The main character was pretty believable, as was her BFF. But the rest just didn't work. We have a high society girl who acts like a bashful country girl out of a 1950s school book -- who even refers to the fact she might have been raped as "any action down there." Uh, right. This girl, for no reason ever given in the book, is suddenly living in a small town and is getting married to a local mechanic with whom she has nothing in common, but which romance is touted as sigh-worthy. Sure. No problem. *eye roll*Also, the writing style is like a proof reading exercise in finding misplaced modifiers.That being said, I did manage to finish the book, which I don't do with really bad books. What this book needs is to be something other than an early draft. The plot idea was actually quite interesting, even if the actual villain was as unbelievable as the bride and a few others.If you like cozies and want a bit of fluff, this is OK, but I've read better. Second in the SeriesISBN-10: 0425233898ISBN-13: 978-0425233894In the second book of the series, Brenna is starting to feel more at home in Morse Point and she is starting to hear more of the local gossip. She has never found gossip appealing but in this town it's best to know who's doing what with who or what's happening to someone well before you end up in the middle of the gossip yourself.The latest gossip is that wealthy Tara Montgomery is engaged to Jake Haywood, the local mechanic. Tara's mother doesn't think the marriage will last but goes all out in the planning of the big event. She even hires Brenna to make decoupage wedding favors. By agreeing to create these trinkets Brenna becomes more wrapped up in the Montgomery's lives that she ever expected. She ends up going to the bridesmaid's party and tells Tara she will pick her up the next morning to go to the store to design the special souvenir for her special day.Let's just say what Brenna finds the next morning is pretty earth shattering and she finds herself yet again trying to clear someone of murder before their lives are ripped to shreds. I liked this one very much too and again I wanted more! Luckily my advance copy of Book 3 in this series arrived just in time.
