Blind Deception by Sandy Alvarez, Crystal Daniels
Series: The Kings of Retribution MC Montana #8
Genres: MC Romance

Austin Blackstone lives and breathes for his club—his family.
At the age of seventeen, tragedy brought Austin and his sister to Polson, Montana, to live with a grandfather they never met before.
His life-altering move eventually puts him on the path to finding the Kings of Retribution MC.
The club represents a strong sense of family and brotherhood. It was an easy choice to make when offered the opportunity to prospect.
Time and time again, he has proven his loyalty, and now, years later, Austin proudly wears the club's patch.
New Orleans is where he first lays eyes on Lelani. She needs their help, and he wants nothing more than to protect her—to claim her as his own.
The moment Austin allows himself to kiss her it becomes his undoing.
At the age of thirteen, Lelani Mancini's world was shattered when she lost her parents, along with her eyesight, in a tragic accident.
Lelani's brother blames her for everything.
Her parents' deaths leave a gaping hole in the Mancini family.
Feeling defeated and lost, Lelani struggles to adjust to a life of darkness. Though terrified of the unknown, she finds a strength within herself to move on.
Years later, Lelani uncovers a secret, with her at the center of the deception.
She puts her trust in the wrong hands, and it almost costs Lelani her life.
Those who should protect her turn out to be the ones she fears the most.
All that she has ever known is gone.
The darkness Lelani lives in is suffocating.
Until she finds light in an overprotective, tattooed Kings of Retribution MC member.
Loving Austin is dangerous.
Now, to protect her new life, Lelani is the one keeping a secret.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

We are back with the Polson Montana Chapter of the Kings of Retribution sand after helping the New Orleans chapter help rescue Piper and Gia they also rescued Lelani along with a few other women. Lelani agrees to go back to Polson with them and Austin is thrilled. There was something about her that just drew him to her like a moth to a flame.

Lelani is blind after an accident and she has felt as though she was a burden to those who cared for her. I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose your sight suddenly and have to depend on other people. It has left Lelani with trust issues that is for sure.

It takes a lot for her to trust that Austin and the family that comes with him (both real and forged) truly love her and want nothing but the best for her. /she still feels as though she is a burden to them.

As always there is plenty of action and hot MC guys but got me what made this one so great was the way they all rallied around Lelani. She was truly something special and I always love with the Kings show why they are the Kings!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars A bookstore owner stalks an author. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars

A bookstore owner stalks an author.

The author threatens to call the police.

Then actually does.

Somehow this turns into a romance and I loved every minute of it. 😂

Jasmine and River were chaotic, stubborn, funny, and completely perfect together. Their banter carried this entire book for me.

Also, River trusting Jasmine when everyone else was questioning her? That man knew exactly who she was.

I loved how Liza and Cassian slowly became part of each other's everyday lives before romance really took center stage. They were so comfortable together and completely made me smile.

And Alaric's formal complaint? I laughed so hard I nearly spit out my drink. 😂

I cannot wait for the next trip back to Blackthorn Bay!

Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to k Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to know more about, and his story absolutely delivered. We've seen glimpses of him throughout the series—always keeping his distance while still showing up when it mattered most. Finally learning the truth behind his past and the loss he carries was heartbreaking.

Kit was not at all who I expected for Bridger, but she ended up being exactly what he needed. Their story felt a little different from the other books in the series, focusing more on healing, guilt, and emotional growth than outside conflict. I actually loved that change of pace.

The Rogue Pack's matchmaking antics had me shaking my head and laughing at the same time, and as always, the pack dynamics were one of my favorite parts of the book.

A sweet, emotional paranormal romance filled with heart, healing, and one grumpy wolf who finally gets the happiness he deserves. 🐺
