When Nina’s carefully lain trap for him catches his underling instead, she realizes that her only chance is to make him fall in love with her and then use him to reach Pavel.
For a recipe this convoluted, Nina is going to need the assistance of cupcake baker and misguided matchmaker, Pearl Waterman.
In the second book of the Dandelion Romantic Mystery series, Nina has to decide how far she’ll go to keep her promises, retrieve the last connection to her family, and try not to lose the only man she’s ever loved in the process.
My Rating:
4.5
Favorite Quotes:
“Pearl’s
cheeks were flushed and her eyes were glittering. Nina knew these signs. Peal was in ‘matchmaker mode.’ Experience – as well as a filing cabinet
dedicated to her at the police station – could attest that this was a dangerous
thing.”
“She’d scoured
the county for the best craftsmen, hired them, and then, much to their chagrin,
expected timely, exemplary results.”
My Review:
Book two holds
more adventure and drama than book 1, but has the same clever and smart humor. Ms. Brendan maintained her level of writing
excellence and brought back her interesting cast of oddball, idiosyncratic, small
town characters, and has also added in some romantic elements, odd and unexplainable
occurrences, and actual criminals this time.
The main characters in this installment are the younger set from the
previous book, which allows more romance and adventure, although my favorite
matchmaker, the beloved Pearl, is still a feature, and effortlessly causing
trouble, as only she can. I do believe I
am addicted.
