Tracy March released her debut book, The Practice Proposal, in March. Now, the who done it may or may not be easy to guess but the reason will definitely be a surprise.I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in this series.Today, Brain Candy is hosting another fabulous contemporary romance (and romantic suspense/thrillers) writer. Constantly bumping heads, Connor and Carolanne come together in an attempt to clear Ben’s name and find out just who in fact is the murderer and why. Too many people are keeping secrets and things just aren’t the way they appear. Everything points to Ben being responsible. Adams Grove is a small town and you definitely get the small town niceness through all the characters.The mystery comes when a group of kids find a dead body behind the Artisan Center where Jill and Garrett’s wedding reception is being held. Connor is just so freaking sweet and nice it’s not even funny. At times, this is an issue between Carolanne and Connor since Connor is really fond of Ben and knows what a good person he is. She’s also harboring a lot of resentment towards her father for the way he was when she was growing up. In her mind, love isn’t worth losing yourself over, nor is it worth all the heartache that follows. As a young child, she watched her father grieve after the loss of her mother by becoming the town drunk and not being able to take care her or himself. Pearl was apparently the matchmaker of Adams Grove and her last prediction was that Carolanne and Connor were perfect for each other.Carolanne is a woman who is leary of love. Connor took care of his mother who recently past away. Carolanne returned to help her best friend Jill deal with the death of her grandmother, Pearl. Each have moved away from Adams Grove, Virginia to big cities and returned for different reasons. But I just really wanted to know how all of these great characters I was falling for were going to play into a murder investigation.Carolanne Baxter and Connor Buckham have known each other since childhood. Part of me felt bad waiting for the dead body to show up. But with that being said, I really liked this book.Wedding Cake and Big Mistakes just REALLY had me smiling.
There were times when I just felt a little lost.
It could possibly be because this is the third book in the series and I haven’t read the other two. It’s just because I couldn’t really get a feel of the book. Now, you’re asking WHY is this important. In fact, Nancy tells me it’s a contemporary romance, but she likes to call it a “small town suspense”. It doesn’t read like a cozy mystery, as least for me. Why? I think because Nancy hangs out with the mystery people. Reviewed by Kimfor Read Your Writes Book ReviewsOkay, so this was my first Nancy Naigle read.
