Lady Sophie Henderson has worked tirelessly to establish a breeding stable for racehorses on her family’s Scottish estate. But when her father cuts her funding, she’s desperate to find a way to achieve her life’s ambition. Selling precious heirloom jewels enables Sophie to care for her thoroughbreds, though it’s a temporary solution—and one that does not go unnoticed.

Zander Matthews is painfully aware of the role he played in Sophie’s loss of sponsorship. Now, he’s determined to use his hard-earned wealth to help her achieve her dreams. When Zander shocks Sophie with the offer of a business investment, it seems her aspirations are finally within reach. But the new partners discover that finding success will not be simple. There is a dark side to the posh British racing community, and Sophie and Zander have captured the attention of an enemy whose greed knows no bounds. Even as their partnership develops into something more, their happy ending is just beyond reach. Because in a world where people are willing to do anything to win, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Book Review:

This was such an exciting book! Flat Deception is the second book in Paige Edward’s Roxbury Heirs series and it did not disappoint. 

Sophie was strong willed and fiery, I loved her from the beginning. She wasn’t afraid to fight for what she believed in but she also felt deeply for those she cared about. However she had to learn to overcome the obstacles that faced her as she tried to make her dreams come true. She had to learn to let Zander in. 

I adored Zander. He was so sweet and kind. He truly cared for Sophie and he had fallen hard. He was trying to figure out how to help her without stepping on her toes. I liked how he considered her his equal. However Zander had to learn how to let go of his past and not let it affect his future. 

Sophie and Zander were such fun characters togethery. They had chemistry and they were able to match each other. I liked the progression of their relationship. They had to fight for each other because being with someone is hard work. The suspense was perfect and I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was happening. I don’t know a lot about horse racing but it was still so engaging. I enjoyed the side characters and getting to see cameos from other books. 

I would totally recommend Flat Deception! The story drew me in and I didn’t want to put the book down. It was the perfect blend of suspense and romance with lovely characters. Flat Deception is a wonderful addition to the series and I am excited to see what is going to come next. Flat Deception is clean romantic suspense.
