On the other hand, Too Hot for Comfort by Kay David is really engaging, with realistic characters. Average the rating for both books, and you've got a three-heart rating. Bachelor by Design features a matchmaker, a former fortune-teller, who reads coffee grounds and then predicts people's compatibility from that reading. Immediately I found that scenario, that hook just a tad too trendy, too cutesy, sort of Astrology by Starbucks. The story opens as Chloe D'Onofrio, visits her mom in prison.
Mom is in for money laundering, and is up for parole.
Chloe explains to Mom why working for Uncle Leo, the money-launderer, is a bad idea when she gets out on parole. Mom, a seeming bubble brain, liked working for Leo. But he let me set my own hours. He had a wonderful dental plan. It seems that Chloe is the only honest person in her family.
