Fatal Deception

Fatal Deception Sizzles!!

For me, Fatal books are one's to savor. Even if I get an ARC, I still wait because once I finish it, that's it for a while, I'm done. So I like to take my time, read slow and really ENJOY the time I get to spend with Sam, Nick and the whole Fatal crew. Yes, it did only take me a day to read this last installment, but every hour was soooooo worth the wait.

Fatal Deception sucks you into the plot from the first chapter and has you on a roller coaster ride of suspense until the very end. I had so much fun reading this book, I wished I could be Sam for the day...Sometimes her job can be SO MUCH FUN!!

The emotions were running high, the sexual chemistry between Nick and Sam was OFF THE CHARTS HOT, and we have some great new characters ready to stir up some action. I will say that I did kind of fall a little in love with FBI Agent Avery Hill, I really enjoyed being able to get into his head and I do hope that Marie finds him a soul mate...he really is the "heart stealer" of the book.

There are so many things that I want to say, but I hate giving ANYTHING away, especially to my tasty readers who are HUGE Fatal Fans. All I will say is that you won't be able to get enough, especially when Nick takes charge...oh baby...just you wait!! And the end, if the "letter" doesn't have you tearing up, then a certain conversation will have you reaching for a tissue.

Marie, I love this series, and I guess we can thank Baby Sofia for being stubborn and not wanting to come out, that I was able to read and review Fatal Deception. I am so excited for what you have in store for us next, and I will be a Fatal Fan For Life!!

Another hit for the "Fatal" series!!

What would have made Fatal Deception better?

This is the 5th book inthe "Fatal" series by Marie Force. The first book takes you by storm and the storm hasn't stopped yet. I suppose any could be read alone, but if read in order if you can. I hated to have the story stop---I'll need to wait months for another installment!I read dozens of books each month---few have gripped me so quickly and entertained me so well as the "Fatal" books. This one doesn't disappoint!

Southern, not stupid

Hated, hated, hated the southern accent. OMG! Horrible! And please let Nick do something worse than hang up his clothes. He is too good to be true even for a romance novel. I am starting to hate him! I have read and listened to all these books, and I need a more flawed hero! I actually like Sam, but I can't see her with Nick. They are turtle doves!UGH!

Best of the Series

This is the very best of a very good series, so far. I enjoyed every minute of it and was very glad that it wrapped up some dangling ends from other parts of the series. Can't wait to start the next one!

Just Love This Series

Each book in this series just gets better. FBI agent Avery Hill deserves a great lady but definitely not Sam. Nick and Sam are fated.

Great characters

Another good book in this series. A young mother is murdered and her child abducted. Sam and her team aren't given many clues and they have to dig deep to figure this out. Throw in politics, cold cases, and personal issues and Marie Force has given us an entertaining story. The characters in this series are likable and interesting; I'm invested in what happens to them.

A few nit picky things. Too much time is spent, in each book, in going over things that happened earlier. If the author is trying to make each book a stand-alone I feel it's annoying to readers who have been following the series. Give us some credit. And I think each successive book is getting a bit more graphic sexually. I'm not a prude and I read a lot in the romance genre but the dive into fifty shades was, IMO, a bit much. Actually, I fast forwarded through that.

Still, I look forward to continuing this series. Who can't like Scotty and I'm curious to see what happens to him.

Gerting better and better

This series is getting more and more like the "In Death" series by J.D. Robb - I see many parallels. I like the story around Sam & Nick almost as much as I did (do) the one around Dallas & Roarke. However, the narrators of the "Fatal" series aren't quite up to Susan Ericksen. Especially the character of FBI agent Avery Hill is awful to my ears - sooooo slooooooow.

Good series

Love this series. It is such a sweet love story with everyday events. Make you feel happy. Love it all!

why????

What would have made Fatal Deception better?

damned near anything...i loved this series till i got to this one and it is all i can do to finish it

What could Marie Force have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

cut the crap...make her characters more believable...yee-gods.... the fbi agent is a joke, the kid is too good to be real...seriously what kid wants to go to a political fundraiser??? the southern accent is horrific...no one is as plucky and whiny all at the same time as sam has become...and no cop ever gets hurt that often...and it's always something that hurts but not slaughters her "ravishing" beauty....

Would you be willing to try another one of Felicity Munroe’s performances?

ok till she tries southern male...horrible

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

not that i have heard so far... i am done after this one...cause i can forsee sam getting into sexual submission... ick... not for a smart and savvy cop...and no two people are as hot for each other as these two..gimme a break...and the premise that without winning a single election the valiant nick is being groomed for the next presidential election??? .

Any additional comments?

she started with a wonderful couple of books...so sad they did not go the distance

Southerners do to sound like Hill

What did you love best about Fatal Deception?

Good series. Great adventure for the senator and LT.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sam. She is a complex character who excels at work and tries to balance marriage and family.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

no. Hill sounded like a slow idiot. The narrator is unable to portray the male voices.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no
