A review by hazelbright
The Face of Deception by Iris Johansen

1.0

I thought that the author may have written romance novels prior to this because this has all of the pathetic earmarks of a romance novel. Rich eligible caring bachelor falls head over heels for a talented and beautiful, but injured, woman. Pad the book with endless back and forth: I won't work for you! Yes you will! I won't! You will! No, I won't. Yes, you will. Nuh-uh I won't. Yuh-huh you will. Except make that back and forth emotionally abusive from the woman because that means she's a tough cookie, right? And it makes her OH so much more attractive when she says things like, "Get out. Don't bother me. Goodbye." Yeah. Such a charming woman. Any man would obviously go nuts over her. And then she always caves. She just likes to bitch, I guess. And the doofus man who is showering money on her even when she misses the most elementary of clues from the very start - well - he just takes it. People like this make me want to vomit whether they're fictional or not. What a stupid book.
