Book Description

November 1, 2008
Summer had a life that many women strived to attain. Then she finds her picture-perfect world starting to turn upside down with lies, murder and betrayal. Everyone she thinks she can trust is involved. The only person she has to turn to is Chris Johnson, a young sexy self-made millionaire. Together they try to untangle the lies wrapped around the death of Summer's mother. But when the truth comes out will his love be enough to convince her that they are meant to be together or will the rollercoaster of events after meeting Chris speak for themselves? With fate tying them together and the world trying to tear them apart will Fate win or will the World?

Editorial Reviews

Review

After her broken engagement, Summer, a very wealthy young woman with a promising future, is done with love. She meets Chris while out for a night on the town and their friendship quickly evolves to be much more. Chris brings baggage to the relationship in the form of his best friend's girl, who is obsessed with him. Summer has problems of her own: a dysfunctional family and the kidnapping of her mother. These issues reveal more mysteries, but not whose is responsible for her mother's death. Will Chris, with all his problems, be the support system Summer needs at such a crucial point in her life? DECEPTION AT ITS BEST is filled with murder, mayhem and relationship drama. The debut novel of author Nea is a solid and entertaining read. With the exception of one four-letter word she misspelled throughout the whole novel, there were only a few minor flaws. The author's style of storytelling kept me engaged in the novel until the end. I would recommend this book to others and will read more from this author.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Much Is At Its Best, October 25, 2009
This review is from: Deception at its Best (Paperback)
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.
