Stopping at the grocery store for some carrots shouldn’t be dangerous, but in Shelby’s case, it changes her life forever. During a bank robbery, she is caught in the cross-fire and grazed by a bullet to the head, leaving her with the crazy ability to read minds. Not only is she hearing what everyone thinks about her, but the gunman who shot her is out to silence her forever. In her fight to stay alive she is saved from certain death by a handsome hitman with ties to organized crime. This pulls Shelby even deeper into danger, where knowing someone’s thoughts can not only hurt her feelings, but get her killed.

Carrots: A Shelby Nichols Adventure is in the same shelf as Stephanie Plum and Betsy Taylor in terms of comedy and hilarity. I love chic-lit plied with mystery and Colleen Helme did not disappoint! Loved it! ~Braine – Talk Supe: A Pop Fiction Book Blog

It passed the time. I won’t read it again. I found the story predictable and the characters somewhat flat. Interesting premise – how would your life be affected if you could read other’s minds? I’m sorry it didn’t engage me more.
Who knew reading minds could be so dangerous! A very different, fun, exciting read.
Fun escapism reading.
Got this as a free book and loved it. I have went back and puchased the next book in the series
It was a clever entertaining read! I really enjoyed the book.
If only she wouldn’t have stopped for those carrots ……yes, that is the premise of this book. And, what a great book it is!!!
This book was an interesting story. Not one that I expected but one very enjoyable. There are times when I wish I had the special talent she has but not the way she got it. Her family life was touchy but interesting. I would really recommend this book.
Okay. A little slow.
This is the first book in a series. It is called “Carrots” because the main character, Shelby goes to the grocery store for carrots at the lst minute and gets caught up in a robbery. It goes downhill from there as she gets shot at, stalked, and she gets a unique new personality trait.
One that we all think from time to time would be good to have …
Lots of fun! I will find more in this series.
I didn.t finish it; plot dragged; never got off the ground for me.
Enjoyable for a quick, fun read.
Really enjoyed this one. Of course, I enjoyed it so much that I find the need to read on through the series…
Fun read!
Very interesting handicap or is it a blessing for a detective.
Extremely entertaining adventure/mystery.
Shelby Nichols is a mess? That’s what happens when you run out for some stupid carrots. It’s the beginning of a wonderful series. She has so much going on in her life but bottom line, her family comes first. Her internal dialogue is hysterical at at times and only Shelby can figure it out. She’s a very strong woman, wife, mother, friend and…a …
I loved this!! The main character is her own worst enemy but she is lovable and has the best intentions. This book was fun and I will read the whole series
It was a fast read that kept you thinking
Very very funny book!
