Perception: A Bittersweet Romantic Suspense Novel Kindle Edition

by Kendra Leigh (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 75 ratings

When love is blind, you only have your instinct to rely on. Can you trust it?

Jackson Dean is a changed man - at least he thinks he is- but when a brush with the past leads him back into territory he's long since left behind, he finds himself at war with his conscience. Snatching Savannah Harper from a Brooklyn street may have been okay with the wild and reckless guy he used to be, but what about now?

Savannah is used to a life of brutality at the hands of her husband, but being stuffed into the trunk of a car by a brown-eyed stranger injects a fresh wave of terror into her heart.

What transpires between Jackson and Savannah surprises both of them. Despite the unconventional way they're thrown together, they form a bond that begins to challenge everything they know.

His Past. Her present. Their future.

Surrendering to the feelings they've unearthed will be a minefield, but it's going up against the unknown that tests them to their limits.

As the lines between perception and reality blur, it appears that nothing is as it seems.
Perception is not reality... and reality can be soul-destroying.

So much more than a simple love story. Perception is about love, hope, survival and empowerment. A perfect blend of darkness and light!

Due to the nature of the story, it contains subject matter which deals with physical and emotional abuse, and may be triggering for some people.

She was at her happiest when Enid Blyton whisked her away up into the magical lands at the top of the Faraway Tree with Moon-face and the rest of the gang.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "Trust Your Path"
    Reviewed in Australia on 30 August 2018
    I was totally expecting Jackson and Savannah's story to have me in tears. A story full of betrayal, violence, love and hope. I tried my best to take my time with this read and by the way what a beautiful read it turned out to be. But everytime I got further and deeper into the book I denied myself the rest I needed, save the page and pick it up again in the morning. I was determined to finish their story with zero sleep.

    What an incredible read Perception was. Everything I expected to feel was felt in Jackson and Savannah's story. The emotions this book had brought out, the good, the bad, and most definitely the ugly in me. Many times I had to close my phone because my tears were constantly falling. Those tears were a mixture of sadness,, betrayal love and hope.

    Kendra has put out another "bestseller" I cannot wait for all of you 'Kendra Leigh' followers to experience all the feels this book stirred in me.

    And if you haven't touch the 'Bound Trilogy' I strongly recommend you do. That is where you will find Ethan and Angel's story.

    Kendra I just want to say "Perception" was well worth the wait. I absolutely loved the journey it took me on. I can honestly say I will be reading Jackson and Savannah's story over and over again. I love the Awesome Foursome team and their circle of friends.

    God bless you and your family and most importantly your incredible gift.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Stunning, Unforgettable, Suspenseful, Emotional Success
    Reviewed in the United States on 30 August 2018

    A little over three years ago, I was fortunate enough to discover Kendra Leigh when she published her debut novel, Bound for Hell, the first book in the uniquely unforgettable Bound Trilogy. I fell deeply in love with Ethan and Angel, and as a matter of fact, Ethan still sets the standard for me when it comes to romantic heroes. It's embarrassing how often I think of him, but not how many times I've indulged in a re-read of that excellent series - it's like comfort food for the romantic soul.

    Somewhere in the middle of the trilogy, I also fell in love with Jackson Dean, Ethan's strong, enigmatic, intensely loyal friend and protector. He was an absolute treasure as a supporting character, but even more important, he was someone I wanted to get to know, apart from his role in the trilogy. When I found out that Kendra was writing a standalone follow-up story featuring Jackson as a primary character, I was beyond excited. And when I had the opportunity to read it, I was utterly blown away, unprepared for its depth and left speechless by its power, not to mention by the unbridled passion in the narrative. It took me days to write this review and still I'm not sure I can capture it all. From its opening paragraph through its epic conclusion, Perception not only exceeded all my expectations, it left me wanting more -- again.

    There are a few words I probably use too often in book reviews. I've recently realized that "powerful" and "compelling" must be two of those words because, having used them to describe other novels, they now feel entirely inadequate to convey the impact of Perception. Perception is such an important, emotional, relevant, and meaningful story it isn't simply another "must-read" for your late-summer reading list, it's a mind-blowing, soul-searing experience in every sense of the word. It will grip your heart from the very beginning and sweep you away on a sometimes terrifying, always mystifying, poignant, passionate journey that will live in your heart long after the last page.

    Jackson is a man with a gut-wrenching secret, a dark past overshadowed by a sense of guilt and a need for atonement that made him the strong, devoted protector he has become. Little does he know, as his story begins, that destiny has put him on a path that intersects with the woman who will not only become the love of his life but the one person who will finally help him face his demons and become the man he is meant to be.

    Savannah Harper is that woman. She is also concealing a dark, painful secret, trapped in a loveless marriage to a cruel, violent, manipulative man who, fortunately, is so arrogant and narcissistic he fails to recognize her strength, her will, her determination to survive, her intelligence, and her patience. He mistakes her vulnerability for weakness, and grossly underestimates her willingness to wait until the time is right to conquer her demons and find a way to ruin him in the process.

    When Jackson and Savannah are thrown together in a serendipitous twist of fate, little do they know that the series of events to follow will irrevocably change their lives. For a blessed few days, they find themselves living fully in the moment, experiencing joy, excitement, spontaneity, and passion; gradually awakening to what life might be like together, yet aware that this one moment in time will inevitably come to an end. Nor can they begin to imagine the treacherous, heartbreaking road they will have to travel to find their way back to each other -- if it's even possible.

    If you think for a minute that you know how this romance will play out, you are gravely mistaken. There are twists and turns, triumphs and tragedies that will keep you guessing until the last word of the last chapter -- and even then you'll probably turn the page to make sure there isn't another terrifying surprise hidden somewhere in the epilogue. I'm not sure I even took a breath in the final few chapters. I laughed, sighed, shouted, and ugly-cried, but I never lost hope, because even in the darkest moments - moments of utter betrayal and despair - Kendra kept faith alive through the strength of her characters and the power of her words.

    Perception is a relentlessly suspenseful, sometimes intensely painful story, but please don't let fear or avoidance of the darker side of life and love keep you from experiencing every scene to the fullest. Because of all the emotions that flooded through me, of all the impressions imprinted on my soul, empowerment is the one that lasts. It is in our darkest hours that we find our greatest strength, and this story is all about finding the strength not only to survive but to succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

    Everyone has demons that often seem overwhelming and insurmountable. All men and women have flaws, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities, but they don't make us weak or powerless unless we hide from them, deny them, or lose faith that we have what it takes to overcome them. As this story so cleverly and intelligently points out, perception isn't necessarily reality. Unchecked, our often faulty perceptions can make us believe our current reality is our only choice - and result in a self-fulfilling prophecy. However, if we are wise enough to question how we perceive our current situation - and how our perceptions lead us to make often unfounded assumptions about ourselves and others - we can alter our reality, forge a new destiny, and become the persons we are meant to be. This is the message I took away from Jackson and Savannah's story, and it has already changed the way I look at my own life.

    If you haven't discovered Kendra Leigh, now is the time, and this is the book. If you love edge-of-your-seat suspense, passionate romance that leads to abiding love, and endings that will satisfy your every need, this book will own you. Having read this beautiful story, I am more than willing to wait as long as it takes for Kendra's next book.

    I enjoyed reading this book about overcoming domestic violence. The determination of victim to get stronger and more aware of the danger she was in. The love that Jackson showed her made her realize her worth.
