Share it Please
Genre: LDS Fiction/ Chick-Lit/ Mystery

Author: She has 10 published novels, 3 children, is a freelance editor, and has a degree in elementary education.

Synopsis: Connor O'Brian wants to end his relationship with his fiance but before he is able to she is killed in a car accident. After several break-ins to his home something is discovered that was left by his fiance but no one knows what it is. Liz Saxton, a P.I. and one of Connor's dear friends offers to help Connor solve this mystery. The two of them find themselves traveling all over the world in search of the evidence they need and hope they get it to the proper authorities before a bullet finds them.

Review: Really, I am not a fan of chick-lit, especially LDS Chick-lit. It's normally the same plot line. However, this one was different -- it still had it's fair amount of "cheese" but what chick-lit doesn't? I loved Liz's character. She wasn't wimpy and needy like most female protagonists tend to be. She was resourceful, independent, and knew what she was doing. I loved that! Connor was fun too. He was real and the author allowed the reader to see weaknesses in both of the main characters so they weren't these unrealistic people. It was great and completely clean! :) If anyone is in the mood for a quick, clean chick-lit with a bit of suspense then this is the one. Now, it is LDS but the only thing in it that is LDS is that the main characters are LDS. There are only a few references to it so if you're not LDS the book will still be enjoyable.  

Rating: *** Four Stars
