**Note: This is not a standalone and must be read after Chasing the Dragon.**
T.k. Leigh once again douses her readers with raw emotions, intrigue, suspense and romance in her newest release Slaying the Dragon, which happens to be the second and final installment to The Deception Duet. Slaying the Dragon picks off where it last left off and readers are left reeling with the hurt, pain, betrayal, and loss that Tyler Burnham inflicted on Mackenzie emotionally.

When Mackenzie discovered the real reasoning as to why Tyler got close to her, she never accounted for the emotional mess that Tyler would inflict on her heart. Those weeks she spent with him was forever ingrained in her heart and something that memories couldn't erased. Her heart, body, and mind belonged to him emotionally and physically. She ached for him especially when he disappeared from her life for almost 4 months. Four months where she was questioning her sanity if Tyler was ever real. Was their love ever real? So when Tyler returns home, he tries to earn back Mackenzie's love and trust. And he will stop at nothing until he slays all the dragons that stands in their way.
"You're my heart. The air I breathe. My everything. I don't care what it takes to prove it was real. That it is real. Still. I will beg every day for the rest of my life to make you mine. You can tell me no every day for weeks, months, years. I don't care how long you want to hurt me, to tell me you never want to see me again. I deserve it."
Since this book is the conclusion as to what will happen to Tyler and Mackenzie, I really don't want to say much and spoil the book for the readers. But I will just say this, T.K. Leigh will shatter your heart emotionally but slowly she will piece them back together. And as always, she never fails to deliver a suspenseful story that is full of shocking and surprising twist and turns. Slaying the Dragon was an emotionally gripping sexy suspense story that will tug all the heartstrings. So if you are looking for an edgy, sexy, steamy, and dangerously addicting suspenseful story, then I highly recommend you to read The Deception Duet series. As always, T.K. reminds us all that love isn't a fairytale. It isn't perfect. But love is about overcoming obstacles, fighting to be together, facing challenges and slaying the dragon together.
