Engaging Deception

Joplin Chronicles, Book 3

De: Regina Jennings

Narrado por: Ann Richardson

Olive Kentworth has spent her life hiding her interest in architecture, even though she pores over architectural books and sketches buildings. When she accepts a job on a home expansion, it's only because her cousin Amos agrees to pose as the builder. To further hide her involvement, Olive takes a position as a nanny—not knowing that she'll be working for her idol, Joplin's leading architect, widower Maxfield Scott.

Maxfield is intrigued by his new nanny—she makes his home and his life bearable again. His work, on the other hand, is a disaster. An untrained builder is remodeling a completed project of his. What's worse, Maxfield's current client wants changes to his plans because of that builder's work.

As the architectural one-upmanship heats up, Olive's involvement becomes harder to hide. Will the relationship between her and Maxfield survive, or will they both miss out on building something for their future?

Can't put it down

This book was easy to read cover to cover. This one is easily my favorite. Olive and Maxfield are a great fit. Loved the story line and connection to the other two books but yet it could be read on its own. The author does a fantastic job with details and humor. As usual, Regina Jennings, always finds a way to make me laugh out loud while reading her book, awarding me the attention and strange looks of those around me. Can't wait until her next book.

Smart writing!

What a great continuation of the Joplin Series. It is artfully crafted around a strong female lead.

Enjoyable inspirational romance!

This is a funny, sweet, poignant romance! While it’s the third book in the series, it can definitely be read as a standalone.

I enjoyed the narrator. At first, it took me awhile to get used to her voice, but once I did, I liked the narration. She voiced both male and female characters equally well.
