Deception Kindle Edition

by Laura Ranger (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars (10)
Izzy has had a long line of liars make up her past. It’s her history that makes her in high demand as an Art Authenticator. She can spot a fraud, as well as a forgery with little effort. Izzy no longer makes room in her life for men since she knows all men lie. She would rather have a dog. That is until Caleb Matthews sweeps her off her feet with his genuine, sincere, no-nonsense way. Over time, she allows him to break down her walls of mistrust. She learns how to make allowances for people that may be flawed, and not always entirely honest. But is that wise? After 25 years of marriage she begins to suspect there’s more to her husband then what she’s known. No matter how she tries, she can’t find anything amiss. Is her paranoia from being deceived in her past sabotaging her future or is there something more she’s missing? Whatever you imagine the end will be may have a bit of truth, but you won’t see the twist until it’s too late.

Laura Ranger is a natural storyteller who has been turning life’s moments into tales since childhood. A mother of one and grandmother of four, Laura began writing down her fictional stories to the delight of family and friends. With over thirty years of storytelling experience, her passion for writing has only grown stronger over time.

Her publishing journey began with a short story featured in the Christmas anthology "Eight ‘Til Christmas", a project supporting the fight against child hunger. Seeing her story in print lit a creative fire she describes as unstoppable.

Laura is the author of "Deception" and "Royalty", and she co-authored the novel "Rogue". In 2025, she released two new titles: "Made for Me", and "Taken: The Complete Carl Higdon Story", a non-fiction work. Her novel "Royalty" has blossomed into a four-book series "The Royal Lineage Series", with "Heirs" (Book Two), "Chosen" (Book Three), and "United" (Book Four) all slated for release in early 2026.

She is also developing a thoughtful new book called "Lessons", which she envisions as a shared reading experience between parents and children. While originally written for young readers, Laura discovered that the meaningful themes resonate with readers of all ages.

A prolific writer with countless ideas in the works, Laura continues to bring her stories to life, one book at a time. “God blessed me with a natural gift of storytelling,” she says. “It’s up to me to use that gift to the best of my ability.”

Beyond her work as an author, Laura is also the owner of the traditional Foundations Book Publishing Company, and the hybrid for self-publishing Vitality House Book Publishing Company, where she helps others share their stories with the world.

Deception
Deception by Laura Ranger I really loved this book. I finished it in one and a half days and I work 10 hour days. I just couldn't go to bed until I finished it. I was totally engrossed. Now, how do I tell you how great Deception is with no spoilers?? Izzy Greenblat has her dream job as an Art Authenticator and she abhors LIARS. Everyone lied to her, even her parents. Then Izzy met Caleb Matthews. He is warm, tender, suave and sinfully handsome. Caleb only has eyes for Izzy, he was even tested by her sorority sisters. Caleb passed with flying colors and Izzy fell hard. Izzy and Caleb married and embarked on their luxurious honeymoon. Life was glorious and Caleb was so attetive to Izzy now that she is pregnant with their princess, Sienna Joy. Caleb uses work for his absence at the birth of his daughter. He even missed the birth of their second child, Ramey. Izzy wants the truth no matter how she has to get it. But is Izzy prepared for the whole truth from Caleb due to all his lies. When you think you know what is going to happen. NOPE!! You Don't. You will not believe how this story ends. Phenominal ending for sure. I give this book a 5 star rating and I hope all you readers will give it a try. Excellant story and perfect ending.

    Superbly told tale about love, family and deceit that also goes a step further and uncovers the inner workings of a sociopath's/psychopath's mind. Why does he/she do what he/she does? What does he/she think or feel? Is it nature or nurture that creates the monsters that terrify the innocent? These questions are pondered and some are answered in this romantic thriller.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017
    #### 4 ####

    Laura has written a story with an eye for an inner intimacy of her characters. You are in the midst of their lives, seeing and feeling all as they do. Giving them strength by allowing them to work through their own vulnerabilities and fears. Although sometimes moving slowly, the need to know how this is going to end, keeps the reader intrigued.

    Izzy's life is not what it seems, it never has. Living her life to her potential and finding happiness with what she has, is her truth. Her children she gave her all. Being able to build a relationship with her brother that had been nonexistent before. Her marriage, Caleb wasn't perfect, but she did love him, at one time. When the truth cannot be ignored any longer, she can only pray she survives the path she has chosen.

    When evil can no longer be ignored, survival is the only thing Izzy can focus on. The evil she finds surrounding her, the years that it has taken from her and her family is her push to find freedom from the darkness that has clouded her for too long.

    A great story of family, trust, lies, betrayal, hope and the ability to see a glimmer of light at the end of a dark tunnel.

    { Possible Spoiler Alerts} This book had a -stunner- twist at the end and information I didn't know about one of my favorite animals... Wow. The female protagonist went through hell and I almost stopped reading the book after an incident with her pet at the beginning of the book but I kept on because the author had me hooked and I'm glad I did. Definitely a must read!

    Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2016
    *I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

    Deception by Laura Ranger is one of those reads that will stay with you long after you've finished. It was a thrilling ride with an ending you did NOT see coming. The author did an amazing job on both the story and the characters. Some I loved and some I hated. Like really hated. Good job Miss Ranger! Right from the beginning the story pulled me in. I devoured the whole book in record time! I felt many emotions while reading this book. It ranged from “aww how happy!” to “omg what the heck!” to “wow, I didn’t see that coming.”

    If you’re a fan of a thrilling and suspenseful read that’s different from what’s out there, this book is for you! I promise you won’t be disappointed! I give this 5 stars!

    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2016
    Deception is the well crafted, suspenseful story of Izzy, a woman who has had her fill of liars. When she meets and falls in love with Caleb she believes that the lies and liars are all in her past . Years later she realizes just how wrong she was. Izzy takes you along as she unravels the lies she has been living and then as she works to expose Caleb's deceit. You will be cheering her on right up to the climax of the story which has a twist you will not see coming. If you have ever been deceived by someone's lies, and even if you haven't, I think you will find this a very satisfying read .

    I had the opportunity to read parts of this book as it was being created, however knowing the writer so well, I knew I would just frustrate myself by having to wait until the next chapter was written.

    Boy was I right and glad I waited!!!

    There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a liar get whats coming to him or her. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but suffice to say you will be rooting for Izzy long before you will have a reason to. From beginning to end, this book kept me glued.

    4.0 out of 5 stars "Deception" by Laura Ranger
    Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2016
    Isabelle’s distaste for liars came early in life. “Izzy” weathers her share of problems in life, and thinks this is all behind her when she meets handsome, interesting, passionate Caleb. Even though he tickles her gut instinct, she ignores this…until a stunning revelation after their youngest child has left for college, and Izzy fights demons more powerful than any childhood trauma. I had goosebumps at the chilling end to Izzy’s tale. “Deception” by Laura Ranger is a terrifying lesson to listen to our instincts!

    Oh Laura Ranger.....I was bouncing off the wall when I'd finished this book! I Bleddy loved it.

    The story revolves around Izzy and how her young life had been riddled with lies, falsehoods and untruths, then along comes Daryl and he slowly gains her trust, he works so hard to reassure her that life with him will be perfect.

    The twists and turns made me shout out loud, I tutted, I shook my head.....I was very animated as this story unfolded!!!!

    Izzy is a total badass and when I grow up I want to be just like her (no spoilers, you'll see) the woman inspired me to always trust yourself, if you think there's something afoot, then you're probably right!!!!

    Congratulations Laura, you have a fan for life.......you must get this book, and trust me, you won't want to put it down until the end!
