About the Book Engaging Deception

Olive Kentworth has spent her life hiding her interest in architecture, even though she pores over architectural books and sketches buildings. When she accepts a job on a home expansion, it’s only because her cousin Amos agrees to pose as the builder. To further hide her involvement, Olive takes a position as a nanny–not knowing that she’ll be working for her idol, Joplin’s leading architect, widower Maxfield Scott.

Maxfield is intrigued by his new nanny–she makes his home and life bearable again. His work, on the other hand, is a disaster. An untrained builder is remodelling a completed project of his. What’s worse, Maxfield’s current client wants changes to his plans because of that builder’s work.

As the architectural one-upmanship heats up, Olive’s involvement becomes harder to hide. Will the relationship between her and Maxfield survive, or will they both miss out on building something for their future?

My Thoughts on Engaging Deception

I have loved all of the books in this series.  They’re so fun and the characters are engaging.  Seriously.  These characters are full of it, well it being a good thing.  They’re genuine and bigger than life.  If you love a good character this book has lots of them.  Some of the characters had their debuts and were the main focus of the previous two books.  You don’t have to have read the other two books to read this one but you also will get more from it if you’ve read the other books. 

In Engaging Deception, we follow the life of Olive.  She’s an architect but no one outside of her family knows this because her designs are viewed by the public as the designs of her cousin.  He’s rather, well, not up to the level of sophistication and education that you would expect of an architect.  

Olive’s family is out to get her.  Or rather get her out into the world more.  She’s rather reclusive and they want her to live her life now that she’s no longer taking care of her mother who was ill. Part of their plan is to eventually have her take the credit for her designs but the first step is giving her confidence.  And step one is getting her out of the house!

And so begins her journey of caring for two children who are adorable but also who are the children of an architect who is quite well known in Joplin.  

From there the fun and adventure begin!  You’re going to want to grab your copy today and read this book!  It’s so good.  I definitely didn’t want to put my copy down.
