A Proposal to Die For by Molly Harper

 💖💖💖💖/5


A Proposal to Die For by Molly Harper is an enjoyable mix of a thriller with a strong romance, with people dying at a luxurious retreat, that kept me guessing until the very end.

 

Jessamine Bricker is the owner and mastermind of Bricker Consultants, Inc., a proposal planning business. A workaholic, shed is known for her diligently planned events where the potential groom can ultimately surprise his (or her) future mate with a spectacularly one of its kind proposal. However, planning for her latest client could be the death of her. Jess was approached by a former schoolmate, Diana, who was disappointed by the way her boyfriend Trenton Tillard the Fourth proposed. Believing she’s a social media influencer, Diana didn't find his sincere proposal acceptable to her brand. Despite the fact that Jess has no love for the snobby Diana, the opportunity to make enough money to buy the building where she lives and works tempts her. Diana wants Jess to come up with a high end event that can be viewed by all. Unfortunately for Jess, this planning time includes a week long retreat with Diana, her cousin, Kiki, and her wedding planner at an exclusive spa retreat in the mountains of Tennessee. Jess immediately knows upon arrival that this isn't going to be a relaxing time.

The Golden Ash resort has no internet or cell phone connection, annoying and angering Diana.  Jess finds herself trying to stay sane and calm despite Diana's outrageous demands and the wedding planner's complaints; finding refuge with the Osbournes, who own and run the spa. Jess and grumpy executive chef, Dean Osbourne are attracted to each other and becoming involved. She is going to need Dean and his cousins after finding the body of a guest drowned in a meditation pool. When Trenton and his two best buddies arrive at the spa more chaos ensues. Jess then discovers the body of Clay, Trenton's best friend who was going to be the best man, in the sauna room. Jess is starting to think that there might be something much more dangerous going on than just having to deal with Diana's pouting. As deadly secrets unfold, Jess must figure out the mystery before her plans are permanently canceled.

This was an enjoyable story with a wonderful mix of humor, mystery, and suspense. It kept me engaged from start to finish, and I loved how the author balanced the lighthearted moments with the darker twists. If you’re looking for a fun, quick read with a unique mystery, this one is definitely worth picking up.

 💖💖💖💖💖/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.
