Welcome to Adams Grove…where the wedding cakes are sweet, but the recipe is murder.
For years, Carolanne Baxter dreamed of a life beyond Adams Grove. Being the daughter of the town drunk was no picnic, so when college offered her a chance for escape, she took it. Now Carolanne has returned home, finally ready to make amends with her father, Ben, and to celebrate the wedding of her best friends Jill and Garrett. Of course, the fact that Connor Buckham, her sexy new law partner and Garrett’s best man, happens to be the same guy the town matchmaker named as Carolanne’s perfect match…well! That’s just icing on the cake.
But Carolanne’s hopes for a fresh start are dashed when a dead body surfaces during Jill and Garrett’s wedding reception…and Ben Baxter becomes the prime suspect. The murder throws the town into uproar, threatening to destroy the tentative peace between father and daughter—and to derail the budding romance between Carolanne and Connor. Has the matchmaker’s perfect streak come to end? Or will the truth finally bring Carolanne the happy ending she’s dreamed of for so long?

5.0 out of 5 starsnew Nancy fan!
I have been at my limit for romance novels lately, they all seem to tell the exact same story. I decided to give this one a go out if the blue, hadn't even heard of Nancy Naigle. What a wonderful surprise! I finished this book in a day because I just couldn't put it down, romance mixed with mystery and murder? I'm in! So many different side stories wrapped together kept me on the edge of my seat!
Great reading
A story of love, suspense and mystery. Didn't want to put it down. Keeps you on the edge all the time. They still talk about Pearl.
