When I heard that Misty Evans, author of the Witches Anonymous series that I adore, had a new contemporary romance/mystery out I had knew I had to give it a try even though mysteries and contemporary romance aren't really two of my favorite genres.  I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this novella. The first half of the book was all about the romance of Kate and Nick and about Kate trying to make amends with him and the people she left behind all those years ago. The second half of the book was about the mystery. Who could have killed Kate's father? When she is named as a suspect, the press descends on Secret and cause havoc everywhereIt turns out that Kate's father had a lot of enemies. However, Kate has bigger problems of her own-Nicks mother. who just happens to really, really dislike her and goes out of her way to make her relationship with Nick as unbearable as she can. Evil mothers aside, Nick and Kate discover that they really do have feelings for them and work hard to make everything work out.  However, it's hard to do as they work to clear Kate's name of murder. It doesn't help that Kate's ex Hollywood boyfriend and Nicks ex wife try their best to worm their way back into their lives.The secondary cast of characters just as great as Kate and Nick are. There is Bling, Secret's sheriff Gabby Kate's assistant, Nicks son, who is just a cutie pie, and Nicks mother who is just fun not to like. This was a fast read-I read it one afternoon, and I hope that there are more culinary mysteries to come. Oh, I almost forgot-there are recipes at the end of the book from the foods that Kate mentions on her show that I can't wait to ruin trying to bake them. :)
