Who wouldn't love a heroine who works in her mother in laws adult store? Jane West is a widow with two little boys living in a small town in Montana. On Saturdays her and her kids like to go to yard sales. The kids pick up a couple of garden gnomes. Someone keeps trying to steal them, and Jane discovers one of the gnomes contains a little something extra inside. This aspect was the good part of the book (along with some smiles from working at the adult store aspect). If only the book had stuck to being a mystery. Enter the red hot fireman, Ty. He sets Janes blood on fire. That part of the story...ehhh. Couldn't really call it a romance. So, if it had stuck with being a mystery I would have rated it higher, but the introduction of the unnecessary Ty, and the way he keeps rescuing her through the fire department made me subtract. Just a cute story, nothing you will remember after you read another book. I am afraid the rest of the Gnome series can remain in the garden.
