I am linking to Friday Book Blogger Hop, Book Beginnings, a meme in which readers share the first sentence of a book they are reading, hosted by Gillion of Rose City Reader and First Line Friday hosted by Carrie of Reading is My Super Power, as well as Friday 56 hosted by Anne of My Head is Full of Books, in which readers share a random sentence or two from page 56 or 56% of the book they are reading.
Bearnie entered the room ahead of her sister,Drat, she thought as she looked around.
In this “well-paced” mystery, a chocolate shop owner is killed, and there’s quite an assortment of suspects (Publishers Weekly).
Sisters Bernie and Libby, owners of A Taste of Heaven, have plans to partner up with the Just Chocolate store for a taste-tempting Valentine's Day fundraiser featuring pairings of exotic chocolates, food, and wine, as well as a bachelor auction. And though Bernie isn’t too happy about her boyfriend volunteering to be auctioned off, she’s got too much on her plate to be jealous: one of the coolers is leaking; they need a new butter supplier, and the mother of a very good client has died.
Putting their preparations on hold, Bernie and Libby attend the funeral, only to be recruited to help solve a mystery. In an old cemetery-turned-lover’s-lane, the body of Ted Gorman has been found in someone else’s grave. The same Ted Gorman who supposedly died in a fiery car crash weeks earlier.
Ted was the owner–with his wife–of Just Chocolate. So now, as Bernie and Libby continue working with the grieving widow, they open up a mixed box of dark financial scandal, sticky family ties, bittersweet passion, and just desserts.
Includes scrumptious dessert recipes for you to try!

What is your least favorite thing about winter?
The weather ! Louisiana has crazy winter weather snow,Rain and now 80 degrees.
I'm always so slow about remembering to select books for holidays. I hope you are enjoying this Valentine's Day themed book.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love holiday themed books. And holiday recipes. So this is a winner 🏆
DeleteI always read summer " beach " books and Christmas books but never think of other holidays
ReplyDeleteA Catered Valentine's Day sounds perfect for the season. :-) And a dessert recipe! Always a plus.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've had very sporadic weather this winter. The temperatures where I live can fluctuate a lot during the season too, although snow is rare.
That's great you can read series books back to back like that! I get burnt out if a try to read too many from the same series back to back. I need to break it up sometimes.
I hope you have a great weekend!
