Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Abby Knight is the proud owner of her hometown flower shop, but a new low-cost competitor is killing her profits-and a grey SUV just rammed her vintage Corvette in a hit-and-run. She's determined to track down the driver, but when the trail turns deadly, the subsequent flower arrangement might be for her own funeral.

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Enjoyable
This is a fun, curl up with a cup of coffee and read book. Enjoyed it even though the main character is somewhat obvious. I will definatly get the rest of the set.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Good start to this series
After completing one year of law school, Abby Knight realizes becoming a lawyer is just not for her. Instead she decides to focus on what she is passionate about: arranging flowers. She opens up her own flower shop, Bloomers, much to her mother's chagrin. Abby's brothers are successful doctors, with country club memberships. Abby was formerly engaged to Pryce Osborne until she realized he wasn't the man she thought he was. Her mother is constantly nagging her about the choices she has made in her life and hopes she will settle down and marry soon.

Next to her shop, her orange corvette is her prized possession. As she arrives to work one morning, her vette is hit by a grey SUV and the driver doesn't stop to see if she's ok. Abby quickly decides to take matters in her own hands when the police trivializes her report. Soon, she realizes that minutes prior to her car being hit, a murder took place blocks away from the accident. Abby puts two and two together and thinks the killer smashed her car while trying to get away from the scene of the crime. Despite her employee's, Grace, warnings about meddling in the police investigation, Abby finds herself in the middle and receives threats to back off the investigation. Abby enlists the help of her roommate and employees and not to mention, gorgeous Marco to solve the crime before anyone else is killed. (3.5 Stars)



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Fun read with a real, down home gutsy heroine
I liked this book and will recommend it to friends. My copy is currently sitting in my husband's "to read" stack. We joke that I am his personal reader and that he only reads the cream of the crop because of it!

Abby is a fun heroine. She does funny things, she does dumb things. Kind of like all of us. I figured out the end part way through but it was believable and the point of the book was the characters and not necessarily the whodunit.

The author has a fairly wicked sense of humor. I loved the way she holds up each of the characters for us to laugh at and with. Abby's roomate's "voice" with her cold was hysterical. Abby's mother's "artistic" endeavors hit a little too close to home! Her assistants at Bloomers show so much promise for the future. Her anorectic sister-in-law is like way too many people I have known. Marco is my kind of guy - the type who would punch a shark to save you.

Looking forward to the subsequent book in the series - with hopes that it just gets better and better.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Good Read
I enjoyed this book for a summer read. It was not a fantastically laid out mystery that had me itching to discover the culprit, but the characters are endearing ane relateable. It took a while for me to become interested in the plot and not until 2/3rds the way through was I really turning pages. I found myself smiling as I read about the poor orange vette and the capers of our heroine. This book is light, fun and loveable. I will probably read the subsequent installment.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - good
I like this author and book. Its a light-hearted mystery. You get pulled into the characters and their lives. The mystery isn't overly complex but enough to keep you there for it and the romance. Marco or Morgan which will it be. Stay tuned.
