*** My Review ***
Counterfeit Lover by J.C. Farmer
I opted to read this book to take a break from my favorite contemporary romance novels. With unexpected twists and secrets to the very end, I must say that this novel maintained my attention until the very last page. Even though I’m not a fan of romantic thrillers and sci-fi isn’t my favorite genre, I enjoyed this fast-paced adventure in which romance, science fiction, and mystery are all intermingled.
Darrin Clarke and Janie Norman are the closest childhood friends who are linked by more than just friendship. Both of them are working hard to achieve their goals in Hollywood. He is prepared to go to any length to make it in Hollywood, especially with Janie Norman. Darrin’s only hope is to keep his loved one alive after being thrown into a movie set with a new identity, attempting to grasp all that is going on and witnessing the finest of Hollywood under the danger of contemporary technology. He moves from one adventure to the next, each one becoming more perilous and life-threatening. Will he be successful?
You’ll travel into the fantastical realm of Hollywood with this creative thriller, where you’ll meet all the legendary figures from the past. This book is made much more intriguing by reading about modern and historical luminaries like James Dean, Tesla, and Marilyn Monroe.
Counterfeit Lover is a captivating story of love, discovering one’s true nature, and the ultimate deceit. Each character was given a thorough introduction by the author, who elaborated on each one’s background, personality, and accomplishments. This makes it possible for readers to connect with each character.
You can be sure that this book will have you on the edge of your seat as you excitedly flip the pages to find out what happens next once you add the threat posed by contemporary technology. The plot was very intriguing, unexpected, and rather creative.
The majority of the book was well-paced, and the few sluggish spots can be overlooked when compared to the whole. The primary characters have a strong sense of development and are both approachable and complicated. We perceive them as the protagonists of the story’s dynamics and the keepers of reason among all the mayhem.
Finally, I had a sense of familiarity and connection with these performers and actresses. A tale that appeals to all readers, Counterfeit Lover deftly weaves together political objectives, insane ideology, and pure love. It combines murder, mystery, and hot love scenes. What more could one ask for? Having said that, I should mention that Farmer wrote his book with an older readership in mind. It does contain some strong language and suggestive love scenes.
All that said, this book is a pretty wonderful option for any reader because of its fast pace, fluid style, unique action sequences, and a hint of romance. In contrast to my usual reading preferences, I was surprised to find that I like this particular narrative. Until I read this book, romance, science fiction, and mystery never seemed like a suitable combo. And I assure you that the shocking cliffhanger will leave you eager for the next chapter.
If you’re looking for a modern romance mystery with Sherlock Holmes undertones and a ton of fictitious scenarios, don’t miss Counterfeit Lover by J.C. Farmer. A narrative that alters Hollywood concepts in the new contemporary day while preserving Hollywood classics.
