BOOK: Charming Deception

BOOK: Charming Deception by Carol Ann Kauffman

             


Dear Gentle Readers,
Sometimes a single moment can suggest a storyline.  While on 
our second honeymoon in Clearwater Beach Sand Key, I woke 
up in the middle of the night disoriented. Jet lag. Introduction to 
mint mojitos. Who knows?  But that single moment led to the 
book, Charming Deception. I wrote the first three chapters 
on my iPhone, because I promised my husband this wouldn't 
be a working vacation and left my laptop at home.

Book Description:
Samantha wakes up to a perfect life, with a handsome, attentive 
husband she doesn't remember. She has it all: a luxury vehicle, 
designer clothes, beautiful jewelry, and a condo on the beach. 
But this isn't the life she remembers. As time go by, Samantha 
discovers she is the object of an elaborate deception, one large 
enough to include, other worlds, body doubles, time travel, 
world-hopping, and a galaxy guardian as cold as ice. Is her 
charming husband in on this deception?


Reviews:


"This story is completely different from all the other books I 
have read by Carol Ann Kauffman. You get to see another side 
of her creative mind and I love it. She had me guessing all 
throught the book. She filled it with mystery, suspense, 
romance and paranormal. Her style is the same as her other 
work, maybe even better.Open door ways can be wonderful 
and yet confusing to some. But to go through a door way and 
wake up not knowing who you are or where you are can be 
unusal. Sam doesent remember parts of her life. Her husband 
is telling her that she hit her head and has memory loss. But she 
doesn't know who he is either. Jaxs is madly in love with his wife 
and would do anything for her, even switch places with Jackson 
Blake.
As the two of them resume their life together in Florida, Sam 
finds herself falling in love with her husband all over again. But 
is he really her husband? Then one day trouble happens and 
she is pulled into a cloud with hands all over her. She has no 
idea what is going on. But she ends up at a castle and remembers 
her father and everybody there, but how? Jackson ends up 
there too and wants to taker her home. The king is mean and 
loves to torture people. He goes after a tracker who found 
Samantha thinking that he killed his real daughter. So how many 
Samantha's are there? And is there more then one Jackson 
Blake?
As the story goes on, you find yourself trying to figure out why 
there are clones and who made them. Why would someone 
want more than one person that looks the same? Well the 
guardian has his reasons. Can this all be worked out? Or is 
someone going to die? Will all be disappointed in the end? 
You will have to read it to find out."

"This is a wonderfully twisted soap opera for the brain.  Sam 
has me worried and Jakson, sweet as he appears to be, creeps 
me out.  Love the imagery.  I feel like I'm right there with these 
characters.  Them OMG... out of the blue, kidnapped, encoding, 
decoding.  Uh, just who is this Samantha Blake?  This was like 
driving carefree down a one-way street and suddenly making 
an abrupt left turn - where there is no road!  AWESOME!!!"        
                                                                     - Preston K.


"Samantha wakes up naked in a strange bed. It's dark outside and 
there's a man snoring beside her she has no recollection of. Not only 
does she not remember how she got there. She can't even remember 
her name.
The author takes you on a journey involving all the elements 
necessary to keep you glued to the pages until the very end. You 
walk beside Samantha as she unravels the truth in this romantic 
and suspenseful story.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good mystery that 
you can lose yourself in." - Tammy T.
