will not want to put it down once you start and you will be begging for the next book at the conclusion.
