Duplicity by A.J. Renee
4.0
Duplicity is the first story that I have read by AJ Renee. It is the third book in the St. Fleur series but can be read as a standalone. There are references to their friends, whose stories must be told in Widower’s Aura, book one and Always Mine, book two. After reading this book I plan on getting the first two right away!
I loved how this author included race as a characteristic of the people throughout the story but didn’t use it as a major reason for everything that happened to them. I also loved that the characters didn’t freak out when another person, male or female, talked to their boyfriend/girlfriend. No crazy reactions to their jealous feelings, yes they were unhappy and they made it clear that they were together but no crazy reactions. I loved that some words were used meaning one thing but able to be used as something else. For example; the title itself has more than one meaning in this story. Of course I won’t be telling you what exactly those meanings are so go ahead and one click it for yourself!
Jaime Lynn Walker is a grown woman crushed by her father and men in general. Jesse Slade is a grown man crushed by the death of his fiancé. Both have given up on the idea of a happily ever after until they set eyes on each other. But what kind of story would this be if they met, fell in love and lived happily ever after? A plot twist was certainly needed to add a little drama and to cause a little…well a lot of sexual tension for Jaime Lynn and Jesse. Reading about their time together and their ability to love was worth it.
I am recommending you take a chance on AJ Renee and Duplicity and if this story is any indication about the rest of the series, I will be recommending the series as well.
