- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an entertaining story with very funny scenes. The heroine and the romantic lead are well developed and there are side stories to keep the story interesting.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5On audio, narrated by Anne Flosnik who did a creditable job, except her voice for the one-eyed pirate-like hero sounded too gravelly. It was as if she was trying to give it this smoldering, passion infused inflection. But to my ears, it just made him sound older than he was really supposed to be. He did not sound romantic, but maybe it's just me.Olympia, the heroine is another of Quick's learned, bluestocking types who is clueless when it comes to the required social niceties in Regency England because she's so wrapped up in her studies. No shy wilting lily, once she makes up her mind she wants to bed Jared, she has no fears or compunctions about it. She could care less what it might do to her reputation if anyone finds out. Other than this unrealistic lack of discretion, I liked her and her three young nephews. I found the storyline amusing at times, albeit convoluted with the lost map, treasure and Jared's irascible father and uncle. It was an easy listen, though it lacked any real depth. Still, I enjoyed it overall.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Good luck dear reader,
The storytelling in this book is not well written. The dialogue is amateurish.
I tried listening to the audiobook version, and found it very cringy. The narrator made this bad story even worse.
If saying one is a person of the world were a drinking game then reading this book would get you drunk in no time. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very enjoyable summer read. I have read almost every novel Amanda Quick has ever written. In my opinion, Deception by Amanda is definitely a winner. The story is romantic, and tender, while at the same time exciting. Also, the story is complex, and satisfyingly. I love it when she writes about a strong woman character. Inspiring, and a very enjoyable summer reading
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5very readable tale of Jared Chillhurst who escorts some goods back for Olympia Wingfield, an old maid at 25, raising her motherless nephews and studying a lot of documents including one that may lead to a treasure associated with Jared's family. He takes on a job tutoring her nephews, adventures follow where she and he search for the truth of the treasure and their relationship.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love Amanda Quick and always enjoy Anne Flosnik's telling of it.
