This story had me from the very first page. First, a plane towing a banner declaring "I love Chloe Jackson" is just the beginning. As the anonymous declarations of love piled up, I wondered how I'd feel in Chloe's shoes, especially as she realized how well the stalker seemed to know her. Then, to find out the likely identity of the stalker when a dead body is found clutching a picture of her. That is the situation Chloe finds herself in as the book opens. And that is all before her romantic interest, Rip, is taken in for questioning.
Chloe is determined to find out who murdered Perry, who she once planned to marry. That was about a year and a half ago, however. Still, she seems to think of him kindly, albeit as something of a staid, stay-at-home bore. As she learns more about him in her present, though, she begins to realize that perhaps she didn't know him as well as she thought. Was the man she thought she knew just an illusion? What other secrets will she discover? Who are all these women showing up and claiming they were his only love?
Why is Vivi introducing Chloe to a steady stream of eligible men? What does Vivi have against Rip? Who will show up at the dinner staged by the victim prior to his death? Who isn't what they appear to be? Will Chloe and Rip's young relationship survive the arrival of her boisterous brothers? How does Chloe manage to get herself into such predicaments as she faces near the end of the book? Speaking of the other characters, they're a likeable bunch. Her brothers are a hoot, that's for sure. Heck, you'll even learn how to make certain cocktails if you're paying attention.
Bottom line, an intriguing, fun read. Be sure to add it to your reading list.
Thank you #NetGalley and #KensingtonBooks for the ARC.
