The Final Arrangement
The Vulture is dead.
The body of Quincy McKay’s nemesis and biggest competitor in the floral business has just been discovered in a casket at the mortuary, complete with flowers on the lid.
Derrick Gibbons, aka The Vulture, stole all of Quincy’s funeral business, … Vulture, stole all of Quincy’s funeral business, and now she’s on a mission to get it back. But there’s a problem–Quincy is now the main suspect in The Vulture’s murder.
Armed with only her Zombie delivery van, good intentions, and the business card of a handsome cop named Alex, she must find the killer, save the flower shop, and keep from ending up in the next casket. If she can dodge burning bushes, the plague of a polygamist ex, and her mother’s Mormon Mafia Spy Network, her life with Alex and her shop could become the perfect arrangement.
Deadly Arrangements
All florist Quincy McKay wants is success in business, a happy family and the perfect romance with Alex Cooper, the hottest cop in the state. Not necessarily in that order, of course. Is that so much to ask?
The trouble is, between Alex’s job and planning weddings, it’s getting harder and harder for Quincy and Alex to find any time to themselves. Every time the flames of passion ignite between them, someone or something shows up to fizzle the fire, including her meddling mother, her formerly absent father and even Elma, the handsiest waitress in the West.
Wedded bliss is contagious in small town Hillside. Should be great news for Quincy, except that one groom is missing and another is the prime suspect. Hard for a florist to make a living that way, and even harder for her to stay out of the investigation, especially when the suspect is her sidekick, K.C.’s fiancé.
Just when she thinks nothing else could go wrong, a ghost from Alex’s past comes back to haunt them both, which could keep them apart forever, if someone doesn’t kill Quincy first. She’s stumbled into the clues to solve the case of the missing groom and finds a corpse as well, proving that planning a wedding can literally be murder.
A Christmas Arrangement
It’s Christmastime in Hillside, but there’s a lack of holiday spirit for flower shop owner Quincy McKay. She’s in charge of the town festival and her shop’s open house, but her Santa’s a no-show and her flower cooler is on the fritz. To make matters worse, she’s learned her ex-husband isn’t as ex as she’d thought. Just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse, her boyfriend, hot cop Alex Cooper announces his parents are coming to town.
Alex Cooper is the perfect man in Quincy’s book, but unfortunately his mother thinks so too. And no woman is perfect enough for her perfect son, but especially not the weird flower shop girl who works too much, can’t cook and who she catches kissing another man in the department store. And what’s this she hears about Quincy being married? Eleanor Cooper must help her son dodge a bullet (and not the kind from his job) during the romantic holiday season to prevent him from being ensnared in a regrettable relationship.
Quincy’s dignity (of which lately she’s in short supply), her reputation, and every business in town are riding upon the success of the city’s Christmas celebration. If she can figure out a way to make it work despite failing equipment, helpers dropping out of the picture as fast as snowflakes in a blizzard, a troubling and inappropriate Secret Santa, and the possibility of arrest, she might win the respect of everyone in the town, but more importantly, Alex’s parents.
If Alex can survive his loving but meddling mother until Christmas, and keep Quincy safe from her crazy ex-husband, with a little help from the MLM (Mormon Ladies Mafia), and K.C. the she-Santa, he’ll arrange for the perfect holiday for himself and the woman who has captured his heart.

I love these books. Funny keep you on your toes. Wish there was more books.
Not all were as good as the first one. Okay
loved the characters – very original. Stories had enough twist and turns to hold your interest
Quick easy read. Enjoyed as I would others in this genre. Write some more!!!
Definitely enjoyed these books!! So much so that I purchased additional. Annie Adams has me hooked!!
Just breeze right through this series. Great characters and wonderful escapades of the heroine.
Quincy owns a flower shop and between learning the interesting ins and outs of the business she tries to keep herself or friends from being arrested for murder or a victim of murder in a series of three books. Of course the handsomest most t understanding officer of the law falls in love with her & she with him but all is not roses. Between sexy romance, a bad history with ex hubby and a very religious mom anxiety reigns. There are laughs, groans and mostly a good time. Nice light read.
Fantastic set of books. These stories keep you totally entertained. They are funny, romantic, suspenseful and keep you reading late into the night. The characters are wonderful. Can’t wait to see what happens next……
My taste runs the gamut from Jane Austen to Phillip K. Dick and what I’m reading largely depends on the mood of the moment.
The Arrangements: Collection by Annie Adams is just plain, old fashioned, good fun. I love books that give me a taste of a world I may think I know in a way that leaves me wanting to take the characters out for drinks after. Quincy, K.C., Alex, and all the wonderfully wacky people in their lives do all of that and more.
How often does one get to try and thwart the head of the MLM (Mormon Ladies Mafia) who just happens to be your mother, while tracking down a killer in order to clear your own name, and making out with a handsome detective. . . and that’s just one book!
Loved reading these books! Great characters! I didn’t want to quit reading they were so good. Good clean fun!
I did like the ability to read 3 books by the author in close succession
Love this series.
Nice trio of books. All were easy to read, fleshed out characters, and actual mystery to think about. Would read more from same author.
Easy going cozy mystery. Will read more in this series.
Funny with a little romance, funny family situations
Quirky and cute. I enjoyed the series.
I loved this collection of books – wish there were more to follow. I know there is one more short one – but she should continue the series. A lot of laughs, mystery – just enjoyable.
It’s been a few months since I read the series, but I did enjoy the books.
I loved the characters, the storyline, and the fact that you had no idea who was guilty until the end. I love this author’s work!
Great fun to read with some mystery. The characters are just so lovable that it’s hard to put the books down.
