Bless me, Father, for I have sinned, and I’m about to do it again …” and with those words, the prologue to this story firmly grabbed my attention. “Deceptive Vows” by Faith Summers is an intense, wild story full of loyalty and betrayal, hot passion and cold hearts, hope and heartbreak … all swirling together amidst the tumultuous underworld of organized crime.Concealments: omitting information that is important or relevant to the given context, or engaging in behavior that helps hide relevant information.

She is conflicted between acting like how Adriana should and how she wants to fall for him, because deep down they are similar people The way I genuinely couldn't keep going any longer- I truly tried to stay strong💀🙏- this was painful to listen to. Deception and its detection is a complex, fluid, and cognitive process that is based on the context of the message exchange. The interpersonal deception theory posits that interpersonal deception is a dynamic, iterative process of mutual influence between a sender, who manipulates information to depart from the truth, and a receiver, who attempts to establish the validity of the message. [27] A deceiver's actions are interrelated to the message receiver's actions. It is during this exchange that the deceiver will reveal verbal and nonverbal information about deceit. [28] Some research has found that there are some cues that may be correlated with deceptive communication, but scholars frequently disagree about the effectiveness of many of these cues to serve as reliable indicators. [29] Noted deception scholar Aldert Vrij even states that there is no nonverbal behavior that is uniquely associated with deception. [30] As previously stated, a specific behavioral indicator of deception does not exist. There are, however, some nonverbal behaviors that have been found to be correlated with deception. Vrij found that examining a "cluster" of these cues was a significantly more reliable indicator of deception than examining a single cue. [30]

Without an inkling of each other's personality or appearance, the two were made to meet just before being bound in matrimony. It was not the case that they had mutually sought each other out, and although it was a relationship heavy with obligation and responsibility, he wrapped her in his arms and greeted her as a husband greets a wife, and her heart went on to open up further every time she encountered that kindness thereafter. Simulation consists of exhibiting false information. There are three simulation techniques: mimicry (copying another model or example, such as non-poisonous snakes which have the colours and markings of poisonous snakes), fabrication (making up a new model), and distraction (offering an alternative model) Many people believe that they are good at deception, though this confidence is often misplaced. [31]Of the Yezagh people, Vinera lived in a village around Fennes. When she was orphaned, she was placed in the mines to work as a slave. Muraga personally chose her to participate in the Serpent's Den to decimate Hourne from within. She was trained in the art of assassination, sworn off to wed the prince in a political arrangement. Although she had finesse with poisons and hidden blades, Muraga thought it best to get her a teacher on the mannerisms and formalities associated with royalty. Vinera became a true princess from her efforts and was escorted straight to Hourne. Mariuma, Yarden.

I will add that Deceptive Vows seems more at home with the Dark Syndicate series than the Blood and Thorns series, as B&T is currently labelled a duet.

Taqiya is an Islamic juridical term for the cases in which a Muslim is allowed to lie under the circumstance when need to deny their faith due to force or when faced with persecution. [41] The concept mainly followed by Shi'ite sect, but it varies "significantly among Islamic sects, scholars, countries, and political regimes", and has been evoked by critics of Islam to portray the faith allowing dishonesty.

The way it's framed and the characters, everything was perfect. There was steam, suspense and so much hotness! The one reason why Faith's books drive me crazy are her heroes and Mikhail was one of them! He was dominating and so scary but damn when the man fell in love, he was a sight to see.
