A Dazzle of Diamonds by Liz Johnson is the third book in the Georgia Coast Romance series. It works as a great stand alone book so no worries about reading the series in order. It's what I like to call a "fast and fun". No deep issues, just lighthearted and enjoyable. There was several parts that I found humorous which is always fun as well.
"Penelope Jean hunter loved every wedding she'd ever been to. Except her own."
Penelope Hunter loves her job as the events manager at one of Savannah's premier historic venues - until her ex-fiance walks into her office with his new bride to be. To make matters worse, a scheming social matriarch is intent on seeing Penelope fired, especially if she insists on being seen with Tucker Westbrook.
Since returning from serving two tours in the middle East, Tucker has built a thriving security company. His work is nearly as stabilizing as his friendship with Penelope, who has been by his side since childhood. But when the lone candidate for county sheriff goads him, Tucker loses his cool and ends up on the ballot - and the receiving end of a smear campaign claiming the Westbrooks were traitors to the South.
To clear his name, Tucker and Penelope must joing forces to find the truth behind a 150-year-old lost treasure. But the more time they spend together, the closer she comes to losing her job - and falling helplessly in love.
I love when a love interest starts with a friendship and catches the couple unaware. Tucker and Penelope had a long lasting friendship and their bond was already very strong. Such a firm foundation for building a steady relationship.
Even though the story was mostly present day, there was a bit of history as the characters relied on an old diary to help uncover a mystery. This was such an added plus and made the book all the more enjoyable for me.
My attention was held from the first page to the last. A perfect blend of mystery, romance and faith.
***Thanks to Revell for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
