Lisa Jackson is a terrific, prolific author. I read Deception Lodge & Expecting Trouble while on a cross-country road trip.
The story is about Marnie Montgomery whose father, Victor, is a wealthy resort owner and developer. Marnie is engaged to her father's right-hand man. Marnie decides she wants to be independent from both her father and her fiance.
This is a light read that worked out perfectly for a cross-country book.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

I could barely read the first book. No matter how Ms. Jackson tried to make what happened between Marnie and Adam at the lodge, it was very close to rape. She said no but he kept after her. The assaulting her at hotel after setting up a scene where a photographer could take and publish photographs, that w was the final straw. Mr Jackson should stick to murder mysteries. I love all of the numerous books I have read of her and Nancy Bush. This book was rubbish.

Outstanding. But BEWARE if you don’t have time to read it in a day that’s a problem. Once you start reading you can’t just put it down to finish later. Holds your interest TOTALLY and you have to keep reading to see what happens. LOVE THIS BOOK!!

A Good Read
I have liked Lisa Jackson's books for a while. These were two short stories that kept my interest. They were exciting and had me wondering who was going to be the mystery person (s). They were not only romance but some mystery the too.
