Ticket to Love

Kristy is a police officer and a sixth-generation descendant of one of the founding families of the Cedar Falls, Michigan. Sheldon/Don Cooper is visiting Cedar Falls to help his sister adjust to moving there. They meet when Kristy writes Don a ticket for illegally parking his SUV. He receives a second ticket in short order from Kristy, and thus begins this interesting relationship. Unfortunately, there are questions and complications, and crimes and false accusations abound. Kristy wants to be a detective, so she spends time investigating all suspects, even when she’s sure they are innocent.

This story kept me intrigued. I thought I might know who was causing all of the trouble, but there was a major wrench toward the end that made me question everything!

I love the way these characters interact and I enjoyed the friendships that were portrayed. It seems like this is a stand-alone book that might be part of a larger series of books about this family-and now I’m interested in reading more.

Kristy starts off as a character finding her footing and does get stronger throughout the book. She realizes she has made some poor choices as far as describing her relationship with Don. After a period of introspection, she finally ‘mans up’ and doesn’t accept the small-minded limitations that have been imposed on her any longer. I loved this part of the book, because she finally grew into her powerful self!

I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily reviewed this book. This is my honest review.

Ticket to Love was a straight-forward romance with a cozy mystery element that helped make it a page-turner. The descriptive writing detailing the town and environs were a highlight. The exact kind of town that I would love to visit and explore. While I found both the H/h very likable, the romance was fairly sedate with some added conflict due to the mystery. If not for the mystery, I might have set the book aside. Matthews did a great job keeping me invested and interested in the outcome. Overall, enjoyable with added interest into the romances of possible future characters. (This is my voluntary and unbiased review of a complimentary copy of Ticket to Love via Ebook Discovery.)

This was a great romance. Lots of mystery and intrigue. It had a unique plot line that was very engaging.
