Sunshine Vicram Series
If you have not picked up this series yet, then I demand that you GET YOUR COPIES NOW! Now people!! Not joking, don’t even bother reading my review raving about them…Just get them, binge them, and then attempt to wait patiently for book three to come out later this year like I am. Pfft! Who am I kidding with patient! I need more of these snarky characters and their adventures and mysteries! Oh, and they have the best humorous and witty dialogue along with some seriously excellent laugh out loud moments.
Trust me when I say that you are going to LOVE everything about these books! The characters are so fun and will tug on your heartstrings. The stories are fast-paced, entertaining and take you on an excellent thrill ride that you won’t want to see end. Oh, and the romance…STEAMY! I’m not exaggerating when I say I read both books back-to-back in two days and put everything in my life on the back burner, because I could not put these books down! Hands down, this series is now one of my favorites that I will always recommend.
Thank you, St. Martin’s Press, for these gifted copies in exchange for my honest review.
Synopsis for A Bad Day for Sunshine: Sheriff Sunshine Vicram finds her cup o' joe more than half full when the small village of Del Sol, New Mexico, becomes the center of national attention for a kidnapper on the loose.
Del Sol, New Mexico is known for three things: its fry-an-egg-on-the-cement summers, strong cups of coffee - and, now, a nationwide manhunt? Del Sol native Sunshine Vicram has returned to town as the elected sheriff - thanks to her adorably meddlesome parents who nominated her--and she expects her biggest crime wave to involve an elderly flasher named Doug. But a teenage girl is missing, a kidnapper is on the loose, and all of this is reminding Sunshine why she left Del Sol in the first place. Add to that the trouble at her daughter's new school, plus and a kidnapped prized rooster named Puff Daddy, and, well, the forecast looks anything but sunny.
But even clouds have their silver linings. This one's got Levi, Sunshine's sexy, almost-old-flame, and a fiery-hot US Marshall. With temperatures rising everywhere she turns, Del Sol's normally cool-minded sheriff is finding herself knee-deep in drama and danger. Can Sunshine face the call of duty - and find the kidnapper who's terrorizing her beloved hometown - without falling head over high heels in love . . . or worse?
Synopsis for A Good Day for Chardonnay: Running a small-town police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth, carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff--and even fuller-time coffee guzzler--Sunshine Vicram, didn't get that memo.
All Sunshine really wants is one easy-going day. You know, the kind that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with take-out pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out, that's about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do that? And who hurt them?)
Before she can say iced mocha latte, Sunny's got a bar fight gone bad, a teenage daughter hunting a serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of her own abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a dangerous bad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows he's not the villain of her story. Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses the keys to her disappearance. At the very least, beneath it all, he possesses a serious set of abs. She's seen it. Once. Accidentally.
Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi which seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible raccoon that just doesn't know when to quit, Sunny's life is about to rocket to a whole new level of crazy.
Yep, definitely a good day for chardonnay.
