Bookish Thursday - Homecoming Chaos by D. W. Brooks

This was such a good read! I hated I had to put it down in the middle to attend to other things which were on a deadline. But first the business of Homecoming Chaos by D. W. Brooks which is sponsored by WOW-Women on Writing. 

About the Book

A dead body in the parking lot of her family’s business, a killer on the loose, and a handsome detective asking a lot of questions…

 

Jamie Scott’s life fell apart four years ago when she broke off her engagement, turned down a dream job, and went overseas to run away from her life. Now she’s back, but the reunion is not without problems. She arrives home just in time to attend the soiree her mother planned, but she’s not prepared for what she finds—a dead employee in the parking lot.

 

Detective Nick Marshall is assigned to the murder case at the forensics lab owned by Jamie’s family. He meets the headstrong Jamie, but he has a job to do. And his attraction to her… well, he’s a professional.

 

Jamie knows the stakes are high. She has to face the past and save her parents’ business while dealing with her family drama and an uncertain future. She also has to deal with Nick, who wants her out of the way of his investigation. But fate keeps throwing them in one another’s paths… and into chaos that they both want to avoid, but neither can seem to escape.

And now for my opinion...

Jamie seems to have it all. She is attractive (a teen model) and smart (a doctor), but her family relationships have always been an issue. Which I could identify with. Well, maybe not the modeling and being a doctor part, but the family relationships definitely. 

Anyway, after 4 years apart from her family, she comes home. Not only does her reappearance throw the family into chaos, but it seems her arrival coincides with the discovery of a dead body at her parents business. 

I LOVE this book. The writing style is so enjoyable. There was just the right amount of humor for the story. Jamie isn't perfect and neither is her successful family. The romance aspect has just enough tension. Actually, (hint, hint D. W. Brooks) I need a story about her siblings now, that's how much I enjoyed this book. 

But don't take my word for it, check out these other reviews. (Hint...if you visit the author's website there is a free prequel novella!)
