Our Town Book Reviews: sweet romance

Trouble on Main Street

Sugar Mountain Book 1

A cozy mountain town, a sweet romance, and a secret society of sneaky women…

The sleepy hamlet of Sugar Mountain harbors a secret society of women. Don’t misunderstand—the society itself is not secret—it’s the true nature of the group that is hush-hush.

Sugar Mountain is the kind of charming village that tourists adore. If you like small-town charm, quirky shops, and local art, this is the place for you. But when a blood smeared package shows up at the post office and it appears to be linked to a scheme that threatens Heidi Collinsworth’s historic home, the town takes on a sinister vibe. Heidi would lay odds that slimy Mayor Winslow is involved, but even with the enquiring skills of The Sugar Mountain Ladies Historical Society at work, proof is scarce.

The new guy in town, Adam Williams, is determined not to get involved in Sugar Mountain’s business. His last job in a big city planning office ruined his life, but Heidi needs his help. No matter how hard he tries to stay detached, Adam finds himself eyeball deep in Heidi’s problems, as well as the needs of her teenage son and a homeless dog.

With conflicting theories abound and tensions running high, it’s up to the ladies of the society to don disguises and go undercover. If they’re not careful, the town may fall to a wrecking ball, Heidi may fall for Adam, and the secret society will be exposed.

Meet the cast of colorful characters in this charming and zany introduction to a whole new series of romantic, cozy mysteries!

My Review...

I grew up in one of these small towns. You know...the kind where everyone knows everyone’s business. Well that’s true in this town in NC too. Except for a secret society. Maybe there was one in my little town. Who knows?

This is an enjoyable read. Just as fun as can be. It’s clean with a little corruption and a very teensy bit of “maybe they’ll get together”. It moved fast. Had enjoyable characters and a little humor.

This is Book 1 in a series titled “Sugar Mountain”. Hope we see Book 2 soon.
