No-nonsense jewelry designer Iris Fortune yearns for a normal life. But life as Vegas magician Cosmo Fortune's daughter is anything but normal, especially since dear old Dad is also a scam artist. When Cosmo's latest scheme goes awry and he pulls a real-life disappearing act, Iris is left holding the bag.

Mickey's put his life on the line before, but never his heart and now he's not sure which is more dangerous...

Lying Eyes

Lying eyes was a good enough book to finish. Then again I usually finish a book I began. The story was a bit trite at times but the topic of jewels, (Alexandrite to be exact), mobster types, the police, and a light love story, carry the story through. I was a little distracted by Edgar, Cosmo the magicians rabbit, when it was mentioned a number of times that he blinked. Rabbits do not blink often. I do know this as I raised rabbits in the past. So for me, it pulled me away from the story briefly. Amy Atwell is an exceptional writer however. This is reflected in her period book Ambersley (Lords of London Book 1). It is worth checking out if you like period storylines.

Lying Eyes...They're Watching You!

Lying Eyes was like reading a madcap, action-adventure story featuring the Fortunes of Las Vegas led by the slippery and elusive magician, master of disguise and patriarch Cosmo Fortune. He was at the epicentre of all things good and bad happening in this book.

Iris Fortune, jewellery designer by trade, is the calm, cool and collected eldest daughter of Cosmo Fortune. But she's kinda written off dear ole dad, who's never really been a part of her life...until he turns up missing. Next thing you know she`s got a hot, petty jewel thief sticking to her like glue, two previously unknown young women who turn out to be her new half sisters and 10 million dollars in missing gems. Now bad people are after Cosmo and the gems he`s supposed to have in his possession and if they have to go through Iris and her new found sisters to get to him - well then that's what they'll do. Ohh Daddy Dearest this latest escapade you're embroiled in could get somebody dead...in a hurry!

Lying Eyes had a humorous, light, fun feel to it. Even though it's a romantic suspense and lives were threatened numerous times, I never felt anyone was ever really in danger. I know you're not supposed to like the bad guys, but the bumbling, buffoon henchman Jock and Pebbles provided a lot of comic relief (they reminded me of the bad guys in Home Alone getting bested by Macaulay Culkin). And who names a goon Pebbles? He was nothing but a big ole simpleton oaf with a soft spot for animals - especially the magician's 20 lb white rabbit Edgar who always seemed to have his little twitching nose right in the thick of things.
