Murder on Ice: A Bristol Heights Cozy Mystery by Avry Clarke (Author)

I choose Murder on Ice: A Bristol Heights Cozy Mystery because of the Basset Hound on the cover. David would like the Basset Houd because it looks a lot like his Basset Hound Samanta. Hopefully this will entice David to read the story with me.

Sometimes, chefs’ knives turn deadly instead of creating a dish to die for.

Emma and Jax, her droopy-eared basset, expected a typical day at Caprice Bistro.
Until she discovers the hotheaded chef in the freezer—her butcher knife nearby, blood-covered!

Everyone is a suspect, even Emma, along with the angry delivery man, the dishwasher or someone else.

Clues surround them, Jax unwittingly creating some of his own.

The dismissive detective is skeptical and stubborn. She must gain his trust to prove whether it was one of her co-workers or an intruder.

Emma must unravel the clues before the killer gets off or she becomes the next victim …

A lifelong storyteller with a fondness for small towns and loyal dogs, he crafts tales filled with charm, humor, and secrets waiting to be uncovered. When he is not writing, he’s probably out in the garden or watching the sky on the deck.

Make Me Lose: a small-town enemies-to-lovers romance (Bayshore Book 1) by Ember Leigh (Author). I chose because of the pink cover of the book and white Flowers Charlie, and Suzzane would have liked. I would like to plan these Flowers in my #Garden.

Grayson and Hazel aren’t just rivals. They were destined to hate each other since the day they were born.

Grayson Daly couldn’t wait to break free of high school and prove his worth to his overly critical father, plus show his arch-rival Hazel how little he needed her. Ten years later, he’s well into earning seven figures and enjoying his status as one of New York’s most-desired bachelors. But when his beloved Grammy Ethel passes, leaving him one of her Bayshore homes, he hurries back to sell it. However, there’s only one realtor in town…

Hazel Matheson has the picture-perfect small-town life. She’s the queen realtor in Bayshore, with a Pinterest-worthy home and wardrobe to match. If she could just find the handsome powerhouse soul mate of her dreams, life would be complete. But when her rival-turned-lover-turned-enemy Grayson Daly waltzes back into town, his ego bigger than a skyscraper and needing a favor, she has a new project—making sure she doesn’t give him what he wants.

Grayson’s plan is an easy sell of the house and a speedy return to his beloved big city. Hazel’s plan is to stay the hell away from Grayson and get on with her manhunt. But the harder they fight, the brighter the sparks, until neither one can decide if surrendering to love counts as winning or losing. Maybe, just this once, they can both come out on top.

Fans of Lauren Landish and Vi Keeland will love this steamy, laugh-out-loud small-town romance!

Brass Anchor Inn (The Turner Family of Bluestar Island Book 1) by Jennifer Faye (Author)

The Brass Anchor Inn is about to host a bicentennial celebration when its grumpy new owner arrives on the island, making the inn’s sunshiny manager wonder if it will still be a festive occasion or a farewell party.

Josie Turner loves managing the Brass Anchor Inn. And so when the inn’s owner unexpectedly passes, she keeps it running until the future of the business is resolved. Real estate agent Lane Johnson has just inherited half of the inn. His goal is to sell it to the highest buyer as soon as possible.

But when he meets the beautiful yet determined general manager, he knows this is going to be far from an easy transaction—especially when he learns that Josie has inherited the other half of the inn. When the negotiations begin, lines get blurred and hearts get tangled.

Includes a recipe for Josie’s giant chocolate chip cookies!
