Valentines Day themed wedding has Annabelle and Kate on cupid themed over-load. Ah-mazing Ah-manda seemed a little obsessive about her pre-occupation with everything from balloons to cupids wings on the flower girls to bow/arrow sets in the hands of the ring bearers.
Naturally, a murder happens before the big day – and Richard is again implicated. The wicked Marcus he fired, who left him off THE LIST of providers in the wedding industry out of revenge is the victim.
Can Annabelle and friends survive with their reputations and their businesses intact?
Hunky hot cop Reese to the rescue – and an excitement filled wedding and Valentines day!

Once more Annabelle and her gang are imbroiled in the middle of the murder of one of their collegues. It’s near Valentine’s Day and Richard has decided he needs to round up some clients after finding himself off the A-list of wedding vendors. Instead of garnering new clients, he finds himself a suspect in the murder of someone who seemingly died after eating a truffle from one of his gift boxes.
Annabelle’s gang of favorite wedding vendors start gathering clues as her boyfriend, Reece, works on the case.
I enjoyed greatly this novel about a wacky crew of wedding vendors.
Mirth, Murder and Mayhem and throw in a bridezilla, what more could you ask for in the lives of these very funny and completely endearing characters. The “who dunnit” component kept me guessing to the end.
This is the first book of this series I have read and I cannot wait to read the rest! The story was smartly written, kept my attention to the last page, had a touch of romance, and a fantastic cast of characters. Highly recommend.

Laura Durham is new to me, and I am glad to have found her books. I am WAY late to the game (starting off on book 12 in her series) but this book can be read as a stand alone. I enjoyed this book so much, I will most likely go back and read the other 11 that I have not read yet.
I loved Reese, Annabelle, and the whole ragtag bunch. This book had the right amount of humor, mystery, and subtle romance. I laughed, i was intrigued, and engrossed in the story from page 1. Loved the kookiness of all Annabelle’s friends. They made this story such an enjoyable read. The over the top humor and characters personalities made it hard to put the book down.
Written as a first person, single pov and has a HFN ending. Strong and entertaining story line. Great descriptions to details making it feel as if I was a part of the story, awesome and funny as hell dialogue, and such awesome characters that I wish I had friends like these. There would never be a dull moment that is for sure.
Would I recommend this book? Absolutely!
Would I read more from this author? Yep, going back to start with book 1 most likely.
