I enjoyed this cozy mystery! This book is the true definition of a cozy mystery. It’s not intense but at the same time it’s plenty mysterious. Is it predictable? Sure it is, but I’ve yet to read a cozy mystery that isn’t. I enjoyed the fact there are recipes included with the book - but they’re at the end and not scattered throughout the story. There ended up being more than one case that tied together at the end and it was a nice sweet story about family, love, friendship and of course - murder.

The more I think on this one, the more my head hurts. If you want a book with an ending you won’t predict, this one is for you.

Romantic suspense - I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into with that combination but I must say I am definitely a fan! This book had all the steam of a romance but it was a mystery/thriller/crime drama as well!

Jade is a woman on a mission. Her mission is to ruin Quinn Sullivan. She doesn’t know why, or even who wants him ruined, but she’s being paid well to do it. Get close to him and then go in for the (figurative) kill. There’s just one problem. Quinn has made her feel - and she isn’t used to feeling. 

Quinn is a young billionaire. He’s spent his life working to be the best he can be since his deceased brother was unable to have any life at all. Work is his life. Then one day, a chance encounter with Jade changes everything. 

There are so many amazing parts to this book! It’s a heavier read, and it took me longer than I thought it would. It was amazing don’t get me wrong but the raw emotion was a bit much for me to read all in one sitting. I’d definitely recommend this one!
