Left you wondering until the resolution at the end.
This was really a fantasy. The plot wasn’t very realistic for the mother of a newborn. As least none that I have ever known. That was pretty hatd to swallow. Given a different back drop. It would have been pretty good.
Great summer at the beach kinda read.
This was a cute, contemporary story with a great heroine, a new mother who takes her baby on the prowl while solving a mystery. Lots of laughs and fun characters. A big plus is the satisfying ending which is so often lacking in ebooks.
This book is something light that you can put down if you have to. It was enjoyable but I probably won’t continue with the series.
Just not my kind of book.
Didn’t read after first fifty pages.
Bundle of Trouble was good.
Really enjoyed-Would recommend to others!!!
Page turning and light enough to entertain.
Good story; entertaining
A great book.
Not my mind of book. I couldn’t get into it
I love anything with cat’s involved.
A quick read that was fun.
A fun cozy mystery. Really enjoyed it.
Although this book was written in today’s world it could have been written 27 years ago while I was still nursing my son! the action packed book deals with the life of a working mother that makes the decision to breastfeed her child. The author adds a since of humor that had my husband asking me “What is so funny ?”
This was a great start for a new series, I’m looking forward to reading the others in the series. This had to have been written by a Mom, can’t imagine anyone else knowing that “roller coaster” of emotions new Moms have, including the need to protect the whole family. With more training she will be a great P.I. as well as a great Mom, which is …
Kind of predictable but easy read.
An unpredictable murder mystery that is fun to read and family friendly. I little wordy but a good read.
