Summary

The best of intentions shouldn't include murder.

An HR specialist and trauma counselor, Stacie is on the board of a fledgling non-profit foundation set up to benefit victims of domestic violence. After a slashed tire, attempted break in, and a murder, Stacie isn’t buying coincidental bad karma. Someone wants her off the board - at any cost. Her fancy surveillance equipment, impressive alarm system, and a ferocious Maltese dog offer only so much protection. That may not be enough when politics are involved. Enter Kevin McNair, a smooth talker with piercing blue eyes. Can she trust him with her heart or her life?

Really enjoyed it - nice and easy book

This was entertaining and I am starting to really engage with the series as this is my second. Again I learnt a lot regarding how foundations work plus gambling addictions, not forgetting the love life.

The narration fully suited the story.


I was given a free copy by the author but this in no way influenced my decision.

Funny business

I enjoyed this book. This is the second book in the series and is just as good and captivating as the first book. There is so much going on in this story that the blurb just doesn't do it justice. There are a lot of characters, many of whom we have already met if you have read or listened to the first book, but you don't need to have to enjoy this book. The author weaves background information nicely into the story, as well as fleshing out the characters, making them likeable and human. I liked the fact that the main character didn't come across as a hopeless female but was capable, despite still needing help from her over protective friends. The mystery was interesting and took lots of twists and I look forward to the next book.
Stacie is called to an emergency meeting for the non-profit foundation her deceased husband set up for women of domestic violence. It seems The board has to many members and after a mix up with email address nobody knows who should actually be on the committee or even who is in charge. Before the meeting can get under way the man who called the meeting is attacked. Then Stacie herself is shot at, her tires slashed and a tracker placed on her car. The press also seem to be doing there best to cause trouble for the foundation by interviewing some of the members, including a sports star and two opposing politicians. Can Stacie, her friends and the police get to the bottom of what is going on before somebody else gets hurt? Her love life despite all her friends attempts at getting her back out on the scene might just have to be put on the back burner, especially when she doesn't know who to trust.
I like the narrator, she has a special way of bringing the story and characters to life.

Super cosy mystery

Loved it, a great story full of suspicious happenings and accidents,, intrigue and double dealing, dodgy characters and murder. Stacie is on the board of a new non profit organisation set up to help victims of spousal abuse, when she arrives for an emergency meeting a body is discovered. I loved the story, the main characters, the dodgy politicians and the pets. Great characters, intelligent and involving mystery with a suitable convoluted ending. The narration is excellent well performed and easy to listen to. I devoured it in one session and am looking forward to the next one. I received a complimentary copy from the Author and am leaving a honest voluntary review

Murder

The narration of Naomi Rose-Mock, is just perfect for this wonderful story

This is entertainment, full of intrigue and double dealing, dodgy characters and murder. Stacie is on the board of a new non profit organisation set up to help victims of spousal abuse, when she arrives for an emergency meeting a body is discovered

Strange things start happening to her and other board members, and soon people start dropping dead. Because she’s inquisitive by nature, and wants to help people, she starts digging around to protect the foundation and find out who is killing board members.

Loved..

Interesting.

An interesting book with a good mystery, a clever dog, and even some romance. Naomi Rose-Mock’s narration is flawless.

A review copy of this book was sent to me by the author. All of the above opinions are my own.
