full of rhubarb, custard and goat jokes!

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarain, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Book 4 of seven in The Rhubarb Effect series, and they are still keeping me entertained!

This is the story of Red (a rhubarb) and Gordon (a goat) Someone keeps trying to kidnap Red and he is scared, but Gordon makes him feels safe, secure and happy. If the pair can live cocooned in Red's house, he would be a happy stalk, but it doesn't quite work out and the pair end up in the pack house.

These books are a lot, and I mean a LOT of fun! Full of rhubarb, custard and goat jokes, they are laugh out loud books and I'm thoroughly enjoying them.

They are keeping on tenterhooks too. Because we know WHO is trying to kidnap Red, but not yet WHY and it's annoying that I haven't figured it out yet!

There is steam a plenty in these books, and this is no exception. I loved that it was the ALPHA partner, Gordon, who was inexperienced, rather than the omega, Red. I loved how Red accepted the thing that goats do, when mating in his stride and Gordon was so fretting over it.

So we are 4 down, and 3 to go. I still don't know which of the pride is the sheriff's mate, unless my book brain missed it. And I really NEED to know why the old pride alpha is so intent on destroying the wonderful village that is Valentine.

4 thoroughly entertaining stars

Frankie Butts Heads with a Four-Legged Witness

Frankie Chandler’s wedding to Detective Martin Bowers is just weeks again when he is involved in an accident. His colleagues won’t tell Frankie anything about what happened, and the doctor is being vague about his condition. So, Frankie sets out to figure things out on her own. When she finds the accident site, she determines that there was a witness – a goat. Can she make sense of the visions she is getting from the goat to solve the case?

Quite obviously, there is a lot of fun to be had here, and I laughed many times as I was reading. Some of that came from Martin’s two sisters who show up in Frankie’s life. However, I found that this subplot didn’t quite develop in a satisfactory way. The mystery started out strongly and kept me engaged, but the ending was so rushed that some whys for a major part of the plot got overlooked. I did enjoy spending time with Frankie again and watching her growth. Fans of the series will enjoy this one, but it is a weaker entry in the series.
