Review of The Fine Art of Deception by Alyssa Richards

AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR, ALYSSA RICHARDS, brings readers Book 1 of 3 in the PARANORMAL ROMANCE MYSTERY SERIES: THE FINE ART OF DECEPTION.
With one touch, she can uncover secrets.
But his secrets might be more than she can handle.

Plagued with the burden of her “gift,” art appraiser, Adeline Montgomery craves a normal life. With one touch of an object, Addie knows the owner’s deepest and darkest secrets—which makes ordinary out of the question.

When the sexy and dangerous gallery owner, Blake Greenwood, enters her life, Addie can't resist the extraordinary pull she feels for him--a feeling she refuses to succumb to. But this mysterious man has more secrets than the priceless art he sells. Blake may even be more connected than she ever realized.

Ignoring the paranormal warnings to steer clear of Blake, Addie succumbs to her captivating fascination for him that goes beyond a sensual attraction. The connection between them feels older than time. Letting down her guard could cost her life—or save her heart. Only time will tell.

MY REVIEW

THE FINE ART OF DECEPTION IS THE FIRST BOOK I HAVE READ BY ALYSSA RICHARDS AND IT WON'T BE THE LAST.  THE FINE ART OF DECEPTION WAS A FAST PACED READ FOR ME.  IT IS FILLED WITH DRAMA, ROMANCE, MYSTERY AND EVEN PARANORMAL.  I LOVE THE COMBINATION OF ALL THESE GENRES.  IT MADE FOR SUCH AN INTERESTING AND WONDERFUL READ.  I COULD NOT HELP BUT BE DRAWN INTO THE STORY.  THE PLOT AND CHARACTERS ARE WONDERFUL AND THE PARANORMAL GENRES JUST ADDS SO MUCH MORE TO THE STORY.  I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN.

WE ARE INTRODUCED TO SOME VERY COMPLEX CHARACTERS NAMELY ADELINE AND BLAKE.  FROM THE MOMENT THEY MEANT, THERE WAS AN INSTANT CONNECTION BETWEEN THEM.  IT WAS AS IF BLAKE AND ADELINE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOREVER.  I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING A GIFT LIKE ADELINE HAS.  BEING ABLE TO TOUCH AN OBJECT AND SEE THAT PERSON'S STORY THROUGH IT.  HER GIFT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR HER BECAUSE SHE JUST WANTED TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE AND TRIED TO.  BUT DENYING HER GIFT PREVENTED HER FROM SEEING THE DANGER SHE WAS IN.  AS THE STORY PROGRESSES WE LEARN SO MUCH MORE ABOUT BLAKE AND ADELINE AND THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM IS SO STRONG AND OVERWHELMING.  THERE WAS SOME VERY HOT SCENES BETWEEN THEM THAT STEAMED UP THE PAGES.  

I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF CLIFFHANGERS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS BUT THIS BOOK LEFT ME WANTING MORE. I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.  LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS SERIES YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.  THE AUTHOR IS A WONDERFUL WRITER AND KNOWS HOW TO DRAW THE READER INTO THE STORY AND HER CHARACTERS SO VERY REAL AND COMPLEX.  THE STORYLINE WAS SO INTENSE AND THE AUTHOR KEPT YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT.  IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK WITH DRAMA, ROMANCE, MYSTERY, SUSPENSE AND EVEN PARANORMAL, THEN THIS SERIES IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU.  5 STARS
