Carole Barnes once believed she would make her own way in Hollywood, but those days are long gone, leaving behind only a dark, slimy secret that Carole has never shared with anyone. Now she hides in the bright sunshine of the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. As far away as she can get from Hollywood. But what to do when Hollywood comes knocking in the form of a sexy movie star?

Connor Wallace has everything going for him—looks, talent, a successful career—but what he really wants is to perform magic on stage. His love of magic leads him back to his mentor Walt Bryson. At first, he’s pleased when Walt suggests his assistant Carole produce a documentary of his transformation from movie star to magician. He’s worked with Carole before—but the ambitious girl who had a crush on him is gone now, leaving a beautiful, withdrawn woman.

It’s the perfect arrangement. Carole knows she can make a success of the movie and Connor wants to work with her. But as they grow closer, Connor determines to find out her secret. Can love overcome the boundaries of fear? Or will Carole’s past return to plague them both?

    Just finished all 5 books in this series within a week. WOW! The books can stand alone but you become invested in the characters and need to know the rest of the stories. Michelle does a magical way of transitioning to the next book that you feel the series is one book and you can't put it down. The excellent skill of writing has you believing all of it is real. You do start believing in magic and yes I do believe in magic and anxiously waiting for more. I will be reading all her works now. Bravo!

    3.0 out of 5 stars not really one for me
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018
    Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

    I'm jumping straight in here, because this is one of those reviews that is going to be difficult to write!

    Overall, I liked this book. Mostly.

    It's reasonably well written, from both Carole and Connor's points of view, so that was good. I didn't see any spelling or editing errors to spoil my reading.

    It just didn't grab me! I found myself wanting more, from Connor, about that break up with his ex-co-star. From Carole about what happened all those years ago in Hollywood. From them both, about each other, their feelings. . . . I. . . . just . . . .

    Wanted MORE!!!! And I can't word just WHAT I wanted, and that's why this is a hard review to write, cos I cannot, for the life of me, find the right words, and you know how much that PAINS me!

    It does deal with some difficult topics: being drugged and a sexual assault. It deals with these in a sensitive manner, but needs to be mentioned. I also found the assault story arc a little bit too much like what's going in the the REAL Hollywood right now, with the growing list of high powered Hollywood men being accused of various assaults. Maybe that's where the author got the inspiration from, I dunno, but I found it a little too much like it, you know??

    This is book 5 in the Sleight of Hand series, and I have not read the others. I did not feel I was missing anything, by not reading them And although Sabrina and Walter (book4) play a huge part here, I didn't feel I HAD to have read their story before this one.

    So, I'm sorry, but not one for me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gutsy and well-written romance
    Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018
    In the latest edition in the "Sleight-of-hand" series, author Michelle Garren Flye made bold choices. She broke out of the formulaic mold of most romance novels, and took on some tough issues, all the while making you care for the main characters as well as their friends. It is such a problem in the genre of the "They are attracted--why do they stay apart?" meme that is used to build the romantic tension. But Flye boldly takes on a #metoo concept, which not only explains why our heroine is reluctant, but makes understandable the hero's confusion as to why his advances are being rejected. It was a difficult choice, because in the hands of lesser writer, it could've been a cheap and tawdry device. But in Flye's excellent craftsmanship, it is handled artfully and the reader understands both sides of the conflict. The pace is fast, the characters moving and the concepts are strong. Ms. Flye is truly a gifted writer, and you will enjoy this delightful combination of romance, show-business insider story and magic.

    In full disclosure I was a beta-reader and magic consultant for the book. I was given a free book, but no other considerations.
