THE ART OF LOVE AND DANGER SERIES Book #1
REBECCA'S REVIEW
"I wasn't flirting. I was being witty and charming. I have to test, on occasion, what my heroines say, just so I know what a man's real reaction would be."
"Everything is research. Including flirting." . . . okaaay . . . crime novelist Lydia Pelton has just completed a first person case study in unsuccessfully evading arrest for . . . stealing a three legged goat from the circus??? In the middle of the night? Getting caught up in an actual crime scene and thwarting Officer Abraham Hall's chance to apprehend an honest to goodness thief? As ludicrous as it sounds . . . that about sums it up . . . her trip to jail, wearing trousers and face paint (posing as a clown, breaking out into hives, what were she and Theresa thinking, they weren't) . . . and best of all, being introduced to a classic version of officer "swoony".
The woman was insufferable . . . what a night. . . . "of course he had been accosted by a clown. He hated clowns." Lydia Pelton was trouble personified with those big brown eyes and unruly curls, the combination could drive a man to distraction. Fortunately, or in Abraham's case unfortunately, lurking beneath that attractive surface was a keen mind and a brilliant pen, yet unknown to Abraham, Lydia's stories were about to spawn a series of murders exactly as she had so carefully written them. Abraham Hall had not seen the last of Lydia Pelton.
Brilliant, just brilliant! Loaded with wit, charm, and carefully concealed criminal activity, this romantic mystery dissects the power of the pen while effectively revealing God's mercy and grace through two fumbling, bumbling humans who keep landing sided by side (or in some cases on top of each other, now that's a story all by itself! ) until "there is no need to write in secret anymore".
This new series is off to a grand beginning!
