Albeit the second book (Full Pursuit) is much better than this one, this book is also an extraordinary writ that won't let you close it till you finish it. This book has everything: mystery, love, science, slaughter and some jokes. Everything'll thrills you till the end. If Unit One really exists or not that's a good question, and if they work as the book says is a better one. Now we have to wait until they release the last one of the sequel (Final Justice) to compare the three books.
Must have the sequel!

When I read a customer review I wonder about their age and the reader's overall mood at the time they read the book. For this reason, I will not let a lone negative review sway my decision for buying a book to read. In this case, I was not sorry! It is a well written story and the on going tension of the main character's own personal conflicts added to the suspense. I would have given this book 5 stars, but the begining didn't personalize Melody well enough and she just sort of "dropped" out of the art world and became an over accomplished/overnight agent of sorts. BEAUTIFUL emotions and I loved the tension between Melody and Nick and can't wait until Nov. I give this four and a half!
A great mystery/romance

I liked this book very much. When Melody's mother dies mysteriously she finds out that her "father" is actually very dangerous and she is "convinced" to be a new recruit for Unit One, a covert government agency committed to taking down her father. She meets and falls for the head of the new recruits.The characters are smart and sexy and they have hidden scars that they are wary of letting anyone see. They can't help the attraction but they are determined not to let anything deeper than that develop. But they can't help themselves. I enjoyed the missions and the intelligence of the agency and the characters. I definitely recommend this book and am eagerly awaiting the sequel.
Can't wait for the sequel

The action, the characters, and plot were great. The action of becoming a secret agent to avenge your family, the characters were in depth and deep, fears and strengths that just not only touch the reader but make the characters believeable, plus there were unsuspected surprise and make me all the more excited about the sequel, coming later this year. I have read some of the harlequin/sihoulette books by Ms. Cresswell but these romantic suspense novels are my cup if tea. A fantastic must read
Hail to The Queen of Romantic Suspense

Decoy is a must read book. It starts off with the murder of Rosalind Melody's Mother. Not only does Melody need to find her mother murderer but who her real father is. Suspects abound. There plenty of surprises as well. Also Unit One appears who are they and what do they want with Melody. This book is so exciting and you won't be bored. If you were disappointed by Dead Ringer This will more than make up for it. I can't wait for Full Pursuit.
