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 in a strange bed with 
a loud snorer beside me. Jet lag. Eating out of the vending 
machine in the airport. 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, so left my laptop at home.

The cover is a photo I took of the stairs from our hotel down 
to the beach at the the beautiful Sand Key Resort a little past 
sunset.

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.
