With determination on her side Gladie will stop at nothing to track down her kidnapper's killer and reveal him/her once and for all so that she can prove that Luanda is a fraud. But is it too late?
LOVE GAME is a fun, mystery book with a captivating storyline. However, the writing was not particularly enjoyable. There is a lot of humor in places that didn't need it and it was less funny than I believe the writer intended on. At times, it was very stop and go because it seemed hard to understand what the writer was trying to portray. However, I do give the plot a big thumbs up!
Five months have passed since Gladie Burger came to Cannes,
California, to join her eccentric Grandma Zelda in the
family matchmaking business, and Gladie is quickly mastering
the rules of attraction. Her latest fix-up is still going
strong and Gladieβs bank account is back in the blackβuntil
a rival matchmaker arrives in town and has both Gladie and
Zelda seeing red.
Not only is self-proclaimed psychic Luanda Laughing-Eagle
stealing Grandma Zeldaβs clients, but Zelda is convinced
that Luandaβs ESP is total BS. She tasks Gladie with
exposing Luanda as a fraud, but Gladieβs attention is
diverted when murder comes a-calling. Spencer Bolton, the
gorgeous chief of police and Gladieβs on-again, off-again
flame, wants her to stay out of the investigationβand away
from the deliciously chiseled detective who also aims to win
Gladieβs heart. But the one thing Gladieβs learned is that
in business, love and murder . . . itβs always personal.
