Sometimes I dare to leave my safe place of crime and thriller novels and venture into the world of feel-good and romance. I actually do it gladly if the book's setting is in the American South. I just love small town stories, where everyone knows everyone and they drink sweet tea. I was sold when AIN'T SHE A PEACH was available to read and I read the blurb about a former Atlanta cop who moves to Lake Sackett, Georgia and falls for Frankie McCready, the cute coroner who talks to the dead. She is just polite, they don't answer back or anything.

Is the book as sweet, funny and romantic as the blurb want us to believe? You bet your hat it is! Frankie is a spunky 28-year-old woman still living at home, not that she doesn't want to move out. However, being a sickly child has made her parents overprotective of their only child and just can't bear the thought of hurting them. Even if she does feel it's time, perhaps even more now so with the new sheriff Eric Linden in town. They have a past, but Frankie isn't sure there's a future with him, even though he's charming, handsome, and deliciously hot...

AIN'T SHE A PEACH is everything you want in a Southern rom-com. Frankie and her family are a delight to read about and often I had a smile on my face while I read about Frankie latest antics. The book is the second in the Southern Eclectic series and you can definitely read this one without having read the first book, or the novellas. Warning, however: you might find the need to get the first book after finishing this one.
