“A wonderful gem found amid the dross that seems to becoming the norm for cosy mysteries these days.” – Goodreads

“Plenty of mystery with twists and turns to keep you swiping the pages of your Kindle. Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, reminding me of the style and humor of other authors like Janet Evanovich, Lois Greiman and Gemma Halliday! The ending is a complete surprise and I love how nothing in this book leaves you hanging! This book is completely entertaining, attention-grabbing from the getgo, moves along at a good pace with fun characters and a well-written mystery!” – Amazon

“I love Presley’s character. She’s strong, fiesty, and still finding her way. Turner did a great job with the “mystery” of the story. There were lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing.” -Amazon

“I was so entertained by Stilettos and Scoundrels that I wasn’t even tired. What a fabulous story. My rating is five stars for this one. If you like mysteries, shoes, food, and coffee, this is a great one for you.” -Baroness Book Trove

Book 3 – Harvest Moon Homecoming: When the high school’s float explodes five days before the National Farmer’s Day parade, Principal Calvin Finkenbinder sees his chance at the promotion to Superintendent disintegrate. Unless he enlists the help of Ellie Bright, the most annoying, disorganized and kissable woman he knows.

Book 4 – Yesterday’s Treasures: She doesn’t want a divorce, she just wants…something. Something more than being a single mom yet doing a man’s laundry.

Book 5 – Me and the Cute Catastrophe: I live in Idaho. (Yes, potatoes. *eye roll* Can we talk about something else?) And I love it here. Small town values galore and it’s right where I want to raise my girls after my jerk ex traded me in for a “younger, newer model” (his words, not mine).

Book 9 – The Small Town Boy’s Redemption: Blade Truax did some street racing when he was younger. Illegal, sure. But that’s not what sent him to prison. It was the lying, conniving Watkins girl and her father, Judge Watkins.
