Jenna Hart has returned home to Crystal Cove, California to help her aunt open a new cookbook bookstore. But their big guest for the grand opening - Food Network Star and Jenna's college roommate Desiree - is murdered before the store even opens. With local gossip making Jenna a suspect, can she prove her innocence?

This has many of the traits of a first in a series, but it is filled with warm characters and a sense of fun I enjoyed. I'm looking forward to many return trips. I did have a few niggles with the book - one weak character and a couple of timing issues - but they were minor overall.

Maggie Jackson is hiding out in Rosetown trying to lay low before having to testify in a trial against her ex-boyfriend. Jake Jones is the owner of a local river rafting company and is trying to get on with life after the mysterious disappearance of his wife, but the town is keeping him at the center of its gossip.

The two meet and at first miscommunication and past betrayals keep them apart, but they soon find themselves working together as danger lurks around them. Can they develop trust, overcome hurt and betrayal, and find romance while facing issues from their past?

The author weaves a tale of romance and suspense that has you hoping for a happy ending.
