Review: A fun read! The mystery was a bit predictable, but still fun.

Note: I received an eARC of this title from the from the publisher for my honest review. This in no way affected my opinion in my review.Juliet Rosetti has done it again. In Tangled Thing Called Love, there’s many laughs, a fun romance, and some amateur sleuthing. Juliet Rosetti has Mazie stumbling her way through a 13 year old disappearance case, babysitting her nephews, competing in a pageant, and fending off (but not really fending off) her possibly ex-but-not-ex boyfriend, Ben, that’s come back after a short stay in LA.So the romance. Mazie and Ben are obviously in love, but like the previous books, their lack of communication is really the source of their on-again, off-again status. I love it because it calls for some funny moments, and they also have some really great, sweet moments. A few times though, it did have me rolling my eyes wanting them to act a bit more mature.The mystery itself was a bit predictable. The who did it was easy. The how, I didn’t quite guess. Regardless, Mazie still managed to get herself in some tight situations. The bad boy turned police chief with a romantic interest in Mazie also added to the fun, but I also got a bit confused with his intentions at times… Does he acknowledge Ben as Mazie’s boy friend? Does he not? Quite confusing.What I really loved about this installment, in particular, was the fact that Mazie was back in her hometown. Boy, did it add to the fun! I adored Mazie’s grandmother and her good friend Holly. They were so supportive and also the cause of some of the mayhem. My goodness though, all that pageant drama felt like immature high school drama but with a murder mystery mixed in.I highly suggest anyone that enjoys fun, funny, romantic mysteries, similar in heart to Janet Evanovich’s work, to check out Juliet Rosetti’s Tangled Thing Called Love. 4 stars overall. I definitely enjoyed this read!
