Engaged in Trouble by Jenny B. Jones
5.0
I really enjoyed the first book in this new series! It made me laugh a lot and I can only imagine what future books will hold.
A washed up singer comes home to run a wedding business she has inherited...nothing could go wrong with that and it should be a walk in the park. That is until Paisley walks into the shop and realizes this is going to be a tough 8 weeks until she can sell the business to the guy running the shop. But barely a week into working at the business (stipulation of the will), a bride ends of dead and of course Paisley is the prime suspect. Thankfully she has her former CIA Grandmother to help her figure out who the real killer is before Paisley ends up in jail.
I have to say I think Grandma really makes the book - she is funny with her spy mentality and what she is willing to do (or has done in the past) to take care of a situation. If you don't laugh out loud at her antics...well then I don't know what to say because it is funny!
There is a bit of romance in the book between Paisley and Beau. He is a childhood friend and they shared their first kiss together. But neither wants to be in a relationship - but the chemistry is pulling them together so it will be hard to not give in to it all.
And of course there is the mystery. I did sort of figure out who was involved but not until close to the end and not really sure why. There are some clues to guide you to the character but you will have to be a super sleuth to decipher the clues.
