With Contemporary Romance being such a hot genre, I think it goes without saying, the genre has also become flooded. There's a lot of books to choose from. Which can be a good thing, but can also be troubling when you are a picky reader in the genre. There's just so much...boring...stuff out there. Just because it's a romance novel, doesn't mean there can't be suspense and conflict! In fact, if anything, I think you need MORE of those things to keep it interesting. This is something that Deborah McClatchey clearly understands, as evidenced by her novel here, So Much for Illusion.First, I have to say, I can't say Erica is the most likable person. BUT that is what makes the story enjoyable to read. She has her redeeming qualities, but she has a rocky past and makes some pretty bad choices. Getting married on the rebound would be the first one. Betraying that man would be the next. So here you are, all along withing things had worked out with Nick from the beginning, but also feeling bad for Tony because he is her husband now.
All throughout, I had to admit, I'm not sure what was really the best thing. It's impossible not to form strong opinions while reading this, but equally impossible to not understand where Erica is coming from and have conflicting opinions about what would have REALLY been the right thing to do. Erica doesn't do the right thing by anyone's standards, I'm sure, BUT what WOULD have been the right course of action? Does it all work out for the best in the end?
I guess you'll have to read if for yourself to find out.

So Much For Illusion eBook Deborah McClatchey Reviews
I picked this book up for my wife on the recommendation of a friend. We both read it and loved it and will be going back for more. So nice to find a new author to plow through. Whenever we buy this kind of book, we always use it to perk up our own life too. Never a dull moment. Anyway, both of us enjoyed reading out some of the passages, especially the ones with luscious descriptions. What's so intriguing about Deborah McCatchey's writing?
For one, her woman aren't those skinny models that one often sees peopling romance novels. No, they are real women. As well, her descriptions set the stage beautifully. You can feel the story building towards a surprise, ​​​​but it's never certain what that conflict will be. This one climaxes in an unexpected way. Triangles of love. Who knows?
I very much enjoyed this book. Erica is a very confused woman. She marries a wonderful man and moves to Texas leaving her Las Vegas dance career behind. Eventually, the martial duties begin to decline. Not taking this into discussion with her husband, she dares to get in touch with her ex lover, Nick. This is never a good idea. Not to give any spoilers, this was a fast-paced read that kept me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. Would she make the right decision? What was Nick’s secret past? I highly recommend and if you want an entertaining read, this is it.
This is the kind of book that gives you insight into how women think. The story follows the adventures of Erica, who is a retired, I guess you could say burlesque dancer (although there are flashbacks to the days when she was still dancing). I found those moments interesting because I've always been leery of dance shows. It always seemed to me that such shows, especially the ones with an element of eroticism, were something women were compelled to do out of necessity rather than enjoyment. However, Deborah McClatchey writes Erica's reflections on her employment with pride. This makes me reflect on where my impressions have come from. Am I just picking up social chatter that is reactionary and not a real indication of human behavior? It's certainly something to consider.
I also noted the female perspective in narrative choices describing attire. I liked the detail McClatchey used to discus every single article of clothing and how they fitted together to present a designed overall impression. Obviously I've thought about this kind of thing before such as wearing a suit for a job, but usually my personal reflections only come into play on formal occasions. It has never occurred to me to create an impression while I'm out shopping for groceries for example.
I'm also interested in the dual nature of Erica's thinking. She sometimes experiences stress over whether or not her husband might not be interested in her anymore, however, the second an old flame enters her life, she becomes flush with excitement. How can she be hyper aware of her own insecurities, but yet not be cognizant of the stress she might cause others?
Anyway, I was probably more compelled with the stuff that was revealed between the lines, but there was a lot in this story to keep me entertained. Give it a look!
Wrong choices? Right choices? Once again this highly talented author has delivered a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it highly!
I read 'So Much For Illusion' and loved this romance. Erica is trying to figure out what she wants. Does she want her husband or her ex? I was definitely hooked and want more! I loved the illusions! Awesome book! I couldn't get enough.
Erica is not sure what she wants. After quitting her job as a dancer in Las Vegas, a career she enjoyed, to marry a man from Texas, she wonders if she’s made a mistake. Instead of talking things out with her husband, she chooses to contact an ex-boyfriend.
Will this turn out to be a huge mistake? Or will this help her marriage? Finally, are Erica’s decisions based on reality or is she being fooled by illusion? Of course I won’t tell you, you need to read the book to find out.
I also wanted to mention Erica is not a typical thin, perfect character, the type featured in a lot of sensual romance stories. She is voluptuous and proud of it. This is a sexy, interesting read!
