Samantha Arnold, prep
cook and struggling romance novelist, believes adventure is right around
the corner, but nothing exciting happens in the small town of Newburg,
Indiana. When a routine trip to pick up chicken results in meeting
Mitchell, she can’t help but hope things are about to turn.
Special
Agent Patton Mitchell despises the farming community. He’s watching his
mark as well as the meek and mild Samantha. Her questionable Internet
search history has triggered a visit from the NSA, and he’s not above a
little flirting to get his answers.
Small town life explodes
with intrigue, guns and betrayal to boot. What she thinks of as a madcap
caper is a fight for life or death in Mitchell’s book. Between dodging
bullets, chasing a would-be terrorist and dealing with drop-in
relatives, there might just be a shot at romance—if the bad guys don’t
get them first.
We
start this book with Sam at the Cafe, opening her red cooler and realizing she
had been "gyped" (love that word) out of the 12 chicken's Joe's farm,
but more specifically, the fake farmer who is at Joe's farm Sam goes back and confront
the fake farmer (aka Mitchell) and demand either the 12 chickens she paid for
or her money back.
This
book was such a joy to read. It made me laugh so hard, without that awkwardness
that I normally find in a Suspense/rom com. I love the fact that the characters
a made to feel real, from Mitchell's jealousy to Sam's messy apartment. I also
loved the insight into the pitfalls of being a digital author. I love the whole
premise of this suspense and the bad guys’ keystone cops approach had me
laughing so hard, I cried.
This book was very well written and flowed
seamlessly, I encourage everyone buy this book.
I
give this great story a 9 out 10, and I am eternally grateful that there is
FINALLY a suspense/Rom-com that doesn't make me cringe and is actually
believable
