Mysterious Saturday Review: Buttercream Bump Off

Melanie and Angie own Fairy Tale Bakery. In gearing up for Valentine's Day, they're hosting a contest for a special night on the town. They're hoping to add some more business to the cupcake bakery.

Murder, not love is in the air for Melanie's mother. Her first date with a man leaves him dead in the hot tub and the police looking at her for as the prime suspect.

Melanie starts digging to uncover more leads. When the man's son comes into her shop causing a ruckus, Angie backs him down. The rock star takes one look at Angie and falls hard for her.

Soon Angie's dating a murder suspect. Melanie's trying to run the bakery in her absence with the help of a new customer, and Tate (their silence business partner and good friend) is struggling with his irritation at Angie's new love life.


My Thoughts: I really love this series for the small town gossip, the rival cupcake baker, and the customers coming into the bakery. The setting just adds to a small town feel where you know everyone and everyone knows your business, whether you want them to know it or not. However, the best part of the series is the relationships: the friendship between the three friends, the potential romance between two of the friends, and Melanie's love life. Not to mention drooling over the CUPCAKES. I craves cupcakes while reading this series. This novel ends with a cliff hanger ending over a very life changing decision for all three friends. I'm very curious to where the series will go next.

Cover Thoughts: LOVE it! I especially love the conversation hearts.

Ten Things: Adult Romances

I read chick-lit books and some romances, but I have to admit that one author turned me onto romances (again) and I couldn't believe I stopped reading them for a while. I think romance gets a bad name from the rest of the reading world. I know that I read romances from my own home and generally not in public. I sometimes cringe when it's a sexy cover and wonder what the library circulation staff might say. But then I shrug, because I really do want to read these books and I know that others do too.

This is the book that got me started on Regency Romances - It's by far my favorite romance genre. I picked up this book after I read Sarah MacLean's YA novel The Season and wanted more from her.

I love this series for the romance, the spies, the danger, and the time shifts between modern day and Regency England / France

Meg Cabot's a favorite, but I absolutely LOVED the idea of writing a Romance novel. And it was an adorable novel.

I read 10 Things I Love About You before I knew it was a series and then I went back to read the rest. Loved them! In the first of the series, I loved how the little girl fell in love with a handsome young man and how it all turned out.

I LOVE Debbie Macomber. I'm working my way through her novels. I LOVE this one and the Blossom Street novels the best.
Sherryl Woods is quickly becoming a favorite. I LOVE these two series. I also just purchased the two Rose Cottage books.

I loved this book - and again didn't realize it was part of a series. I have book three at home, waiting to be read. I loved the 'improper" behavior and how Theresa, a spinster, makes a list of all the things she still wants to do in life. And then does them!

I read this one right before Christmas and loved it for the sweet tale of a man who gains a daughter when his sister dies. He meets his match in a toy store. It's just a wonderful read and the cutest holiday romance.

This was the first book I've read of Susan Elizabeth Philips and I adored it! I loved the matching making scheme. And the few I've read by her, I've loved.

I loved this book. I loved how it started with Tarot cards and her life went on from there. Very fun.

I have a several in my goodreads To-Read list - but what are some that I can't miss?

Cover Reveal: Uncommon Criminals

Heist Society was one of my FAVORITE books from last year. I'm SUPER EXCITED to see the cover for the sequel out in June (sigh, such a long wait!)

Isn't this cover awesome?

I love the sunglasses - as in the first cover.
Just amazing.

Review: iDrakula

Mina doesn't know who to turn to in a time when all of her friends are disappearing from her life. Renfield has been declared insane and placed in an institution. Her unfaithful boyfriend travels to Europe on business and contracts a life threatening disease. Her best friend Lucy dies of the same disease. What's happening to her circle of friends and how can she stop the madness?

My Thoughts: A modernized version of Dracula told in forms of texts, emails, websites, and photos. It's a very quick read that is appealing because of the format.

Cover Thoughts: I really like - it draws in the reader
