Remember what I said here, about judging a book by its cover? Please don't do that like I did with this series! This last book rounded out the series beautifully, tying up all the loose ends, and will leave you with happy tears in the end!
When someone tries to push Jo Tulip in front of a New York
train, her ex-fiancé, Bradford, suffers an injury while saving her—and the
unintentional sleuth is thrown onto the tracks of a very personal mystery. Jo's boyfriend, Danny Watkins, is away in
Paris, so she begins a solo investigation of her near-murder. What secret was
Bradford about to share before he took the fall? And when Jo uncovers clues
tied to Europe, can she and Danny work together in time to save her life? (photo and description at amazon)
Now on to a completely different time period!
Happy Reading!

Ok, so maybe I lied. You know that bit about "You can't judge a book by it's cover"? I think that is what I did with this series. Even though I read the first book on my paperwhite, the cover looked silly to me. It looked like cheap, shallow chic lit. And while the first book may not have been the best, I decided to go ahead with the second.
This one they did have at the library, so I had an actual book for this one. Yet, as you can see able, this cover still looks cheesy. I was, however, curious to see how the story would continue to play out. So I started reading it, and by about the 4th time I picked it up to read some more I was hooked. In fact, Sunday night I was literally up until nearly 2 AM finishing it.
Blind dates give everyone the
shivers...with or without a murder attached to them. Jo Tulip is a sassy single
woman full of household hints and handy advice for every situation. Her first
romantic outing in months is a blind date—okay, the Hall of Fame of Awful Blind
Dates—but things go from bad to worse when the date drops dead and Jo finds
herself smack in the middle of a murder investigation. With the help of
her best friend, Danny, and faith in God, Jo attempts to solve one exciting
mystery while facing another: Why is love always so complicated? (picture and description from amazon)
The next book, the last one in the series, is supposed to be the best yet, so now I can't wait to start it!
Happy Reading!

Tulip is definitely a smart chick, a twenty-first century female MacGyver who
writes a helpful hints column and solves mysteries in her spare time. Her best
friend, Danny, is a talented photographer who longs to succeed in his
career...perhaps a cover photo on National Geographic? When
Jo's next-door neighbor is accused of murder, Jo realizes the police have the
wrong suspect. As she and Danny analyze clues, follow up on leads, and fall in
and out of trouble, she recovers from a broken heart and he discovers that he
has feelings for her. Will Danny have the courage to reveal them, or will he
continue to hide them behind a façade of friendship? (picture and description from amazon)
It was ok, nothing to write home about. I have the next one in the series, but I also have another new book I'm itching to get into. Wonder which one with win?
Happy Reading!
