I really enjoyed this book and found myself caught up in not just the murder mystery, but also in the relationship that was growing between Allie and Sam. Although there wasn’t a lot of steamy scenes between Allie & Sam, the tension between the two that was caused by not only the history between them but also the murder mystery they found themselves wrapped up in made the wait worthwhile.Allie’s family added an interesting dynamic to the story as well. They were an interesting bunch to say the least – right down to the four different types of Jell-O molds they served at family gatherings! I absolutely loved Allie’s eighty two year old grandmother Molly, she cracked me up every time she opened her mouth…especially when she spotted Sam for the first time…“Now that’s something I’d like to tap,” the copper-haired eighty-two year old seated at her right murmured with a leer…”What?”…”Hey, I’m old, not dead, and he’s got a booty I haven’t seen the likes of since Herbert Volkman took me ballroom dancing back in ’94…”It was fun watching Sam’s protective alpha side come out when Allie finds herself threatened, and then watching the tension escalate between the two of them as they both try to deny and resist the attraction simmering between them.All in all, this was a good read that was heavier on the suspense than on the romance, but thoroughly enjoyable.I received a copy of this book from the publisher for an honest review.
