A rising star in a prominent Atlanta public relations firm, Claire Kincaid can fix anything, except herself. When she shows up at a couples workshop without a partner, a handsome stranger named Kevin Thomas rescues her from humiliation by posing as her fiancé. Although she's drawn to Kevin, she's determined to stay true to Rob Evans, the man she plans to marry.

Revelations of long-buried family secrets land her in the middle of a fight between Jams, her beloved grandmother, and her mother, Janis. After years of demanding Jams tell her the name of the father she never knew, Janis sets out to find his identity on her own. Before Claire can help, a woman from one of her firm's focus groups is murdered, and her teenage daughter appears, determined to find justice. With help from Jams, the three set out to discover who's responsible and find themselves facing down one of Claire's most obnoxious and dangerous clients.

When Kevin reappears and announces that her fiancé Rob isn't who he claims to be, Claire realizes if she puts her trust in the wrong person, she could lose everything, including her life.

Thank you Negalley for the chance to read this book. Claire is so relatable. Really enjoyed the story from start to finish.

A good story and I liked the main character, Claire. There was a lot going on and it became convoluted and confusing at times. It didn’t really hold my interest, but I feel like it could be really gripping with a good edit and some more tension and excitement. I found myself bored and was hoping there would be an epic twist to save it, but it ended just as expected.

2 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Katherine Nichols and Black Rose for an ARC in return for an honest review.

This book is full of entertaining characters, a plot you want to follow to the end, and a heroine you want to root for. My favorite character is the grandmother because as a 70 year old myself, you still have a lot to live for!

Illusion

Keeping up false perceptions and misinformation will make life harder if not worse. Keeping track of details, events and who said what becomes a multitude of work.

Like all good crime novels, this one keeps us hopping and guessing to the end. The plot, characters and settings are told in great style, but it is the narrator's voice that makes this entry into the wide mystery marketplace a standout. If you skim the story you'll miss out on the bright, funny and unpredictable Claire who invites us into her world of Southern charm and intrigue. This read will provide you with many enjoyable afternoons. Trust me.
