Spotlight
with author Elise Sax
Hello
everyone! Today I am featuring one book, but it is the second in
series, so I thought it would be nice to tell you about both just in
case you hadn't heard of the series before. I know everything is new
to me, but that is not a bad thing. I love learning about authors and
their books. SO today is another fabulous day where I get to do just
that. I hope you all look forward to this post as much as I do.
Please allow me to introduce to the blog:

Certain
to appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich, Jennifer Crusie, and Katie
MacAlister, Elise Sax’s hilarious series debut introduces
matchmaker-in-training Gladie Burger, who stumbles into a dangerous
quagmire of murder and red-hot romance.
Three
months has been Gladie Burger’s limit when it comes to staying in
one place. That’s why Gladie is more than a little skeptical when
her eccentric Grandma Zelda recruits her to the family’s
matchmaking business in the quaint small town of Cannes, California.
What’s more, Gladie is also highly unqualified, having a terrible
track record with romance. Still, Zelda is convinced that her
granddaughter has “the gift.” But when the going gets tough,
Gladie wonders if this gift has a return policy.
When
Zelda’s neighbor drops dead in his kitchen, Gladie is swept into
his bizarre family’s drama. Despite warnings from the
(distractingly gorgeous) chief of police to steer clear of his
investigation, Gladie is out to prove that her neighbor’s death was
murder. It’s not too long before she’s in way over her head—with
the hunky police chief, a dysfunctional family full of possible
killers, and yet another mysterious and handsome man, whose
attentions she’s unable to ignore. Gladie is clearly being
pursued—either by true love or by a murderer. Who will catch her
first?

Lovably
troublesome Gladie Burger runs into sizzling danger and a fiery love
triangle in the second installment of Elise Sax’s hilarious and
sexy Matchmaker romance series.
“Elise
Sax will make you laugh. Her larger-than-life characters jump off the
page and make crazy seem like a fun place to hang out.”—New York
Times bestselling author Christie Craig
Since
joining the family matchmaking business run by her eccentric Grandma
Zelda, Gladie is always looking for love. But when an unbearable
toothache knocks her out of commission and into the dentist’s
chair, she prays only for relief. No such luck. Emerging from an
anesthetic haze, Gladie awakes to find that not only is her tooth
still throbbing, but her dentist is dead—and the lead suspect in
the murder, office receptionist Belinda, just so happens to be
Gladie’s first real client. Now it’s up to Gladie to find Belinda
a man and keep her from being locked up behind bars.
As
if that weren’t enough distraction, two gorgeous men are vying for
Gladie’s attention: Spencer, the playboy chief of police, and
Holden, Gladie’s secretive, gorgeously muscled neighbor. Still,
Gladie’s not complaining about having a helping hand or two when
the case leads her to a dangerously bizarre cult. She may have met
her match—and if she’s not careful, it could be her last.
