review 1: Emily Parker, a great character that exudes a lot of confidence and spunk, is a real estate agent. Her husband, a Private Investigator, had been shot to death six months earlier, and the murder has gone unsolved. Emily is approached by Delia, a former client of her husband, to take over the investigation her husband had begun. Emily agrees and becomes a Private Investigator with little or no experience. She also hopes to solve her husband's murder during this adventurous quest. And the story unfolds ----This was a nice sweet romance, mixed with mystery, and it had an interesting premise. You will find no foul language or graphic sex in this book - kudos to the author for that! However, the story was rather predictable, not very exciting - I was ready for it to be ov... moreer. I found that some sections were too wordy, moving slowly - it just didn't grab my interest. It was an easy read - perhaps too easy - and the ending was a let-down with unanswered questions. I'm sure that was to entice the reader on to the next book in the series. I have another one of the books in the series loaded in my Kindle, so I'll be reading it sometime in the future. If you're looking for a relaxed, easy read, you'll probably enjoy this book. My rating is 3 stars.
review 2: I can't give away too much without spilling... This book is a quick read. I enjoyed it. It was a tad slow in the beginning, but sometimes, it needs to be, so you get a good understanding of what the characters have gone through that influences the decisions they make now.Having said that, you really end up rooting for the heroine. You will not be disappointed in the twists this book delivers. less

Awkward phrasing, implausible actions on the part of poorly developed characters.
