Publisher's Summary:

From USA Today best-selling author J. L. Berg comes a sexy stand-alone about sex, lies, and everything dirty in between.

She wasn't just another job.

She was the story of a lifetime.

Laura Stone was the hottest author of erotic fiction in the country but also the most elusive. Known only by her pen name, there wasn't a person alive who wasn't dying to discover her true identity.

And I, Killian Turner, knew exactly where to find her.

Her real name was Kate O'Malley, and I fully intended on learning every dirty secret she had to exploit for my own gain. After all, isn't that what journalists do?

But I underestimated my prey. I didn't anticipate how her lips could seduce me or the touch of her body against mine would eventually become my ultimate undoing.

I never meant to fall in love. And now I had a choice to make - walk away or stay and risk everything.

Members Reviews:

Enjoyable Read!!!

I found FRAUD to be an enjoyable read, as I knew it would because it was written by J.L. Berg.

I have been a fan of her books since the very beginning and she has yet to disappoint me. Yes there are some books I enjoy more than others but every one of her books I would recommend to everyone.

Fraud is one of those books that I enjoyed but it wasn't my favorite. I had trouble connecting with Killian for most of the book. This book was going to be a 3.5 stars for me but the second half of the story really grabbed a hold of me and I was able to give it 4 stars. I felt the connection between Killian and Kate a lot more as the story went on. I did think the ended was a little rushed. I thought Kate was a little too forgiving....I wanted her to make Killian work a little harder to gain her trust and forgiveness.

I found the storyline fun and entertaining. I have often wondered about this very subject as I have read books I know that are written under a pen name. Is it feasible to live two separate lives?? Can someone be two different people and not have those lives intersect each other?? Well this book will give you those answers.

I would recommend this book to everyone who likes an entertaining read with not a lot of drama, but enough emotion and angst to keep you gripping the pages.

Great premise, average execution

3-3.5 stars. I was intrigued by the synopsis since it seemed to promise a dilemma of choosing one's career vs finding love and character transformation. It wasn't that I didn't like Kate or Killian, but neither of them particularly captured my interest either. At least not enough to feel invested in the success of their relationship. There were parts that could've really built up the tension and angst and then the execution didn't quite reach that potential. Killian didn't have enough background to really discover and support the kind of person that he is prior to meeting Kate. He just seemed like a regular guy with a "take no prisoners" attitude who was desperate for a good story/expose to sell so it was difficult to pick up on his chemistry with Kate, it seemed forced at times. As for Kate, she was an admirable enough heroine, the sort who was introverted and fearful due past issues, but eventually learned to open up and let it go, but she alone wasn't enough to carry the story on her shoulders.

Secrets

This is book 1 in a new series. In this book you meet Kate and Killian who are your primary characters.
