Security Specialist [aka Private Investigator] Grady Sullivan feels he needs a scorecard to keep track of the players and their motives.   All Grady knows for sure is that Annie is not what he expected and he cannot let her get hurt by Archie’s Machiavellian schemes.  BUT, is it only Archie who is scheming?

This is a romp on the lighter side of mystery with the romance of Annie and Grady developing as they try to find – not who has the motive, as they all seem to have one, but who is doing more than just wishing Archie and now Annie dead.  The tongue-in-cheek humor as well as plot twists build this story into one I can recommend for readers who wish to relax with a light romantic mystery.

James Wyatt, president of Wyatt Industries was all business.  He doesn’t understand just why he reacted so strongly to Maggie Kendall’s innocently teasing question “When was the last time Jamie was allowed out to play?”  BUT he does know that Maggie is the one he wants as a playmate.  Although he cannot stop thinking of her, how can he consider a serious relationship with someone who will demand more of his attention than he is able to give? 

Maggie started MAGGIE’S MISCELLANY soon after her parents died as a way to support herself and her younger sister and brother.  Her successful but unique business has her dressing in many costumes.  Just her luck to meet the man of her dreams dressed in greasepaint for her job as a clown at a children’s birthday party.  Can she show the man she loves that it is possible to have a fun in life and work?

The author gives entertaining descriptions of some of Maggie’s unique jobs and the humor found when involved in a courtship.  The characters are full and the action fast and entertaining.  The conflict Maggie feels about her role in Jamie’s life is well written and no less intense because of the humor of the story.  You will find yourself caring that these two can work out their personal conflicts and have the HEA promised by true love.  Meanwhile, as is Kasey’s trademark, the secondary characters add a special dimension to what is already an enjoyable story.
