Today is the Did I Notice Your Book? blogfest hosted by Ciara Knight, the mastermind behind the DINYB series, and Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh. The idea is to pick a book that isn't yet on the New York Times bestsellers list, and advertise it on our blogs. We're not supposed to contact the author directly to let them know what we're doing, but wait and see if they find out on their own!
My reasons for choosing this book:
- The title
- The cover (and yeah, I hate summer, and already live by a beach, but still, I was enticed)
- The blurb!
Being ditched at the altar is the least of Lizzie Mancini’s problems. Sitting in a Caribbean jail cell accused of murdering her “pretend” husband, however, is at the top of the list.
After her real groom jilts her, Lizzie decides to go solo on their Belize honeymoon and meets handsome Michael Garcia, who is nursing his own heartache. To avoid the bleakness of dining and sightseeing alone, as well as questions from nosy, if well-meaning, fellow guests at the couples-only resort, the two agree to pose as newlyweds for the week—no strings (or sex) attached.
The plan runs smoothly until Lizzie enjoys the attentions of the local scuba instructor and Michael’s body washes ashore. Suddenly the “Mrs.” is mistakenly ID’d as suspect numero uno. With the Polizia Nationale ready to close the case and cook her goose, Lizzie will have to solve the crime herself.
Unexpected romance and international intrigue are center stage in Beth Orsoff’s mystery caper that takes “’til death do us part” to a whole new level.
Ooh, this sounds cool!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of this one! I was thinking it sounded like a done story until I read the part about Michael's body washing ashore - that really got my attention! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Trisha .. certainly I'd be drooling to get to the Caribbean after I'd read the story and found out who dunnit ... as you say to death us do part - is stretching the phrase ... Good choice by Beth Orsoff ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI know the subject matter is serious, but I can't help thinking the book is somewhat funny. :) I'm in the blogfest as well:

What a fantastic idea for a blogfest! And the book sounds like a fresh spin on the jilted bride story.

That blurb is awesome! It doesn't sound like my "regular" read either, but it sounds really cool with that twist in the blurb . . .the romantic guy washing ashore on a pretend honeymoon . . wow!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover, and the blurb reads like a great concept for a rom-com-mystery movie. :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds cool. Thanks for highlighting :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. What a mess! Sounds like a great book, though.
ReplyDeleteJust the cover catches my attention on this gloomy, gray PA day. Thanks for sharing this interesting blurb.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating. I hope Beth finds her book.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun book. I'm going to have to add it to my growing stack.
ReplyDeleteLittle difficult to honeymoon solo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in our blogfest.
Wow. Sounds like a great mystery novel!
ReplyDeleteLove the blurb on this one! *TBR pile topples over*
ReplyDeleteOoh, this sounds great!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does look good.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see a mystery on this blogfest, and this one looks like a fun read.
ReplyDeleteTHis is a nice idea- I wish I'd found out about it. Gives an unknown a little PR. The book I am reading right now would fit nicely in that category.
ReplyDeleteExotic location + international intrigue? Sounds like a winner! Great blurb!
ReplyDeleteOh that cover! Just what I'd like to be doing right now. But the book looks like it's full of action - thanks for recommending it.
ReplyDeleteNow this book sounds intriguing and the cover looks good too.
ReplyDeleteoooo! love the twist!
ReplyDeleteso honeymoon spots are full of jilted lovers? should note that! ha!
She has a hard time keeping the guys around - LOL!
ReplyDeleteNice blurb and yes, that cover is very inviting!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought it was a mystery/crime book by the cover, but I love the cover.
