*SPOILERS*I gave 'Deception' 3 stars because it was just okay for me. I liked the  main characters. They were well written and described for the most part. The city-hopping was also great. I loved reading about Alex's charity work and trying to use his excessive amounts of money for good.There were a few moments in the that plot that were simply unbelievable for me, as a reader, to swallow i.e. he doesn't recognize her at all after seeing her without red hair, Justine sudden speaks fluent French, Alex invites her to Paris after he's literally just met her.The theme is deception (as the title suggests) but I found the sole reason the two characters split in the first place is because of something so trivial. If the reason were she cheated then I could understand Alex's reaction when he found out the truth.Another element that confused me on occasion was changing who was speaking in the book. It wasn't just in the chapter, but sometime they changed in the actual paragraph. It meant that I had to stop and re-read the sentence as the character POV changed from Justine to Alex then back again.
