* Book 9 in the Domestic Diva series *Sophie's helping out with Amore Chocolates 50th Anniversary party. She's in charge of making sure things run smoothly with all the contest winners.My Thoughts: I really love this series! This new addition didn't disappoint; it's perfectly fantastic centered around a chocolate festival. I loved learning more about the chocolate business.
When the CEO, Joe Merano goes missing, the family asks Sophie to look for him. He would never miss his party - unless something was really wrong.
When she discovers the body of their main competition after one event, things start getting ugly. As Sophie digs around, she uncovers some family secrets that might have been better off hidden...
I felt bad for the Merano family - they had so many secrets and terrible things that happened between them. My heart went out to all of them.
I liked the new addition to the usual crew with the contest winners in town - especially the former police woman. She and her friend livened up the story.
As usual, I had mixed feelings about both Mars and Natasha. I can never decide if I feel sorry for them or if they bring everything upon themselves. Still, they lighten the plot and add humor to the story...
Cover Thoughts: Charming as always

Final Thoughts: Great addition to this fantastic series with fleshed out secondary characters, friendship, a dash of romance, recipes, and of course murder.Check out this series immediately if you haven't read it!
This is a fun series. It seemed like there was a little less Natasha this time, other than the home reno, she kind of had a back seat to things. Which isn't necessarily bad!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read more mystery. I always enjoy them when I do, but I just haven't picked many up lately. It's impressive when a series can contain this many books and stay consistent and stay fun. Maybe it's worth checking out! :)
