Romancing the Gravestone by Gena Showalter

I want to use this review to talk about a big problem we have with books. For the love of God, LOOK AT MY BOY BEAU!!! HE'S ADROABLE! I had it so bad that every time Jane mentioned Connor I started fuming. This book is all second lead syndrome to me. Beau was giving that shit up for free! He's just over here showering her in cash and you expect me to ignore that?! Am I BLIND?!?!) He was good up until you put this perfect specimen of a man in Jane's cemetery installing security equipment FOR FREE (do you guys know how much that glass break equipment costs? It's not fucking cheap. He's the quiet, golden retriever type and I fucking ate that shit up. If he asked me to crawl - okay, now we're just getting kinky so I'll stop that train of thought.īeau had my attention since the first page when he came lumbering in. I would wake up at 7am on the dot every single morning to make this man's toast.

I'm going to be frank and say that the authors made Beau way too appealing to me to not be the final choice. This book has sparked my interest in mysteries and I can’t wait for the next one. We get to enjoy the character development of Jane and get to know her maybe but not really but ok maybe love interest Conrad. This book is a fun, light hearted mystery that has all the “who done its” without the over analyzed crime scenes and suspects. Readers get to hear Jane’s inner monologue and, if you’re like me, cringe slightly to yourself as you watch her say things that make you experience second hand embarrassment. Pair that with Jane’s over abundance of confidence in her nonexistent detective skills, and you get a fun filled ride from start to finish. Jane’s character is a little bit socially awkward which brings a realistic feel to her development. In this book, we are introduced to Jane Ladling, your not so typical graveyard caretaker who finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. As an avid reader of Gena Showalter, I decided to give this novel a try. Mystery novels are not something I have ever read before.
