SYNOPSIS:
A
hot and spicy taste of murder—and beyond.
Law enforcement consultant Gracie
Hofner is assigned to a trendy San Antonio bakery to watch for a delivery. In
addition to the intoxicating aromas of sugar and chocolate, she also has to
fight her own attraction to the man working beside her, Donovan Beck. He’s a
hunk and a half and perfect for a spring fling. If she had more time, Donovan
would rank higher on her to-do list. But the number one spot is occupied by her
search for a missing little girl, the target of a killer.
Gracie needs to find her pronto,
and the odd super-instinct quirk that’s started plaguing her may help. If not,
she can always listen if it says to buy a lottery ticket. Jalapeno Cupcake Wench is the first
book in The Amazing Gracie Trilogy,
a story so big, it takes three books to tell it.
When the
first few paragraphs of a story make you feel like you know the protagonist,
you can bet the rest of the tale is going to hold your attention until the very
end.
That’s
the case with author Carol Kilgore’s latest release, JALAPENO CUPCAKE WENCH.
The story is the first installment in Kilgore’s Amazing Gracie Trilogy. If the
tantalizing book cover isn’t enough to pull you quickly in, the first few pages
will do the trick.
The
author has created characters with faults and troubles readers can relate to.
The characters are realistic with traits you will love and/or hate. With an eye
for detail, the author places the reader in the middle of the action. She makes
you feel a part of the adventure.
The story
moves at a great pace keeping you on your toes with the twists and turns. Once
you meet Gracie, you’ll be glad there are more stories to come.
Filled
with suspense and a good dose of romance, JALAPENO CUPCAKE WENCH will stay with
you long after you turn the last page.

FTC Full Disclosure – A copy of this book was sent to me
by the author. However,
receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review. The thoughts are
completely my own and given honestly and freely.
Thanks so
much for stopping by. What is a trait a character can have that makes you feel
you know a person like that?
I am really, really looking forward to reading this one. Thanks for the reminder.

ReplyDeleteThank you! It takes a village to birth a book :)
DeleteThank you for your review, Mason. Alex was right - I am thrilled with your comments.
ReplyDeleteDuring the three years I lived with Gracie before this book was published, we became good friends. Even so, when you take your BFF to a party with your friends from another part of your life, you never know how everyone will get along. It's good to see that Gracie plays well with others :)
Every time I see Carol's cover and read her title, I chuckle. It's on my TBR list. I know it's going to be fun.
ReplyDeleteCool! Ha, ha... made ya laugh :)
DeleteNice! I just got my copy in the mail. I'm excited.
