"Deceiving Derek is Cindy Procter-King's prequel to Catching Claire, both part of what will be a delightful series of love affairs and encounters under the title "Love & Other Calamities." What is exceptional about all of Procter-King's writing, whether in short story style (such as this) or in her full-length novels such as Head Over Heels, is her ability to capture her characters' personalities and, more important, their morality and humanity. She always reminds us of the good and vulnerability, even in men who seem unapproachable and veiled, as well as of the insecurity in women, even those who on their face appear strong and self-reliant. She allows her own optimism and humor to drive her writing, leaving the reader with a good feeling and wanting more. For those of us who read romantic comedy and novels, want a respite from "real life" and yearn for those days when love seemed simple, Procter-King is the answer." Siriani, reader review on Amazon.
