Blind romance author Oliver Cameron uses the pen name of Fidel Amore and thinks he has the perfect life at his country estate near Desolation Bluff. After a honeymoon in Paris, his wife Vanessa continues her work as his assistant. His friend Ray is the business manager who lives in the gatehouse and also acts as the public face of Fidel Amore, doing all those book-signing trips that Oliver never wanted to attend. Helen Dunkley is the housekeeper devoted to him since childhood – but she detests the two newcomers.

Complications set in when Ray, working on his old car, accidentally backs into Oliver. His injuries appear minor but the next day he suddenly regains his sight. Oliver wants Ray and Vanessa to be the first to hear his good news, but when he finds them he uncovers a shocking betrayal.

A game of cat and mouse begins – and with the arrival of a mysterious stranger, it turns deadly.

A short suspense novel that will keep you guessing right to the very end.

I enjoyed this book and found it very easy to read. The story had me intrigued from the start with Oliver a blind romance writer and his new wife Vanessa. The setting was an important part of the story and totally believable, as I know the general area where it was set. The characters were well written and the suspense grew as Oliver regained his sight and 'saw' what was really going on with his wife and friend Ray. I enjoyed Toni's novel Dead Dry Heart and this was just as good a thriller. I received an ARC at no cost from the author, this is my honest review.

Frankly speaking

Highly recommended

Reviewed in Australia on 3 May 2019

Readers of Toni Pike’s previous four novels in the ‘Magus’ series know of her mastery of intriguing plots and exciting action scenes. Toni describes her new book, ‘Desolation Bluff’, as a novella, an interesting format in which she packs plot and characters that would normally fill a full-length novel, into far fewer pages. I received an advance release copy at no cost from the author.
All Toni’s usual elements of plot, character, action, and a little bit of sex are there in this novella, but its shorter length enables the reader to enjoy it in four or five bites, or a two-cups-of-coffee-and-a-sandwich binge.
‘Desolation Bluff’ is written in a very brisk style. A successful writer of rapid-write romance novels who has been blind since a childhood accident, is on a two-week honeymoon in Paris with his assistant who has become his wife. So far so good, but because the book’s cover describes it as a thriller, the reader immediately suspects that this romantic scene might not last the distance. The plot moves from Paris to the Southern Highlands near Sydney, Australia, where additional characters ensure there are many surprising developments – but you do need to read to the very last page. Highly recommended.

I couldn't put it down

Reviewed in Australia on 9 May 2019

I've read all of Toni Pike's books, The Magus Series and Dead Dry Heat and enjoyed them all. I love a twist in the tail and this one is no exception. I thought I had the plot figured out early in the book but the author did it again by weaving a different storyline to what I expected. The book is easy to read and I actually read it in an afternoon and although the author classifies it as a novella it had all the elements of intrigue and deception. I would totally recommend this book and as an Australian loved that it was set in a beautiful part of the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of the book at no cost from the author, however, the comments are my honest review of the book.

Oliver Cameron writes popular romance novels under the pen name of Fidel Amore. What makes Oliver's success as an author more impressive is how it happens. After falling from a tree as a young boy, Oliver loses his vision. He amazingly overcomes his disability and becomes a prolific writer.

Since Oliver prefers to live in seclusion and concentrate on writing, the people around him develop a plan to further his financial success. Elizabeth Townsend, the senior editor at a publishing company, introduces Oliver to Vanessa and her friend, Ray. They develop a scheme where the handsome playboy, Ray, poses as Fidel to attract more female followers. Oliver can concentrate on writing while the others can focus on marketing Fidel. The formula works well as Oliver churns out four books per year that achieve excellent sales

Oliver and Vanessa mary, but Ray and Vanessa are having a steamy affair behind the scenes. When Oliver finds out, Toni Pike's well-crafted story becomes even more intriguing and fast-paced. The writing is excellent, and this book is a page-turner from cover to cover. The ending is quite satisfying, as well. About my only issue with this excellent book were a couple of moments of implausibility. This was the first book I've read by Pike, but it won't be the last.
