The Ex Factor (Harlequin Blaze) Review

The Ex Factor (Harlequin Blaze)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I loved all of the characters in this book. I didn't think I'd enjoy the "wedding planner" theme but it led to a lot of funny meetings between Karen (the wedding planner) and her ex-husband Dexter Crane (best man).
The chemistry between these two is off the charts but the secondary love story was just as good. Laurel, the ethereal cake designer and Ron, the boring accountant, ended up being the most poignant part of the book. They were complete opposites but so perfect for each other. Ron wooes Laurel by lending her his favorite mystery novels complete with his letter grade in the back. She finds it interesting that he never gives anything an A+.
Later, Ron tells her "You are the A+ I never thought I'd find."
That's the part that earned this book a place on my keeper shelf. Enjoy!

Falling For Gracie Review

Falling For Gracie

(More customer reviews)
Gracie Landon has spent the last 14 years trying to live down her infamous past. Sent away at the age of 14 because her obsessive love for Riely Whitefield resulted in all kinds of havoc, Gracie has been asked by her mother and sisters to return home to plan her sister Vivian's wedding. It turns out that the reason they appeared to invite her is for one of her famous wedding cake creations at no charge. Gracie, now living in LA is the wedding cake maker to the stars; the Vera Wang of the cake set. When her sister Alexis asks her to help spy on her husband because she suspects he's unfaithful, Gracie reluctantly agrees, particularly since it entails spying on the house of Riley. Zeke is Riley's mayoral campaign manager. Riley has a vengeful uncle who makes his winning the election a condition of his inheritance of $97 million. His plans are to win but not serve. When they literally bump into each other, she confesses to Riley why she's there, and he agrees to help her solve the mystery to ensure hsi chances for winning are not curtailed. Soon he wonders why he resisted her all the years ago. As Riley's popularity in the poles increase (thanks to a suggestive picture and a reprinting of "The Gracie Chronicles," highlighting her past transgressions), he and Gracie continue to investigate. But the current mayor will do anything to get reelected, and he and his mistress (who has link to both Riley and Gracie) try to embarrass Riley and Gracie at every turn. But when her livelihood is threatened, Gracie is out for blood.
The story is refreshing and more than a mystery/romance. The family dynamics of the Landon women could be a book in and of itself, and the nosy townspeople would make anyone happy to live an anonymous life in a big city. While the bad guys are no mystery, getting there is so much fun!
