Perhaps Sloane should have sworn off playing private detective instead of men.

—4.5 Stars—
This book is a fun, fast paced, intriguing read filled with mystery, suspense, love, and lots of humor!
Sloane is full of humor and drama – and I loved every second of it! Sloane is sweet, but very stubborn, clumsy, and tends to get herself tangled up in some pretty crazy situations!
Sloane recently vows to work on herself and stop being a doormat. But, when her ex-husbands ex-mistress, Kate, comes to her for help, she can’t help, but agree to. It isn’t long before these frenemies are down the rabbit hole and head deep in the art world. With sketchy characters and danger lurking at every corner this bored homemaker may have got herself into too much trouble this time.
Sloane is also on a bit of a guy dry spell after her Ethan (originally from book one) pulls a disappearing act and she doesn’t hear from him for six months! Just when she’s starting to get back out there guess who walks back in – Ethan! I had some mixed emotions about this relationship and wasn’t really sure I was going to be on Team Ethan or Team Felix lol! Ethan came off a bit of a flake and jerk, he did have his reasons, but no spoilers here. However, they seemed to have a lot of history from book one and I think there is still more to them to be later determined.
Not only does this book have well-developed characters; they are relatable and ones that you’d actually want to be friends with!
The storyline flows and is well written with very detailed scenes and a heavy handed drop of humor.
This book is fast paced and keeps you engaged and entertained through the last page!
Although this book is book two in the Sloane Harper Book Series, it can easily be read on its own. There are lots of overlapping characters and connections from book one, but I didn’t feel lost or confused as I hadn’t read book one beforehand.
This book ends with the set up for book three, so beware if you start this book you’ll definitely want to see what happens next in book three!
I really enjoyed reading this book and totally had a smile on most of the time I was reading it! Furthermore, this book will definitely have you laughing-out-loud so probably a good idea not to read it at a library or class or work lol!
I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in a fun, entertaining, silly, enjoyable read that is filled with lots of drama, humor, love, and mystery!

Olympian Challenge – Bored a long time ago with mythology, I overdosed as a kid, I volunteered to review this book without knowing what it was about. Hey, the author’s a good writer! Well, I read the book and enjoyed it. It was well written, suspense filled with action, emotions and interesting characters. Amy is my favorite character, she’s a hoot. 4*
A Cunning Plan – Absolutely funny! A well written, action packed novel with romance and intrigue; craziness and bad guys; fun and good guys. The characters are believable, along with their dialog; you can’t help but love em and dislike em, you’ll know what I mean. While there’s silliness, this is a substantial read and sometimes something happens you don’t expect. The well thought out plot keeps the reader glued to the pages, while ROTF with the humor. I purchased this copy, but didn’t find it in my library until after reading A Harper Christmas. 5*
A Cunning Heist #2 – Picks up six months after A Cunning Plan ends. Another well written, action packed novel filled with our favorite characters and some new ones. There’s still romance, humor, and a plot that keeps the reader glued to the book. This is a more serious book than A Cunning Plan is, but it’s just as entertaining. The dialog is realistic and the characters show growth. So far, all three of Ms. Arditi’s books do not disappoint the reader. 5*
A Harper Christmas #3 – My first book by this author and I loved it. Well written with humor all through the story, which was actually a substantial read, not a cozy. The pages flew by with happenings one after another. The plot was interesting and well thought out. The characters were developed enough to hold the reader’s attention and the dialog was realistic. The momma was a trip; good intentions. No stupid formulas, just an entertaining story that included a murder. 5*
I contacted the author to review The Cunning Heist after reading my purchased copy of A Harper Christmas. Enjoyed it so much I bought the books.
