Book Description

October 21, 2008
Deeva McCoy is floundering in a less than satisfying job when her life seems to go from bad to worse when she's fired. While consoling herself at home, she's sucked into the daytime drama of a popular talk show where unsuspecting men are set up by a sexy decoy on live television. This gives Deeva an idea, and soon she unleashes an entrepreneurial brainstorm and is running her own business -- DeCoys, Inc. Soon, women are paying her to see if their men are potential cheaters.

After meeting Tristan Savage and spending what she believed to be an incredible weekend together, her world seems to shatter once more when Monday morning the woman sitting across from her has requested her services to investigate him. Unable to fight her mutual attraction, Deeva finds herself breaking one of her primary rules of business as she continues her relationship with Tristan. But when Tristan finds out about her line of work and the possible reason behind their meeting the passionate relationship they've developed is at risk.

With all the style, colorful characters, and unforgettable moments that readers love, DeCoys, Inc. exposes the danger of mixing pleasure with business.

3.0 out of 5 stars Right in the Middle, August 9, 2011
This review is from: Decoys, Inc. (Paperback)
Decoys was aiight. It was entertaining and the characters kept you going and enjoying the flow of it. The story line was interesting as well. However, it was just too cliché and almost corny and a little underdeveloped. That is why I gave it three and a half stars.

Nevertheless, Deeva and her friends are relatable in every sense and their relationships are what all friendships have experience at one point in time. One friend in particular is just down right trifling though and is the essence of what Bob Marley was preaching in Who the Cap Fits. Ms. Lony is my favorite, especially when he and Cara are together.

I enjoyed this story, even though it didnt blow me away like I thought it would.I agree that there could have been more character/story development, but overall It kept my attention.She could have added more twists and turns to the ending as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Set-Up, April 15, 2009

This review is from: Decoys, Inc. (Paperback)
After being fired from her job, Deeva McCoy knew she had to find another job soon to pay her bills. While home watching an episode on a talk show of unsuspecting men who are set up by decoys, she gets an idea to open her own business, Decoys, Inc. She thought she would be successful doing this because she was good at spotting cheating men. Her business flourishes as women are hiring her expertise to see if their men are cheaters.

Deeva meets Tristan Savage and after spending a wonderful weekend together a relationship quickly develops. Deeva`s heart is in jeopardy when a new client enters her office and hires her to setup Tristan. Against her better judgment Deeva continues her relationship with Tristan, but when Tristan finds out about her work and that he may have been set up, their relationship may not survive.

While reading the book there were some slow moments and it had the potential for more story development. For example, I would have like to read more of the blossoming of Deeva and Tristan's romance instead of them quickly falling in love. However, DECOYS, INC. delivers to its readers lots of drama, and I did enjoy reading it.
