A Daring Deception

by Amanda Browning

Deception leads to seduction. Rachel Shaw had been in love with Nathan Wade for two years, but, despite her protestations of innocence, she knew he was convinced that she was the kind of woman he'd always despised: a scheming, cold-hearted gold-digger. Rachel was determined to change Nathan's mind about her -- and the perfect opportunity had just arrived. Rachel's grandfather, also Nathan's business partner, had pleaded with them to undertake a most daring deception -- and that meant a weekend in each other's company and sharing a bedroom.

Reviews

[More Books Than Time]

The teasing and verbal seduction went on too long, took up most of the book, plus I got sick of H’s endless maneater comments

Rachel Shaw was in love with Nathan Wade, but he does not think good about her. She never thought that they would ever get together as he always looks at her in disdain ! Until fate intervenes and both of them are thrown together by her grandfather to help out a friend!

2.5 star
It has a goid basic formula for a love-hate relationship, but I don't know why it felt lacking something in the execution.

Liked the characters, liked the plot, the resolution was pretty quick so that was nice.
