For fans of Debbie Macomber and Elin Hilderbrand, Jean Stone’s “lovingly rendered” (Booklist) Vineyard novels are heartwarming beach reads set on beautiful Martha's Vineyard, featuring bestselling mystery author and Vineyard Inn proprietor Annie Sutton. Now Annie’s wedding is just around the corner—but so is trouble that may cast a shadow over her plans, and her future.

Synopsis:

Finding love on Martha’s Vineyard has been a dream come true—but for the bride-to-be, the price of happiness may be too high . . .

With her long-awaited wedding to police sergeant John Lyons only weeks away, bestselling author and Vineyard Inn proprietor Annie Sutton is faced with more drama than usual. Between the hideous heirloom gown her new family expects her to wear and the challenges of bonding with John’s contentious daughter Abigail, Annie’s having serious doubts. But when the baby she once found on her doorstep goes missing, Annie has bigger concerns, including that the little girl’s pregnant, older half-sister is in no condition to hear bad news . . .
 

Desperate for answers, Annie combs the island, questioning friends and even her family-to-be. Because suddenly it seems as if Abigail will do just about anything to stop her father from marrying Annie—even if it means putting a child at risk. But if scaring Annie half to death is the plan, it’s working. Nothing else matters now except finding the little girl. And if postponing her future with John—indefinitely—is the only way to make that happen, it’s a sacrifice Annie may have to make . . .

Review:

This is one of my this is one of my favorite cozy series (this is book 5), as it sort of tongue in cheek with a mystery writer being the subject of Chiclet cozy! It's taking a while or John and Annie to get to their wedding as things keep popping up you know little things like murders! LOL but now that it's here there are surprises galore and yes even more problems. Will they make it to their actually wedding date and location or will mother nature and other calamities arise? This is a fun series and I hate to give too much away, but if you love the series you'll love this entry, and if you're new to the series it's an interesting start. It's a good perfect spring read and don't miss it!
