Description

" A frothy girl drink of houses, hunks and whodunit narrated in a breezy first person.. ." Lyda Phillips, The Nashville Scene " Hooks you in the first page and doesn't let go until the last! " Lynda Coker, Between the Pages " The hilarious dialog and the tension between Savannah and Rafe will delight fans of chick-lit mysteries and romantic suspense. " Jo Ann Vicarel, Library Journal " Move over Stephanie Plum, there is a sassy, sexy sleuth in town! If you enjoy your cozy mysteries with a good shot of romance, and a love triangle with a sexy bad boy and a Southern gentleman in the mix, then you will love this. Very reminiscent of the Stephanie Plum books, but the laughs are louder, the romance is sexier and there is a great murder mystery to top it off. " Bella McGuire, Cozy Mystery Book Reviews " Enough wit and sexual chemistry to rival Janet Evanovich! " New York Times bestselling author Tasha Alexander " Equal parts charming and sexy, with a side of suspense. Hero and heroine, Savannah Martin and Rafe Collier, are a pairing of perfection. " Paige Crutcher, examiner.com " I have loved this series since book one and have enjoyed being along for the ride as Savannah has grown from the princess on the hill who tried to live up to her mother's outdated expectations into a strong woman who stands up for her own beliefs and the man she loves. Jenna Bennett has tackled a sensitive subject with honesty, Southern charm, and laugh out loud humor. And the series keeps getting better. I can't wait for the next one.

Lots of twists and turns and surprises! Great book!

I loved this book. I could not wait for this book to arrive on my Kindle and I was not disappointed. Savannah, Rafe, Mrs. Jenkins, Savannah's mother, Darcy, Dix, Tammy, Audrey, they are all back to continue Savannah's story. Savannah is in her ninth month and looks out the window and lo and behold, Rafe's grandmother is outside, wet and with blood on her. They must find out what happened as they are worried the elderly woman with memory issues will be blamed for a crime. What they uncover is just nothing that I would have thought of at the onset of the story. A clever and interesting plot. Also, there is the story of Audrey and Savannah's mother and their rift. I was just flabbergasted by the next surprise in the story which I will not give away. And--the baby, also which I will not give away. A masterful plot and a story I which I wish could keep I going on as Savannah and her family always entertain. Highly recommended!
