Fresh Fiction Review

Death, Taxes, and Silver Spurs
Diane Kelly

Reviewed by Samantha Cudworth

Romance Suspense | Mystery

Tara Hollaway is an IRS special agent who is in way over her head. She is supposed to be collecting back taxes from super sexy country singer Brazos Rivers. The only problem is that every time she is around Brazos she becomes star struck. This is not only a problem for Tara but also for special agent Nick Pratt, Tara's boyfriend. DEATH, TAXES, AND SILVER SPURS is the seventh installment in Diane Kelly's Tara Holloway series. I have read all of the previous books, but I loved that there is enough back-story included that you would not be lost if this is the first book you have read in the series. Diane Kelly has a way of writing that pulls you into each page. Her characters' chemistry is amazingly written. This book showed different sides to the characters that we had not seen much of in the previous books. Tara is a sassy, smart-mouthed, trigger-happy lady. Her reaction to being around a sexy country singer made her seem even more human to me. The same goes for Nick. The storyline is easy to follow. The combination of humor, romance, and mystery had me turning the pages faster and faster. I could not put the book down. Diane Kelly is a marvelous storyteller. She once again has a hit on her hands!

SUMMARY

HE’S ONE OF AMERICA’S BRIGHTEST STARS.

So maybe it goes without saying that IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway is star-struck? This time she’s head over heels…in trouble.

Easy’s getting harder every day for Tara. A tax-evading pet groomer managed to buzz off a big chunk of her hair…just in time for her date strictly-business meeting with country-music heartthrob Brazos Rivers. Of course Tara shouldn’t care—she’s devoted to Special Agent Nick Pratt, after all—but Rivers does know how to steal a woman’s heart with a song…

"Better than a refund check from the IRS!"
Reader to Reader Reviews

Meanwhile, Tara’s up to her fracking neck with another case: A natural-gas company with a money trail that is almost as suspicious as Brazos Rivers’s tax return. Which is to say, he can’t seem to cough up one. Tara figures the misdeeds of her celebrity crush must be an oversight. But will she dance to a different tune…when her tax-evading idol starts evading her, too?
