This was the first book I read in this series and I found the romance aspects overbearing. Maybe I hadn't followed the story up to now, so I didn't really care whether Sullivan was the man of her dreams or not. I like romance in a book, but this just seemed to overshadow the rest of the plot.

This is the review I gave for another book in the series, and it holds true for this one, too:

Not the best cozy series out there, but not the worst, either. It's a pretty quick read, and would be even quicker if all the unnecessary and unrelated filler material were taken out. But, I guess that's part the quirky appeal of the series.... short filler chapters that "round out" the characters of Erin Gilbert and her landlady while they discuss interior decorating subjects.

My pet peeve about these books is that the author leaves out important facts early on in the story, then just plops them in at the end and explains them with a sentence or two. (ex: Gilbert says, "I'm going down to Harlem." The author explains, "Harlem is the name given to a part if the city near downtown." --- Then, after Gilbert makes the statement about going there and the author explains where it is, Sullivan saves her by figuring out where she was going and showing up in the nick of time. Oops.... did I give away a major plot line? No, I didn't think so.)

Entertaining installment in the Domestic Bliss series. Looking forward to the next one, Holly and Homicide.
