This is the better of her two series I have read but it’s not a stellar series.

Cookie Chanel is coming to KY to help provide vintage hats during the Derby and while here she runs into a dead man. A jockey for the Derby. Why was he killed and who did it?

I really wanted to like this one more since it takes place in Kentucky at Derby time. It fell flat. The main premise was Derby hats and that storyline was rarely mentioned! You have the weird storyline of the B and B. I get it she needed a place to stay but why was the owner so cuckoo? You have a strange love triangle which I will state maybe if I had read the books between 1 and 5 it would make sense.

This series is not one I will continue unless I have nothing else to read.

This was the perfect book to sink my toes into with the return of winter the last couple of days. The description of the sand, sun, and heat sounds absolutely perfect at this moment.

We return to the island with Irene and her grown sons. Each has an agenda of their with the same idea, to move on from Russ’s betrayal and subsequent death. Friendships have the possibility to turn into something more but does anyone have the strength to move forward.

I really enjoyed the diary entries from Rosie’s point of view. You know what she is doing morally wrong but being blinded by love can skew your feelings. In all of this Maia is the one hurt the most by the deception and deaths of both her parents.

I am deeply invested to see how this saga unfolds. Again another cliffhanger at the end that makes you automatically pick up the next book.
