There is nothing like a loving parent-child bond and, in The Love Deception, nothing was going to stand in the way of Felicity saving her father’s life. The tension in the story begins to build upon the discover Hamish was in prison and that she is perpetuating some sort of deception in order to acquire a job at the law firm covering his case. This accelerates when not only is Felicity’s identity revealed, but also the fact her father will die if he does not receive treatment –which is actually part of a medical trial that is difficult to get into, adding yet another obstacle for the FMC. The sacrifices of a parent for a child is reversed in this novel to a daughter giving up everything for her dad.

When Felicity meets Martin, one of the partners at the law firm covering the case, from the very beginning you question his character. He is described in a way that makes him seem underhanded, which is continued throughout the novel. I do not know if it is meant to be a red herring, but it leads the reader to suspect Martin is purposefully messing up the case and making the workplace a misery. While this subplot is “resolved” in a way, it still feels unfinished. Both this and another loose end have the makings of a possible sequel, as there is also the reason why Felicity's love interest Damon thought she was an alcoholic: The night the two main characters met, Felicity was slipped a date-rape drug at a club where numerous others had endured the same crime. Because the subplot(s) had not been tied up neatly, this book feels a little unfinished.

I truly enjoyed this story. The twists and turns the story took made it so I didn't want to put it down until I finished it. Look forward to other books by this author!
