These Violent Delights

It just wasn't for me.  I didn't like the romance, the characters and I wanted more history and heat.

This book started out really hot for me and then somewhere along the way, maybe halfway through, it fell flat.  The writing got slow and odd, the characters got annoying and I took the rest of the series off my to read list.  Maybe this was the author's first go at it, but I am not sure I am going to give the rest of the series a read.

Cute, cozy mystery.  Likeable characters.  Realistic romance.  The mystery part was a bit confusing, but I figured it out towards the end.  Would have liked it to be a bit less predictable, but I still enjoyed this read.
