CLICK TO PURCHASE! Police Detective Joel Tristan is on a complex case that leads him to elf, Dylan, a person with a shady past and he never expects to find himself attracted to this hunky elf. Dylan finds himself drawn to the cynical cop with the piercing eyes and a body that he itches to explore. When elf coins go missing and murders heat up, Dylan and Joel team up to find whomever is causing it all while trying to deal with the complexities of falling in love.

Ms. Hill’s latest Yummy Love series book is chock full of adventure, passion and characters that fairly jump off the pages. With the right touch of humor, wit and a lyrical writing style, this author delves into a world where elves, shifters and others roam. Add in a case that has stolen Elvin coins, an elf legend and some really hot sex; you got the start of some Yummy Love!

I really enjoyed this quick tale of police detective Joel Tristan and hunky Elf, Dylan. Both had much done to them in their lives yet each show a good heart. Dylan runs a shelter that helps magical creatures of all kinds. When he is missing money after a charity event for the shelter, he decides to not go to the cops but instead one comes to his door and literally handcuffs him. Joel is cynical and has a deep rooted desire to serve justice to the population of Grim. When he meets Dylan, he finds himself shocked to see someone who is honest and determined to help in any way. These two are quite the opposites but dang, if they pull you in and the reader sees sparks fly. The passion fairly sizzles between them and I was afraid the computer would blow up from it all. I really liked the dynamics of how both characters try to make their way in a relationship that has them falling in love and the ramifications around them with others. Ms. Hill delves into their world and the reader gets a sense of how Dylan and Joel connect on all levels. It was quite a delight to read, especially, as these two work together to find out how to stop the thefts of elfin coins and both never imagine that one of them would be in danger from it all as well.

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS is a fun, enthralling tale that has you rooting for Dylan and Joel and has a marvelous cast of secondary characters that keep the story flowing. With the right blend of action, passion and mystery, Ms. Hill’s BLUEBERRY MUFFINS will keep you highly entertained and eager for more. I am looking forward to checking out the rest in her Yummy Love Series and hope there is more in the future.
