He didn't just break her heart, he broke her soul…
 
When a bomb exploded at her college, Caitlyn Carlson's life changed in an instant. Ten years later, she's no longer a vulnerable, trusting girl, but a tough, ruthless, FBI agent. But her hard exterior covers a deep, aching hole in her heart. 
 
Quinn Kelly has changed his life, too, trying to make up for the horrific mistakes of his youth. But some mistakes can't be outrun or forgiven. Some feelings don't stay buried, no matter how hard you try. 
 
An explosion at a local university takes them back to the past, to the one place they never wanted to go again…and to each other. They barely survived loving each other the first time around. The secrets and lies almost killed them. Will this be their second chance, or will this be the end of everything?

    As always, Barbara Freethy never fails to deliver a story full of twists and turns as the story unfolds. Love this latest addition to the Off the Grid series. Caitlyn and Quinn were collage sweethearts when an explosion rips their lives apart. Ten years later Caitlyn is a tough FBI agent still determined to find those responsible for the bomb that changed her life. Now another bomb explodes on the same campus and she asks to be assigned to investigate the new case, determined to find out if there is a connection. While at the scene she sees Quinn who is also drawn to the campus. Many twists as Caitlyn pulls in Quinn to help with her investigation. The passing of time did nothing to change their feelings, and they are both fighting their feelings. Loved it.

    Daring Deception is another action packed story from Barbara Freethy. It’s filled with intrigue, suspense and an old romance sparked back to life. The plot was complex and riveting making it a page turner from the beginning. Caitlyn and Quinn had chemistry and a bond from love that made me cheer for them to work through their issues and get back together. This is a great book if you’re looking for an adventure with action, intrigue and romance. I definitely recommend this book, and look forward to the next book in Barbara Freethy’s FBI series!

    I could not put this book down. FBI agent Caitlyn Carlson was investigating a bombing that brought back memories and old feelings for her. As Caitlyn reconnects with her past I was kept on the edge of my seat as the author slowly revealed the events of 10 years ago and the consequences that followed. This book is full of mystery regarding friends, classmates, family and a former love. You will not be disappointed reading this 5 star Barbara Freethy Off the Grid installment.
