Step right up and meet Jay Fields: Illusionist. Mentalist. Trickster.
I think in triangles. You think in straight lines.
I show you a table and make you believe it’s a chair.
Smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand, misdirection. I trick and deceive.
But most of all, I put on a good show.
The world thinks I killed a man, but I didn’t. Bear with me. It’s all a part of the plan.
Revenge is what I want. I want it for me and I want it for her.
I want it for all six of us.
She doesn’t remember me, but she’s the reason for everything. She’ll be my prize at the end of all this – if I can hold onto my willpower, that is. Maybe I’ll slip up a little, have a taste, just a small one.
So go ahead and pick a card. Come inside and see the show. Look at my hands, look so closely that you can’t see what’s happening while you’re so focused on looking. I’ll be destroying your world from right here in the spotlight.
You’ll never see me coming until it’s too late.
I’ve only got one heart, and after I’ve pulled off my grand deception I’ll hand it right to her.
So, sit back, relax, and let my girl tell you our story. You’re in for one hell of a ride.
4.5 Star Review by Jen Skewes
Oh My God, this book!!
This is the first book that I have read by this author and it came as a
recommendation from a friend who raved about it. After reading it, I can understand why. This book is a little different that what I
have read in the past. It was
fascinating and completely captivating.
It has mystery, suspense and romance and was just a fantastic read.
Jay Fields is an illusionist and a very sexy one at
that. People think that he killed a man
and he is going to set the record straight.
He plans on suing the newspaper columnist who has written an article
claiming he killed a man. He is out to
prove his innocence and get revenge. But
not everything is what it seems. And
that is where the mystery of this story comes into play.
Matilda lost her mother at a young age and it has just been
her and her father. Until Jay Fields
walks into her life and her fathers law office.
He wants her father to represent him in his case against the
newspaper. Her father doesn’t want to
take the case and while Jay has every intention of changing his mind he gives
it time. In the meantime he needs a
place to stay and Matilda and her dad just happen to have a room for rent.
Matilda basically only has her dad and her best friend
Michelle. She really hasn’t had many men
in her life. She has trouble finding men
and just communicating with them. She
also lacks the confidence she needs to meet a man. But Jay Fields is different. She felt a connection with him from the
beginning. She also felt how much her
body responded to his presence. She
likes him and soon her little crush on the illusionist turns into so much
more. But as much as Jay wants her he tends to push her away causing her to think maybe she misinterpreted
his feelings for her. She doesn’t quite
seem to understand his motives and actions at times but she cannot seem to stay
away. She misses him when he is not
there and enjoys being around him. There
is more to Jay Fields than she knows and she knows that it is only a matter of
time before she finds out his secrets.
Jay Fields….sigh.
There is just something about this man that I loved. He is an alpha male with a heart of
gold. He wanted to protect Matilda with
everything he had, even if at times that meant staying way. You felt how much he loved and cared for her
even if he didn’t say it. He is so sweet
and caring and at the same time extremely sexy. I loved the banter between them
and his sexual inuendos. Matilda was a
loveable character who I honestly related to and felt for. She really liked Jay but was sometimes
confused by him. She knew he had secrets
and tried so hard to be patient. Things between her and Jay were so easy and comfortable. Talking to him and flirting with him just
came easy. And let’s not forget about
the sexual tension and chemistry between the two of them. HOLY Hotness!!
I wanted these two to get together so badly but understood his
reasons. There is a mystery that is Jay
Fields. And throughout the book you try
to figure out exactly what the mystery is.
And while I thought I had a part of it figured out, in truth I was only
a fraction right. What I loved about
this book was the guessing. What was real
and what wasn’t? How did he do
that? I found myself wondering the same
things that Matilda did when it came to him.
In addition to the mystery and suspense was such a wonderful love
story. One that I loved. Jay and Matilda were so perfect and amazing
together. They had this connection that
you just felt. between them. Have I mentioned how much
I loved Jay? I want my own Jay Fields. He has a way of melting your heart with his words one minute and then making you all hot the next.
This
was an amazing book that I am still thinking about a day later. This may be my first book by LH Cosway but
certainly not may last. I need to go
check out her other work now! Read this book, I promise you, you will not be
disappointed.
