Web of Deceit - Book 1: A Naomi Reed Novella
Naomi Reed has a sexual appetite that no one man can please. Married to one of Las Vegas’ most powerful attorneys, she finds herself constantly looking for ways to feed her insatiable need and want of a good sexual encounter. With her undeniably beautiful and exotic looks, she has no problem attracting both men and women to satisfy her every whim.
Despite being an undercover sex addict, Naomi is one of the top salespeople at Talks Talk magazine where she meets an impressionable and totally enamored mailroom clerk with whom she lives out any and all the sexual fantasies she desires...no questions asked.
Naomi is living her best double life until a minor mishap makes her husband question her fidelity. He calls on his long-time friend Darius, who owns a well-renowned private investigative firm, to help him prove his gut feeling is right: his wife is cheating on him. William doesn’t have much time to figure it all out though. Based on their prenup, if he can’t prove Naomi’s been unfaithful by the time they reach their 6th wedding anniversary, she’ll be entitled to $2 million, no questions asked.
Both William and Naomi have a lot to lose, but she’s not willing to abandon her secret life, not even for her beloved William. Accustomed to getting anything she puts her mind to; Naomi thinks she can have her cake and eat it too. But can she continue her Web of Deceit and outwit a professional like Darius while hiding her secret affair from her street-smart husband?

William and Naomi are a married couple presumably in love, living the good life in Las Vegas. On the cusp of their sixth wedding anniversary, William discovers odd behavior by his breath taking wife, causing him to suspect she is cheating. Instead of confronting her, he decides to hire a private investigator to dig up evidence. If he can prove his suspicions, William will save himself from paying Naomi 2 million dollars because of a prenup. If she makes it to the day after their sixth year anniversary, she gets the money - proof or no.
The sneakiness of William put me off from his character. Though I did not blame him for doing it, it just left a bad taste in my mouth. He seemed more concerned with his money, which he has plenty, than his marriage falling apart. Not once did he express his hurt or unhappiness about the suspected betrayal. His first and seemingly only though was about his bank account. Most men would be pissed that their wife was giving up the goods to another man. For that reason I had trouble liking his character. I think there is more than meets the eye with this man.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t condone cheating. And Naomi is a big old garden tool! She has a lover that she utilized frequently! Apparently she has a sex addiction and can’t get enough. All I can say about her is at least she only had one lover. I have to hand it to her, though. The woman is smart. The lengths she goes through to remain hidden is good. She is a definite trickster and able to go back and forth between her husband and lover seamlessly. She did slip up by underestimating her husband. He has proven to be just as cunning.
Just as the twist in the plot started happening the book ended. I am curious enough to see what happens next to get book 2 in the series. This was a good read. The author is very talented and his descriptions of the world he created are engaging. It is my first time reading his work and I enjoyed it very much.

The story opens with a steamy scene that sets the tone for the book. Jefferson proceeds to introduce us to our protagonist, Naomi, a successful professional married woman with bit of sex addiction. She has no idea that her husband of 5 years suspects that she has been unfaithful and he sets out to to proof his assumption right.
Jefferson takes great care in delivering well thought out and stimulating physical scenes that may leave you in need of ......well you'll have to read it to find out. The use of providing very descriptive imagery in each and every scene goes along way in making the reader feel a part of the story. However, you have to be careful to not to send the reader into sensory overload with the describing every single detail in a scene. This may result in a reader skipping passages. I would have liked to know why Naomi was described as having a sex addiction or been privy to the actions that led to that description. Maybe it will come in book two?
All in all, there was good character and storyline development. The story flows well.
The content is relevant and the editing was superb. I have yet to come across a manuscript that had no errors, but I digress. Jefferson does a great job of creating tension and the necessary heat to hold your interest and finish this tale in one sitting. This erotic drama ends on a tension filled note. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting something interesting and steamy.
On to book two!!

On the edge of my seat!
Honey, I don't know who to look at or where to start. This is some off the wall, tom foolery type of stuff here. I don't know who's innocent or who's guilty. Everybody is a suspect now! What I do know is that I'm here for the uncovering and unveiling. Part 2 here I come!

This book... Yes!!
I don’t know why I am team Naomi, possibly because I I think William didn’t intend on being married past 6 years. I love how Naomi controls all aspects of her of life, and she does it well! Easy read and can’t wait to see what happens in book 2.
