Suddenly, instead of vacationing, Brax is offering advice to the lovelorn! And to top it off, he has to … it off, he has to start his own investigation on his sister’s behalf: Is his brother-in-law having an affair with the local erotic author?
Simone Chandler has found her haven in Goldstone; she loves the forsaken town and its lovable but somewhat beleaguered residents. With a thriving Internet business penning made-to-order erotic fantasies, some of her friends in Goldstone just happen to be her clients, too.

Enjoyed the play on characters, what you first see may be wrong!
Story was original, more of a twisted past to future story
An awesome interesting action packed book
Good fast read
it amazes me how far somone will go to keep a secret that really not important anyway story moved at a good pace didn’t see some of the things that happen. However, love and falling in love was apart of this book. Must read !!!
Didn’t want this story to end. Loved the characters! Can’t wait to read more from this author.
Love this book.
This is a fun read.
Having an author who can write a decent story that gives you reasons to continue with the book or series is nice. The way that Ms Skully involved the many characters of the small town Goldstone, offered hints to as who the killer might be. It also allowed her to explore the romance between Brax and Simone in a subtle matter. I’ll take a suspenseful romance novel over most the contemporary romances I see out there nowadays.
Not sure why but She’s Gotta Be Mine and Fool’s Gold are very slow moving. I felt some of the dialogue prattled on and on. In romantic suspense stories I want more than what I got in this story. I knew something was going to happen but it just takes to long to get there. In my opinion Jennifer Skully did a really good job of hiding the murderer.
This romantic suspense did not disappoint. Plot kept me guessing until the very end, and I guessed wrong! Became more difficult to take a reading break as I neared the finish because I wanted my questions answered.
Fool’s Gold by Jennifer Skully is an entertaining contemporary romance. Ms. Skully has delivered a well-written book loaded with outstanding characters. Tyler is the sheriff of Cottonmouth and is called away to where his sister lives in Goldstone, using his vacation time to help put his sister’s marriage back on track. Simone loves Goldstone and it’s people. She writes erotic stories for clients through the internet. Tyler and Simone’s story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle and suspense. I enjoyed reading Fool’s Gold and look forward to reading more from Jennifer Skully in the future. Fool’s Gold is book 2 of the Cottonmouth Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete story, not a cliff-hanger.
Enjoyable
Brax goes to help his big sister figure out what is happening with her husband and ends up habit to solve his death. But he finds love along the way.
Good story/mystery. Kind of figured out who done it but not why. Fun.
Great read
A very unique cozy mystery with an unusual romance.
Interesting story development. A nice, easy enjoyable read.
Didn’t care for it.
I just couldn’t get into this book. It was okay but I skimmed most of the book to get to the finish.
I thought even with the happily ever after it was sad also.
