"Marilyn Clay's DECEPTIONS is a multi-layered story of struggle, lies and the quest for love in the New World. The author remains faithful to historical detail, including language and actions; which really sets the reader into the time period. It was a joy to read such a wonderfully written historical novel. Readers of historical fiction will find themselves completely immersed in the time period and, more importantly, in the story of feisty and intelligent Catherine, whose voyage to Colonial Jamestown is the beginning of a life-changing journey." —author, Libby Malin

I bought this book looking as always for an entertaining story to relax with at the end of the day. Perfect choice! Nice interesting historical setting in Jamestown. I love a book I can learn from and be entertained at the same time! Interesting story with excitement but no gore, sex in very good taste, a large but not too large cast of characters. My only complaint is that the book ends too soon! Book could have held my interest twice as long. I will seek out the next historical novel from this author. Well done, Marilyn Clay and I hope you produce more because I would like to read them! It's so nice to find an author you can count on and who has written a lot of books you can enjoy one after the other. Hope you are going to be one of those because I LOVE historical novels! You have a fan in me.Product details

DECEPTIONS A Colonial Jamestown Novel edition by Marilyn Clay Romance eBooks Reviews
The first 1/3 of the book was okay. I'm aware this is a fictional work but come on! I agree with another reviewer that said the ending was ridiculous. I, too, found myself lost. Also, the other poster was correct. While visiting England, Pocahontas likely would've been referred to her by her Christian name, Rebecca. Oh and by the way, no, the character's son with the Powhatan guy would not have been royalty amongst the Powhatan. Further more, Pocahontas was not a "princess" in Powhatan society, either. This was how the English presented her. Wahunsunacaw had over 100 children and despite the romanticism associated with the story, Pocahontas was hardly significant.
When Catherine Fielding was twelve, her mom died; she was sent to London to live with her guardians, Lord and Lady Montcrief as her dad was in the New World. Six years later, having failed to ever please her guardians, Catherine dreams of joining her father, brother and Noah in the New World wilderness. However, her need to escape from the Montcrief household becomes critical when her guardian "sells" her in marriage to Mr. Windmere who is older than her father in order to pay off his debts and insure the best dowry for their sixteen years old daughter Lucinda. Catherine manages to escape to The White Swann Inn where Princess Pocahontas, her spouse John Rolfe, and her retinue are staying to take her to the New World. Pocahontas offers her a home if her male relatives are not there, but Catherine soon learns her new friend is dead.
She sails on the Inverness to the Virginia Colony of Jamestown where her brother Adam and his wife welcome them. However, she is stunned to learn her beloved Noah has married someone else. Sadly, Catherine begins to make a life for herself, but when she has a second chance with Noah, he tells her he cannot marry her if he is to remain working on the Benson Plantation
Although there is a romantic subplot, Deceptions is a strong historical tale that brings to life the Virginia Colony mostly through the eyes of the intrepid obstinate heroine. The story line contains some action, but the prime focus is how the first English colonists struggle to survive in Jamestown. Readers will relish this in depth look at Jamestown circa 1617-1619.
