THREE-1/2 HEARTS
Deveraux Sinclair is still in the midst of decision whether Jake
or Noah will be the man in her life. Neither
man is making that decision each by being around to court her. Jake is busy with his ex-wife, Meg, and her
emotional trauma and Noah’s mother suddenly falls ill with a strange malady
that seems to only crop up when he’s about to see Dev. Complicating things is there have been UFO
sightings in the area. And then there is the matter of a city council meeting
where Noah is pretty insistent Dev attend.
Dev gets a surprise at the meeting…one of the last things she could ever
expect.
But it’s not like Dev hasn’t had shocks or rude surprises in her
life. On the heels of her father being
arrested for a crime he didn’t commit her mother took off to parts unknown and
left Dev with her grandmother. And in a
strange twist, not only is her other back in time, but her most recent husband
is found dead next to Dev’s father. Is
the killer humane or has ET landed?
In BETWEEN A BOOK AND A HARD PLACE Denise Swanson moves a little
bit further into the cozy realm although the love triangle persists and it
starts to look like there might be a third guy trying to win her heart. In this
latest entry she skirts into the world of Sci Fi and does a nice job of
blending it into the mystery. Swanson
does, though, include a few elements that just wouldn’t happen in real life and
I just couldn’t suspend disbelief. There
is no way a former law office professional would help someone cover up a crime…even
if she was the love of his life. It helps the author get to where she wants to
go with the story, but I just couldn’t buy it.
I didn’t see who done it and it was a good twist at the end.
This is an objective review and not an endorsement of
this book.
