Engaging Deception by Regina Jennings

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?

My review: This is book three in the Joplin Chronicle Series.  It's not necessary to read the first two books in the series to read this book.  I enjoyed reading Olive's story.  There's not a great mystery in this book.  It's just a nice easy read.  The characters have flaws.  But strive to overcome them.  

I recommend this book to all who want a nice clean romance story.

I was given this book by Bethany House Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
