Addie Montgomery only wants to have a normal life, but as a
gifted empath who senses history when she touches an object
and ghosts haunting her at every turn, normal is difficult to
come by. Throw in an ex-fiancé who ran off with her so called
best friend, who is now discrediting her in the employment
sphere, and things for Addie seem to be getting worse.
The only bright spot in her life is the Montgomery women,
her dreams of Jack from lifetimes ago, and the hope that
somehow love will find her in this lifetime. But when Addie
gets the opportunity to work with art in the Albrecht firm,
she is excited beyond measure, even though her father and
grandfather had both worked here when they vanished years ago. But
something sinister is afoot and unknowingly Addie has become the centre of
the mystery.
Blake Greenwood has come too far in his plans to take Otto
Albrecht down, to retreat now. Knowing how cruel and
destructive Otto can be, Blake is determined to unmask him and
put him in prison for good. But as soon as Blake sets eyes on
Addie, everything changes for him. She is his soulmate in
every lifetime and he is amazed that he has found her. With
psychic powers of his own, Blake recognises Addie's gift and
immediately understands the trouble she is in. With secrets,
lies, passion and danger, will Blake and Addie lose each other
before their story can even begin?
THE FINE ART OF DECEPTION by Alyssa Richards is a paranormal
romance with many twists and turns. I enjoyed the characters
of Addie and Blake, and the plot of the tale is unique.
Unfortunately, the pace of the novel did not flow naturally for
me, and there were parts that seemed disjointed and rushed.
THE FINE ART OF DECEPTION by Alyssa Richards is a part of the
Undoing Time series.
Art appraiser Adeline Montgomery just wants a normal life.
One where she can ignore the vicious ghosts who follow her.
One where she’s free from her “gift” of touching an object
and seeing the owner’s deepest secrets. And one where she
can fall in love without having all of the above get in the
way.
But when tall, dark, and dangerous gallery owner Blake
Greenwood enters her life, normal is the last thing she’s
feeling. The man has more secrets than the priceless art he
sells, giving Adeline’s quest for normal no chance. That,
and he may just hold the key to uncovering the truth behind
her father’s unexplained disappearance.
Despite her paranormal gifts warning her to stay away, she
feels an inexplicable, captivating fascination for him,
something that goes deeper than attraction. There’s
something between them that’s older than time, and if she
can learn to give him her trust, it may just save her life.
