Loading... First-Degree Fudgeby Christine DeSmet
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) Catherine_Dilts | Feb 25, 2022 |  I'm not rating this because I couldn't even get past chapter 1. I tried, really I did. Perhaps I was in a less-than-tolerant mood, but the writing just isn't for me. I submit to the jury: 1. "Oh my gosh golly giddy-ups, I saw Hollywood's voluptuous, von-vivant vixen vamp!" There are so many things wrong with this sentence including crimes against French. 2. "Her eyes melted like dark chocolate as an ambrosial smile curved onto her face." Ambrosial smile? am·bro·sial [am-broh-zhuhl] adjective 1. exceptionally pleasing to taste or smell; especially delicious or fragrant. I realise it's technically correct, but it so, really doesn't work for me. 3. The MC shares her fudge shop with her grandfather, who runs a Live Bait and Bobbers shop! All signs point to a straight face when the author announces that the name of the shop is Oosterling's Live Bait, Bobbers and Belgian Fudge. In the name of all that is holy, who thinks a live bait and fudge shop is a good idea?!?! On my best day, I'm not a fan of fudge and I'm never going to willingly go into a LIVE BAIT SHOP to buy any. Chocolate night-crawler fudge anyone? murderbydeath | Sep 20, 2014 | no reviews | add a review

She hopes using local fresh dairy and her own flavorful imagination to cook up one-of-a-kind fudge will also create a brand-new start for her. And if she can tempt wealthy ex film star Rainetta Johnson to try her newest creation, Cinderella Pink, at a local fund raiser, maybe her road to big time success will be short and sweet. But when Rainetta chokes to death on a stolen diamond hidden in the fudges fluffy depths, Ava is pegged as the prime suspect. Now saving her business and reputation means investigating a batch of townspeople who had numerous reasons to hate disdainful, hard bargaining Rainetta. With Ava's best friend and her former flame in the suspect mix, she must figure out who the real culprit is fast or face a very bitter end. No library descriptions found. |
