From The Back Of The Book:
Life is tough enough these days for Lydia Smith, licensed Para-archaeologist. Seriously stressed-out from a nasty incident in an alien tomb, she is obliged to work part-time in Shrimpton's House of Ancient Horrors, a very low budget museum. She has a plan to get her career back on track, but it isn't going well. Stuff keeps happening.
Take the dead body that she discovered in one of the sarcophagus exhibits. Who needed that? Finding out that her new client, Emmett London, is one of the most dangerous men in the city isn't helping matters either. And that's just today's list of setbacks. Here in the shadows of the Dead City of Old Cadence, things don't really heat up until After Dark.......
REVIEW:
This is another in an on-going series, but this latest addition to it, has left me feeling unfulfilled. There was no chemistry between Lydia and Emmett, absolutely none of the sizzle and sexual tension you have come to expect from Ms. Castle. The plot could have been interesting but was filled with alot of words and situations that were not explained and, at times, hard to follow. If you haven't read Bridal Jitters then you will have an even harder time following this story.
I don't think Ms. Castle has plans for another book in this series, but if she does one, I hope she goes back to what made the "flower series" so good. Great characterizations and satisfying plotlines and more polished world building.
GOOD
