This book burns hot (pun intended!)

Not your typical billionaire/poor girl romance, this story has history and pain and suspense and sadness, rolled up in between plenty of smexy. Jackson, your standard rich playboy meets a beautiful redhead and falls hard, but he's so stupid he doesn't realize it LOL. Ginny lives with her Foster Brother, works multiple jobs and has a ton of baggage, a lot of it from said Foster Brother. They meet and the sparks fly. There's so many twists and turns in this book, you'd think it would make it convoluted, but D.L. does an amazing job of bringing the reader through the story, full of amazingly deep characters, and after breaking my heart 1800 times, ends on very hard earned HEA. I'm SO looking forward to reading the next book, and the extra chapter and Scott and Sadies story!!

This is Alexander C. Kane without the over the top super hero personas. The characters are great, the humor is fantastic. Aided by Kristen Sieh's excellent performance.

Storyline and Characters - 5 stars
Writing and delivery - 3 stars

I love these characters and the plot so much!! The sweetness is on overload, and I wouldn't change it. No angst, just two men falling in love with a little light control and a whole lot of lingerie in the mix. sighs happily
On the downside, the writing was somewhat awkward and stilted in places, but really my biggest issue was all the telling and not showing. I want to experience the moment, not be told what's happening.
All in all though, I'm happy leaving the four star rating and will definitely be reading the rest of this series.

Could Mrs. Stevens have possibly murdered Abigail Winterton for blocking her attempts to take control of charitable affairs in the village?

I wouldn't call this book particularly memorable, but it was definitely a lot of fun. I liked how mundane a lot of the story was despite having a vampire for a MC. The inclusion of the supernatural did play a part in this cozy mystery, but the focus was on the small town community with all of its private secrets, public smiles, charity events, and so much bickering. It was a fun community to follow, and I liked how the murder wasn't the only mystery for the MC to solve. The entire investigating was pretty exciting, with enough twists to keep things unpredictable yet plausible.

I'm kind of intrigue what gruesome-yet-cozy crimes will happen in this town next, and how Simon and Giles's relationship will develop, so may as well pick up the next book at some point.

One thing that annoyed me at times was the prose; it wasn't exactly unclear, but just... needlessly complicated? It's like the author tried so hard to make everyone but the MC sound British, except I'm not sure British = "using the longest possible words in place of shorter ones."
