My first book from Stephanie and I really enjoyed. I was giggling and laughing and it was just one of those books that is fun read.
This was a fun book that find Molly and Seth working on the same team to stop the person who keeps posting things on facebook about Molly. They know who it is but catching her is the trick. Eventually it will work out in their favor and then they have to figure out where that leaves them.

Sneaking Around is a cute and funny rom-com. Molly owns The Reading Grounds bookstore and coffee shop. She’s new to Pine Valley and has a crush on hunky fireman Seth. Unknown to Molly, Seth has a crush on her too. He’s sweet and handsome and always finds himself practically speechless when around her. When the town gossip, Evelyn, begins targeting Molly on her Facebook page #RumorHasIt, she teams up with Seth to dig up dirt on Evelyn.
Super sleuths, crazy shenanigans, spunky old ladies and lots of laughs make this a must read story.
this was a quick fun read. I liked the characters and the story line.
It’s funny, sexy and so much more!
Firefighter and girl with the spark, that owns a book store? If I didn’t have have my life figured out that would be my dream come true.
Characters on the pages are so lovable and adorable that I just wanted to pack my bags and travel to Pine Valley to meet them all in person. I enjoyed going through their shenanigans so much that several times I was disappointed that I can’t join them in their sleuthing. This book gave me a lot of laugh, heart-warming feels and allow me to relax. Fantastic read!
I adored this small town romance. It’s a cute, light-hearted read that had me laughing out loud and left me full of the warm fuzzies. I can’t wait to read the next book. (4.5)
This is such a fun book to read. She owns a bookstore that she serves coffee at. An old snoopy troublemaker decides to make her life miserable and starts trouble. In the mean time a new male firefighter wants her but is super shy. He decides to get together with her and their old gray haired friends to find out some stuff on this old troublemaker. It is funny, dramatic, emotional, suspenseful and so much more. I received a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.

Sneaking Around by Stephanie St. Klaire was a charmer of a small town contemporary romance that had me laughing (and giggle-snorting) out loud. There were shenanigans galore while our main characters, Molly and Seth, fought back against the town’s elderly busybody who trash talked locals on Facebook. And you can imagine where it went from there.
‘This wasn’t just friendship, nor was it only a physical attraction. It was something they couldn’t identify any more than it was something they could tame–at the moment, neither want to anyway.’
Seth and Molly turned out to be a super sweet couple who were both a bit naive when it came to romance but who had an incredibly strong attraction that wouldn’t quit. I loved that hunky firefighter Seth was rather shy around Molly, who owned the local bookstore/coffee shop, Reading Grounds. (Cute name, right?) They were rather clueless while trying to figure out if their feelings were reciprocated and made some blunders, but it felt like something that could really happen in a relationship.
‘He was exciting and thrilling as much as he was chivalrous and sweet. Where had this man been hiding?’
The “sleuthing” that Molly and Seth did while attempting to put gossipy Evelyn in her place was hilarious. They even had some help from the local “gray-haired mafia”, aka the “bitty brigade”, which was a bunch of, ahem, mature local women who wanted to assist Seth and Molly take Evelyn down a peg or two. This would be when the shenanigans took place. And I have to say that I really enjoyed where SSK took this part of the plot and the fact that things didn’t have to end in a bad way for the three main people involved. There were even a few poignant moments between Evelyn, Seth and Molly before it was all said and done.
If you’re looking for a modern romance with a big dash of humor and a ton of characters you won’t be able to resist, Sneaking Around should be on the top of your reading list.

What a fun and relatable story!
Living in a small town with gossip thirsty relatives and neighbors, Molly’s story just made sense.
We all have an Evelyn! But the fact that she helped Molly and Seth in more ways than one, makes her a likable character. (I wish I could say that about the Evelyn’s in my life 😉
Quick, fun read. Just enough mushy-gushy romance to make my day and plenty of descriptors to make me wish my town had hot looking firemen.

The charm of small town living is that everybody knows your name. The nuisance of small town living is everyone knows your business. The beauty of Sneaking Around is that St. Klaire gives readers something to laugh about. Molly and Seth keep the citizens at attention with their tempting courting dance. There’s always something to talk about in this entertaining battle of hearts.
This is a solid fun read – fast pace and consistent. It is an engaging page turner with fantastic dialogue and a well-developed and consistent plot. The writing is fluid and flows smoothly. The humour, intrigue, the LOL moments, witty banter, and pranks make this book a compelling enjoyable read. The chemistry between the characters is sizzling hot and sweet; and the character balance each other perfectly. A really great read; highly recommended.

This was a cute, easy read about a town busy body online bullying people around town, especially their towns newest addition. Molly and Seth try to get back at her, and it’s the final push that they needed to realize their feelings.
Rumor has it is a Facebook page that the town busybody Evelyn Shirley uses as her weapon of choice.
She lamblasts Molly, the new girl in town who opened up the book shop/ coffee shop.
Molly takes her down with kindness and has help in Seth, who’s very sweet.
Set outside of Portland (Troutdale or Hoodriver or The Dalles) Pine Valley is fictional quaint town.

A fun new series that has just a little bit of mystery, a lot of humor and some romance. Some scenes in this book had me laughing out loud as I read. The two main character Seth and Molly start out with an after hours chat that takes a slightly wrong turn. Once Seth realizes what Molly is really talking about they have a great night planning to do some investigating and find out why the town busy body has decided to pick on Molly. Their night time adventures lead them to becoming a team and denying that any of this is a date until they both realize just how much they like each other. This book was definitely a fun, humorous book that was hard to put down.,

I found this to be only an ok read. It had some funny moments, although I’m surprised the entire town didn’t run Evelyn out of town! I was hooked into this story by the idea of a shy H, but maybe because I like more alpha males, I found the romance to be rather juvenile. I felt like I was reading a romance between 2 teenagers rather than 2 non virgin adults.

This was a really good fun light-hearted read. Molly owns her own coffee shop but when she is targeted by a troll on facebook who just happens to be a mean old lady who bullies everyone in town, she decides to fight back with the help of her friend Seth. This is a really good fun friends to lovers romance I just loved how sweet and shy Seth was these two were great together a super read I really enjoyed it.
Sneaking Around: Heart Warming and fun romance. I loved that Molly made him speechless every time he saw her. I loved that Molly chose St Helena ‘s to start her new life. The old girls were a hoot. I loved that Seth taught Molly things about wine and love. Stephanie did a great job of writing this story.
Loved it!!
