The main character also got on my nerves. I love a good sex scene, but sometimes the story works without one. This is one of those authors who have a decent story, but then think that they need to throw in sex innuendo and scenes. There is a whole part about buying a pink thong that is just stupid. I don't know why I noticed this except it was very sophomoric and out of place. He had a cute butt, I looked at the firm butt, she had a big butt, etc. After a couple of chapters I noticed that the author mentioned people's butts a lot. I tried to like it, I wanted to like it.it did have some good scenes, but overall, it was not very good. It had decent reviews, people liked it.big mistake. I got hooked on the Amelia Peabody Archaeologist Series and thought this might be fun. I was looking for something light and enjoyable to read, this sounded interesting.a mother-in-law ghost series. The word 'butt' is mentioned in every chapter. Thanks for taking the time to read my review!

All thoughts opinions and ratings are my own. I am really enjoying this series and can not wait to see what happens next!!! Super quirky fun series!!! Disclosure – I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Great voices that stayed distinct and consistent. The pace is quick enough to keep the reader engaged and her energy is wonderful. I love the gentle roll to her Southern accents, they are light but distinct.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Johanna Parker, who is fantastic. I love a mystery that keeps me on my toes. There were some great curve balls that I never expected. Such fun! The mystery is many layered, which keeps you guessing at times. I love the whole crazy dynamic of the town of Mudbug. It is mostly smooth, but there are times it gets jumpy. The narrative is mixed between the leads and supporting cast. It is also not a squeaky clean romance, it has a touch of steam but not the uber hawt details. There are lots of moments to build the relationship, but it isn't all hearts and flowers. The romance is ore subtle, not a sweet courtship. Fortunately, he shows true character later and ends up deserving his spot in his gal's heart. I had moments where I felt he wasn't good enough for Maryse. Luc is yummy, he is a bit of a player and you might find him a bit questionable. I love her analytical mind and how she tries to apply logic to the chaos. You really feel for her situation with the disastrous mother in law ghost. She is sassy yet endearing at the same time. Get ready for an eccentric read! Maryse is such a great character. It is a really fun read with such quirky and engaging characters. This is book one in the series, setting up the ghost/cozy mystery/contempo romance.
