The Deception
Ambitious newspaper journalist Savannah O’Neill will do anything for a story, even if it means pretending to be a prostitute in Sydney’s most exclusive brothel. She’s there on a tip-off that underage girls are being held illegally and kept compliant with illicit drugs. What’s more, unidentified bodies of young women have turned up in Sydney Harbour and at least one of them is linked to the brothel.
Detective Will Rutledge has vowed to destroy the man he holds responsible for his brother’s suicide. Vince Maranoa is the kingpin of Sydney’s illegal drug industry: He’s also the owner of the city’s most exclusive brothel. Working undercover with the New South Wales Drug Enforcement Agency, Will is determined to put Maranoa behind bars.
When Savannah and Will cross paths at the brothel, there’s an instant attraction, despite the fact she presumes he’s a cohort of the crime boss and Will assumes she’s a prostitute under Maranoa’s employ.
With both of them determined to pursue their personal agendas to infiltrate the covert life of Maranoa, they will both be left gasping when the brothel’s secrets are finally revealed...

Audiobook. I was bored with this story. Stupid decision and too much sex didn't work for me.

The Deception is about Detective Will Rutledge who was working undercover in the local brothels in Sydney to find the local drug dealers when he met Savannah O'Neill who was pretending to be prostitution in the brothels to get her first big story. Savannah started to write a story about the issues in the Black Opal that caused friction between Will and Savannah, however, in all the mess Will and Savannah somehow began to fall in love. The Deception continue to explore the issues of taken drugs and how it affects not only the user but the families as well. Entwined throughout The Deception the matters of illegal prostitution. I recommend this book.

The Deception
This was a good book, but the subject matter made it a difficult read, once again, for me. This is a great author, she draws you into her world, and captivates her readers. Based SOLELY on the subject matter, however, which is human trafficking, as well as drugs and murder, I can only recommend this book to those who are truly hard-core crime novel enthusiasts.

Another good one
Ms. Taylor does it again! I like the fact this one is a little more mystery and a little less "porny".
