As seen on my blog (Jessie's Reading Corner):
“I swear I was sane when I woke up this morning, but somewhere between getting out of bed and lunchtime I’d lost at least a few of my marbles.”

This is just one of many hilarious quotes that are littered throughout Out on a Limb; another hysterical addition in Josie Watt’s Scandal in Sweet Side series. Similar to Fish Out of Water, in addition to the romance, you also have the reappearance from Sweet Side’s own Golden Girls who get up to no good while everyone is trying to figure out the latest mystery in Sweet Side Bay.

This book has only been out since Friday so I don’t want to spoil it but I loved Collette and Andrew in this. I thought they were a great couple! I loved that they understood, helped and encouraged each other! As mentioned earlier, this book would not nearly be as hysterical as it was without the reappearance of Sylvia and her girl gang of misfits. We also get introduced to the hero in the next book in Josie’s Scandal in Sweet Side series, Gabriel (book titled Hit or Miss) and the sparks were flying between him and Helen! I can’t wait to read their story next on March 18th!

If you have not read this book yet and are looking for a steamy rom com/cozy mystery, what are you waiting for? You can either buy it from Amazon or read it for free in KU.

Phillip the show stealer

I thought I enjoyed the first one. Then Phillip pecked his way into my heart. This book was seriously a wild ride. I had no idea what to expect but I loved it.

I enjoyed the characters and how the stayed true to their voice throughout the story. I just liked the situations from the first book better. This was entertaining, but a little more meh.

The second book in the Scandal in Sweet Side series from Janice Whiteaker, writing as Josie Watts, gives us Collette and Andrews story, but also, what feels like a continuation on a mystery started in the first book?

Collette is neck deep in chickens, stress and longing. Longing for the sexy brooding horticulturist she’s been in lust with for years, stress from her Grandfather’s lack of care for the gardens her family owns and his philandering ways and don’t even get her started on the chickens.
Andrew’s been watching Collette for years now and has been in love with her about that long, so when the chickens and the stress start to crush Collette he’s ready to step in and help her anyway he can.

I love this cozy mystery aspects of this series, add to it the rom-com, witting banter and steamy goodness and this book is a light easy read that keeps you turning the page. I look forward to the next book “Hit or Miss”!
