The riveting conclusion to the Illusions Duet...

GIDEON

She took me with her when she left.
A day. A thousand days.
It doesn’t matter.
She blew out the flame inside me and now I’m in the dark.

DEIRDRE
Suffering is the cloak that shelters.
The mask that protects fragile skin.
And happiness is something for those who have suffered less.
Happiness doesn’t live here, in the house of broken dolls.
Only sin.



The Illusions Duet is dark romantic suspense. Please see the author's website for content warnings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect ending to this story
Reviewed in Australia on 28 March 2019

I knew after the ending of Art Of Love that we were going to be in for one heck of a ride with Sin of Love.

And Ms Halloron has not disappointed.

We learned a little of Deirdre's past in Art of Love - but hooley dooley, that was nothing compared to what I have learned reading Sin Of Love.

Sin of Love is darker, more emotional. I had such a visceral reaction to this story, my heart ached, my stomach hurt, and I didn't know whether to throw my kindle on the couch or turn the page at times.

It takes a while for Deirdre and Gideon to come together in this installment, however it is not surprising once you start reading.

I liked the darkness of this story - I know, it is something that a lot of people shy away from, however the story could not have gone any other way with this one.

I loved getting more into Gideon's head with this story as well.

The quality of the writing is amazing, the story telling is wonderful, and I was hooked from the first word to the last.

Thank you Ms Halloran for giving us Deirdre and Gideon's story.

What a stunning conclusion.
Laura has done it again! I was completely blown away.
The ending was just right.

Sin of love left me with a massive book hangover.
I could not for the life of me find myself to pick up another book.

Gideon definitely has shown his love and care. It is definitely a forever kind of love. His complete dedication and support to Deidre is amazing.

Both of them are both broken but together they are made whole.

Please keep writing Laura 😊😊

I loved the conclusion of Deidre and Gideon’s story in Sin of Love. As you would expect from a L.M Halloran novel, the writing was exquisite and the characters where raw and real.
Writing about the events Deidre lived through isn’t easy and it’s common for writers to trivialise trauma. However this did not happen in Art of Love. I felt with Deidre and for her. I understood her journey.

All I can say is MORE PLEASE!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An all consuming story, evoking every emotions
Reviewed in the United States on 28 March 2019

I was left emotionally reeling by the first book of this duet, but Sin Of Love took me to epic heights of every single feel and emotion. This is an all consuming story that is so powerful that it obliterates, smashes into tiny pieces yet slowly but surely the pieces are put back together again. This story was heart wrenching, devastating, raw but ultimately was a tale of healing and daring to hope for a hard-fought happily ever after.

Deidre and Gideon’s story is not a typically ‘hearts and flowers’ story nor is it for the faintest of hearts. It’s dark, gritty and at times extremely painful and disturbing. Yet, in the midst of the darkness, there is a shining ray of light and hope for a well deserved happy ending. Deidre and Gideon owned my heart completely and I found myself utterly immersed in their story. Their love is unwavering and relentless. Despite the sadistic cruelty, unimaginable suffering and silent desperation, their bond is completely unbreakable. In spite of the dark moments, you also get gratifying happiness, laughter and romance.

As with Art Of Sin, L.M. Halloran amazed me with her captivating ability of creating characters who are perfectly flawed and beautifully broken yet at the same time that are real, true and endearing. She is a true crafter of words and produces a plot that is so gripping that it evokes such vast, intense emotions along with compelling characters and a storyline that is poignantly touching. It’s so incredibly rare to see an author who can take the reader through the depths of agonising lows yet can give us breathtaking highs like Halloran is able to do. This stunning duet is truly magical.

The Illusions duet is darker than her previous work but it isn't too dark. Just enough detail mixed with L.M. Halloran's smooth writing style that it was an intense ride.

Very satisfy conclusion to the Illusions Duet. And more of Gideon's point of view. yay! He is fantstic!

So I thought Book 1 was brilliant and hoped this book would grip me as much as the first one did. But it didn't. It far surpassed it! Epic writing from LM Halloran!!!
It kept me on the edge of my seat with the tension and horror of Julep and the sheer evilness that he was.
While Deirdre sacrificed herself to keep her loved ones from harm, Gideon was using every means possible to find her, to save her, and ultimately make her his.
MUST READ from me!!!

I loved this duet!
The characters, the love and angst and banter and everything in between.
The trauma? Not so much. But I knew it was a dark romance going in. It's just that book 2 is a hell of a lot darker than book 1 and although we get our HEA, I just wish Julep had suffered more, the bastard!
On to her next book - woop woop!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Julep is probably one of the darkest, sadistic villains I’ve ever read. Kidnapped Deidre for two months...tortured her, raped her, constantly drugged her, and much more. He thrived off of pain. And if you think about it, her pain all started with him...starting with her mother’s abandonment.

Everything sort of makes sense about the tragedies that went on in her life. The biggest surprise was Maggie. Her love for her Julep was so twisted...there was no saving her, even when I wished she’d open her eyes. She only had a little bit of compassion...and at the cost of her own life.

I loved to see more of Gideon and he was so head over in heels in love. It broke my heart to see how broken he was. He became an alcoholic and just stopped giving a damn about life. But when he sees that Deidre is alive somewhere, it invigorates her, but there was a long road ahead...for the both of them.

Even while held captive, I loved how she tried to still be her own heroine. Eventually, it got to her, but she made sure if she was going to die, she’d take Julep with her like she should have done the first time.

Toward the end of the story, it was a bit contrived. Everything became too convenient for me. I get it’s supposed to have a HEA, but the ending was a bit rushed to me. I loved Deidre’s strong will to thrive. I saw that after she was rescued, she suffered from PTSD. Although, in some ways, I felt it was poorly represented, I still admire how the author tried to incorporate some realism. Honestly, anyone who have been in Deidre’s shoes would not survived at all. It was an enjoyable read. Poetic. Sensual. You feel so many emotions, from tragedy to triumph...and the characters are gorgeously layered, even Julep and his screwed up ways.

Enjoyable read!
