MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tamara G. Cooper is a new-to-me author but the cover and book description of The Vacant House<\/strong>\u00a0 both appeared interesting so I took a chance on it. I found a book with a fast-moving plot filled with likeable characters, some of them quite quirky. Heroine Sophie O’Brion is a best-selling author who lives in a small town and finds herself accused of killing her neighbor’s cat. From that point things escalate quickly with Sophie in danger of landing in jail or losing her life.<\/p>\n

In this entertaining mystery that seems to make absolutely no sense at times, there are a number of possible suspects as well as motives but the author does a great job of untangling all the threads to where it makes perfect sense at the end. I certainly had no clue where it was all going! Action, danger, plenty of humor, second chance romance, and lovable pets that play a major role all work together to assure readers of an enjoyable few hours of reading time. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Celebrate Lit. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She knows she didn\u2019t do it, but everybody thinks she did. <\/b><\/p>\n

It all begins when best-selling author Sophie O\u2019Brion is the last person to see a murder victim alive. She looks even more guilty when a woman from her church is beaten, and Sophie was seen with her just hours before. Suddenly, people she has known her entire life begin pointing accusing fingers at her.<\/p>\n

Marine Master Sergeant Burke Maguire, an old flame who dumped Sophie years ago, has recently been hired as a police officer in Forman Falls, Texas, and is assigned her case. She doesn\u2019t want his help.<\/p>\n

As she gets deeper and deeper into trouble, though, she must rely on him, but trusting him is another matter.<\/p>\n

Will they be able to work together, maneuver dangerous twists and turns, and finally clear her name?<\/p>\n

A clean romantic suspense novel that grips you from the very beginning and won\u2019t let you go!\u00a0<\/i>The Vacant House<\/i>\u00a0is an unforgettable adventure. Read it today, if you have plans to stay up all night.<\/p>\n

MORE FROM TAMARA:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Book 1 of Sophie O\u2019Brion Mysteries introduces us to Sophie O\u2019Brion, a quirky, funny, and reclusive mystery writer who lives in a small town in East Texas. Because Sophie looks at life through a lens of humor, funny moments appear often. There are frightening moments, too, in her quest to clear her name from pointing fingers accusing her of murder and attempted murder. Sophie is vulnerable, yet strong; reclusive, yet kind; funny, yet serious. And she is determined! It doesn\u2019t help that added to all this is the return of her high school sweetheart who dumped her 12 years before to join the Marines. As a new police officer, Burke is assigned her case, but she doesn\u2019t want his help. Sparks fly, trust doesn\u2019t, and love stays comfortably in the past. Will Sophie and Burke be able to save her reputation and re-ignite their love for each other? I hope you enjoy this book! Happy reading!<\/p>\n
