After searching for her sister for two long years, Kate Gallagher is devastated when she's called to the morgue to identify Chrissy's body, the runaway teen the victim of a brutal attack. Guilt and grief send Kate into a tailspin. She failed Chrissy once...she won't do it again. Even if finding her sister's killer means following a lethal bounty hunter into the heart of darkness, placing both their lives in danger.

Working at Maximum Security has taken Jason Maddox down some dangerous paths, but never for a client he's so drawn to, or for a case so monstrous. As clues lead them deeper into the city's underbelly, connections to human trafficking draw them closer and closer to peril, but even Jase's warnings can't convince Kate to walk away. As the deadly operation puts a target on their backs, they'll have to decide what matters most: the truth...or their lives.

Started reading the Kat Martin book Last Chance after winning it through goodreads! If you haven't read the blood ties series you need to! Once I finished those I started the Maximum Security series and so far they haven't disappointed.

The Deception: Maximum Security Book 2 is by Kat Martin. This book is definitely one of Kat’s best books. This book deals with prostitution and sex-trafficking. It also deals this those who try to work to try to stop this problem.
Kate Gallagher has searched for over two years for her little sister who ran away when she was sixteen. Kate had left the search up to the police for the first two years; but now took it upon herself. Then, she received the call she dreaded, her sister was dead and she was asked to come down and identify the body. It wasn’t something Kate wanted to do; but she had to. Now she was determined to find the person who beat her sister to death. She had failed to find and help Chrissy; but she wouldn’t fail now. She set out to hire help and went to Maximum Security. Here she met Jason Maddox. She realized she had met him at the Sagebrush Saloon the night she identified Chrissy’s body and had almost gone home with him. Now, she was to work with him? To find Chrissy’s murderer, she knew she had to. However, she would be fully involved in the investigation.
Jason Maddox, also known as Hawk, had gone to the Sagebrush Saloon and had seen Kate. He was completely taken with her and ended up making out with her in his SUV. Unfortunately, they were interrupted by others going to their cars and his intention of having her in his bed was thwarted. He knew he might have a second chance when she entered the Maximum Security offices. That was, until she hired him to find her sister’s murderer. Use to working alone, he was not thrilled to find she wanted to be completely involved with the investigation and was stubborn enough to keep on until she won. Although it made his job harder since he had to worry about her, he was glad it gave them more time together to get to know each other. Could he find her sister’s murderer and win over the lady at the same time?

The Deception is an Outstanding Story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 14, 2019

The Deception by Kat Martin is the second book in the Maximum Security series. The Deception is an outstanding story and Kat Martin is an amazing storyteller. The Deception is the story of Kathryn "Kate" Gallagher and Jason "Hawk" Maddox, bounty story. The story begins with Kate identifying the body of her runaway younger sister Christina "Chrissy" at the Dallas morgue. Kate is guilt ridden and goes to the Sagebrush Saloon to forget about it. She encounters Jason at the bar and on the dance floor. They get into the back seat of Jase's Yukon, but "Just Kate" puts and end to things before they get to far. Kate wants to learn what happened to Chrissy and after doing internet research, decides to hire Chase Garrett at Maximum Security. When she arrives at Maximum Security, Kate encounters Jase and he offers to help her find out what happened to Chrissy. They soon learn that Chrissy was murdered and had a red lipstick tattoo behind her ear, marking her as the property of Los Besos. Chrissy was a teenage prostitute going my Tina Gallen and was trying to clean up her life at New Hope Rehabilitation Center. Working together is both dangerous to Kate and Jase's hearts and lives. There are multiple surprise plot twists that only Kat Martin can deliver, and I loved everyone of them. The book is filled with action, danger, and of course romance. I loved every page of The Deception and how it all came full circle at the end. Cannot wait for Brandon Garrett's story in book three.

Great Story!

I truly enjoyed this story, I had a difficult time getting past the first chapter, the viewing of her sister, her grief and I just found it difficult for me. However, Kate the heroine and Jason the hero were a great team. I loved the storyline, which was truly multi-layered and with a very good side characters. The bonus novella at the end was great. Highly recommend the “Maximum Security” series by Kat, she is an excellent author.
