Angie, Mel, and Tate are back just in time for Valentine’s Day. Love is in the air but not everything is chocolate and roses. Mel’s mother’s first date in years ends with her amour floating in the pool. Can the trio solve the murder before her mother spends time in jail?

I read the first book in this series a few years ago and always wanted to read more but other shiny new series waved their sparkly covers at me and off I went. I love the trio and the banter they have with each other. The movie references are spot on.

Buttercream Bump Off was just the book I needed. I found myself laughing many times. It was a fast-paced read that kept me turning pages long into the night.

I am now craving cupcakes and want to bake every recipe included.

Triggers: Murder, Death of a parent is mentioned, Unmarried sex alluded to
