I did a search on Goodreads for steamy Romantic Suspense. I needed something different. Number one hit for the genre was Linda Howard. Not this book but I had this one so I figured I would give it a shot. This wasn’t Romantic Suspense, this was more a Cozy Mystery. A who-done-it. So, because I won’t classify this as a Romantic Suspense I will start my review by stating this was a cute read. Cute doesn’t fit in a review of a Romantic Suspense but fits perfectly for this book. This was a “cozy” murder mystery surrounding a week of weddings. The main suspect, the wedding planner. I felt that so much of the book was spent describing each wedding in detail, the couple, the colors, the venue and the food. So much of this book was really about the weddings and not so much on the Romance or the Suspense. I did a lot of skimming in this book which is not like me. I just wasn’t that interested in the weddings and wanted the mystery, the romance and the suspense I thought I was reading about. I didn’t hate this book and for a cute little predictable cozy mystery it was perfect, if that was what I had wanted to read. Next Linda Howard read for me will be the number one hit from the list.
Read. Book Reviews by Jennifer
Read. Read. Read. I have been a reader since I learned how. It’s what I do. Everything else is kind of secondary, but shhh, that is just between us! I can’t actually remember any time in my life where I didn’t read. I am an addict and do not hide it or am I looking for a cure. I love reading so much I just got Read. tattooed on my arm so I can see it when I read.
I love reading books that have romance in them. They can have whatever else they want to but I love to have at least a touch of romance. Of course, I love a full blown romance too! I am not a big fan of real life stories or stories that rip my heart out. Too much emotion hurts my heart and I read for an escape. I also try to stay away from overly dark reads. There is a fine line that I walk and if I consider something that seems out of my comfort zone I have to read a lot of reviews and talk to other readers first.
When I am not reading I am very active on Goodreads. Reading reviews, writing reviews and chatting about books is second best to the actual reading. I don’t know how I lived without Goodreads. If I could go back in time and catalog everything I have ever read I would know true happiness. One day I would at least like to get all the books I own added to Goodreads. I have always been obsessed with keeping track. I always had lists with me so I knew what I read, what I wanted to read and what I owned. Now having one place to do this and with friends is amazing!
I try to review everything I read. I don’t usually provide a synopsis on my review; I focus more on what I honestly thought about the book. This opinion could at times be very long winded or sometimes just a sentence or two. I love reading and love to share my thoughts with others. Hopefully it will help them decide they also want to read the book. I will never be one of those amazing reviewers. You know the ones that I mean, you can’t miss them. But I do read daily and usually have something to say about the book that I read.
