She Doesn't Have a Clue by Jenny Elder Moke

💖💖💖💖/5 


She Doesn't Have a Clue by Jenny Elder Moke is an entertaining, an interesting story, the perfect combination of wedding romcom and spooky mansion locked-door mystery. There are so many characters and yet the story never feels overwhelming trying to remember who is who and what their motives are. There are also a great number of red herring moments and epic plot twists.


Bestselling mystery author Kate Valentine has no intention of attending her editor (and ex-boyfriend)'s wedding to the niece of the “Bitch Bull of Wall Street,” Rebecca Hempstead. But when she receives a special invitation from Rebecca herself, she's intrigued. She can’t resist an exclusive event with only a handful of important guests, free champagne, and the chance to experience the historical estate’s many luxuries. Kate figures she can plaster on a smile and get through the festivities: but two things catch her off guard: First, her longtime crush, adventurer Jake Hawkins, is mistakenly invited as her plus-one, which means they’ll have to share a room and confront unresolved feelings. Second, the lovely bride, Kennedy, is poisoned in a manner eerily similar to a murder in one of Kate's novels, making Kate the prime suspect.

Rebecca's announcement about her inheritance plans are causing chaos among her relatives, and an ex-lover, now a drunk, is hurling threats and seeking revenge. Then there’s the rebellious author leading a small protest against the latest PR policies at the publishing, where the bride and groom hold high level positions. With everyone seemingly scheming behind closed doors, it becomes clear that everyone has a motive. Determined not to be framed for murder, Kate uses her vivid imagination and channels her inner detective, allowing her to view things through the eyes of her famous detective character, Loretta Starling. Jake offers his help while enjoying their fake dating, as the wedding festivities continue. Sparks are flying, but danger is lurking: there’s a killer on the loose, and Kate must catch them before it’s too late. The only problem: she doesn’t have a clue. A fast paced story with twists and turns that kept me guessing. A enjoyable read for fans of cozy mysteries, romantic suspense, and whodunnits.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting

 ðŸ’–💖💖💖💖/5 Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting is a college hockey romance between a super outgoing hockey star and an introverted girl who writes sizzling hot LoTR fanfic in her spare time.   Cammie Lovelock has a crush on Chase Lovett but has always felt invisible to the popular crowd. A fire in their dorm sends all the students to a nearby hotel until damages are repaired and she ends up rooming with her hockey crush Chase; thanks to having the gender neutral first name of Cameron. To make matters worse, there is only one bed. It might have accidently started with these two opposites rooming together, but it led to a wonderful, sizzling hot relationship; one where they are there for each other.   I loved the sibling and friend connections this book had to the Toronto Terror series. Getting glimpses of some of our favorite Terror characters was perfect. I can’t wait to see where this series goes ; especially to read Tally and Brody’s stories.   REA...
