To Thine Own Self Be True, Jun 3 2009
By Priscilla C. Johnson "bookmaniac" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sweet Deception (Mass Market Paperback)
The first question she asked NY Times best- selling author Ronald Montgomery rendered him speechless. He thought, "How dare she be so forward;" yet, she turned him on at the same time. There was something about Cleopatra Sinclair. Cleopatra was tall and sexy with a husky voice that pulled him in ways no other woman had ever done. In her first contemporary romance novel, Sweet Deception, Patricia Sargeant gives readers a story that is certain to be discussed by many.
Ronald soon learned that Cleopatra was really Joan Brown, an erotic romance writer. Intrigued by her mystery, he left his New York home to find her. Joan was completely different than her alter ego, Cleopatra. She was the middle daughter of Reverend K. Howard Brown. Joan and her sisters maintained a certain standard for the church and their family. How could she be this erotic romance author?
Ronald and Joan realized that they had a lot in common. He encouraged her to face her fears and her family. With Ronald, Joan learned to embrace her dreams. Ronald, with Joan's strength, realized that he did not need approval from those he cared about the most to be successful.
Sargeant has written a very unique romance novel. It was sexy and erotic in all the right places. However, the story also embraced hints of Christian Fiction. Ronald and Joan worked through issues with family, faith, acceptance and love. This was the first novel by Sargeant that I have read and it will not be the last. This book is highly recommended for book clubs because it will generate lots of conversation and fun.

After the Lies..., July 17 2009
By Malaika Tamu "Sweet n' Sassy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sweet Deception (Mass Market Paperback)
"Sweet Deception" is an INTRIGUING concept...I was totally CAUGHT UP in the budding romance of Joan and Ronald...Mrs. Sargeant weaves an ENGAGING tale...with a cast of well-developed and UNFORGETTABLE characters...the conflict and drama that the characters, (main and secondary) struggles with make this novel that much more compelling and entertaining...she creates quite a CAPTIVATING grown & sexy romance about personal and professional growth, love and life, and the UNFORTUNATE dysfunctional dynamics that some families experience...the whole church, family and erotic romance writing situation will quite possibly make for some interesting discussions among book club members.
