I absolutely adored this book. It’s a delicious blend of mystery, romance, and self-discovery wrapped in the glamorous, sun-soaked charm of Nice, France. Evie’s journey felt so relatable, trying to prove herself in her career while navigating heartbreak and unexpected danger. The way her relationship with Jacob unfolds is slow-burning and real, full of those awkward, tentative moments that make romance feel genuine and heartfelt. The themes of justice and personal growth resonated deeply with me. The twists kept me guessing and glued to the pages, but it was the emotional depth; the vulnerabilities and connections that truly made this story shine. I loved how the romance wasn’t rushed or forced; it grew naturally amidst the suspense, making the story feel balanced and real. This book reminded me that sometimes the greatest discoveries happen when we face the unexpected, and I couldn’t get enough.

I just finished a great book. The Boutique Hotel by Melissa D Mackinnon is out this summer. Pick it up!

This was a fun way to kick off a warm sunny weekend. A destination wedding in Nice, France brings together a mixed group of lawyers trying to get prenups squared away, a travel agent trying to mix business with pleasure and old college friends of the groom's brother. What starts off as a fun getaway at the newly renovated, budget priced Boutique Hotel of Nice, turns darker when children keep turning up, without seeming to belong to any guests, and then travel agent Evie finds a body in the bushes by the pool.

Two mysteries, a fancy wedding, hookups and love connections, annoying bosses, and the beautiful sun drenched south of France make this a good, quick read.

My only complaint, was that the "watermarks" on the free readers copy that I got, were very, VERY intrusive - often appearing in the middle of a sentence. And the first page was so messed up that I'm not entirely sure, exactly how the book actually begins. The transitions from character view points were also jarring and I imagine that's largely because of the odd page breaks, and watermarks due to the reader copy version.

Evie is a travel agent, who attends a destination wedding in Nice, France, but when a dead body turns up she helps search for the killer.

Thank you this was a very fun easy read I stayed up all night reading till the very last day I’m over joyed with this story I live the setting beautiful wedding the destination was great yesssss
