In Veils of Deceit, the reader gets Free Fall by Jasmine Cresswell and Keeping Secrets by B.J. Daniels.

FREE FALL...I give this book five stars. As one of my favorite authors of romantic suspense, Cresswell didn't dissapoint in this read of desire, danger, and espionage. Liz Mercham has lost her last three roommates to suicide. With the first two it all seemed like a bizarre coincidence, but when her third roommate jumps to her death, Liz gets suspicious. Especially since Karen was a secretary to her ex-husband, Senator Dexter Rand. It had been nine years since their turbulent nine months of marriage, but Dex could still make her blood boil. Now it seems that people all around them are dying, and all the fingers point to them. You will be on the edge of your seat with this book and you won't be dissapointed by the ending.

KEEPING SECRETS...I would only give this book three stars. This is my first B.J. Daniels book, and I was a bit dissapointed. Paige Grayson just found out that her father just died four days before, one day after her mother. The thing that shocked her was that her mother told her that her father died twenty three years ago when Paige was three. Suddenly Paige is smack in the middle of a blackmail scheme that she is trying to uncover with the dangerous Devon St. Cloud. The story line was pretty good, but the characters were a little shallow. Not happy with herself, Paige has an alter ego 'P.T. Alexander' that she converses with. We don't get a lot from Devon's point of view, but what little we do have doesn't show us he's dangerous. It doesn't show us much of anything. Also the desire between the two was luke warm at best.

I would get this book because I would definetly recommend Free Fall!

Free Fall is the best of the series. Jasmine Cresswell does an fantastic job as always of creating a terrific whodunit with so many twists and turns you won't guess to the very end. B.J. Daniels was okay but like her other novels better.

Review From Romantic Times
4 1/2 stars (Fantastic)

"...With all the fun of a "Romancing the Stone," Daniel's book will delight. Blending danger and excitement, a resourceful heroine and brooding hero with classic movie-type storytelling, this novel is just plain fun." Debbie Richardson, RT B0OKclub
