In Deception At Its Best by NEA, Summer is a young woman who on the surface appears to have her life in order. But as the story progresses and the reader is introduced to her family and friends, you understand that just about nothing is what it appears to be as there is much lying, betrayal, murder and mistrust that keeps swirling out of control. So, when Summer meets Chris, a sexy self-made millionaire, she wonders if he is sincere and will she be able to sustain a healthy relationship despite her past. Now, Summer really needs someone to trust who will not deceive her. Can Chris fill this role or better yet does he want to play this role?
There was much action and drama in this book but unfortunately it was all over the place and not connected and there just for the sake of drama. The storyline started to come together at the end but just did not make the mark. Throughout the book, the action was summarized before the action took place, so in many places it felt like the story was backtracking. The storyline would have been better off with letting the action tell the story instead of stating the action and then playing out the dialogue to match the summary. Also at times, action seemed to just happen to suit what the author wanted the end result to be. I believe that a good editor would have helped this book realize its potential. I do applaud the author for starting her own publishing company and publishing her book.
This book may appeal to readers who like reading stories with a lot of drama without wanting a connected storyline.
